篇三:PPT英语演讲稿
Why you will fail [fel] to have a great career [k'r(r)]你为什么不会成就伟业 中英对照演讲稿: I want to discuss with you this morning why you're going to fail to have a great career. (Laughter) 今天上午我想和你们讨论一下, 你为什么不会成就伟业。(笑声)
I know some of you have already decided you want a good career. You're going to fail(Laughter). Those trying to have good careers are going to fail, because, really, good jobs are now disappearing. There are great jobs and great careers, and then there are the high-workload, high-stress, bloodsucking['bldsk], soul-destroying [dstr] kinds of jobs, and almost nothing in between.
我知道你们有些人已经决定了, 你们想要一个成功的事业。 你们也会失败的-(笑声)-。(笑声)想事业有成
的人会失败, 因为,真的,现在好工作都在消失。 有好工作,和好事业, 也有工作量大,压力大, 吸食血液,侵蚀灵魂的那种工作, 而且几乎没有工作能好点的。So the people looking for good jobs are going to fail. I'm going to talk about those looking for great jobs, great careers, and why you're going to, why you're going to fail. First reason is that no matter how many times people tell you, \to pursue [p'sju:] your passion [pn], you have to pursue your dreams, you have to pursue, the greatest fascination [fsnen] in your life,\and again and then you decide not to do it. 所以想找好工作的人会失败。 我谈谈那些寻找伟业的人, 你们为什么要寻找,为什么会失败。 第一个原因是不管多少次别人告诉你, “如果你想成就伟业,你就必须追随你的热忱, 你必须追随你的梦想,你必须追随, 你人生中最大的吸引,“ 你听过这句话一遍又一遍,然后你决定, 不去这样做。 I'm not quite sure why you decide not to do it. You're too lazy to do it. It's too hard. You're afraid if you look for your passion and don't find it, you'll feel like you're an idiot [dit], so then you make excuses [kskjuz] about why you're not going to look for
your passion. And they are excuses, boys and girls. We're going to go through a whole long list, your creativity, and thinking of excuses not to do what you really need to do if you want to have a great career. 我不太确定你为什么决定不去做。 你太懒了。这事太难。 你害怕如果你去寻找梦想然后找不到, 你会觉得你像个白痴,所以你给自己找借口, 为什么你不去追寻你的梦想。 这些都是借口,女士们先生们。 我们要列一个长单子,你的创造力, 想想你不去做成就伟业该做的事情的借口。 So, for example, one of your great excuses is, \great careers are really and truly, for most people, just a matter of luck, so I'm going to stand around, I'm going to try to be lucky, and if I'm lucky, I'll have a great career. If not, I'll have a good career.\But a good
career is an impossibility, so that's not going to work.
所以,举例来说,你众多借口之一是, “嗯,伟业实际上对于大多数人来说, 只是运气问题,所以我就在这待着, 我就试试做那个幸运的人,然后如果我真幸运的话, 我就能成就伟业。如果不能,我就找个还不错的事业。”, 但是没有还不错的事业,所以这个行不通。
Then, your other excuse is, \there are special people who pursue their passions, but they are talent. I'm not a talent. When I was five, I thought I was a talent, but my
teachers have beaten that idea out of my head long since.\(Laughter) Or\You see, if this was 1950, being completely competent, that would have given you a great career. But guess what This is almost XX.
然后,你还有其他借口:“是的,有那些与众不同的人, 追寻自己的梦想,但是他们是天才。我不是天才。 我五岁的时候以为自己是天才, 但是我的教授们早就把这个念头, 打消了。或者“ 现在你看,如果这是在1950年, 完全有能力, 就能让你成就伟业。 但是你知道么?现在几乎是XX年了。
I have an interest! I have an interest! You tell me. I say, \trying to tell me It is not passion. Passion is your greatest love. Passion is the thing that will help you create the highest expression of your talent. Passion, interest -- it's not the same thing. Are you really going to go to your partner and say, \interesting.\And if that, you will die alone.
