《暮光之城》第三部<月食>中Jessica的高中毕业演讲,个人感觉英文版感觉更好些:)
When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, the president or in my case, a princess.
When we were ten, they asked again, we answered: Rock star, Cowboy, or in my case, the gold medalist.
But now we’ve grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this? Who the hell knows?
This isno't the time to make hard fast decision, it is the time to make mistakes.
Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere . Fall in love, a lot.~Major in Philosophy because there is no way to make a career out of that. Change mind and change again, because nothing is permanent.
So make as many mistakes as you can. That way ,someday, when they ask what we want to be, we won’t have to guess, we'll know.
当我们五岁时,大人问我们长大后想干什么?我们大部分的回答是:总统、宇航员之类的,或者像我自己的回答:一个公主!
当我们十岁时,大人们又问一遍,我们的回答是:摇滚巨星、牛仔,或者以我自己来说:赢得金牌。
但现在我们长大了,大人们想要一个严肃的答案。好吧,那这个回答怎么样:谁他妈知道呢?
现在不是作出艰难而仓促的决定的时候,现在是犯错的时候。登上错误的列车,困在某处(到处转转尝试一下失败);坠入爱河,一次又一次;去学哲学吧,因为学哲学绝对没前途!改变决定,再一次反悔,因为没有什么是永恒不变的。
所以尽可能去多犯些错误吧,以后有一天当大人们再问及我们想干什么时,我们不需要再去猜测,因为已经了然于心。
-----前年网上有很多这段演讲的视频,我还转帖了一个到别的贴吧里,现在大概是因为版权的关系,统统木有了,可惜。
