名校勵志英語演講 第100期:執(zhí)著于你的夢想(5)

[00:00.19]My parents, of course, I have to tell you, didn't understand my dreams at all. 當(dāng)然，我得告訴你們，我父母根本無法理解我的夢想。 [00:05.01]They were always wondering, they said, "What is he doing? When are you going to get a job, a real job?When are you going to make money?" 他們總是疑惑地問，“他在做什么呢？你什么時候能得到一份工作，一份真正的工作？你什么時候能掙錢？” [00:10.14]And all of those questions I got. 還有一些類似的疑惑。 [00:11.33]And they said, "I hope we didn't raise a bum, someone that doesn't make money and just wants to live in a gymnasium and think about their bodies." 他們會說：“希望我們養(yǎng)的不是一個尋歡作樂的兒子，一個不掙錢卻只想在健身館里考慮他的身材的人。” [00:19.01]Well, I endured all of this negative thinking, and the more negative the thinking got, 我承受了所有這一切消極的想法，而且這些想法越消極， [00:23.53]and the more negative the questions got, the stronger and the more positive I became, the stronger I became inside. 我就變得越積極，這些疑惑越多，我就變得越堅強，我的內(nèi)心也變得更強大。 [00:30.44]So of course some of your families maybe think the same way, and this is why I'm mentioning that. 當(dāng)然你們中有些人的家人可能也會這樣想，這也是我提起這件事的原因。 [00:35.17]Some of your families maybe don't believe in your dreams. But let me tell you something, my young friends. 你們的家人也許不相信你們的夢想，但是，朋友們，讓我告訴你們，執(zhí)著于你的夢想！ [00:40.29]Keep your dreams. No matter what, keep your dreams. 無論如何，堅持你們的夢想。 [00:44.10]Don't give up on them, even when you are temporarily defeated or denied. Keep your dreams. 即使你們遭遇暫時的失敗或者被否定，也不要放棄你們的夢想。執(zhí)著于你們的夢想。 [00:51.03]I remember the first time I went to the United States and I was competing in a competition, the World Championships in Bodybuilding. 我還記得第一次到美國參加世界健美錦標(biāo)賽。 [00:57.39]I lost. I came in second, and I was devastated. I was crushed. I felt like a loser, a major loser, let me tell you. 當(dāng)時我輸了，我僅得了第二，感覺非常絕望，徹底崩潰了。讓我告訴你們，我當(dāng)時就像一個失敗者，一個遭受慘敗的人。 [01:06.23]I cried, as a matter of fact, because I felt like I disappointed my friends and I disappointed myself. 我哭了，事實上因為我感覺自己讓朋友們失望了，也讓自己失望了。 [01:12.13]But the next day I got my act together, I shifted gears, and I said, "I'm going to learn from that lesson. 但第二天，我重振旗鼓，改變了態(tài)度，并對自己說，“我要吸取教訓(xùn)。 [01:19.29]I'm going to stay here in America. I'm not going to go back to Europe. 我要留在美國。我不會再回歐洲， [01:23.12]I'm going to stay in America and I'm going to train with the American champions, I'm going to train the American way. 我要留在美國與美國的冠軍一起訓(xùn)練，以美國的方式訓(xùn)練。 [01:27.59]I'm going to eat the American food, I'm going to train with the American machines and the principles." 我要吃美國的食物，用美國的健美器材和原則來鍛煉?！? [01:32.15]And a year later, in America, I became the World Champion in Bodybuilding. So I think this is a very, very important lesson. 一年后，我成了世界健美冠軍。所以，我認(rèn)為這是一次非常重要的教訓(xùn)。
