彭博2013在肯尼恩学院(9)

And if you continue to work hard you will find opportunities that continue to be rewarding.

如果你愿意一直努力你将能够持续从工作和生活中得到回报

I can only tell you that I came from a family with no connections and no contacts I wrote letters. I called. I knocked on doors.

我只想告诉你们 我出身于一个无关系无背景的家庭我四处写求职信 打求职电话 敲门找雇主

I asked friends to keep their ears open for opportunities That's probably why today, if I interview a recent college grad.

我请朋友帮我四处留意工作机会也许正因为此 我面试新近毕业的大学生时

Who tells me he or she spent the summer curing cancer bringing peace to the Middle East.

如果他们跟我说暑期在治疗癌症为中东寻求和平

And writing the Great American Novel, I might be impressed But I'm certainly more likely to hire the person.

写了伟大美国的小说 这可能会给我留下深刻印象但我显然更愿意招那些

Who tells me that he or she spent this summer working days, nights, and weekends for an auto-body shop.

告诉我 他们整个暑期没日没夜 没有周末地工作于修车厂

Or a construction company in order to pay tuition or help with family bills There is no substitute for hard work in this life.

或是建筑公司 以此来支付学费或分担家庭账单的人生命中没有东西能够替代努力

And if you're willing to do it, if you're eager to do it then the likelihood you're doing it well keeps going up.

如果你愿意努力并渴望成功那么你真正成功的机会就会更大

So tonight, when it gets to be Cove o'clock, have one last Mac and Cheese then get to work.

所以今晚 到Cove时刻时 吃最后一份奶酪通心粉你就该去努力了

And in the months and years ahead when life isn't all cookie pies, hash brown triangles, and market dogs.

在今后的岁月中当生活不再只是曲奇派 炸薯饼 热狗这些时

Remember keep learning, live courageously.

记住坚持学习 勇敢地生活

Work harder than everyone else and if you do the fruits of your labor will be as plentiful and bountiful as Gourdzilla.

比其他所有人都更加努力 这样做的话你们劳动的果实会像Gourdzilla一样丰硕

Congratulations to all of you, and good luck in life

祝贺你们所有人 预祝你们人生顺利
