娜塔莉波特曼哈佛大学演讲 4

In all seriousness, I believed everyone of them, their bearing and self-confidence alone seemed proof of their prophecy where I couldn't shake my self-doubt.

认真来说,我相信他们每一个人,他们的态度和自信本身就足以证明他们的预言。而我却无法摆脱自我怀疑。

I got in only because I'm famous. This is how others saw me and it was how I saw myself.

我被录取只是因为知名度。这就是别人对我的看法,我自己也是这么看的。

Driven by these insecurities, I decided that I was going to find something to do in Harvard that was serious and meaningful that would change the world and make it a better place.

在不自信的驱使下,我决定要在哈佛找到严肃而有意义的事情来做,以此改变世界,让世界变得更美好。

So freshman fall, I decided to take neurobiology and advanced modern Hebrew literature because I was serious and intellectual.

所以大一秋季我决定修神经生物学和高等现代希伯来文学,因为我很认真,很有智慧。

Needless to say, I should have failed both.

I got Bs, for your information, and to this day, every Sunday I burn a small effigy to the pagan gods of grade inflation.

But as I was fighting my way through Aleph Bet Yod Y'shua in Hebrew and the different mechanisms of neuro-response, I saw friends around me writing papers on sailing and pop culture magazine, and professors teaching classes on fairy tale and matrix.

但当我为了希伯来语课的abc以及神经应答的不同机制而挣扎时,我看到朋友们写关于帆船的论文,写流行文化杂志,看到教授讲童话故事和黑客帝国。

I realized seriousness for seriousness sake was its own kind of trophy, and a dubious one, a pose I sought to counter some half-imagined argument about who I was.

我发现为了严肃而严肃,这本身就是一种虚荣,而且是很模棱两可的,是为了反抗我想象出的自我而采取的一种姿态。

There was a reason I was an actor, I love what I do.

我当演员是有原因的,我爱我的职业。

And I saw from my peers and mentors that that was not only an acceptable reason, it was the best reason.

我从我的同伴和导师身上看到这不只是一个可以接受的理由,这是最棒的理由。
