励志演讲 :执着于你的梦想(2)
I've heard that it's easing up the restrictions, and it's easier to get a visa. My young Chinese friends, I want to tell you that in case no one from America has ever invited you, let me do this right now personally. I want to warmly invite all of you here to come to the United States, and especially to come to California, becasue that's the happening place. California is the best place.
我听说，限制条件已趋于宽松，获得签证更容易了。年轻的中国朋友们，我想告诉你们，如果美国还没有人邀请你们，那么我现在就以个人名义邀请你们。我想热情地邀请你们所有人到美国，尤其要来加利福尼亚州，因为那里上演着许多传奇。加利福尼亚州是首选之地。
Please come and visit us, we will welcome you. I invite you all to come there and to travel, to meet the American people, and to come there and study in our universities, and some day hopefully you will come and do business over there, or maybe you'll want to move over there. Whatever your goal is, you're always welcome. America, after all, let's not forget, is the land of opportunity. And it's not only the land of opportunity for Austrians like me, but for Chinese people as well. Remember that.
来吧，我们将欢迎你们来访。我邀请在座的各位去那里旅游，去结识美国人民，去我们的大学学习，希望你们有朝一日能在那里做生意，你们或许想要移居那里。无论你们的目的是什么，我们都欢迎你们的到来。不要忘了，美国毕竟充满了机遇，不仅对像我这样的奥地利人是这样，对中国人也是如此。请大家记住这一点。
I know that beginning with this century, China is also becoming a land of opportunity.
我知道自本世纪以来，中国这片大地上也开始充满机遇。
It's a fast growing place, and as the students of this great university and the citizens of a rising China, I think that you have a great future also here in this country.
中国正在快速发展，而你们作为这所出类拔萃的大学的学生，作为这个正在崛起的国家的公民，我相信你们在这个国家也会有一个光辉灿烂的未来。
And today I want to talk to you a little bit about the dreams, about the dreams of your future, and dreams for this country.
今天，我想跟你们谈谈梦想，关于畅想你们未来的梦想，关于中国的梦想。
I want to talk to you a little bit about dreams, because it seems to me that I'm somewhat of an expert in dreams, because I had a lot of my dreams become a reality.
我之所以想跟你们略谈梦想，是因为我觉得自己似乎是这方面的专家，因为我的许多梦想都已经实现。
So let me just briefly tell you my story, and tell you a little bit about how I started with my career. I think that this story kind of relates a little bit also to you, and also to China.
因此，让我简单地讲述一下我的故事，告诉你们我是怎样开始我的职业生涯的。我想这个故事多多少少会对你们甚至对中国有所启示。
