励志演讲 :直面恐惧(6)
So actually there is a Big Brother. But he's not a malevolent fiction, he's actually all of us and he lives in our search engines. So no matter how many times I do the calculations, I come up with a social job, the positives bounce the negatives, the axis equal the wise, and our hopes weigh as much as our fears, but I hesitated on that last one because fear, good lord, fear is a powerful physiological force in 2011.
所以事实上还是有“老大哥”。但是他不是恶毒的、虚幻的,他就是我们大家,而且他就在我们的搜索引擎里。所以,世界空间是变好还是变坏,不管我怎么算,答案都是它们打成平手。正面和负面的发展彼此抵消、蠢人和聪明人一样多、希望与恐惧两者并存。但是我对后者有些犹豫,因为恐惧,天啊,恐惧是2011年一股非常强大的生理力量。
We here, up in the stands and surrounding your graduation class, look to you as we do every year, hoping you will now somehow, through your labors, free us from what we have come to fear, and we have come to fear many things. Fear has become the commodity that sells as certainly as sex. Fear is cheap. Fear is easy. Fear gets attention. Fear is spread as fast as gossip and is just as glamorous, juicy and profitable. Fear twists facts into fictions that become indistinguishable from ignorance. Fear is a profit-churning go-to with a whole market--being your whole family.
我们站在这里的演讲台上,周围是即将毕业的你们,像每年一样,期待你们会通过你们的努力,让我们不再恐惧,而我们已对许多事情充满恐惧。恐惧成了很好卖的商品,跟性一样。恐惧很廉价,很容易制造,又引人注意。它传播快速、八卦耸动,而且有利可图。它把事实与虚构搅和在一起,让人由于无知而无法辨别。恐惧就是利润的搅拌器,有广泛的市场,也可以进入你的家里。
You're sitting in the house, one day, watching a game on TV not long ago along came a preamble for the local nightly news, "Are our schools poisoning our children?"
某一天,当你在家里看电视的球赛转播,看到了一则当地夜间新闻的预告:“学校是否在毒害我们的小孩?”
That story in summer is hot bikinis at night eleven. In that I had school-age kids, at the time I feared, they were, in fact, being poisoned at school, and summer was a few weeks away. So, I turned in to get to school.
夏天晚上11点时听到那个故事简直让人眼前一亮。因为家里有小孩在上学,我担心孩子们正在学校里受到毒害,而且马上就是夏天了,我特地在当晚收看。
