【中英文稿】一分鐘英文演講:Don't take today off
Don't take today off
I remember Joe Rogan said the best advice I have ever heard is to live your life like you're the hero in a movie. Right now is when the movie starts and your life is a disaster, pretend you are right now you're in a movie and it starts and it shows you as a loser, and just decide that you're not going to be a loser anymore.?
我記得喬·羅根說過,我聽過的最好的建議就是像電影里的英雄一樣過自己的生活。現(xiàn)在就是電影要開始的時候,你的生活是一場災難,電影開始,假裝你現(xiàn)在就活在這部影片之中,現(xiàn)在你是一個失敗者,但你下定決心你不再做失敗者。
?
Live your life like there's a documentary crew following you around, and there are millions of people watching and analyzing your behavior. Do what you would want to do so that your kids one day would look back at it, and see that documentary, and look at it with pride, and think wow my dad was a badass. He really did what he had to do. Wow, my mom really got her life together, I love a success story, but even more than a success story, I love a guy that messes his life up, then gets it back together again story.?
你要好好生活,就像有一個紀錄片小組在你身邊跟蹤你一樣,同時有數(shù)以百萬計的人在觀察和分析你的行為。做你想做的事,這樣有一天你的孩子們看到那部紀錄片,回顧你的一生時,他們會驕傲地看著它,并且會想:哇,我爸爸是厲害,他真的做到了他必須做的事。哇,我媽媽把生活經營得真好。我喜歡成功的故事,但相比成功的故事,我更喜歡一個活得一團糟的人,后來又讓生活重回正軌的勵志故事。

In those days when you're tired and worn out, and just sick of studying, what do you do on those days, just get it done, even if it's just going through the motions, you go through the motions, you don't want to read your textbook, you read your textbook. Don't really want to get up and get out of bed, then get up and get out of bed, you are the only person stopping you from achieving, don't take today off, not today.?
當你累了,精疲力竭,并且厭倦學習的時候,你該怎么做呢?去把事情完成,即便你只是想做做樣子,那你也要把樣子做好;你不想讀書,那你就去把書讀完;如果你想要賴床,那就起床,然后下床。你是唯一能夠阻止你實現(xiàn)目標的人。請不要讓今天溜走,現(xiàn)在還不是休息的時候。
