大學生英語演講稿(大學生英語演講稿各種主題范文)

優秀的人，把自己活成了一束光！

美國時間2022年5月18日，紐約大學舉行畢業典禮，被紐約大學授予美術榮譽博士的Taylor Swift發表了振奮人心的演講，以后霉霉就是“Dr. Swift”啦！

以下為演講稿的中英文對照版：

Hi, I’m Taylor.

嗨，我是泰勒。

Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard. This outfit is much more comfortable.

上次我出現在這么大的體育場時，我還是在（演唱會上）穿閃光緊身衣踏著高跟鞋跳舞的時候。現在，這套衣服，可真舒服多了。

I’d like to say a huge thank you to NYU‘s Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Bill Berkeley and all the trustees and members of the board, NYU’s President Andrew Hamilton, Provost Katherine Fleming, and the faculty and alumni here today who have made this day possible. I feel so proud to share this day with my fellow honorees Susan Hockfield and Felix Matos Rodriguez, who humble me with the ways they improve our world with their work. As for me, I’m…90% sure the main reason I’m here is becau I have a song called ‘22.’ And let me just say, I am elated to be here with you today as we celebrate and graduate New York University’s Class of 2022.

我想對紐約大學董事會主席比爾·伯克利和所有董事會成員、紐約大學校長安德魯·漢密爾頓、教務長凱瑟琳·弗萊明，以及今天在座的教師和校友們表示衷心的感謝，是他們讓這一天成為可能。能與同為獲獎者的蘇珊·霍克菲爾德和菲利克斯·馬托斯·羅德里格斯分享這一天，我感到非常自豪。他們用自己的工作改善了我們的世界，讓我感到謙卑。至于我，我90%確信我在這里的主要原因是我有一首歌叫《22》。而我想說的是，我很高興今天能和大家一起慶祝，從紐約大學2022屆畢業。

Not a single one of us here today has done it alone. We are each a patchwork quilt of tho who have loved us, tho who have believed in our futures, tho who showed us empathy and kindness or told us the truth even when it wasn’t easy to hear.Tho who told us we could do it when there was absolutely no proof of that.

今天在座的，沒有一個人從這里畢業，完全只是依靠自己。我們每個人都是由那些愛過我們的人、那些相信我們未來的人、那些向我們展示同情心和善意的人或在我們并不容易聽到時告訴我們真相的人拼湊而成的。那些在完全沒有把握的情況下，告訴我們我們可以做到的人。

Someone read stories to you and taught you to dream and offered up some moral code of right and wrong for you to try and live by. Someone tried their best to explain every concept in this insanely complex world to the child that was you, as you asked a bazillion questions like ‘how does the moon work’ and ‘why can we eat salad but not grass.’ And maybe they didn’t do it perfectly. No one ever can. Maybe they aren’t with us anymore, and in that ca I hope you’ll remember them today. If they are here in this stadium, I hope you’ll find your own way to express your gratitude for all the steps and missteps that have led us to this common destination.

有些人給你讀故事，教你做夢，為你提供一些正確或錯誤的道德標準去努力生活。有些人盡力向你這個孩子解釋這個瘋狂復雜的世界的每一個概念，因為你問了無數個問題，比如“月亮是如何轉動的”和“為什么我們可以吃沙拉而不是在吃草”。也許他們做得并不完美，但沒有人能夠做得完美。也許他們已經不在我們身邊，在這種情況下，我希望你們今天能記住他們。如果他們在這個體育場，我希望你能找到自己的方式來表達你的感激之情，感激為實現這一共同目標而經歷的好與壞。

I never got to have the normal college experience, per . I went to public high school until tenth grade and finished my education doing homeschool work on the floors of airport terminals. Then I went out on the road on a radio tour, which sounds incredibly glamorous but in reality it consisted of a rental car, motels, and my mom and I pretending to have loud mother daughter fights with each other during boarding so no one would want the empty at between us on Southwest.

我之前從未有過正常的大學經歷。我在公立高中讀到十年級，在機場航站樓的地板上完成了我的學業。在那之后，我開始了一場公路的巡回演出。這聽起來非常迷人，但實際上這場巡演只是由租來的汽車和汽車旅館，還有在登機時，為了不讓人想要坐在我和我媽媽兩側的空座位，我們母女會在登機時假裝互相大聲爭吵的片段所組成。

As a kid, I always thought I would go away to college, imagining the posters I’d hang on the wall of my freshmen dorm. I even t the ending of my music video for my song “Love Story” at my fantasy imaginary college, where I meet a male model reading a book on the grass and with one single glance, we realize we had been in love in our past lives. Which is exactly what you guys all experienced at some point in the last 4 years, right?

小時候，我一直想著自己會上大學，思考著該在大學新生宿舍墻上貼哪些張海報。我甚至把我夢想中的大學生活拍攝成了“Love Story”MV的結尾，在那里，我遇到了一位在青青草地上看書的男模特，只一眼，就意識到我們曾相愛過。這些，應該都是你們過去四年中大學生活的某個片段吧。

But I really can’t complain about not having a normal college experience to you becau you went to NYU during a global pandemic, being esntially locked into your dorms or having to do class over Zoom. Everyone in college during normal times stress about test scores, but on top of that you also had to pass like a thousand COVID tests. I imagine the idea of a normal college experience was all you wanted too.But in this ca you and I both learned that you don’t always get all the things in the bag that you lected from the menu in the delivery rvice that is life. You get what you get.And as I would like to say to you, you should be very proud of what you’ve done with it. Today you leave New York University and then you go out into the world arching for what’s next. And so will I.

但我真的不能抱怨沒有正常大學經歷的你們，因為你們在全球疫情期間上的紐約大學，基本上被隔離在宿舍里，或者不得不在Zoom上網課。在正常的情況下，每位大學生都焦慮著他們的學業成績，但你們卻還要通過上千次核酸檢測。我覺得，你們也渴望能夠擁有正常的大學經歷。但如今的情況下，我們都清楚，很多時候你難以獲得你所選擇的，這就是生活，你得到的僅僅是你所能夠得到的。正如我想對你們說的，你們應該為自己所做到的一切感到非常自豪。今天你們從紐約大學畢業，走向世界去尋找下一個目標。我也將如此。

So I won’t tell you what to do becau no one likes that.

所以我不會告訴你該怎么做，沒人會喜歡這樣的建議。

I will, however, give you some life hacks I wish I knew when I was starting out my dreams of a career, and navigating life, love, pressure, choices, shame, hope and friendship.

然而，我將給你提供一些，我希望自己在開始職業生涯以及在生活、愛情、壓力、選擇、羞恥、希望和友誼中所希望自己能明白的生活小竅門。

The first of which is…life can be heavy, especially if you try to carry it all at once. Part of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life is about catch and relea.

第一，生活可能是沉重的，尤其是當你試圖背負這一切的時候。成長并進入你生命中新篇章的一部分應該是關于抓住與釋放。

Secondly, learn to live alongside cringe.No matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively. Cringe is unavoidable over a lifetime. Even the term ‘cringe’ might someday be deemed ‘cringe.’

第二，學會與尷尬和難為情并存。無論你多么努力地避免陷入尷尬境地，當回溯以往，一些尷尬和難為情總是伴隨而來。這些在一生中是不可避免的。甚至‘cringe’這個詞有一天也可能被視為是一種難為情。

This has not been my experience. My experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life. And being embarrasd when you mess up is part of the human experience. Getting back up, dusting yourlf off and eing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it? That’s a gift. The times I was told no or wasn’t included, wasn’t chon, didn’t win, didn’t make the cut…looking back, it really feels like tho moments were as important, if not more crucial, than the moments I was told ‘yes.’

這并不是我所想的。我的想法是，我這樣的錯誤往往產生了我生命中最美好的事物。當我們搞砸某事而感到尷尬這是情理之中的，大部分人都會這樣。我們應該做的是重新站起來，振作起來，當作是一個機會，去看看出糗之后誰還愿意和我一起玩，并一起經歷酸甜苦辣。當我被拒絕、或者沒有被包括在內、沒有被選中、輸了、失敗的時候……回過頭看看，真的感覺被否定與我被肯定的時刻一樣重要，甚至更重要。

Having journalists write in-depth, oftentimes critical, pieces about who they perceive me to be made me feel like I was living in some weird simulation,but it also made me look inward to learn about who I actually am.Having the world treat my love life like a spectator sport in which I lo every single game was not a great way to date in my teens and twenties, but it taught me to protect my private life fiercely. Being publicly humiliated over and over again at a young age was excruciatingly painful but it forced me to devalue the ridiculous notion of minute by minute, ever fluctuating social relevance and likability.Getting canceled on the internet and nearly losing my career gave me an excellent knowledge of all the types of wine.

有很多樂評人對我撰寫深入的，經常是批評性的文章，這讓我覺得自己仿佛生活在一種奇怪的假象之中，但也正是這段經歷讓我開始自省與內觀，去了解真正的我到底是什么樣的人。在我十幾二十歲約會的時候，整個世界看我的感情生活就像看球賽一樣，而且我每一場都輸了；但同時，這段經歷卻也教會我如何無畏地保護好我的私生活。年少時無數次地在公眾面前被狠狠地羞辱，雖然讓當時的我非常痛苦，但這也迫使我快速地學會了不要在意那些荒謬可笑的言論，淡然那些忽高忽低的曝光度與路人緣。那次網暴的經歷幾乎毀掉了我的事業，但也讓我成為了一名出色的品酒師。

I’m trying to tell you that losing things doesn’t just mean losing. A lot of the time, when we lo things, we gain things too.

我想告訴大家，失去并不是真正意味著失去。很多時候，當我們失去的同時也會收獲。

How do I give advice to this many people about their life choices? I won’t. Scary news is: you’re on your own now. Cool news is: You’re on your own now.

我該怎么給這么多人的人生選擇提供建議呢？我不會的。壞消息是：你現在要靠自己了。好消息是：你現在要靠自己了。

I leave you with this: We are led by our gut instincts, our intuition, our desires and fears, our scars and our dreams. And you will screw it up sometimes. So will I. And when I do, you will most likely read about on the internet. Anyway…hard things will happen to us. We will recover. We will learn from it. We will grow more resilient becau of it.

最后我想說：我們是被內心深處的本能、直覺、欲望、恐懼、創傷和夢想所引導。有時會搞砸事情，我也一樣。當我淪落到如此地步的時候，你們大概率都已經在互聯網上了解到了。但無論如何，困難的事情都會發生在我們身上，我們也終將走出困境，我們會吸取教訓，也因此變得更有韌性。

As long as we are fortunate enough to be breathing, we will breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out. And I’m a doctor now, so I know how breathing works.

人生就像呼吸一樣，只要我們還幸運地沒有停止呼吸，我們就會氣入，氣滿，氣沉，氣出，循環往復，一切消化。我現在作為一名“doctor”，所以我知道呼吸是如何運作的。

I hope you know how proud I am to share this day with you. We’re doing this together. So let’s just keep dancing like we’re…the class of 22.

我希望你知道我有多驕傲能與你們分享這一天。我們在一起做這件事。所以，讓我們繼續跳舞，就像我們是……22屆的學生。
