You are also privileged young men. And if you weren’t privileged when you came here, you are privileged now because you have been here. My advice is: Don’t act like it.
你们也是享有特权的一群年轻人。即使初来此地之时你们并不优人一等,但成为这里的一员,已经使你们比他人享有更多优势。我的建议是,不要表现得高人一等。
怎样不表现得高人一等?他给了一些具体建议:
When you get to your new school, walk up and introduce yourself to the person who is raking the leaves, shoveling the snow or emptying the trash. Learn their name and call them by their name during your time at the school.
当你来到新学校时,见到那些扫落叶、铲雪、倒垃圾的人,便走上前自我介绍,同时记住他们名字。在学校的日子里,记得称呼他们的名字。
给完建议,他还不忘开个小玩笑,因为卡迪根山中学是一所男子中学,所以他说:
You’ve been at a school with just boys. Most of you will be going to a school with girls. I have no advice for you.
你们之前在的学校里只有男孩,现在大多数人都将进入有女生的学校。关于这件事,我就不提建议了。
当时场下观众一片爆笑,罗伯茨也忍不住笑起来……
这篇演讲机智幽默、妙语连珠、提神醒脑。
听多了鸡汤演讲,再来听听这些大实话,绝对让你神清气爽……
