MERYL STREEP为 Barnard女子大学 2010毕业生演讲Thank you, all. Thank you, President Spar, Ms. Golden, President Tilghman, Members of the Board of Trustees, distinguished faculty, proud swelling parents and family, and gorgeous class of 2010. If you are all really, really lucky, and if you continue to work super hard, and you remember your thank you notes and everybodys name; and you follow through on every task thats asked of you and also somehow anticipate problems before they even arise and you somehow sidestep disaster and score big. 谢谢你们，撒皮尔主席，戈登女士，迪格曼主席，董事会的全体成员，尊敬的老师们，高兴的家长们，和了不起的 2010届。如果你们足够幸运，坚持非常努力的工作，并且记住感谢信上每个人的名字，努力完成每项交给你的任务，并且，能够在发生问题之前就提前预料到，并且能够及时避免，那么你就能够避开灾难并且能够成功。If you get great scores on your LSATS, or MSATS, or ERSATS or whatever. And you get into your dream grad school or internship which leads to a super job with a paycheck commensurate with responsibilities of leadership or if you somehow get that documentary on a shoe-string budget and it gets accepted at Sundance and maybe it wins Sundance and then you go on to be nominated for an Oscar and then you win the Oscar. Or if that money-making website that you designed with your friends somehow suddenly attracts investors and advertisers and becomes the go-to site for whatever it is youre selling, blogging, sharing, or net-casting and success shinning, hoped-for but never really anticipated success comes your way I guarantee you someone you know or love come to you and say, Will you address the graduates at my college? And youll say Yeah sure, when is it? May 2010? 2010? Yeah sure, thats months away and then the nightmare begins. The nightmare weve all had and I assure you, youll continue to have even after graduation, 40 years after graduation. About a week before the due date, you wake up in the middle of the night, Huh, I have a paper due and I havent done the reading, Oh my god!如果你在在法学院入学考试，医学院入学考试，以及其他的入学考试中取得很好的成绩，并且进入了你们理想的研究院，或者，获得了某个带薪的领导岗位的实习工作，或者，你用微型贷款拍摄的纪录片入选了圣丹斯电影节，并且得了奖，然后得到奥斯卡提名，并且赢得了奥斯卡奖。又或者，你和朋友设计的盈利性网站被某个投资人或者广告人看中，成为热门网站，不论这个网站是做生意，写博客，分享，做的很成功，你曾经暗自希望过，但从没指望过真的会实现，我向你保证，你认识或者爱戴的某人会来找你说：“能帮我给毕业生做个演讲么？” 你回答说：“当然，什么时候，2010 年 5月？2010？是的，还有好几个月呢！”然后这就是噩梦的开始。我们都做噩梦，我向你保证，就算你毕业已经从学校毕业四十年，你仍会做噩梦。大约约定日期前一周，某天半夜，你突然惊醒说：“哦！我有个报告但是我还没有读书呢！哦，我的天哪！”If you have been touched by the success fairy, people think you know why. People think success breeds enlightenment and you are duty bound to spread it around like manure, fertilize those young minds, let them in on the secret, what is it that you know that no one else knows, the self examination begins, one looks inward, one opens an interior door. Cobwebs, black, the lights bulbs burned out, the airless dank refrigerator of an insanely over-scheduled, unexamined life that usually just gets take-out. Where is my writer friend, Anna Quindlen when I need her? On another book tour.如果你已经是成功一族，人们以为你知道原因。人们认为你有义务，传播它，为年轻的思想播种施肥，让他们也知道成功的秘密，什么是你知道而别人不知道的，你开始自我反思，一个人审视自我，打开通往内心之门。像黑色蜘蛛网，灯泡也坏掉了，潮湿闷热的冰箱，不经考虑，过度安排的时间表，吃外卖的生活一切都是一团糟。在我需要的时候，我的作家朋友安娜昆得仑哪里去了？她在进行另一次写作旅行。Hello Im Meryl Streep, and today, Class of 2010 and I am really, I am very honored, and humbled to be asked to pass on tips and inspiration to you for achieving success in this next part of your lives. President Spar, when I consider the other distinguished medal recipients and venerable Board of Trustees, the many accomplished faculty and family members, people whove actually done things, produced things, while I have pretended to do things, I can think about 3,800 people who should have been on this list before me and you know since my success has depended wholly on putting things over on people. So Im not sure parents think Im that great a role model anyway.你们好，我是梅丽尔斯特里普，今天我很荣幸，能给 2010届的毕业生们讲一些关于关于成功小提示和鼓励。这是我个人的体会，希望能在你们人生的下一个阶段，也就是毕业后，给你们一些启示。撒皮尔主席，当我想到其他的尊敬的受奖者以及可敬的董事会成员们，许多功成名就的教工及其家属，那些真正做了实事，创造了的人们，而我，只是假装做了些事情，我可以想到 3800人比我更合适，你也知道，我的成功完全依赖于人们所作的事。所以我不确定家长们是否认为我是个了不起的榜样。I am however an expert in pretending to be an expert in various areas, so just randomly like everything else in this speech, I am or I was an expert in kissing on stage and on screen. How did I prepare for this? Well most of my preparation took place in my suburban high school or rather behind my suburban high school in New Jersey. One is obliged to do great deal of kissing in my line of work. Air kissing, ass-kissing, kissing up and of course actual kissing, much like hookers, actors have to do it with people we may not like or even know. We may have to do it with friends, which, believe it or not is particularly awkward, for people of my generation, its awkward.但我却是个善于在很多领域假装专家的专家。所以就像这篇演讲稍后将提到的其他事物一样，我是或者曾是个在舞台或银幕上接吻的专家。我是怎么准备的？好吧，很多准备工作是在新泽西州我的郊区高中或者在学校后面的某个角落完成的。其一受益于我在我工作的过程中有大量的亲吻。飞吻，回吻，等等，当然都是真实的吻，感觉像个妓女，因为演员的工作就是不得不和我们不喜欢甚至不认识的人接吻。你也许得亲吻朋友，不管你信不信，尤其尴尬，对我们这代人来说，很尴尬。My other areas of faux expertise, river rafting, miming the effects of radiation poisoning, knowing which shoes go with which bag, coffee plantation, Turkish, Polish, Ge
