拉里佩奇演讲稿 篇1
2009届的同学们,首先我希望大家都站起来,向支持你们的亲朋好友挥手致意!我相信你们都能在人群中找到他们,把你们的爱表现出来吧!
很久以前,1962年的寒冷9月,这座校园里有一家史蒂文消费合作社。此合作社有一间厨房,那里的天花板由学生志愿者打扫,大概每十来年才一次吧。想象一下,画面上有位名叫格洛里亚的女大学生,爬上了高高的梯子,努力地打扫那脏兮兮的天花板。一位名叫卡尔的寄宿生站在地上,为该情景钦佩不已。这就是他俩的初次邂逅。他俩就是我的父母亲。所以我想你们会说,我就是这里——密歇根大学那个“厨房化学实验”的直接成果。
我们家的所有成员都毕业于密歇根大学:我哥哥、我妈妈和爸爸——我们全家。我的祖父在密歇根州弗林特的雪佛兰汽车工厂工作,他是装配线上的一名工人。他曾开车把两个孩子送到安娜堡这儿,并告诉他们:这是你们今后要上的大学。我知道现在听起来很好笑。他的两个孩子也的确从密歇根大学毕业。这就是“美国梦”。
我想告诉大家的是,来这儿对我的意义绝对不仅仅是重回旧地。我有个关于追寻梦想的故事,或者更确切地说,这是一个找到梦想成真之路的故事。
你们知道,午夜从一个逼真的梦境中醒来是什么感觉吗?你们知道如果床边没有纸笔,而第二天一早就忘个精光又会怎样吗?
喔,我23岁的时候,就做过一个那样的梦。我猛然惊醒,想着:如果我们能把整个网络下载下来,但仅保存链接会怎样?然后我抓起一支笔写了起来。有时候别做梦,及时醒来是非常重要的。我花了一个午夜描画出细节,并确信那是可以做得到的。不久后,我告诉我的导师特里·温诺格拉德,那要花几周时间来下载整个网络——他只是会意地点点头,他完全知道要花的时间其实长得多,但他很睿智,并没有告诉我。年轻人的乐观精神通常不可低估!令人惊讶的是,我当时没有想过要造一个搜索引擎。这一概念甚至没有进入我脑海。但很久以后,我们突然找到更好排列网页的方法,并造出一个非常好的搜索引擎——谷歌就这样诞生了。当伟大的梦想闪现时,抓住它吧!
我在密歇根大学上学时,其实就学过如何实现梦想。我知道这听起来很可笑,但那是我从一个由夏令营转化而来的名为“塑造领袖”的培训项目中学到的。该项目的口号就是“理性地藐视不可能”。那个项目激励着我追寻那时一个疯狂的想法:我想在校园内建立一套个人快速交通系统以代替公交。我直到现在还在思考很多有关交通的问题—你永不要放走梦想,而要把它当作一种习惯去培育。现在人们花很大力气干的很多事情,如做饭、清洁、驾驶,以后只会占用人们更少的时间。也就是说,如果我们“理性地藐视不可能”,并确实找到新的解决方案的话。
我认为,通常追寻雄心万丈的梦想更容易些。我知道这听起来完全是一派胡言。不过,既然没有别的人疯狂到会做这件事情,你就没有竞争对手了。优秀的人爱接受大挑战。这就是在谷歌发生的事情。我们的目标就是组合全球的信息,使其随手可得,随处可用。那怎么能不让大家兴奋呢?但是我们那时几乎启动不成谷歌,因为我和联合创始人谢尔盖都太担心拿不到博士学位。要是你觉得自己是暴风雨下人行道上的一条蚯蚓,那很可能你就真的走对路了。那就是我们刷爆了三张信用卡,从一辆货车的车尾买来硬盘后的感觉。那就是谷歌最早的硬件设备。家长和朋友们:多点信用卡总是有用的。如何用一句话总结你该如何改变世界?那就是在那些让人极度兴奋的事情上发奋努力。
当我在读博士的时候,其实我有三个项目是想做的。谢天谢地,我的导师对我说,“为什么你不先做一会网络的事呢?”科技,尤其是因特网真的能让人变懒。变懒?我的意思是一个三人的小组可以写出让数百万人喜爱使用的软件程序。但三个人可以接上百万次电话吗?找到撬起地球的杠杆,你就能真的懒起来。
总而言之,我知道这个世界看起来分崩离析,但这确是你们人生中一个伟大的时代,你们可以疯狂一点,追随自己的好奇心,雄心勃勃地实现它。不要放弃你们的梦想。世界需要你们所有人。
以下是我要说的最后一个故事:
就像今天的某一日,你们可能感到欣喜若狂,就像你刚从马戏团的大炮口被射了出来——甚至更加所向无敌。绝不要忘了那种难以名状的美妙感觉,但同时,也要永远记住和亲朋好友相聚的时刻,记住我们得做些可能会为世界带来巨变的事情的机会,或者只是为你所爱的人带来小变化的机会——所有生活给予我们美
好机会,也能将它们带走。世事瞬息万变,比你设想的要快得多。
1996年3月下旬,就在我到斯坦福上研究生院不久,我爸爸呼吸出现困难,被送到医院。两个月后,他去世了。我当时几近崩溃了。许多年以后,在我重新振作后,在我谈恋爱后,在我体验了如此多的人生经历后,我发现自己总是想起我的爸爸。
如果我爸爸能活到今天,我想他最开心的莫过于看到露西和我即将拥有自己的孩子。如果他今天也能来到这里,噢,那将会是他人生中最美好的日子
之一。
我们中很多人都很幸运,能够在这里和家人们一起。我们中的一些还可以和亲友家人一起回家。请和他们保持亲密,并且记住:他们才是生命中真正至关重要的。
感谢妈妈,感谢露西。
同时,十分感谢大家。
Class of 2009!First I’d like you to stand up, and wave and cheer your supportive family and friends!I’m sure you can find them out there.Show your love!
A long time ago, in this cold September of 1962, there was a Steven’s 1)co-op at this very university.That co-op had a kitchen with a ceiling that had been cleaned by student volunteers probably every decade or so.Picture a college girl named Gloria, climbing up high on a ladder, struggling to clean that
2)filthy ceiling.Standing on the floor, a young 3)boarder named Carl was admiring the view.And that’s how they met.They were my parents, so I suppose you could say I’m a direct result of that kitchen chemistry experiment, right here at Michigan.Everyone in my family went here to Michigan: my brother, my Mom, my Dad—all of us.My father’s father worked in the Chevy plant in Flint, Michigan.He was an assembly line worker.He drove his two children here to Ann Arbor, and told them: That is where you’re going to college.I know it sounds funny now.Both of his kids actually did graduate from Michigan.That was the American dream.What I’m trying to tell you, this is WAY more than a homecoming for me.I have a story about following dreams.Or maybe more accurately, it’s a story about finding a path to make those dreams real.You know what it’s like to wake up in the middle of the night with a vivid dream? And you know how, if you don’t have a pencil and 4)pad by the bed, it will be completely gone by the next morning?
Well, I had one of those dreams when I was 23.When I suddenly woke up, I was thinking: What if we could download the whole web, and just keep the links? And I grabbed a pen and started writing!Sometimes it’s important to wake up and stop dreaming.I spent the middle of that night 5)scribbling out the details and convincing myself it would work.Soon after, I told my advisor, Terry Winograd, it would take a couple of weeks for me to download the web—he nodded knowingly, fully aware it would take much longer but wise enough not to tell me.The 6)optimism of youth is often underrated!Amazingly, at that time, I have no thoughts building a search engine.The idea wasn’t even on the radar.But, much later we happened upon a better way of ranking and we made a really great search engine, and Google was born.When a really great dream shows up, grab it!
When I was here at Michigan, I had actually been taught how to make dreams real!I know it sounds funny, but that is what I learned in a summer camp 7)converted into a training program called Leadershape.Their slogan is to have a “healthy disregard for the impossible”.That program encouraged me to pursue a crazy idea at the time: I wanted to build a personal rapid transit system on campus to replace the buses.I still think a lot about transportation—you never loose a dream, it just 8)incubates as a hobby.Many things people labor hard to do now, like cooking, cleaning, and driving will require much less human time in the future.That is, if we “have a healthy disregard for the impossible” and actually build the solutions.I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams.I know that sounds completely nuts.But, since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you’ll have little competition.The best people want to work on the big challenges.That is what happened with Google.Our mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally 9)accessible and useful.How can that not get you excited? But we almost didn’t start Google, actually, because my co-founder Sergey and I were too worried about dropping out of the Ph.D.program.You are probably on the right track if you feel like a sidewalk worm during a rainstorm!That is about how we felt after we maxed out three credit cards buying hard disks off the back of a truck.That was actually the first hardware for Google.Parents and friends: more credit cards always help.What is the one sentence summary of how you change the world? Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!
As a Ph.D.student, I actually had three projects I wanted to work on.Thank goodness my advisor said, “Why don’t you work on the web for a while?” Technology and especially the Internet can really help you be lazy.Lazy? What I mean is a group of three people can write software that then millions can use and enjoy.Can three people answer the phone a million times? Find the
10)leverage in the world, so you can be truly lazy!
Overall, I know it seems like the world is
11)crumbling out there, but it is actually a great time in your life to get a little crazy, follow your curiosity, and be ambitious about it.Don’t give up on your dream.The world needs you all!
So here’s my final story:
On a day like today, you might feel 12)exhilarated—like you’ve just been shot out of a cannon at the circus—and even invincible.Don’t ever forget that incredible feeling.But also: always remember that the moments we have with friends and family, the chances we have to do things that might make a big difference in the world, or even to make a small difference to the ones we love—all those wonderful chances that life gives us, life also takes away.It can happen fast, and a whole lot sooner than you think.In late March 1996, soon after I had moved to Stanford for grad school, my Dad had difficulty breathing and drove to the hospital.Two months later, he died.I was completely 13)devastated.Many years later, after a startup, after falling in love, and after so many of life’s adventures, I found myself thinking about my Dad.If my Dad were alive today, the thing I think he would be most happy about is that Lucy and I have a baby 14)in the hopper.If he were here today, well, it would be one of the best days of his life.Many of us are fortunate enough to be here with family.Some of us have dear friends and family to go home to.Please keep them close and remember: They are what really matters in life.Thanks, Mom;Thanks, Lucy.And thank you, all, very much.
拉里佩奇演讲稿 篇2
联合创始人经常被历史遗忘。史蒂夫·乔布斯在苹果有两位联合创始人,马克·扎克伯格在Facebook有四位联合创始人。
谢尔盖·布林是一位与佩奇截然不同的搭档。他们在斯坦福大学相识,当时布林非常外向和精力充沛,教授们都知道他喜欢不敲门就直接进入办公室。
在佩奇的创业公司发展为国际科技公司的过程中,布林提供了谷歌必需、但佩奇缺乏的外向性格。布林擅长战略和品牌,以及发展谷歌与其他公司的关系。他是佩奇的合作伙伴,最后成为兄长。
尽管谷歌经常被看作是布林和佩奇这两位计算机天才的产物,实际上谷歌是拉里·佩奇的创造物,谢尔盖·布林只是帮手。
佩奇和布林为成立这家公司从好友和家里筹集了100万美元,并从斯坦福大学校园里搬到了租来的车库。
到1999年2月,这家创业公司的发展规模已非车库能容纳,于是搬到了位于加州帕洛艾托一个自行车商店楼上的办公室里。七个月之后,这个办公室的规模也不再够,于是公司又搬到了山景城附近距离高速公路几英里的一个办公园区里一座毫无特征的楼上。
在这座楼外面的一片柏油停车场,有一个黄色警用胶带标识的区域,佩奇、布林和谷歌其他员工在这里玩滑轮曲棍球。他们的游戏是全身体接触,因此员工们都戴着护具,回到办公室的时候一定是汗流浃背,有时候还会有出血和淤肿。“在场上对抗创始人的时候,没有人会收敛一点。”道格拉斯·爱德华兹写道,“你玩得越激烈,赢得的尊重越多。”
在这座褐色大楼内部,游戏要激烈得多。是的,这里为所有员工提供免费食物,以及一位现场按摩治疗师。另外还有色彩明亮的餐厅和沙发,整个区域看起来就像一个幼儿园和大一新生宿舍的混合体。
但是对于佩奇的员工而言,在谷歌工作就像是一场无休止的论文答辩。放眼望去,到处都是饱读圣贤书的人才随时想要与你辩论。佩奇曾经每天与布林进行激烈的争论,这也是他们关系发展的方式。
他们的辩论并不是相互争吵,而是一方陈述观点,然后另一方陈述,很少有打断对方的情况发生。佩奇会说布林的想法很愚蠢,布林则会说佩奇的主意太幼稚。他们相互都会称对方为混蛋。
佩奇从来没有感觉到他与布林的关系因为这些争论而有所恶化,因此他也用同样未经任何修饰的方式与其他谷歌员工进行沟通。佩奇曾经对满屋子的谷歌首批营销员工说,他们的职业就是建立在说谎的基础之上。
佩奇还喜欢用肢体语言来表达想法。如果他的眉毛会上扬,说明他认为你的想法很愚蠢。如果你说了一些让他感觉愤怒或不舒服的话,他会用更加平静的语调回应,而且说话的时候绝对不会看着你。
佩奇因为缺乏社交技能而带来了不好的名声。产品演示时应用程序加载过慢也会令他咆哮如雷。
佩奇鼓励公司高管像他和布林那样相互挑战。在新招聘员工的见面会上,两位联合创始人之一经常会挑起一场关于企业或产品决策的论战。然后他们就静静坐在一边,观看下属们相互之间的争论。只要任何一个论点说到了点子上,佩奇就会说:“我不想再听下去了。就这样做。”
这并不是说他是个专制的统治者,而是说明他与人沟通靠的是想法,而不是感觉。
谷歌早期的人力资源主管希瑟·凯恩斯还记得有一次遇到佩奇在下班后与谷歌清洁工专心致志地聊天。随后她问佩奇,他们如此严肃地都聊了些什么。
他回答说:“我想知道每个人工作的情况。”随后他详细回忆了这位清洁工的方法:把空垃圾袋放到垃圾桶底部,这样就可以方便地更换。“这种方法非常有效。”佩奇肯定地说,“他这样做可以节约时间,我也从中学到了东西。”
在社交上,佩奇就像个孩子。在大学和研究生期间,他能够借外部事物与他人交流:对未来的构想,超酷的技术。在谷歌,他仍然用这个层面的东西与员工交流,却忽略了情感沟通。
在被问及他管理公司的方法时,佩奇曾经对一位谷歌员工介绍说,他解决复杂问题的方法就是将其简化到二选一,然后选择最佳答案。无论此举会带来什么附加损害,他都能接受。
佩奇在获得密歇根州立大学的计算机科学学士学位之后,前往斯坦福大学就读硕士研究生。当时他认为自己需要在学术与创建公司之间二选一。选择前者意味着放弃成为发明家的机会,但创建公司将迫使他以自己不喜欢的方式与诸多人打交道。在谷歌的前几年,他在两个方面都游刃有余:既能开发出数百万人广泛使用的产品,又培养了专注于理念和成果,而非细微情感的人际文化。
多年来,谷歌一直在这种管理方式下繁荣发展。
对于很多员工而言,这种相互竞争的氛围是在一个目标真正明确的公司工作的合理代价。
即便有时候这种环境造成伤害,最后也是有价值的理念获胜。在《In The Plex》一书中,史蒂芬·列维介绍说2000年时谷歌聘请了一位名叫韦斯利·陈的产品经理助理,并指定他负责开发一款名叫谷歌工具栏的产品。
这款产品原本是希望用户无需打开微软IE浏览器就进行搜索,但韦斯利·陈发现没有人使用这项功能,因为它没有任何特别之处。他决定将其转化为一款弹出广告的拦截工具。
在一次会议上,他向佩奇提出了这个想法。“这真是我听过的最愚蠢的想法!”佩奇回答说,“我们从哪把你招来的?”
然而,韦斯利·陈并没有因此而退缩,他悄悄把改进后的工具栏安装到佩奇的电脑上。后来佩奇有一次在会上说他看到的弹出广告变少了,韦斯利·陈才把原因说了出来。于是,这款工具栏正式推出。
佩奇后来总结了他的管理原则:
不要推诿:亲自做事,加快进度。
如果不能增加价值,就不要干涉其中。让那些真正做事的人去相互讨论,你去做其他事情吧。
不要官僚主义。
想法比年龄重要。年龄小并不意味着他不值得尊重与合作。
拉里佩奇演讲稿 篇3
谷歌的故事,举世瞩目。创始人的生活也为人津津乐道。今年5月,拉里·佩奇获邀在母校密歇根大学的毕业典礼上发表演讲。虽然已是成功典范,但拉里并没有夸夸其谈,他用诚挚的语言讲述自己家庭背景和人生经历,告诉大家人生中最宝贵的两样东西—梦想和亲友。

希拉里英语竞选演讲稿 篇4
Im Getting Ready
I’m getting ready for a lot of things. A lot of things.
It’s spring, so we’re starting to get the gardens ready and my tomatoes are legendary here in my own neighborhood.
My daughter is about to start kindergarten next year, and so we’re moving just so she can belong to a better school.
My brother and I are starting our first business.
After five years of raising my children, I am now going back to work.
Every day we’re trying to get more and more ready and more prepared. Baby boy, coming your way.
Right now I’m applying for jobs. It’s a look into what the real world will look like after college.
I’m getting married this summer to someone I really care about.
I’m gonna be in the play and I’m gonna be in a fish costume. From little tiny fishes.
I’m getting ready to retire soon. Retirement means reinventing yourself in many ways.
Well we’ve been doing a lot of home renovations. But, most importantly, we just want to teach our dog to quit eating the trash.
And so we have high hopes for that that’s going to happen.
I’ve started a new career recently. This is a fifth generation company which means a lot to me. This country was founded on hard work and it really feels good to be a part of that.

但我希望你们能记住:
Our campaign was never about one person or even one election。
我们的竞选活动从来就不是关于一个人或者甚至一次选举的。
It was about the country we love and about building an America that’s hopeful,inclusive and big hearted。
它是关于这个我们挚爱的国家的,是关于建立一个充满希望、多样性和包容力的美国的。
We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought。
我们已经看见:我们国家的分裂程度远超我们的想象。
But I still believe in America and I always will。
但我依旧对美国抱有信心,而且我一直会。
And if you do,then we must accept this result and then look to the future。
而如果你也会,你就必须接受这次的结果并放眼未来。
Donald Trump is going to be our president。We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead。
唐纳德·川普将会成为我们的总统。我们应该用开放的思维来接待他,并给他一个领导我们的机会。
Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power。
我们的宪政民主明文记规定了和平的权利转移。
And we don’t just respect that。We cherish it。
我们不光尊重这一点。我们珍视这一点。
It also enshrines other things – the rule of law,the principle that we are all equal in rights and dignity,freedom of worship and expression。
它还规定了其他的一些事——法制、我们所有人都在权利与尊严上平等这一原则,以及信仰与言论自由。
We respect and cherish these values too。And we must defend them。
我们也同样尊重并珍视这些价值观。而且我们必须保护他们。
And let me add,our constitutional democracy demands our participation。Not just every 4 years but all the time。
请容我再补充一点,我们的宪政民主要求我们参与并合作,并不是每4年才一次,而是永远如此。
So let’s do all we can to keep advancing the courses and values we all hold dear,making our economy work for everyone,not just those at the top,protecting our country and protecting our planet and breaking all the barriers that hold any American back from achieving their dreams。
所以让我们所有人都竭尽所能来推行这些我们珍视的价值观吧,来使我们的经济体让所有人——而非上层的少数——都受益,来保护我们的国家并保护我们的星球,并打破所有那些阻碍美国人实现梦想的障壁。
We spent a year and a half bringing together billions of people from every corner of our country to say with onevoice that we believe that the American dream is big enough for everyone,for people of all races and religions,for men and women,for immigrants,for LGBT people and people with disabilities,for everyone。
我们花了一年半的时间,讲数以亿计的人从全国各地汇聚到一起共同发声,这个共同的声音是:美国梦大到足够容纳所有人,无论种族、宗教、男女、性向,也不管你是否是移民或残障人士,所有人都有份。
So now,our responsibility as citizens is to keep doing our part to build that better,stronger,fairer America we seek。
所以,现在,我们作为公民的义务就是继续做好自己分内的事,以此来建立那个我们寻求的更好、更强、更公平的美国。
And I know you will。
而我知道你们会这么做。
I am so grateful to stand with all of you。
我为能和你们并肩而立感到感恩。
I wanna thank Tim Kaine and Ann Holton for being our partners on this journey。
我想感谢提姆·凯恩和安妮·霍顿能在这次旅程中做我的伙伴。
It has been a joy to get to know them better and it gives me great hope and comfort to know that Tim will remain on the front lines of our democracy representing Virginia as a Senator。
能更加深入地认识他们我感到很高兴。而且,当我想到提姆会以弗吉尼亚参议员的身份继续在前线为我们的民主而战的时候,我内心就充满希望与慰藉。
To Barack and Michelle Obama,our country owes you an enormous debt of gratitude。
对于巴拉克和米歇尔·奥巴马夫妇,我们的国家欠你们一个真挚的感谢。
We thank you for your graceful,determined leadership that has meant so much for so many Americans and people across the world。
我们感谢你们优雅而又坚定的领导,这对于美国和全世界的许多人来说都意义重大。
And to Bill and Chelsea,Mark,Charlotte,Aiden,our brothers and our entire family,my love for you is more than I can ever express。
对于比尔和切尔西、马克、夏洛特、艾登、我们的兄弟们和整个家庭,我对你们的爱已经无法用语言表达。
You crisscrossed this country on our behalf and lifted me up when I needed it most even 4-month-old Aiden who traveled with his mom。
你们为了我们奔波于这整个国家,你们在我最需要帮助的时候像我伸出援手,就连4个月大就和妈妈一起奔波的艾登也是。
I will always be grateful to the creative,talented,dedicated men and women at our headquarters in Brooklyn and across our country。
我会永远为我们布鲁克林总部以及全国的那些坚定、有才又富有创造力的人们而心存感激。
You poured your hearts into this campaign。For some of you who are veterans it’s a campaign after you had done other campaigns。Some of you,it was your first campaign。
你们将自己的心血倾注到这次选战当中。对于你们当中的一部分老手来说,这只是许多次选战后的又一场,对另一些来说则是第一次。
I want each of you to know that you are the best campaign anybody could ever expected or wanted。
我想让你们所有人都知道,你们是世上最棒的竞选团队。
And to the millions of volunteers,community leaders,activists and union organizers who knocked down doors,talked to neighbors,posted on facebook,even in secret private facebook sites,I want everybody to come out from behind that and make sure your voices are heard going forward。
而对这数以万计的志愿者、社区领袖、积极分子以及工会组织者,这些挨家挨户窍门拜访、与邻居交谈、在脸书发文——即使是脸书的私密网络——的人,我希望你们所有人都从幕后走出来,并让你们的声音为人所闻。
For everyone that sent in contributions as small as 5 dollars that kept us going,thank you,thank you from all of us。
对所有那些为了让我能够运作而捐款的人,即使你只捐了5美元,感谢你们,我们所有人都感谢你们。
And to the young people in particular,I hope you will hear this。
另外,我尤其希望年轻人能听到我接下来要说的:
I have,as Tim said,spent my entire adult life fighting for what I believe in。
正如提姆所说,我将成年后的时光全都用来为自己的信念而战。
I had successes and I had setbacks,sometimes really painful ones。
我有过成功,也有过失败,其中一些失败非常惨痛。
Many of you are at the beginning of your professional,public and political careers。
你们当中有些人才刚刚开始自己作为专业人士、公共事务工作者和政治人物的职业生涯。
You will have successes and setbacks too。
你们也会有成功与失败的时刻。
This loss hurts。But please never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it。
这次的失败让我们伤得很疼。但请永远不要停止相信:为自己的信念二战是正确的,也是值得的。
It is。It is worth it。
是的,是值得的。
And so we need you to keep up these fights now and the rest of your life。
所以,我们需要你们继续这样的战斗,在现在,以及余生。
And to all the women,and especially the young women,who put their faith in this campaign and in me,I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion。
还有,对于所有的女性,特别是年轻的女性,那些将自己的信仰投注到这次选战以及我身上的女性,我希望你们能知道:对我来说没有比成为你们的榜样更值得骄傲的事了。
Now,I know that we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling,but someday someone will and hopefully sooner than we might think right now。
不过,我知道我们还没能打破那层最高、最硬的天花板,不过总有一天会有人做到,而且这很有可能比我们现在预期的要早。
And to all the little girls who are watching this,never doubt that you’re valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams。
然后,对于所有那些正在观看我讲话的小女孩,请永远不要怀疑自己的价值和力量,你们理应得到世间所有追求梦想的机会。
Finally,finally,I am so grateful for our country and for all it has given to me。
最后的最后,我非常感激我们的国家,感谢它给予的一切。
I count my blessings every single day that I am an American。
我每天对因为身为一个美国人而感到被保佑。
And I still believe as deeply as I ever have that if we stand together and work together with respect for our differences,strength in our convictions and love for this nation our best days are still ahead of us。
而我依旧坚信,正如我一直坚信的那样,只要我们尊重彼此的不同、坚定前进并热爱我们的国家,我们的好日子就会到来。
Because,you know,I believe we are stronger together and we will go forward together。
因为,你们也知道,我相信我们团结起来就会更强,而且我们将团结起来一起前进。
And you should never,ever regret fighting for that。
而我们永远永远不应该对这样的奋斗感到遗憾。
You know,scripture tells us,let us not grow weary in doing good,for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart。
大家都知道,圣经告诉我们,永远不要厌倦做正确的事;因为只要我们不放弃,总有一天我们将迎来丰收。
So my friends,let us have faith in each other,let us not grow weary and lose heart,for there are more seasons to come and there is more work to do。
我的朋友们,让我们不要放弃对彼此的信念,不要厌烦,不要灰心,因为好日子还在等着我们,我们任重道远。
I am incredibly honored and grateful to have had this chance to represent all of you in this consequential election。
我为能代表你们参加这场至关重要的选举而感到荣耀之至、感激涕零。
May God bless you and may God bless the United States of America。
拉里佩奇演讲稿 篇6
Remarks at the 2012 World Food Prize Laureate Announcement Ceremony
By U.S.Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
Thank you.Thank you, all.Thank you.Thank you very much.Thank you.And this is an occasion that we look forward to every year because of the importance of the work that is done to merit such a distinguished prize.And I want to thank you, Jonathan, for leading our efforts here at the State Department and Ambassador Quinn for your continued leadership on behalf of this very pressing issue.谢谢。谢谢大家。谢谢你们!非常感谢。谢谢你们。这是我们每年都盼望的一个时刻,因为我们的工作意义重大,值得颁发这样一个杰出的奖项。乔纳森,我要感谢你在国务院领导这项工作,还要感谢奎因大使在这个紧迫的问题上继续发挥领导作用。
And it’s a wonderful honor to have with us former presidents.Thank you so much, President Kufuor, for your leadership on this incredibly significant issue.And thank you very much, President Chissano, for your leadership as well.We are proud to be partnering with both Ghana and Mozambique.I also want to add my word of welcome to former Congressman Jim Leach, and my friend and colleague Congressman Leonard Boswell.It’s not an accident that they’re from Iowa.(Laughter.)And I’m pleased that we could have with us the representation of the Israeli Embassy.I thank you very much, Charge – Ambassador Binah for being with us.And I want to recognize in absentia John and Janis Ruan, the generous sponsors of the World Food Prize, who were unable to join us here today.今天有两位前任总统在座,我们感到很荣幸,这非常难得。库福尔总统,非常感谢您在这个重大问题上发挥领导作用。希萨诺总统,也十分感谢您所发挥的领导作用。我们很荣幸能与加纳和莫桑比克合作。我也要向前任国会议员吉姆·利奇和我的朋友和同事众议员莱昂纳德·博斯韦尔表示欢迎。他们都来自艾奥瓦州,这并不意外。(笑声)我很高兴,今天在座的还有以色列大使馆的代表。非常感谢您光临,比那大使。我还要感谢今天缺席的约翰和贾尼斯·阮夫妇,他们是世界粮食奖慷慨的赞助人,今天因故不能参加我们的盛会。
Our newest laureate, as Ambassador Quinn just revealed, is a master of applying new thinking to old problems.In that sense, he truly is following in the footsteps of the founder of the World Food Prize, Dr.Norman Borlaug.And I love Jonathan’s ―I love Norman‖ button.You are here because you already know that Dr.Borlaug launched the Green Revolution by examining the chain of events that starts with a farmer planting a seed and ends with a family sitting down to dinner.He looked for ways to improve each step, starting with the seed itself.And Dr.Daniel Hillel turned his attention to another essential link in the agricultural chain: water.正如刚才奎因大使所透露的,我们新的获奖人是一位用新思维解决老问题的高手。从这个意义上说,他是世界粮食奖创始人诺曼·博洛格博士的真正追随者。我喜欢乔纳森那枚―我爱诺曼‖的像章。你们今天到会,因为你们已经知道,博洛格博士研究了从农民播种开始到一家人坐下吃饭为止的整个过程,由此发起了―绿色革命‖。他探索改进每一个环节的方法,从种子本身开始。丹尼尔·希勒尔博士则把注意力转向农业产业链上的另一个关键环节:水。
And water has been a very big topic of concern here in the State Department.Our Assistant Secretary Kerri-Ann Jones is a leader in the area of science and technology and water in particular.And we have tried to focus our government’s attention and the world’s attention on the importance of getting ahead of what will be a devastating water crisis if we are not smarter and more purposeful in addressing the problems now.水在我们国务院一直是一个非常令人关注的主题。凯丽-安·琼斯助理国务卿在科学技术领域——特别是水的领域——是一位领军人物。我们试图使我们的政府和世界聚焦于未来,如果我们现在在水的问题上做法不够明智、目标不够明确,就会发生一场毁灭性的水危机。
So it’s especially fitting, Ambassador Quinn, that we honor today someone who has made such contributions because he understood the critical role that water plays in agriculture and the importance of getting every last drop used efficiently.奎因大使,因此,我们今天嘉奖做出这样贡献的人就特别恰当,因为他了解水在农业中的关键作用以及有效利用每一滴水的重要性。
We use more water for agriculture than for any other human pursuit – more than cooking, cleaning, or manufacturing.It takes roughly a liter of water to produce just one calorie of food – another reason for us all to watch our calories, I guess.(Laughter.)There’s also – you wonder why you’re standing.The latest research shows you burn more calories when you stand.So –(laughter)– we’re doing our part.(Laughter.)But in many regions of the world that so many of you are from or you work in, you know that water is either too scarce or too unpredictable to sustain what we think of as regular agriculture.农业用水超过任何其他用途,包括做饭、保持清洁、制造产品。大约需要1公升的水才能生产1卡路里的粮食——我想这也是我们要减少我们摄取的热量的另一个理由。(笑声)还有——你们可能纳闷为什么让你们站着。最新的研究表明,当你站着的时候,你消耗更多的卡路里。(笑声)——我们尽了我们的力。(笑声)但在你们许多人生活和工作的地区,你们知道,水资源太少或不可预知,不能维持我们所说的正常的农业。
For 40 years, Dr.Hillel has worked to solve this problem by bringing his micro-irrigation techniques to the driest and least hospitable growing climates on earth, from Israel to Pakistan to Sudan.Today, farmers using micro-irrigation produce high-yield, nutritious crops on more than 6 million hectares worldwide.Dr.Hillel’s work will become even more important as we grapple with how to feed the world’s growing population.We know the facts: Nearly a billion people already go to bed hungry every night.By the year 2050, the global population is estimated to reach 9 billion.And according to the latest FAO estimates, the world will need to produce 60 percent more food than we do today to feed everyone.In that same time, the demand for water to grow food will rise by almost 20 percent.But our water supply is finite.So if we’re going to strengthen food security, we have to get more out of each drop.40年来,希勒尔博士一直在努力解决这个问题,把他的微灌技术应用到地球上最干燥和最不适合作物生长的气候带,从以色列到巴基斯坦到苏丹。今天,使用微灌技术的农民在全球超过600万公顷的土地上种植高产、营养丰富的作物。在我们考虑如何养活世界不断增长的人口之际,希勒尔博士的工作将变得更加重要。我们知道的事实是:近10亿人每天晚上饿着肚子上床睡觉。到2050年,全球人口预计将达到90亿。根据粮农组织的最新估计,要让每个人吃饱饭,全球将需要比现在多生产60%以上的粮食。在同一时间,种植粮食对水的需求将增加20%。但是,我们的水资源是有限的。因此,我们如果要加强粮食安全,就必须更好地利用每一滴水。
Now of course, making sure people get enough nutritious food is fundamentally a human, moral concern.But it does have implications for global health and development.When people are undernourished or malnourished, they are more susceptible to illness and disease.Children in particular suffer if they don’t get proper nutrition during the 1,000 days from their mother’s pregnancy through age two.It stunts their growth and diminishes their ability to learn.So when they become adults, their ability to earn a living is limited, which in turn limits their country’s economic prospects.When you multiply this chain of cause and effect by a billion people suffering from chronic hunger, you can see how undernutrition hobbles global economic advancement.当然,确保人们得到充分的营养食品在根本上是一个人道和道德问题。但是,这确实对全球健康和发展有着重大意义。人在营养不足或营养不良时,会更容易生病。如果胎儿和幼儿在从母亲怀孕到满2岁的1000天内得不到适当的营养,他们的健康特别容易受到危害。这会妨碍他们的发育及成长,减弱他们的学习能力,致使他们在长大成人后谋生能力受到限制,进而制约其祖国的经济发展前景。这种因果链再乘以10亿长期遭受饥饿的人口,你们就会看到营养不足将如何阻碍全球经济发展。
Food security is also fundamental to human security.Scarce food resources can lead to panic buying, countries disrupting or even stopping their food trades, and spikes in the price of food.That then can lead to public unrest or violent protests.When nations make competing claims for fertile fields or sources of water, it can also undermine regional stability.But when we strengthen food security and enhance cooperation at the local, national, and regional levels, we create a stronger base for our efforts to promote human development, dignity and security worldwide.粮食安全也是人类安全的根本。粮食资源的匮乏会导致抢购,使各国粮食贸易中断甚至停顿,食品价格飞涨,进而导致公众骚乱或暴力抗议。当各国争夺可耕地或水资源时,也会破坏地区稳定。但是,如果我们增进粮食安全和加强地方、国家和地区各级的合作,我们便能够奠定一个更牢固的基础,努力促进全人类的发展、尊严及安全。
And why don’t – can we help right here and maybe get some water? Thanks, Kerri-Ann.Thanks, Jonathan.I’m going to continue, okay, so that – we’ll tend to this.But we will also continue to address why this is so important and why Dr.Hillel is such an appropriate recipient.我们为什么不——请帮个忙,拿点水来好吗?谢谢,凯丽-安。谢谢,乔纳森。我接着讲,好,那么——让我们来做。但我们要继续探讨这为什么如此重要、以及希勒尔博士为什么是最合适的获奖人。
As Jonathan has said, we have worked over the past three and a half years to put food security on the top of the global development agenda.And our premiere food security initiative, Feed the Future, is focused on spurring innovation and finding ways to do more with less and deliver results to people in need.We’re working with 19 countries in Latin
America, Africa, the Middle East, and East Asia, developing individual plans of action.And we’re doing some interesting and innovative work.如乔纳森所说,在过去3年半里,我们努力把粮食安全列在全球发展议程的首位。我们的首要粮食安全措施―保障未来粮食供给‖重在推动创新,寻找少花钱多办事、为贫困人口提供帮助的途径。我们正在与拉美、非洲、中东及东亚地区的19个国家共同努力,制定各国的行动方案。我们正在进行别开生面的创新。
For example, Feed the Future on the ground in Senegal is working with master farmers enrolled in a training program developed by USAID and the Peace Corps.So farmers are learning better techniques like how to reduce the amount of water soil loses through evaporation, tripling the yield from their corn crops.And through Feed the Future, we’re also making investments in watershed management.We’ve dedicated over $100 million since 2011 to promote water productivity in agricultural development.例如,在塞内加尔,―保障未来粮食供给‖行动计划的人员与参加美国国际开发署与和平队联合培训项目的农民协作,帮助这些农民掌握更好的技术。例如,减少土壤水分蒸发的技术使玉米产量提高到原来的三倍。我们还通过―保障未来粮食供给‖计划对集水区管理进行投资。自2011年以来,我们投入了一亿多美元来提高农业用水效率。
But this work cannot be only the work of scientists and agronomists.It takes political will and leadership at every level.It takes private investors who see the long-term benefits to this.And that’s why the President announced the latest partnership, the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, around the G-8, where we’re working with African leaders to better coordinate our resources and to bring private sector investments into this important work.但是,这项工作不能仅只是科学家和农学家的工作。它需要各级政府表现出政治意愿和发挥领导才能。需要有能够看到这项工作的长期效益的民间投资商。因此,总统在八国集团峰会期间宣布了一项最新伙伴关系计划,即―粮食安全和营养新联盟‖。我们正在与非洲领导人共同努力,更好地协调我们的资源,吸引民营部门对这项重要的工作投资。
And so for me, being able once a year to salute leaders like Dr.Borlaug and the laureate for this year, Dr.Hillel, is the least we can do to recognize those who are truly making a difference.And now it’s our responsibility, and I’m delighted to see these interns from the U.S.Department of Agriculture, because it’s particularly to you that we look to be the leaders of tomorrow here in the United States and across the world to take everything we are learning from science and research, and translate it into results on the ground.因此,对我来说,能够每年一次向博洛格博士和当年的获奖者——包括今年的获奖者希勒尔博士——致意是我们为表彰那些真正作出贡献的人所能够做的最起码的事情。这是我们的责任。我高兴地看到美国农业部的实习生,因为我们特别期待着你们成为美国和世界明天的领袖,把我们从科学研究中学到的知识转化为实际成果。
And the Green Revolution saved as many as a billion people from starvation.It is up to us to make sure we save the next billion.Thank you all very much.(Applause.)
拉里.佩奇:书呆子重掌谷歌 篇7
由于个性低调,很多人对佩奇的了解都仅仅停留在“谷歌创始人之一”,知道他在大学时期与谢尔盖·布林在车库里创造出Google的传奇事迹。如果你问布林或者其他熟悉佩奇的人,大家对他的描述很可能都离不开“书呆子”和“电脑狂人”两个词。
出生犹太家庭的佩奇,父亲是密歇根大学计算机科学教授,母亲是计算机设计老师,受家庭影响,佩奇6岁就开始使用计算机。在密歇根大学读本科时,他曾经用乐高积木组装了一台喷墨打印机。他还是太阳能汽车团队的一名成员,热衷新能源汽车的开发。佩奇是名副其实的书呆子,一家人都喜欢读书,他总是回想起小时候全家到俄勒冈州度假时的情形:空手提箱里塞满了从波特兰著名的鲍威尔书店(Powell Books)购买的图书。
和许多IT名人一样,佩奇也难免有些古怪的性情。在一次晚餐上,当被问及政府应当做的最重要的事情是什么时,他回答道:“殖民火星。”佩奇空闲时候最大的爱好就是在网上搜罗各种新出炉的侦探推理题,如果第二天员工们见他满面红光,即顺畅解题;如果愁眉紧锁,肯定是断了推理思路。
又短又黑的头发、浓黑的眉毛以及早晨刮过傍晚又长出的短胡须,还有一脸的粉刺,让佩奇看起来有点不合群。据称,他“极度鄙视营销和公关”,曾于2008年对谷歌公关部门说,他那年只会拿出8小时时间参加新闻发布会、演讲和采访。当年,他从这仅有的几小时中拿出一部分,成功游说美国联邦通讯委员会开放电视频段和高速无线网络频段之间的“空余空间”。
对于佩奇的感情生活,除了很久之前疯狂追求过硅谷头号美女玛丽莎·梅耶尔之外,他似乎再也没有别的绯闻。直到2007年年底结婚时,许多人都为之一惊,因为他和新娘交往才一年。赢得这位钻石王老五真心的是一名叫卢露西·索斯沃斯的27岁女孩,她是斯坦福大学生物医学博士生——看来佩奇一如既往地喜欢金发碧眼的理科高材生。出席这次私密奢华婚礼的宾客非富则贵,大部分宾客都是独自乘坐私人飞机飞往婚礼举行地点。应邀参加佩奇婚礼的还包括美国前副总统戈尔,但因为要前往挪威领取诺贝尔和平奖而无法出席。

他喜欢的
内克岛(Neck)—— 这个位于加勒比海的小岛是佩奇举办婚礼的地点。该岛归维京集团CEO、亿万富翁理查德·布兰森所有,这位老顽童还担任了佩奇的伴郎。Neck岛是布兰森上世纪70年代购入的,面积74英亩,当时才花了20万美元。岛上共有14间别墅,是富翁们的度假天堂,现在每晚租金高达4.6万美元。
豪华游艇——去年年底,佩奇花了4500万美元购置了一艘超豪华游艇,名为“Senses”(感觉号)。Senses长193英尺,错层式甲板保证阳光充足,并有两个直升机停机坪。游艇内有由法国著名设计师菲利普·史塔克精心打造的餐厅以及健身房和按摩浴缸。
