Taylor Swift全球演唱会演讲
Taylor Swift在全球巡回演唱会上,有一段超励志的致辞。其中一句话很动人——
If you want to change everything, the only way is to change yourself.
你不是别人眼中定义的那个不完美的自己,你是自己内心定义的美好与价值。
Taylor Swift 演唱会致辞双语版
You're seeing all these angles of your own life, and then you compare it to other people's lives. When you don't see what they're going through, you just see the good parts of what they're going through.
你看着自己生活的方方面面,然后拿来和别人的生活作对比。但你并不知道他们实际的经历,只是看到他们生活中光鲜的一面。
When you start to compare yourselves to other people. Please change the channel in your mind to something else. Because I think that when it comes to how we see ourselves, other people are really mean, but we're really mean to ourselves.
当你拿自己和别人做对比的时候,我希望你能把心思放在其他事情上。因为我觉得当我们自我审视的时候,别人的观点是很严苛刻刻薄的,而我们又很重视自我。
And so it's easy to get confused. And when you do get confused, and you start feeling like you're not special,or you're not different, or you have nothing important to say.
两相冲突就会令人困扰。当你倍感困惑的时候,当你觉得自己流于平庸,平平无奇,甚至觉得自己不值一提。
We all feel like that sometimes, but what I want you to do right now is, if there's one thing you remember from tonight, remember what I'm about to say.
人人都会有类似的感受,但我现在希望,如果今夜有什么能刻在你脑海中,我希望你记住我下面说的话。
You need to look into the mirror in the morning, and not tell yourself that you're not special, or you're not good enough, you're not pretty, or you 're not awesome.
你需要每天清晨对镜自视,别说自己平凡无奇。别说自己不够好,自己不够漂亮,也别再说自己一点都不棒。
I'm gonna tell you right now the things you actually are not. These are the things you really are not. You are not the opinion of somebody who doesn't know you. You are not damaged goods just because you made mistakes in your life. You are not going nowhere just because you haven't gotten where you want to go yet.
我现在告诉你,你不是这样子的。这真的不是你。不了解你的人,他们说的根本不是真实的你。你犯下的错,并不会毁掉你。尚无目标,并不意味这你的未来渺茫。
Those are the things you actually are not. Now, I want to tell you what you are. You are your own definition of beautiful and worthwhile, that's what you are. You are someone who is wiser because you made mistakes, not damaged, wiser.
这不是真实的你。现在我要告诉你,你是是怎样的人。是你自己定义了你的美丽和价值,这才是你。你是因犯错而愈加理智的人,而不是被毁掉的人,是更加理智。
You are somebody who could be at this moment, right now, sitting there, there, there. You are going through whatever you're going through in your life, that’s stressing you out, or confusing you ,or making you upset. But you got out of bed and put on an awesome outfit, and you came to a concert, and now we're all having the best time ever on a Wednesday night.
你生活在当下,就现在,坐在台下这边,那边,还有那边的。你历经生活中的种种,就算它们令你倍感压力,令你困惑,或者令你沮丧。但你清早起床,好好打扮,来看这演唱会,又能和我们一起享受这最美好的星期三夜晚。
You know it's not about perfection, it's about just getting on with things sometimes, you have just to get credit for getting up and going on with things. You don't have to do it perfectly. And I think that we mistake our mistakes for damage, and we think other people were judge us for them. But I want you to know the way that I see mistakes, They don't make damaged, they make you clean.
你知道,这无关完美,而是在某些时候去大方应对,有时你还会因积极应对而获得称赞。你没有必要事尽完美。我觉得我们误以为错误会毁掉自己,我们生怕别人借此评头论足。但我想让你知道,我是如何看待过错的,错误不会毁掉你,而是让你透彻清净。
