Tulane University Commencement Address Ellen DeGeneres May, 2009
艾倫風趣自然的風格似乎與生俱來,她在杜蘭大學的演講延續了自己的幽默風格,艾倫拆分了 commencement,在“笑果”十足的短短演說中透漏了自己艱辛的成長歷程,讓人從中受到很大鼓舞,她還給畢業生們以誠懇的建議,讓畢業生收益匪淺。
And really when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing. I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. And ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place. I don't live in fear. I'm free. I have no secrets. And I know I'll always be OK, because no matter what, I know who I am.
當我回首這些往事的時候,我一點也不會改變。因為我發現,即使失去一切,最重要的是做真正的自己。最終,我來到了這里。我不再恐懼,我感覺很自在,也不再有秘密,而且我知道一切都會好的,因為無論如何,我知道我是誰。
