And from then on, I continued. My career took off, and everything that I wanted to do I accomplished. First it was to become a champion in bodybuilding. Later on I became a movie star, to do all the great movies, the Conan movies and the Terminator movies and all this. Then I became the governor of the great state of California, of the sixth largest economy in the world.
從那時起，我不斷努力，我的事業從此飛黃騰達，我實現了自己想做的一切——首先成為健美冠軍，接著成為電影明星，拍所有飛大片，如《柯南》、《終結者》等一系列電影。后來我當上了世界第六大經濟體——加利福利亞州的州長。
All of this happened because of my dreams, even though other people told me that those dreams were bogus and they were crazy, but I held onto my dreams.
這一切實現都是因我的夢想，即使別人說我的那些夢想都是虛假而荒唐的，但是我仍堅持不懈。
And people would always say, no matter what, even in bodybuilding they said I would never make it. And later on in the movies, in Hollywood they said I would not make it. They said, "You will never make it. You have a German accent. No one in Hollywood has ever made it with a German accent. Yeah, maybe you can play some Nazi roles or something like that, but you cannot become a leading star with an accent. Plus your body, you’re overdeveloped, you have all these muscles. They did Hercules movies 20 years ago, that’s outdated. Now it’s Woody Allen. Woody Allen is in, his body is in." And those were the messages. "And Al Pacino, the skinny guy, he is in. But not your body, it’s too big. And your name, Schwarzenegger, it will never fit on a movie poster. Forget it. Forget it, you will never make it. Go back to bodybuilding."
不管做什么，人們總會說我不會成功，在健美事業如此，在好萊塢的電影事業上也是如此。他們曾說，“你絕不可能成功，你一口德國口音。在好萊塢還沒有一個說話帶德國口音的人能成為主角的。扮演一些納粹或類似的角色你倒是可以，但說話帶德國口音的人想成為主角是不可能的。還有你的體形，一身肌肉，太過發達了！20年前他們拍過大力士的影片，不過早就過時了。現在當紅的是伍迪·艾倫。伍迪·艾倫走紅，他的體形也走紅。還有阿爾·帕西諾，那個充滿骨感美的家伙也很走紅。且不說你的體格過大，再聽聽你的名字，施瓦辛格，根本不適合登在電影海報上。算了，算了，你不會成功的。還是回去搞你的健美運動去吧！”
Well, the rest is history. After Terminator 3, I became the highest paid movie star in Hollywood. And let me tell you something, it continued on. Even when I ran for governor people said, "Arnold, you will never make it. You will never become governor of California. What do you know about government?" Well, the fact is, I knew exactly as much about government as the rest of the people knew in California, which is that government is out of touch, and it’s out of sync with the people, and it needed a shakeup. So I didn’t listen to all those people that said I would never make it. I continued campaigning, I listened to my dreams, and the rest also is history. I became governor.
其余的都成了往事。演完《終結者3》之后，我便成了好萊塢片酬最高的影星，但外界的質疑從未中斷過。我競選州長時還有人說，“阿諾德，你不會成功的，你永遠當不上加州州長。你對于政治了解多少？”而事實上，我對政治的了解絕不亞于加利福利亞的其他人，知道政府高高在上、與人民群眾脫離，需要進行改革。我沒把那些說我不能成功的人的話放在心上，我依然參加了競選。我相信自己的夢想，其余的都已成為明日黃花。我最終當上了州長。
