金句频出,“霉霉”纽约大学演讲刷屏!她分享了这些人生“小窍门”~
衣物去霉小窍门:衣物受潮霉变后,晒干时在太阳下撒些漂白粉,可除掉霉味。 #生活技巧# #生活技巧分享# #家庭清洁技巧# #居家卫生保洁技巧#
当地时间5月18日,身穿紫色博士服,涂着标志性红唇的“霉霉”泰勒·斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)现身纽约洋基体育场。这次,她不是要开演唱会,而是被纽约大学授予艺术荣誉博士学位并发表演讲。
Taylor Swift, the prolific US pop singer received an honorary doctorate of fine arts on May 18 from New York University, and also delivered this year's commencement speech at Yankee Stadium.

这位32岁的女歌手曾一度“躺在歌单里“,曾荣获过11座格莱美奖。霉霉高中只读到10年级就逐梦演艺圈了。青少年时期就踏入歌坛,没能拥有一段丰富多彩的大学生活,霉霉心里多少是有点遗憾的。
不过她很大方地在演讲中调侃了一下,因为一直对大学生活有很多幻想,所以在自己的歌曲《Love Story》MV中安排男模特在草坪上看书,而自己作为女主角看一眼就沦陷的情节。

她说刚入行时就听够了各种建议,所以不会给毕业生们“建议”,而是会分享一些自己当初踏上梦想道路时希望知道的“小窍门”。霉霉鼓励大家“拿得起,放得下”、“学会与尴尬共处”等……演讲视频在全网刷屏。

接下来,我们一起来回顾下演讲中的精彩的金句吧~
学会拿得起放得下
“霉霉”说,“生活是沉重的,尤其是当你试图挑起一切重担的时候。成长并进入人生新篇章的重要一课,即是要拿得起、放得下。”
"Life can be heavy, especially if you try to carry it all at once. Part of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life is about catch and release."
“我的意思是,知道什么该抓牢,什么要放手。你无法背负所有的东西前行——所有的怨恨,你前任的所有最新消息,或者学校里曾霸凌你的人,在他叔叔创办的基金公司获得的令人羡慕的升职。决定好什么是你该留下的,其余的就放手吧。”
"What I mean by that is, knowing what things to keep, and what things to release. You can’t carry all things, all grudges, all updates on your ex, all enviable promotions your school bully got at the hedge fund his uncle started. Decide what is yours to hold and let the rest go."
“很多时候,生活中美好的事情都比较轻松,所以我们可以把更多的空间留给它们。相反,一段糟糕的关系就能挤走很多美好而简单的快乐。你自己的生活由你自己做主,要做一个有辨识力的人。”
"Oftentimes the good things in your life are lighter anyway, so there's more room for them. One toxic relationship can outweigh so many wonderful, simple joys. You get to pick what your life has time and room for. Be discerning."
学会与尴尬共处
“霉霉”的第二个小窍门是,学会与尴尬共处。她表示,感到尴尬、窘迫是生活中不可避免的事情,所以不要费劲去避免它。
“学会与尴尬共处,无论你多么努力地避免陷入尴尬境地,当你回首往事,尴尬还是会找上门来。
"Learn to live alongside cringe. No matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively."
人的一生中总难免尴尬。甚至“尴尬”这个词,未来也可能变成令人尴尬的用语。
"Cringe is unavoidable over a lifetime. Even the term ‘cringe’ might someday be deemed ‘cringe.’"
我保证,你现在可能就正在做一些事,或者穿着一些衣服,以后回想起来会让自己觉得讨厌又好笑。既然无法避免,那就不要费劲去避免它。
"I promise you, you’re probably doing or wearing something right now that you will look back on later and find revolting and hilarious. You can’t avoid it, so don’t try to. "
不要害怕犯错
失去不仅仅是失去
“霉霉”回顾自己年少成名的经历,提到她时常被要求做一个完美的青年偶像,仿佛只要有一步踏错,她就会葬送掉自己的美好生活。
“我的一切行为都围绕着这样一个想法:犯错等于失败,也将最终失去任何过上幸福或者愉快人生的机会。”
"It was all centered around the idea that mistakes equal failure and ultimately, the loss of any chance at a happy or rewarding life."
但“霉霉”表示,事实并非如此。
“我的经验告诉我,我所犯下的错误带来了我生命中最美好的事物。因为搞砸一件事而感到尴尬,是人之常情。能够跌倒了就站起来,掸去身上的灰尘,看看还有谁仍陪伴在你身边,然后一笑了之,这是命运的馈赠。”
"My experience has been that my mistakes led to the best things in my life. And being embarrassed when you mess up is part of the human experience. Getting back up, dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it? That’s a gift."
她告诉大家,虽然人生中犯下的错误,可能会让你失去一些东西,但同时也可以让你有所收获:
“在你的人生中,你难免会说错话,相信错误的人,反应太慢、反应过度,伤害不该被伤害的人,思虑过多、掉以轻心、自暴自弃、幻想一个以你自己为中心的世界,毁掉自己和他人的美好时光,否认过错、不思悔改,感到内疚、任凭内疚侵蚀内心,跌到谷底,终于为你一手造成的痛苦负责,试着下次做得更好,却又重蹈覆辙。”
"In your life, you will inevitably misspeak, trust the wrong person, under-react, overreact, hurt the people who didn’t deserve it, overthink, not think at all, self sabotage, create a reality where only your experience exists, ruin perfectly good moments for yourself and others, deny any wrongdoing, not take the steps to make it right, feel very guilty, let the guilt eat at you, hit rock bottom, finally address the pain you caused, try to do better next time, rinse, repeat. "
“我实话实说,这些错误的确会让你失去一些东西。但我想要你们明白,失去不仅仅是失去。很多时候,我们失去的同时,也会有所收获。”
"And I’m not gonna lie, these mistakes will cause you to lose things. I’m trying to tell you that losing things doesn’t just mean losing. A lot of the time, when we lose things, we gain things too."
“现在你们即将离开学校的条条框框,规划自己的道路。你做的每一个选择,都会导致下一个选择,如此滚雪球般往复不断。该走哪条路是个艰难的抉择。生活中会有一些时候,你需要为自己挺身而出。而有时候,正确的做法是让步和道歉;有时候,正确的做法是抗争到底,有时候,走为上策;有时候,我们需要全力以赴。有时候则是优雅的放手。有时候,正确的做法是为了进步和改革,抛弃老一套。有时候,正确的做法是认真聆听先辈的智慧。”
"Now you leave the structure and framework of school and chart your own path. Every choice you make leads to the next choice which leads to the next, and I know it’s hard to know sometimes which path to take. There will be times in life when you need to stand up for yourself. Times when the right thing is to back down and apologize. Times when the right thing is to fight, times when the right thing is to turn and run. Times to hold on with all you have and times to let go with grace. Sometimes the right thing to do is to throw out the old schools of thought in the name of progress and reform. Sometimes the right thing to do is to listen to the wisdom of those who have come before us."

演讲结尾,“霉霉”告诉了毕业生两个“消息”:
“可怕的消息是:现在你们要靠自己了。但很酷的消息是:现在你们可以靠自己了。”
"The scary news is: You’re on your own now. But the cool news is: You’re on your own now."
最后,她再次提醒大家,犯错误是再正常不过的事情,我们终将会因为它们而变得更加强大。
“我们是由我们的本能,我们的直觉,我们的欲望和恐惧,我们的伤疤和梦想所引导的。困难的事情总会发生在我们身上。我们会走出来,我们会从中吸取经验教训。我们会因此变得更加坚韧。”
"We are led by our gut instincts, our intuition, our desires and fears, our scars and our dreams. Hard things will happen to us. We will recover. We will learn from it. We will grow more resilient because of it."
