【中英文稿】一分钟英文演讲:Stand out from the crowd
【注:贝索斯是亚马逊创始人】
As Jeff Bezos said, we know from our past experiences that big things start small, the biggest oak starts from an acorn, and you've got to be willing to let that little acorn grow into a little sapling, and then into a small tree, and maybe one day it'll be a huge oak tree standing on its own.
杰夫·贝佐斯说:“我们从过去的经验中知道,大的东西从小长起来的,最大的橡树也要从橡子开始,你必须要让小橡子长成小树苗,然后长成小树,也许有一天它会成为一棵独自屹立的巨大橡树。”
You can't skip steps, you've got to put one foot in front of the other, things take time, there are no shortcuts, but you need to take those steps with passion and ferocity.
你不能跳过这些步骤,必须要一步一个脚印。事情发展是需要时间的,万事没有捷径,但是你需要充满热情、雷厉风行地向前迈进。
And you will stand out from the crowd, and your classmates will look at you differently, and your friends will look at you differently, and your parents and teachers will look at you differently. The ambitious should never apologize, for the only people that will criticize you are the people who have already given up on greatness.
你将会从人群中脱颖而出,你的同学、朋友、父母和老师都会用异样的眼光看待你。胸怀大志的人永远无需辩白,因为只有那些放弃远大梦想的人才会对你指手画脚。
