东京热 斯皮尔伯格2016年哈佛大学演讲

海外盛名大导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格近日在哈佛大学毕业庆典上发表了题为《倾听内心低语》的精彩演讲东京热，博古通今将电影制作和灵感作念了久了而意思的诠释。

史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格是别称宽裕据说色调的好莱坞导演，其代表作有无人不晓的《大白鲨》，《E.T，》，《侏罗纪公园》，《辛德勒名单》等。2013年《期间》杂志将其列入世纪百大东说念主物之一。斯皮尔伯格的演讲以自嘲开场——这位本年已70岁的大导演说，我方直到2002年（已56岁）才大学毕业，因为年青时在大学工夫早早就肯定了我方想要作念的事，是以就辍学了。其后，因为他老是对我方的7个孩子强调大学拔擢的蹙迫性，但我方却莫得身膂力行，是以决定在五十多岁时重返大学获取了学位。

以下为演讲视频和双语全文：

Thank you, thank you, President Faust, and Paul Choi, thank you so much.止境感谢Faust校长、Paul Choi校长，谢谢你们。

It’s an honor and a thrill to address this group of distinguished alumni and supportive friends and cavelling parents. We’ve all gathered to share in the joy of this day, so please join me in congratulating Harvard’s Class of 2016.我怀着无比荣誉和抖擞的激情在这群凸起学友和缓助我的一又友以及我的父母眼前演讲。咱们皆相聚在沿途，共享这一天的景况，是以请和我沿途祈福2016的哈佛庆典。

I can remember my own college graduation, which is easy, since it was only 14 years ago. How many of you took 37 years to graduate? Because, like most of you, I began college in my teens, but sophomore year, I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios, so I dropped out. I told my parents if my movie career didn’t go well, I’d re-enroll. 我铭刻我我方的大学毕业庆典，这不难，因为即是14年以前的事情。你们当中的若干东说念主花了37年才毕业？因为就像你们中的普遍东说念主，我在十几岁时进入大学，可是大二的时候我从环球影城获取了我的逸想做事，是以我休学了。我跟我的父母说，淌若我的电影行状不顺，我会再行上学的。

It went all right. 我的电影行状发展得还行。（同学们大笑了～）

But eventually, I returned for one big reason. Most people go to college for an education, and some go for their parents, but I went for my kids. I’m the father of seven, and I kept insisting on the importance of going to college, but I hadn’t walked the walk. So, in my fifties, I re-enrolled at Cal State — Long Beach, and I earned my degree. 可是我临了照旧回到了学校，主要为了一个原因。好多东说念主为了获取拔擢去上大学，有的东说念主为了父母上大学，而我是为了我的孩子去上的。我是7个孩子的爸爸，我老是不时强调上大学的蹙迫性，可我我方皆没上过。是以在我50多岁的时候，我再行进入加州州立大学长滩分校，获取了学位。

I just have to add: It helped that they gave me course credit in paleontology for the work I did on Jurassic Park. That’s three units for Jurassic Park, thank you. 我必须补充少量，我获取学位的一个原因是学校为我在《侏罗纪公园》里所作念的给我了考古学学分。《侏罗纪公园》换得了3个学分，止境感谢。（同学们又大笑了～）

Well I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and some of you know, too — but some of you don’t. Or maybe you thought you knew but are now questioning that choice. Maybe you’re sitting there trying to figure out how to tell your parents that you want to be a doctor and not a comedy writer. 我离开大学是因为我很了了地知说念我想要作念什么。你们中的一些东说念主也知说念，可是有些东说念主还没弄显着。或者你以为你知说念，可是当今启动质疑这个决定。或者你坐在这里，试着想要若何告诉你的父母，你想要成为别称医师，而不是笑剧编剧。（同学们又大笑了～）

Well, what you choose to do next is what we call in the movies the ‘character-defining moment.’ Now, these are moments you’re very familiar with, like in the last Star Wars: The Force Awakens, when Rey realizes the force is with her. Or Indiana Jones choosing mission over fear by jumping over a pile of snakes. 你接下来要作念的事情，在咱们这行叫作念“界说变装的时刻”。这些是你止境闇练的场景，举例在最近的一部《星球大战：原力醒悟》里女主角Rey发现我方领有原力的一刻。或者在《夺宝奇兵》里印第安纳·琼斯弃取战胜记念跳过蛇堆，陆续任务的时候。

Now in a two-hour movie, you get a handful of character-defining moments, but in real life, you face them every day. Life is one strong, long string of character-defining moments. And I was lucky that at 18 I knew what I exactly wanted to do. But I didn’t know who I was. How could I? And how could any of us? Because for the first 25 years of our lives, we are trained to listen to voices that are not our own. Parents and professors fill our heads with wisdom and information, and then employers and mentors take their place and explain how this world really works.一部两小时的电影里有几个界说变装的时刻，可是在确实的生活中，你每天皆在濒临这么的时刻。生活即是一长串雄壮的界说变装的时刻。我止境行运在18岁时就知说念我想要作念什么。可是我并不知说念我是谁。我若何可能知说念呢？咱们中任何东说念主皆不知说念。因为在生命的头一个25年里，咱们被磨真金不怕火去倾听除我方除外的东说念主的声息。父母和讲授们把贤惠和信息塞进咱们的脑袋，然后换上老板和导师来向咱们解释这个宇宙到底是若何一趟事。

And usually these voices of authority make sense, but sometimes, doubt starts to creep into our heads and into our hearts. And even when we think, ‘that’s not quite how I see the world,’ it’s kind of easier to just to nod in agreement and go along, and for a while, I let that going along define my character. Because I was repressing my own point of view, because like in that Nilsson song, ‘Everybody was talkin’ at me, so I couldn’t hear the echoes of my mind.’ 广宽这些泰斗东说念主物的声息是有预料的，可是有些时候，质疑会爬进你的脑子和心里。就算咱们合计“这大概不太是我看宇宙的方法”，点头暗示赞同亦然更容易作念的事情，有段时刻我就让“缓助”界说了我。因为我压抑了我方的办法，因为就像尼尔森歌里唱的一样：“每个东说念主皆在对我话语，是以我听不见我想考的回声。”

And at first, the internal voice I needed to listen to was hardly audible, and it was hardly noticeable — kind of like me in high school. But then I started paying more attention, and my intuition kicked in. 一启动，我需要倾听的内心的声息简直一声不响，也难以察觉——就像高中时的我。可是之后我启动愈加防御这些声息，然后我的直观启动做事。

And I want to be clear that your intuition is different from your conscience. They work in tandem, but here’s the distinction: Your conscience shouts, ‘here’s what you should do,’ while your intuition whispers, ‘here’s what you could do.’ Listen to that voice that tells you what you could do. Nothing will define your character more than that. 我想告诉你，你的直观和你的良心是两个不同的事物。它们会合力做事，但这是它们的不同：你的良心会呼喊“你应当去作念这个”，而你的直观只会低语“你是可以这么作念的”。倾听阿谁告诉你你能若何去作念的声息。莫得什么比这更能界说你的变装的了。

Because once I turned to my intuition, and I tuned into it, certain projects began to pull me into them, and others, I turned away from.因为我一朝会听从我的直观，我就会全力干涉到一些名目中去，而放手其它。

And up until the 1980s, my movies were mostly, I guess what you could call ‘escapist.’ And I don’t dismiss any of these movies — not even 1941. Not even that one. And many of these early films reflected the values that I cared deeply about, and I still do. But I was in a celluloid bubble, because I’d cut my education short, my worldview was limited to what I could dream up in my head, not what the world could teach me.直到19世纪80年代时，我电影中的大普遍，我猜你们可以称之为“灭绝实践”。我不会终止任何这些电影的邀约，不单是《1941》。不啻那一部，好多早期电影反应了我其时内心的价值不雅，如今我仍然在这么作念。但我其时处于我方的电影泡沫中，因为我的辍学，我受限的宇宙不雅部分来自于我的设想，而不是外界训诲我的。

But then I directed The Color Purple. And this one film opened my eyes to experiences that I never could have imagined, and yet were all too real. This story was filled with deep pain and deeper truths, like when Shug Avery says, ‘Everything wants to be loved.’ My gut, which was my intuition, told me that more people needed to meet these characters and experience these truths. And while making that film, I realized that a movie could also be a mission. 当我执导《紫色》的时候，这部电影让我体验了我从未设想过，却如斯确实的一些感受。这个故事充满了深深的不欢欣和更深一步的说念理，就像Shug Avery说“任何一个东西皆想被爱着。”我的直观告诉我，更多的东说念主需要来意识这么的变装，来体验这么的说念理。在导演这部电影时，我顷刻间发现一部电影也可以是一个职责。

I hope all of you find that sense of mission. Don’t turn away from what’s painful. Examine it. Challenge it. 我但愿你们总共东说念主皆能找到这么的职责感。不要灭绝让你不欢欣的事情。盘考它、挑战它。

My job is to create a world that lasts two hours. Your job is to create a world that lasts forever. You are the future innovators, motivators, leaders and caretakers. 我的做事是要构筑一个督察两小时的宇宙。你的做事是要建一个会一直握续的宇宙。你们是将来的改换者、激发者、素养者和守护者。

And the way you create a better future is by studying the past. Jurassic Park writer Michael Crichton, who graduated from both this college and this medical school, liked to quote a favorite professor of his who said that if you didn’t know history, you didn’t know anything. You were a leaf that didn’t know it was part of a tree. So history majors: Good choice, you’re in great shape…Not in the job market, but culturally. 你们要盘考当年，才智修复一个更好的将来。《侏罗纪公园》的编剧Michael Crichton是从这所大学的医学院毕业的。他可爱援用他最可爱的一位讲授的话，他说淌若你不懂得历史，那么你一无所知。你是一派树叶，不知说念我方只是树的一部分。是以主修历史的同学们，很棒的弃取，你的远景可以…不是说在招聘阛阓上啊，从文化上来说的话。

The rest of us have to make a little effort. Social media that we’re inundated and swarmed with is about the here and now. But I’ve been fighting and fighting inside my own family to get all my kids to look behind them, to look at what already has happened. Because to understand who they are is to understand who were were, and who their grandparents were, and then, what this country was like when they emigrated here. We are a nation of immigrants — at least for now. 咱们剩下的其它东说念主就需要努点力了。消亡和并吞咱们的酬酢媒体只关乎当下。可是我我方和家东说念主皆不时尝试，让我总共的孩子们能透过这些，去看当年发生过的事情。因为要知说念他们是谁，就要去判辨他们也曾是谁，他们的祖父母是谁，以及当他们侨民到这个国度来的时候，这个国度到底是什么样。咱们是一个侨民国度——至少当今照旧。

So to me, this means we all have to tell our own stories. We have so many stories to tell. Talk to your parents and your grandparents, if you can, and ask them about their stories. And I promise you, like I have promised my kids, you will not be bored.是以对我来说，这意味着咱们每个东说念主皆有我方的故事可讲，有好多故事可讲。淌若可以的话，和你的父母、祖父母聊聊天，听听他们的故事。我保证，就像我向我的孩子保证的一样，一定得益颇丰，实足不会没趣。

And that’s why I so often make movies based on real-life events. I look to history not to be didactic, ‘cause that’s just a bonus, but I look because the past is filled with the greatest stories that have ever been told. Heroes and villains are not literary constructs, but they’re at the heart of all history. 这即是为什么我常常就会导演由确实事件改编的电影。我总结历史并不是为了说教，这是独特的奖励，我总结历史因为当年充满了那些从来没被讲明出来的伟大故事。豪杰和坏东说念主不是文体塑造出来的，而是在一切历史的最中心。

And again, this is why it’s so important to listen to your internal whisper. It’s the same one that compelled Abraham Lincoln and Oskar Schindler to make the correct moral choices. In your defining moments, do not let your morals be swayed by convenience or expediency. Sticking to your character requires a lot of courage. And to be courageous, you’re going to need a lot of support. 是以，这即是为什么倾听你内心的低语止境蹙迫。这与驱使亚伯拉罕·林肯和奥斯卡·辛德勒去作念正确的说念德弃取的东西是一样的。在属于你的“界说变装的时刻”里，不要让你的说念德被便利或者私利左右。忠于你的变装需要好多的勇气，变得勇敢，你又需要好多的缓助。

And if you’re lucky, you have parents like mine. I consider my mom my lucky charm. And when I was 12 years old, my father handed me a movie camera, the tool that allowed me to make sense of this world. And I am so grateful to him for that. And I am grateful that he’s here at Harvard, sitting right down there.淌若你有余行运，你会有像我父母一样开明的父母。我把母亲看作念我的行运女神。12岁时，我父亲给了我一个电影录像机，亦然因为有了这个，我可以更好地去感知这个宇宙，我很感谢我的父亲。当今我很谢意父亲也来到哈佛，坐在这里。

My dad is 99 years old, which means he’s only one year younger than Widener Library. But unlike Widener, he’s had zero cosmetic work. And dad, there’s a lady behind you, also 99, and I’ll introduce you after this is over, okay?我父亲本年99岁了，只比怀德纳藏书楼（哈佛最大的藏书楼本年100年）年青1岁，但不像这个藏书楼可以翻新，父亲已垂垂老矣。另外，父亲，在你死后有一位99岁的女士，这个之后我会先容你给她，好吗？

But look, if your family’s not always available, there’s backup. Near the end of It’s a Wonderful Life — you remember that movie, It’s a Wonderful Life? Clarence the Angel inscribes a book with this: “No man is a failure who has friends.” And I hope you hang on to the friendships you’ve made here at Harvard. And among your friends, I hope you find someone you want to share your life with. I imagine some of you in this yard may be a tad cynical, but I want to be unapologetically sentimental. I spoke about the importance of intuition and how there’s no greater voice to follow. That is, until you meet the love of your life. And this is what happened when I met and married Kate, and that became the greatest character-defining moment of my life. 可是，淌若你的家东说念主并不老是缓助你，还有B谋略。在《生活多好意思好》剧终前，天神Clarence在一册书上题写了这句话：“有一又友的东说念主，不会是生活的失败者。”我但愿你们会缓和在哈佛配置的这些友谊。而在你的一又友之中，我但愿你们找个能共享你生活的另一半。我料想你们中的一些东说念主对此会会抱有怀疑，可是我阐扬出的理性毫无歉意。我说了直观的蹙迫性，以及除了直观莫得更值得随同的声息。这是指在你遭受你一世最爱之前。我与太太相恋并娶妻的履历即是如斯，这成为了我生活中最蹙迫的“界说变装的时刻”。

Love, support, courage, intuition. All of these things are in your hero’s quiver, but still, a hero needs one more thing: A hero needs a villain to vanquish. And you’re all in luck. This world is full of monsters. And there’s racism, homophobia, ethnic hatred, class hatred, there’s political hatred, and there’s religious hatred. 爱、缓助、勇气、直观。总共的这些皆在你豪杰的箭袋之中，可是豪杰还需要一件东西——豪杰需要一个去驯服的坏东说念主。而你们总共东说念主皆很行运，这个宇宙充满了怪物。有种族敌视、恐同、种族仇恨、阶层仇恨，还有政事仇恨和宗教仇恨。

As a kid, I was bullied — for being Jewish. This was upsetting, but compared to what my parents and grandparents had faced, it felt tame. Because we truly believed that anti-Semitism was fading. And we were wrong. Over the last two years, nearly 20,000 Jews have left Europe to find higher ground. And earlier this year, I was at the Israeli embassy when President Obama stated the sad truth. He said: ‘We must confront the reality that around the world, anti-Semitism is on the rise. We cannot deny it.’ 照旧孩子的时候，我因为是犹太东说念主而被污辱。这让东说念主丧气，可是与我父母和祖父母也曾濒临的事情比起来，这很平凡。咱们皆确实信托反犹太畅通正在零落，但咱们错了。在当年两年间，有约莫两万犹太东说念主离开欧洲寻找糊口之地。本年早些时候，我在以色列大使馆听奥巴马总统述说了一个可怜的实践。他说：“反犹太畅通的增势发生在全球各地，这是咱们需要濒临的事实。咱们不可否定它。”

My own desire to confront that reality compelled me to start, in 1994, the Shoah Foundation. And since then, we’ve spoken to over 53,000 Holocaust survivors and witnesses in 63 countries and taken all their video testimonies. And we’re now gathering testimonies from genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, Armenia and Nanking. Because we must never forget that the inconceivable doesn’t happen — it happens frequently. Atrocities are happening right now. And so we wonder not just, ‘When will this hatred end?’ but, ‘How did it begin?’ 我正视这一事实的激烈愿望驱使我从1994年缔造了大屠杀真相基金会，从那以后咱们采访了63个国度5.3万名大屠杀的幸存者或目睹者，录制了他们总共东说念主的证词。当今咱们还在收罗卢旺达、柬埔寨、亚好意思尼亚以及南京大屠杀的证词。因为咱们始终皆不要健忘那些难以设想的罪孽会发生，何况时有发生。暴行也仍在发生。是以咱们不可只去想“仇恨什么时候才会住手？”而是“它是若何启动的？”。

Now, I don’t have to tell a crowd of Red Sox fans that we are wired for tribalism. But beyond rooting for the home team, tribalism has a much darker side. Instinctively and maybe even genetically, we divide the world into ‘us’ and ‘them.’ So the burning question must be: How do all of us together find the ‘we?’ How do we do that? There’s still so much work to be done, and sometimes I feel the work hasn’t even begun. And it’s not just anti-Semitism that’s surging — Islamophobia’s on the rise, too. Because there’s no difference between anyone who is discriminated against, whether it’s the Muslims, or the Jews, or minorities on the border states, or the LGBT community — it is all big one hate. 我想我并不需要向一群红袜队的球迷解释咱们为什么会拥抱部落文化。可是在为主队加油之外，部落文化有它更灰暗的一面。本能地或者由基因决定，咱们把宇宙分红“咱们”和“他们”。是以辣手的问题是，咱们总共东说念主能共同发现“咱们”？咱们应当如何去作念？仍旧有许多的做事要作念，有的时候我致使合计这一行状还没启动。这不单是是指反犹太畅通昂首，伊斯兰记念症也在昂首。因为那些被敌视的东说念主群之间是莫得辨认的，无论他们是穆斯林、犹太东说念主、边境乡镇的颓势东说念主群，或者是同性恋、双性恋及变性者社群——他们遭受的皆是一样的仇恨。

And to me, and, I think, to all of you, the only answer to more hate is more humanity. We gotta repair — we have to replace fear with curiosity. ‘Us’ and ‘them’ — we’ll find the ‘we’ by connecting with each other. And by believing that we’re members of the same tribe. And by feeling empathy for every soul — even Yalies. 对我来说，我想对你们也一样，只可用更多的东说念主性来抵抗更多的仇恨。咱们需要修护，用好奇来替代记念。不摈斥异己，咱们通过配置东说念主与东说念主的干系来找到共同的“咱们”。咱们要信托咱们是吞并个部落的成员。咱们对总共的东说念主皆要有哀怜心——哪怕对“友校”耶鲁东说念主也要如斯。

My son graduated from Yale, thank you … 我的女儿即是从耶鲁毕业的，谢谢你…

But make sure this empathy isn’t just something that you feel. Make it something you act upon. That means vote. Peaceably protest. Speak up for those who can’t and speak up for those who may be shouting but aren’t being hard. Let your conscience shout as loud as it wants if you’re using it in the service of others. 可是你要阐明你的同理心不单是你的感受。让它是你选拔活动的诱因。这是指参加投票、和平川抗议、为那些不可为我方发声或者照旧声嘶力竭却无法让东说念主防御的东说念主发声。让你的良心高声快什么吧，淌若是为了服务于他们。

And as an example of action in service of others, you need to look no further than this Hollywood-worthy backdrop of Memorial Church. Its south wall bears the names of Harvard alumni — like President Faust has already mentioned — students and faculty members, who gave their lives in World War II. All told, 697 souls, who once tread the ground where stand now, were lost. And at a service in this church in late 1945, Harvard President James Conant — which President Faust also mentioned — honored the brave and called upon the community to ‘reflect the radiance of their deeds.’ 看成为他东说念主服务的活动榜样，你只需要望望这像好莱坞配景一般的记忆教堂。它的南墙上是哈梵学友们的名字，福斯特校长照旧说过，他们是在第二次宇宙大战中献身的哈梵学生和考验们。697个东说念主，他们也曾在你站着的方位贻误过，697条生命逝去。在1945年记忆教堂举行的追忆会上，柯南特校长记忆这些勇敢的东说念主们，并敕令哈佛东说念主身上要“反射出他们豪举的荣光”。

Seventy years later, this message still holds true. Because their sacrifice is not a debt that can be repaid in a single generation. It must be repaid with every generation. Just as we must never forget the atrocities, we must never forget those who fought for freedom. So as you leave this college and head out into the world, continue please to ‘reflect the radiance of their deeds,’ or as Captain Miller in Saving Private Ryan would say, “Earn this.” 70年后，这句话仍然适用。因为他们所作念出的糟跶不是一代东说念主就能答复的。每一代东说念主皆应该答复他们。就像咱们始终不该健忘那些恶行，咱们始终也不应当健忘那些为解放而战的东说念主。是以当你离开这所学校进入宇宙，请陆续“反射出他们豪举的荣光”，或者像《挽救大兵瑞恩》里米勒上尉说的“别亏负环球”。

And please stay connected. Please never lose eye contact. This may not be a lesson you want to hear from a person who creates media, but we are spending more time looking down at our devices than we are looking in each other’s eyes. So, forgive me, but let’s start right now. Everyone here, please find someone’s eyes to look into. Students, and alumni and you too, President Faust, all of you, turn to someone you don’t know or don’t know very well. They may be standing behind you, or a couple of rows ahead. Just let your eyes meet. That’s it. That emotion you’re feeling is our shared humanity mixed in with a little social discomfort. 此外，请保握彼此的干系，别避而不见。这可能不是你想从一个创作媒体的东说念主这里听的一课，可是咱们花越来越多的时刻垂头看手机，而不是扫视别东说念主的眼睛。是以请原宥我，当今总共东说念主，请找一对眼睛久了凝视。学生们、学友们皆是，福斯特校长、你们总共东说念主，转向一位你不虞识或者不闇练的东说念主，对视，仅此长途。你所感受到的使咱们共同领有的东说念主性，混进去了一点酬酢不适感。

But, if you remember nothing else from today, I hope you remember this moment of human connection. And I hope you all had a lot of that over the past four years. Because today you start down the path of becoming the generation on which the next generation stands. And I’ve imagined many possible futures in my films, but you will determine the actual future. And I hope that it’s filled with justice and peace. 淌若你今天别的什么皆没记取，我但愿你能记取这一刻东说念主与东说念主之间的干系。我但愿当年四年中，你们履历了好多的这么的时刻。因为从今天启动，你们会像前辈一样，托举起下一辈东说念主。我在我的电影里幻想过好多种不同的将来，可是你们会决定将来的本色样子。我但愿，这么的将来充满公说念与和平。

And finally, I wish you all a true, Hollywood-style happy ending. I hope you outrun the T. rex, catch the criminal and for your parents’ sake, maybe every now and then, just like E.T.: Go home. Thank you. 临了，我祝愿环球好莱坞式的大团圆结局成真。祝你们能跑过暴龙、收拢罪人，为了你们的父母，也别忘了像E.T.那样常回家望望。谢谢。
