有的人活着，他已经死了

 

有的人活着，

 

他已经死了；                

 

有的人死了， 

 

他还活着。   

所以想问你，你想成为什么样的人？

It is not death most people are afraid of. 人们最害怕的不是死亡。

It is getting to the end of life, only to realize that you never truly lived.

而是到生命的最后，才意识到你没有真正活过。

There was a study done, a hospital study on 100 elderly people facing death close to their last breath. They were asked to reflect about their life’s biggest regret.曾有一项研究：对100名奄奄一息的老年人进行了一项医院研究。他们被要求反省他们生活中最大的遗憾。

Nearly all of them said they regretted not the things they did but the things they didn’t do. 几乎所有的人都说，他们后悔的事情不是他们做过的，而是他们没有做过的。

The risks they never took the dreams they didn’t pursue.

他们从没有冒过的险和没有追逐过的梦。

I ask you would your last words be; if only I had – hey, you wake up.

我问你，你最后一句话会是什么？如果我有，嘿，你清醒一下。

Why do you exist? Life is not meant to simply work, wait for the weekend and pay rent. No, no I don’t know much. But I know this every person on this earth has a gift.你为什么存在？生命的意义不是简单的工作，等待周末和付房租。不，不，我不知道太多。但是我知道地球上的每个人都有一个天赋（礼物）。

And I apologized to the black community but I can no longer pretend Martin Luther King.That man never had a dream, that dream had him.我向黑人社区道歉，但是我不能再拥护马丁·路德·金了 。那个人从来没有过梦想，是梦想拥有他。

See people don’t choose dreams, dreams choose them. So the question I’m getting to is, do you have the courage to grab the dream that picked you?That befits you and grips you; or will you let it get away and slip through?看到没，人们不选择梦想，梦想选择他们。所以我要问的问题是，你是否有勇气抓住属于你的梦？那个适合你的和抓住你的梦；或者你会让ta跑了，溜走？

You know I learned a fact about airplanes the other day. This was – this was so surprising to see, I was talking to a pilot and he told me that many of his passengers think planes are dangerous to fly in . But he said actually, it is a lot more dangerous for a plane to stay on the ground. I say what? Like how does that sound what he said, he said because on the ground the plane starts to rust.你知道我某一天学了一个关于飞机的事实。这是，这真是让人吃惊的发现。我正和一个飞行员聊天，他告诉我说很多他的乘客认为乘飞机是危险的。但是他说，事实上，一架飞机停留在地上是更加危险的事。我说什么？听起来他是这么说的，他说因为在地上飞机开始生锈。

Malfunction and wear, much faster than it ever would if it was in the air. As I walked away I thought, yeah, makes total sense because planes were built to live in the skies. And every person was built to live out the dream they have inside. So it is perhaps the saddest loss to live a life on the ground without ever taking off.

它（飞机）曾经能更快如果它是在空气中，尽管会出现故障和磨损。当我离开的时候我想，太棒了，完全有道理，因为飞机是为了在天空中生存而建造的。 每个人都是为了实现他们内心的梦想而建造的。所以可能最可悲的事是一直生活在地上，没有让梦想起飞。

想起Thomas Aquinas的名言：

参考翻译：如果一个船长的最高目标是保全他的船，那他将永远留在港口。

See most of us are afraid of the thief, that comes in the night to steal all of our things. But there is a thief in your mind who is after your dreams. His name is doubt.If you see him，call the cops and keep him away from the kids because he is wanted for murder. So he has killed more dreams than failure ever did. He wears many disguises and like a virus will leave you blinded, divided and turn you into a kinda.看到没，大部分人都害怕小偷在夜里来偷走我们所有的东西。但你心中有个小偷跟在你的梦想后面。他的名字叫怀疑。如果你看到他，叫警察把他从孩子们身边带走，因为他被谋杀了。所以他杀死了比失败更多的梦想。他戴着很多的伪装，就像病毒一样，会让你失明，分裂，把你变成一个有点想。

See kinda is lethal. You know what kinda is? There is a lot of kinda people, you kinda want a career change, you kinda want to get straight A’s, you kinda want to get in shape. Simple math, no numbers tocrunch. If you kinda want something, then you will kinda get the results you want.看到没，有点想是致命的。你知道有点想是什么吗？很多人有点想，你有点想改变职业，你有点想直接得到A，你有点想保持身材。简单的数学，没有数字可以压缩。如果你有点想要什么东西，那么你会得到你有点想要的结果。(种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆的意思)

What is your dream? What ignites that spark. You can’t kinda want that, you got to want it with every part of your whole heart. Will you struggle? Yeah, yeah… you will struggle, no way around it. You will fall many times, but who’s counting? Just remember, there’s no such thing as a smooth mountain.你的梦想是什么？是什么点燃了那火花。你不能有点想要这样，你必须全心全意地想要它。你会努力吗？是的，是的…你会努力，没有办法。你会摔倒很多次，但是谁在数这个次数呢？记住，这个世界上并没有像平坦的山这样的东西。

If you want to make it to the top then, there are sharp ridges that have to be stepped over. There will be times you get stressed and things you get depressed over. But let me tell you something. Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school three times, three times but he kept going.The televisionexecsfired Oprah said she was unfit for TV but she kept going. Critics told Beyoncé that she couldn’t sing she went through depression. But she kept going.如果你想登上山顶，就必须跨过尖锐的山脊。有时你会感到压力，你会感到沮丧。但是让我告诉你一些事情:史蒂文斯皮尔伯格被电影学院拒绝了三次，三次，但他坚持下来了。电视高层解雇了奥普拉，说她不适合电视，但她继续前进。批评者说碧昂丝她不会唱歌，她经历了抑郁症，但她一直坚持下去。

Struggle and criticisms are prerequisites for greatness. That is the law of this universe and no one escapes it. Because pain is life but you can choose what type? Either the pain on the road to success or the pain of being haunted with regret.争议和批评是伟大的先决条件。这是这个宇宙的法则，没有人能逃脱它。因为痛苦是生活，但是你可以选择什么类型的痛苦？要么是通往成功之路的痛苦，要么是被悔恨困扰的痛苦。（痛并快乐着）

You want my advice. Don’t think twice.We have been given a gift that we call life.So don’t blow it. You’re not defined by your past instead you were born anew in each moment. So own it now.你想要我的建议。不要思考第二次。我们得到了一个我们称之为生命的礼物，所以不要吹走它。你不是被过去定义的，而是你每一刻都重生的。所以你现在拥有它。（每一刻都是崭新的）

Sometimes you’ve got to leap. And grow your wings on the way down. You better get the shot off before the clock runs out because there is ain’t no over time in life, no do over. And I know what sound like I’m preaching on speaking with force but if you don’t use your gift then you sell not only yourself, but the whole world. Short.有时你必须跳跃。在成长的道路上长出你的翅膀。你最好在时间走完之前做决定，因为生命没法超时，没法在超时之后再做。我知道我像是在用强制的演讲说教，但如果你不使用你的天赋，那么你不仅出卖你自己，而且出卖整个世界。简单说。

So what invention that you have buried in your mind? What idea?What cure? What skill did you have inside to bring out to this universe?Uni meaning one, verse meaning song, you have a part to play in this song.那么你心中埋藏的是什么发明呢？什么想法？什么措施？你有什么内部技能能带给这个世界？唯一意味着个体，歌词意味一首歌，你在这首歌中可以扮演一个角色。

So grab that microphone and be brave. Sing your heart out on life’s stage. You cannot go back and make a brand new beginning. But you can start now and make a brand new ending.所以抓住麦克风勇敢点。在人生舞台上唱出你的心声。你不能回头去创造一个全新的开始，但你可以从现在开始，创造一个全新的结局。

好了，到这里，黑人兄弟的激情演讲的演讲稿结束。你有什么感受呢？你想不想真正地活过？
