1994年畢業(yè)于丹尼森學院、現(xiàn)年47歲的Jennifer Garner,在向2019屆畢業(yè)生發(fā)表有關(guān)大小主題的演講之前,獲得了人文學榮譽博士學位。
The mother of three ended by giving eight tips to help graduates navigate issues big and small as they go out into the world.
作為三個孩子的母親,她最后給出了8條建議,幫助畢業(yè)生在走向社會的過程中處理大大小小的問題。
Enjoy the view from up top if you go to the Grand Canyon. "Don't walk down the Grand Canyon to see what it looks like from the bottom. It's great from the top, you should do that. But when you get to the bottom, it's just a big hill, and it's a pain in the ass to climb back up."
如果你去大峽谷,從上面欣賞風景。"不要走下大峽谷去看它到底是什么樣子。從上到下的過程很棒,你應該這么做。但是,當你走到山腳下的時候,那只是一座大山,再爬上去是非常痛苦的。”
Smoking is gross. "Don't smoke and don't vape. We know, vaping smells like maple syrup or pineapple or cotton candy, whatever it is. But now that you're going to be adulting, it's not cute. Just don't do it."
吸煙是件惡心的事兒。“不要抽煙,也不要抽電子煙。煙味聞起來會像楓糖漿、菠蘿或棉花糖,不管是什么味吧。要知道你現(xiàn)在要成人了,抽煙可不可愛。千萬別這么做。”
Sunscreen is your friend. "I'm going to say this because everyone says it, but you won't listen because nobody does: nothing looks better in your fifties than sunscreen in your twenties."
防曬霜是真朋友。“我之所以這么說,是因為每個人都這么說,但你不會聽,因為沒人會聽:等你50多歲的時候就會知道,沒什么能比20多歲的時候涂防曬霜更好的了。”
This is how you do Halloween. "When it comes to Halloween costumes, go funny over sexy. Why would you dress like a flirty nurse when you could be a mailbox? It's an opportunity."
萬圣節(jié)要這樣做。“說到萬圣節(jié)服裝,搞笑比性感更重要。當你可以成為一個郵筒的時候,你為什么要穿得像一個輕浮的護士?這可是一個展示自己的機會。”
There's no such thing as mixed signals. "Mixed signals are not mixed signals — they're a no."
沒有所謂的愛情信號。“愛情信號不是信號——是‘不’。”
Three things to do in your daily life. "Impose self-discipline around three things: have a book on your bedside table at all times and read it, obviously. Be in charge of your consumption of social media, and foster a sense of humor about yourselves because otherwise, you run the risk of being boring."
在你的生命中堅持做這三件事。“在這三件事上保持自律:任何時候都要在床頭柜上放一本書,是要讀的哦??刂茻o用社交時間。培養(yǎng)自己的幽默感,否則你將會變成一個無聊的人。”
Ladies, the time is now. "If you're a woman — and pardon me for being binary for just a second — the stage has been set. The world is yours to grab. Go out and get it, girl."
女士們,就是現(xiàn)在。“如果你是一名女生——原諒我對女生的特別照顧,就一秒鐘——舞臺已經(jīng)搭建好了。這個世界是你的。去吧,去擁有它,姑娘們。”
Stay in touch after graduation. "Finally, stay close to your friends from college. You've just spent four years hanging out with them. That history is invaluable. Work friends, you talk to them about work. Lovers, you talk to them about love and dinner reservations. But friends from college, you can talk to them about everything, and you can do nothing with them and still be happy."
畢業(yè)后保持聯(lián)系。最后,和大學里的朋友們保持密切的聯(lián)系。你剛剛才跟他們混了四年不是嗎。那段經(jīng)歷是無價的。工作上的朋友,你可以和他們談論工作。情侶,你可以和他們談論愛情和晚餐吃什么。但是大學里的朋友,你可以和他們談論任何事情,也什么都不做,仍然會很開心。”
