A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
大学
College
Life is the most exciting opportunity we have. But we have one shot. You graduate from college once, and that's it. You're going out of that nest. And you have to find that courage that's deep, deep, deep in there. Every step of the way.
生活是我们拥有的最令人兴奋的机会。但我们只有一次机会。你大学毕业一次，仅此而已。你要离开那个窝。你必须找到那种勇气，那是深深的，深深的，深深的。每一步。
Athletes who take to the classroom naturally or are encouraged to focus on grades should be able to do well in the classroom. I believe the reason you go to college is to get your degree. It's not a minor league or an audition for the pros.
自然进入课堂或被鼓励专注于成绩的运动员应该能够在课堂上取得好成绩。我相信你上大学的原因是为了获得学位。这不是一个小联盟，也不是职业选手的试镜。
You've got a great chance in college to do all sorts of terrible irresponsible things, and you should totally do them. I mean, make huge mistakes. This is the time in your life if you screw up, it's okay because you can bounce back from it.
你在大学里有很多机会做各种可怕的不负责任的事情，你应该完全去做。我是说，犯大错误。如果你把事情搞砸了，没关系，因为你可以从中恢复过来。
And friends of mine that had photography class in high school would develop the film and make prints and I'd take them back to the track and give 'em away or try and sell them. Much to my parents' dismay, I majored in photography in college.
我的朋友们在高中上过摄影课，他们会冲洗胶卷，打印照片，然后我把它们带回赛道，把它们送人，或者试着卖掉。令我父母非常沮丧的是，我在大学主修摄影。
Well, my life hasn't really changed... I've been homeschooled for a long time. So that helped a lot because of shooting and stuff. But, I have had friends who I've been friends with for years and years and they are my true friends, you know?
我的生活并没有真正改变…我在家上学已经很长时间了。所以这对我很有帮助，因为我拍了很多照片。但是，我有一些朋友，他们是我多年的朋友，他们是我真正的朋友，你知道吗?
I literally left school and went straight into music via art college for a year, and I've been so involved in my job of writing songs that the more actively involved part became channeled into standing on the stage and saying things that way.
我真的离开了学校，通过艺术学院直接进入音乐领域一年，我全身心投入到写歌的工作中，更积极参与的部分变成了站在舞台上那样说。
High school for me was not all that fun. I think it's a lot more fun after when you realize that high school ends, and everything that's important at that time is sort of not important if people don't like your jeans or whatever. It doesn't matter.
对我来说，高中生活并不那么有趣。我想，当你意识到高中结束后，一切都变得有趣多了，如果人们不喜欢你的牛仔裤或其他东西，那时所有重要的事情都不重要了。没关系。
I have an incredible amount of basketball knowledge, and I think a lot of that is derived from having a Hall of Fame college basketball coach who was very knowledgeable of the game and I had a great high school coach who was also very knowledgeable.
我有大量的篮球知识，我认为这很大程度上是因为我有一个名人堂的大学篮球教练，他对篮球非常了解，我还有一个很棒的高中教练，他也非常了解篮球。
I liked to act in plays when I was a kid, and then in college. But that's the last time I really acted. I always loved it. But my interests were more in looking at the whole, rather than getting completely swallowed up in a single part of the whole.
我小时候喜欢演戏，后来上了大学。但那是我最后一次演戏。我一直很喜欢。但我的兴趣更多的是着眼于整体，而不是被整体的某一部分完全吞没。
I got in the school band and the school choir. It all hit me like a ton of bricks, everything just came out. I played percussion for a while, and stayed after school forever just tinkering around with different things, the clarinets and the violins.
我加入了学校乐队和学校合唱团。这一切对我来说都是沉重的打击，所有的东西都冒了出来。我打了一段时间的打击乐，放学后就一直呆在家里，摆弄着不同的乐器，单簧管和小提琴。
In high school, a teacher once suggested that I be a math major in college. I thought, 'Me? You've got to be joking!' I mean, in junior high, I used to come home and cry because I was so afraid of my math homework. Seriously, I was terrified of math.
高中时，一位老师曾经建议我在大学里学数学。我想,‘我吗?你在开玩笑吧!“我是说，在初中的时候，我常常回家哭，因为我很害怕数学作业。说真的，我害怕数学。
I was really desperate. I don't know if you can remember back that far, but when I went to graduate school they didn't want females in graduate school. They were very open about it. They didn't mince their words. But then I got in and I got my degree.
我真的很绝望。我不知道你们是否还记得那么久以前，但是当我读研究生的时候他们不希望女性进入研究生院。他们对此非常坦率。他们直言不讳。但后来我考上了大学，拿到了学位。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.
大学应该是一个充满光明、自由和学习的地方。
No star fades faster than that of a high school athlete.
没有一颗明星比一名高中运动员退色更快。
In college, you learn how to learn. Four years is not too much time to spend at that.
在大学里，你学习如何学习。四年的时间花在这上面并不多。
If I was designing a web site for elementary school children, I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools.
如果我在为小学生设计一个网站，我可能会有更高比例的老式电脑使用过时的浏览器，因为跟上浏览器和硬件技术并不是大多数小学的强项。
Colleges are places where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed.
大学是打磨鹅卵石、淡化钻石的地方。
Every time a student walks past a really urgent, expressive piece of architecture that belongs to his college, it can help reassure him that he does have that mind, does have that soul.
每当一个学生经过一幢属于他的学院的非常紧急、富有表现力的建筑时，它都能帮助他确信，他确实有那样的头脑，有那样的灵魂。
