苏珊大妈做客奥普拉脱口秀一托福阅读机经背景
The world domination of Scottish singing hopeful Susan Boyle continued with her first appearance on Oprah.
The Britain's Got Talent star told chat show queen Oprah Winfrey that the global fanbase achieved through her audition on the show was "like a dream come true".
Her appearance on the daytime programme accompanied that of Simon Cowell who spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle's voice.
He told Oprah: "This lady came up, and I'm thinking; 'This will take five seconds and I can go have a cup of tea'.
"That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables.
"She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face midway through - it was one of my favourite moments," Cowell said.
The performance was posted on Youtube and before long, the 47-year-old Scottish singleton was a global
phenomenon.
Speaking from her home in Scotland, Ms Boyle said that despite the attention, she hasn't succumbed to pressure to radically change her appearance.
She said that her friend helps her with make-up. "I mean, that's hardly a makeover," the singing hopeful added.
Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents: "I was kind of slow at school, so getting something like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and so boosting my confidence."
Cowell spoke about how TV talent shows have the power to transform people's lives.
He said: "It gives the underdog a shot, and I think it's brilliant. The fact that we're allowing the public to make the decisions most of the time is a really good thing."
日前，苏格兰潜力歌手苏珊?波伊尔首次做客“奥普拉脱口秀”，继续她在全球的高人气。
这位从《英国达人》节目走出的明星告诉脱口秀女王奥普拉?温芙瑞，她在该节目上一展歌喉吸引了全球众多粉丝，“就像美梦成真”。
(《英国达人》节目的评委之一)西蒙?考威尔也一同参加了该日间谈话节目，他称自己当时听到波伊尔的声音大吃一惊。
他告诉奥普拉：“这位女士上台后我就想，‘她也就5秒钟吧，我可以去喝杯茶了’。”
“当她开始唱《悲惨世界》中的歌曲《我曾有梦》时，我的这一想法就改变了。”
考威尔说：“她知道我们会是这种反应，你就去看看她演唱过程中脸上那满意的表情，那是我最爱的时刻之
一。”
她的演唱片段被上传至Youtube网站，不久，这位47岁的苏格兰单身女士就红遍全球。
波伊尔女士在她苏格兰的家中称，尽管受到很多关注，她并没有屈服于压力去彻底改变形象。
她说她的朋友帮她化妆，之后又补充说：“我是说，那几乎算不上是化妆。”
在谈及最初发掘自己歌唱潜能的原因时，波伊尔说：“我学习不太好，所以唱歌这样的本领是遮掩这一缺憾的好方法，同时还可以增加我的自信。”
考威尔还在节目中谈到了电视选秀节目是怎样利用其自身的力量改变人们生活的。
他说：“它给失败者带来了尝试的机会，我觉得这太棒了。多数时候我们让观众来决定比赛结果，这的确是个很好的做法。”

篇三：奥普拉(OPRAH)在斯坦福2008年毕业典礼上的演讲中文
奥普拉(oprah)在斯坦福2008年毕业典礼上的演讲奥普拉·温弗瑞：
美国著名的脱口秀主持人。其主持和制作的节目《奥普拉脱口秀》（the oprah winfrey
show，又译作《奥普拉·温芙瑞秀》、《奥普拉秀》、《欧普拉·温芙瑞秀》、《欧普拉秀》等），
是美国历史上收视率最高的脱口秀节目。同时，它也是美国历史上播映时间最长的日间电视
脱口秀节目。从1986年12月8日至今，这个节目已经走过了20多个年头，播放了多达3000
多集。北京时间2009年11月20日，据国外媒体报道，在播出了23年之后，《奥普拉脱口秀》
将于2011年9月9日结束。thank you, president hennessy, and to the trustees and the faculty, to all of
the parents and grandparents, to you, the stanford graduates. thank you for letting
me share this amazing day with you.hennessy校长，全体教员，家长，还有斯坦福的毕业生门，非常感谢你们。感谢你们让
我和你们分享这美好的一天。我决定透漏一个小秘密给大家来作为这次演讲的开始。这个秘密就是kirby bumpus，斯
坦福2008年的毕业生，是我的义女。所以当hennessy校长让我来做演讲时，我受宠若惊，
因为自从kirby来这上学以来，这是我第一次被允许到斯坦福来。 正如你们知道的那样kirby是一个非常聪明的女孩。她说，她希望大家通过她自己的努
力了解她，而不是她认识谁。因此她从来不希望每一个第一次见到她的人知道她认识我。当
她和她妈妈第一次来到斯坦福参加开学典礼时，我听说每个人都十分热情。他们说：“我的天
啊，那是gayle king”。因为很多人都知道gayle king是我最好的朋友。 有些人走到kirby面前，对kirby说：“我的天啊，那是gayle king吗？”kirby说：“嗯，
她是我妈妈。”然后人们说：“我的天啊，难道说，你认识oprah winfrey。”kirby说：“有点
吧。”
i said, sort of? you sort of know me? well, i have photographic proof. i have
pictures which i can e-mail to you all of kirby riding horsey with me on all fours.
so, i more than sort-of know kirby bumpus. and im so happy to be here, just happy
that i finally, after four years, get to see her room. theres really nowhere else
id rather be, because im so proud of kirby, whograduates today with two degrees, one in human bio and the other inpsychology. love you, kirby cakes! thats how well i know her. i can call her cakes.我说：“有一点。你有一点认识我”。我还有照片为证。我可以把kirby 和我骑马时的照
片e-mail给你们。因此我不仅仅只是有点认识kirby bumpus。我非常高兴来到这里，因为
四年来我第一次来到她的寝室。我为kirby感到自豪，因为她获得了人类生物学和心理学的
双学位。这就是我多么的了解她。我可以叫她cakes。and so proud of her mother and father, who helped her get through this time, and
her brother, will. i really had nothing to do with her graduating from stanford, but
every time anybodys asked me in the past couple of weeks what i was doing, i would
say, im getting ready to go to stanford. 我为她的父母感到骄傲，她的父母给了她很大帮助，还有她的哥哥will。我对kirby大
学四年真的没有什么帮助。但是在过去的几周里，每当人们问我在做什么时，我都会说：“我
正准备去斯坦福”
i just love saying stanford. because the truth is, i know i would have never gotten
my degree at all, cause i didnt go to stanford. i went to tennessee state university.
but i never would have gotten my diploma at all, because i
was supposed to graduate back in 1975, but i was short one credit. and i figured,
im just going to forget it, cause, you know, im not going to march with my class.
because by that point, i was already on television. id been in television since i
was 19 and a sophomore. granted, i was the only television anchor person that had
an 11 oclock curfew doing the 10 oclock news. 我就是喜欢这样说stanford（用一种奇
怪的语调）。因为这是真的，我知道根本不会拿到我的学位，因为我没有去斯坦福念书。我去
了tennessee 州立大学。但是我本来不会拿到我的毕业证，因为我本应该在1975年毕业，
但是我少了一个学分。我认为我还是会忘了这件事。你们知道，我不会比得上我的同班同学。
因为我已经上了电视。我在19岁还是大学二年级的时候就已经上了电视。我是唯一一个电视
节目主持人，虽然有11点的宵禁，却做着10点钟的新闻。 seriously, my dad was like, well, that news is over at 10:30. be home by 11. but
that didnt matter to me, because i was earning a living. i was on my way. so, i thought,
im going to let this college thing go and i only had one credit short. but, my father,
from that time on and for years after, was always on my case, because i did not graduate.
hed say, oprah gail—thats my middle name—i dont know what youre gonna do without
that degree. and id say, but, dad, i have my own television show.严肃地说，我爸爸告诉我，“好吧，新闻10：30结束。11点之前到家。”但是这对我并
不重要，因为我已经自食其力了。我在走我自己的路。所以我想，我不能让关于我大学的那
件事就这么过去，我还少一个学分。但是我的父亲从那时起却成了问题。由于我没有毕业，
他总是说：“oprah gail（我的中间名字），我不知道没有学位你能做些什么。”然后我说：“但
是，爸爸，我已经有我自己的电视节目啦。” and hed say, well, i still dont know what youre going to do without that degree.and id say, but, dad, now im a talk show host. hed say, i dont know how youre
going to get another job without that degree. 他说：“好吧，但是我还是不知道没有那个学位你能干什么。”我说：“但是，爸爸，现在
我已经是脱口秀的主持人了”。他还是说：“我不知道没有那个学位你怎么去找其他的工作。”在1987年，tennessee州立大学邀请我回去做他们的毕业典礼演讲。在那时，我已经有
了自己的电视节目，并加入了国家联合会。我制作了一部电影，并被奥斯卡提名，而且成立
了我自己的公司harpo。可我告诉他们，我不能去演讲除非我得到那一个学分，因为我爸爸
总是说没了那学位我将一事无成。 so, i finished my coursework, i turned in my final paper and i got thedegree.and my dad was very proud. and i know that, if anything happens, that one
credit will be my salvation.因此，我完成了我的课程，上交了我的毕业论文，然后拿到了学位。我的爸爸非常的骄
傲。从此我知道，无论什么事发生，那一个学分是我的救世主 but i also know why my dad was insisting on that diploma, because, as b. b. king
put it, the beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take that away from
you. and learning is really in the broadest sense what i want to talk about today,
because your education, of course, isnt ending here. in many ways, its only just begun.但是我知道为什么我爸爸总是坚持让我获得文凭，因为，正如b. b. king所说：“关于
学习的美好在于别人不会把知识从你身上拿走”学习正是我今天想说的，因为你们的教育并
没有在这里结束。在很多情况下，这才是刚刚开使。 roadblocks. and sometimes as full-blown crises. and the secret ive learned to
getting ahead is being open to the lessons, lessons from the grandest university of
all, that is, the universe itself. 这个世界将会教会你们很多。我认为这个世界，这个地球，就像一个学校和我们人生的
教室。有时这些课程会是弯路和障碍。有时会充满危机。我所学的应付这一切的秘密就是去
勇于面对，正如我们面对大学课程一样。 eich your spirit. and, trust me, i know that inner wisdom is more precious than
wealth. the more you spend it, the more you gain. 这就是我们一直努力在做的，去做我们自己。我坚信你们会从每一件做过的事上学到经
验，这样你们就会取得进步。这样你们丰富了心灵。相信我，内在的智慧比外在的财富更加
珍贵。你越是使用它，你就得到更多。 so, today, i just want to share a few lessons—meaning three—that ive learned
in my journey so far. and arent you glad? dont you hate it when somebody says, im
going to share a few, and its 10 lessons later? and, youre like, listen, this is my
graduation. this is not about you. so, its only going to be three. 今天我想和大家分享我人生的三个经验。你们难道不觉得高兴吗？你们是否会反感，当
有人对你说：“我想分享一些”但事实上却是10个经验。你们肯定在想：“听着，这是我的毕
业典礼，不是你的”。因此这里只有三个经验我想和大家分享。 the three lessons that have had the greatest impact on my life have to do with
feelings, with failure and with finding happiness.这三个经验对我的人生产生了很大影响，它们是关于感情，失败和追求幸福。 当我离开大学一年后，在baltimore我得到了一个共同主持6点新闻的机会。在那时媒
体界的最大目标就是获得更大的市场，而baltimore是一个比nashville大得多的市场，因
此在22岁时得到这个机会对我来说非常重要。它那时对我来说它仿佛是世界上最重要的事。and i was so proud, because i was finally going to have my chance to be like barbara
walters, which is who i had been trying to emulate since the start of my tv career.
so, i was 22 years old, making $22,000 a year. and its where i met my best friend,
gayle, who was an intern at the same tv station. and once we became friends, wed say,
ohmigod, i cant believe it! youre making $22,000 and youre only 22. imagine when youre
40 and youre making $40,000!我非常自豪，因为我终于有机会去效法barbara walters。而她正是我从业以来一直效
法的对象。那时我22岁，每年挣22,000美元。我遇到了在电视台做实习生的gayle，我们
立刻成了好朋友。我们说：“我的天啊，真难以置信。你在22岁时挣每年能挣22,000美元。
想象一下吧，当你40岁时你每年就会挣40,000美元”篇二：奥普拉在斯坦福大学2008年毕
业典礼上的演讲

者。很多年以后我们又见面了。她对我说：“你知道吗？你一点也没有变。你变得更为自我了。”
