篇二：奥普拉-温弗瑞斯坦福大学毕业典礼演讲
feelings, failure and finding happiness 感觉、失败及寻找幸福——奥普拉·温弗瑞 ------------ ——美国著名电视节目主持人奥普拉·温弗瑞2008年在斯坦福大学毕业
典礼上发表的演讲
thank you, president hennessy, and to the trustees 受托人 and the faculty 教
师, to all of the parents andgrandparents, to you, the stanford graduates. thank you for letting me share this
amazing day with you.
you see, kirbys a very smart girl. she wants people to get to know her on her
own terms, she says. not in terms of who she knows. so, she never wants anyone whos
first meeting her to know that i know her and she knows me. so, when she first came
to stanford for new student orientation 典礼with her mom, ii said, sort of? you sort of know me? well, i have photographic proof证明. i
have pictures which i can e-mail to you all of kirby riding horsey马 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, who graduates today with two degrees,
one in human bio and the other in psychology. love you, kirby cakes! thats how well
i know her. i can call her 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. 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
田纳西州立大学. 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（一个学分）. 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 大二. granted, i was the only television
anchor person 电视主持人that had an 11 oclock curfew 宵禁 doing the 10 oclock news.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, fromthat 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.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脱口秀 host. hed say, i dont know how
youre going to get another job without that degree. so, i finished my coursework, i turned in my final paper and i got the degree.and
my dad was very proud. and i know that, if anything happens, that one credit will
be my salvation. 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.sometimes as full-blown crises全面危机. 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.
its being able to walk through life eager and open to feelings, failure and finding happiness 感觉、失败及寻找幸福——奥普拉·温弗瑞 ------------ ——美国著名电视节目主持人奥普拉·温弗瑞2008年在斯坦福大学毕业

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.

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

典礼的演讲
脱口秀女王奥普拉2008年在斯坦福大学毕业典礼的演讲奥普拉·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 thetrustees and the faculty, to all of the

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。”
