4. 傾聽你內心的聲音,，定義你的角色

And I want to be clear that your intuition is different from your conscience. They work in tandem, but here's the distinction: Your conscience shouts, 'here's what you should do,' while your intuition whispers, 'here's what you could do.' Listen to that voice that tells you what you could do. Nothing will define your character more than that.

我想讓你（們）明白，直覺和良心是截然不同的,。它們協(xié)同工作,，但卻有著不同的使命：你的良心會對你吶喊"這個才是你應該做的"，而你的直覺卻在沙沙低語"這個是你能做的",。傾聽那個告訴你能做什么的聲音,。這是最能定義你的角色的了。

【語言點解析】

街上風聲瑟瑟,。

5. 不要逃避現實和痛苦

But then I directed The Color Purple. And this one film opened my eyes to experiences that I never could have imagined, and yet were all too real. This story was filled with deep pain and deeper truths, like when Shug Avery says, 'Everything wants to be loved'.

之后我執(zhí)導了《紫色》，這部電影讓我大開眼界,，體驗了前所未有,、卻如此真實的感受。這個故事充滿了深深的痛苦和更加深刻的真理,，就像Shug Avery所說的"世間萬物都渴望被愛",。

My gut, which was my intuition, told me that more people needed to meet these characters and experience these truths.

我的直覺告訴我，更多的人需要見識一下這樣的角色,，感受此種真理,。

I hope all of you find that sense of mission. Don't turn away from what's painful. Examine it. Challenge it.

我希望你們都能找到這種使命感。不要逃避苦痛,。檢驗它,、挑戰(zhàn)它。

6. 珍惜你的家人和伙伴

Sticking to your character requires a lot of courage. And to be courageous, you're going to need a lot of support. And if you're lucky, you have parents like mine. I consider my mom my lucky charm.

堅持你的角色需要很大的勇氣,，勇敢起來,，你還需要很多支持,。如果你足夠幸運，有像我父母一樣的父母,。我想起了我媽媽——我的幸運符,。

But look, if your family's not always available, there's backup. Near the end of It's a Wonderful Life - you remember that movie, It's a Wonderful Life? Clarence the Angel inscribes a book with this: "No man is a failure who has friends." And I hope you hang on to the friendships you've made here at Harvard. And among your friends, I hope you find someone you want to share your life with.

但是，想一想,，如果你的家人并不總是支持你,，還有其他辦法。在《生活多美好》這部影片劇終前——你們記得這部影片嗎,，《生活多美好》,？天使克拉倫斯在一本書中題著了這句話："有朋友的人，不是失敗者",。我希望你們能夠堅持在哈佛建立的友誼,。我也希望，在你們的朋友中,，能找到與你們一起分享生活的另一半,。(滬江英語)
