施瓦辛格清華演講

1、施瓦辛格清華演講I started way back as a weightlifter. I always liked the idea of lifting weights and being a bodybuilder. From the first moment when I gripped a barbell and held it around the bar and lifted the steel up over my head, I felt this exhilaration, and I knew then that this is something that Im g

2、oing to doI remember the first real workout that I had. Eight miles away from my home village in Austria there was a gymnasium, and I rode to that gymnasium with a bicycle. And there I trained for half an hour, because they said that after half an hour you should stop because otherwise your body wil

3、l get really sore. But after half an hour I looked at my body, and nothing had happened. So I said, "Id better work out for another half hour." So I lifted some more. My strength didnt improve, I didnt see the muscles pop out or anything like that, so I trained for another half an hour. An

4、d then after another half hour I trained another half hour, and all together I trained two and a half hours.I rode my bicycle home. And after the first mile I got numb, and I couldnt feel anymore the handle of the bicycle, and I fell off the bike and I fell into the ditch on the side of the road.Wel

5、l, The next morning when I got up, my body was so sore that I couldnt even lift my arms to comb my hair. I had to have my mother comb my hair, and you know how embarrassing that is. But you know something? I learned a very important lesson, that pain means progress. Pain is progress.After two or thr

6、ee years of discipline and determination and working out hard, I actually changed my body, and I changed my strength. And that told me something; that if I could change my body that much, then I could also change anything else. I could change my habits, my intelligence, my attitude, my mind, my futu

7、re, my life. And this is exactly what I have done. I think that that lesson applies to people, and it also applies to countries. You can change, China can change, everyone in the world can change.I remember the first time I went to the United States and I was competing in the World Championships in

8、Bodybuilding. I lost and I was devastated. I felt like a loser, a major loser. I cried, as a matter of fact, because I felt like I disappointed my friends and I disappointed myself. But the next day I got my act together, I shifted gears, and I said, "Im going to learn from that lesson.And from

9、 then on, I continued. My career took off, and everything that I wanted to do I accomplished. First it was to become a champion in bodybuilding. Later on I became a movie star, Then I became the governor of the great state of California, of the sixth largest economy in the world. All of this happene

10、d because of my dreams, even though other people told me that those dreams were bogus and they were crazy, but I held onto my dreams.In Hollywood they said "You will never make it. You have a German accent. No one in Hollywood has ever made it with a German accent. Yeah, maybe you can play some

11、 Nazi roles or something like that, but you cannot become a leading star with an accent. Plus your body, youre overdeveloped, you have all these muscles. They did Hercules movies 20 years ago, thats outdated. And your name, Schwarzenegger, it will never fit on a movie poster. Forget it, you will nev

12、er make it. Go back to bodybuilding."Well, the rest is history. After Terminator 3, I became the highest paid movie star in Hollywood. And let me tell you something, it continued on. Even when I ran for governor people said, "Arnold, you will never become governor of California. What do yo

13、u know aboutgovernment?" Well, I continued campaigning, I listened to my dreams, and the rest also is history. I became governor.So always it just carried me on those dreams. So bodybuilding gave me the confidence, movies gave me the money, and pubic service and being a governor gave me a purpo

14、se larger than myself.我出道時(shí)是個(gè)舉重運(yùn)動(dòng)員。 自從第一次抓緊杠鈴、 將其高高舉過(guò)頭頂之際, 我就為此感到異 常興奮。那時(shí)我知道,這就是我將來(lái)要做的事情。我還記得最初那次真正的訓(xùn)練。 當(dāng)時(shí)我騎著自行車(chē)前往一家健身房, 那兒離我家所在的奧地 利小村莊有八英里之遙。 在那里我訓(xùn)練了半個(gè)鐘頭, 因?yàn)樗麄冋f(shuō)訓(xùn)練必須半小時(shí)一停, 否則 你會(huì)全身酸痛。后來(lái)我看看自己的身體,啥事沒(méi)有!于是我說(shuō), “最好再練半小時(shí)吧?！本?又多舉了幾下。 可是力量并未因此增強(qiáng), 也不見(jiàn)肌肉鼓起來(lái)。 然后我又練了半小時(shí),再加半 小時(shí)結(jié)果總共練了兩個(gè)半小時(shí)。后來(lái),我騎車(chē)回家了。剛走一英里,我頓覺(jué)四肢麻木,連

15、車(chē)把都感覺(jué)不到了,結(jié)果整個(gè)人從 車(chē)上摔下來(lái), 掉進(jìn)了路邊的水溝里。 第二天早上起床, 我渾身酸痛, 連舉手梳頭都無(wú)能為力, 只好叫我母親替我梳頭這真令人難堪! 可你知道嗎, 我獲得了非常重要的一次教訓(xùn), 即:要想進(jìn)步就得吃苦。經(jīng)過(guò)兩三年意志上的磨練和體力上的鍛煉, 我確實(shí)改造了自己的身體, 氣力也變大了。 這件 事告訴我, 如果能大大地改變身體, 我就能改變一切:我能改變習(xí)慣, 改變智力, 改變態(tài)度, 改變思想,改變未來(lái),改變?nèi)松Ｊ聦?shí)上我已經(jīng)做到了。我想這一教訓(xùn)適用于人,也適用于 國(guó)家。你能改變,中國(guó)能改變,世界上每個(gè)人都能變。我還記得第一次到美國(guó)參加世界健美錦標(biāo)賽。 當(dāng)時(shí)我輸了,絕望無(wú)比。

16、 我就像一個(gè)敗者,一 個(gè)遭受慘敗的人。我哭了,事實(shí)上因?yàn)槲腋械阶屌笥咽?也讓自己失望了。但第二天, 我重振旗鼓,改變了態(tài)度,并對(duì)自己說(shuō), “我要吸取教訓(xùn)?！睆哪菚r(shí)起,我不斷努力,事業(yè) 從此輝煌騰達(dá), 我實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己想做的一切首先成為健美冠軍, 接著成為電影明星, 后來(lái) 當(dāng)上了世界第六大經(jīng)濟(jì)體加利福尼亞州的州長(zhǎng)。這一切的實(shí)現(xiàn)都是因?yàn)槲业膲?mèng)想, 即使別人說(shuō)我的那些夢(mèng)想都是虛偽而荒唐的, 但是我仍堅(jiān) 持不棄。在好萊塢,他們?cè)f(shuō), “你決不可能成功,你一口德國(guó)音。在好萊塢還沒(méi)有一個(gè)說(shuō) 話帶德國(guó)音的人能成功的。 飾演一些納粹角色你倒是可以, 但有口音的人想成為主角是不可 能的。還有你的體形,一身肌肉,太過(guò)發(fā)達(dá)了!二十前
