All right. Good afternoon, esteemed faculty, distinguished guests, relieved parents, bored siblings, confused pets, and, of course, the 2023 graduating class of MIT. It is indeed a warm welcome. It's hot. And you know what I love to do on a beautiful, sunny, 95-degree summer day? Wear a big black blanket. At least I'm up here in the shade. You'd think the best engineering school on the planet could design a bigger awning for everyone. It's for next year. 好,各位老师、贵宾、终于松了一口气的家长、无聊的兄弟姐妹、摸不着头脑的宠物,当然还有麻省理工学院2023届毕业生,下午好。你们的欢迎真是热烈,天气也真热。你们知道,在阳光灿烂、气温高达华氏95度的夏日,我最爱做什么吗?披上一条黑色大毯子。至少我站的这里还有阴凉。你会以为,地球上最好的工程学院,能为大家设计一顶更大的遮阳篷。留待明年吧。
Standing here before you is weird. I feel this pressure to give some timeless advice that will endure, despite our world changing at an unprecedented pace. The world is so different, even from four years ago. For example, for the undergrads, you are the first graduating class to have persevered through a global pandemic, just as this is the first commencement speech written entirely by ChatGPT. The tech is still very new. So if I make any grammatical errors or threaten to end all human life, that did not come from me. That's the robot. 站在你们面前,感觉有点奇妙。我感到一种压力:在世界以前所未有的速度变化时,得给大家一些经得起时间考验的建议。即使和四年前相比,世界也已大不相同。比如,在座的本科毕业生是第一届熬过全球疫情的毕业生,而这也是第一篇完全由 ChatGPT 写成的毕业演讲。这项技术还很新,所以如果我犯了语法错误,或扬言要终结全人类,那可不是我的本意,是机器人说的。
At this point, I should probably tell your parents who I am. I'm Mark Rober, a former Apple and NASA mechanical engineer who became a YouTuber. And, yes, I know, to some of you, it sounds like I just said I quit the NBA to work at Foot Locker. Or I traded a Picasso for an NFT of a stoned monkey. But I wouldn't have it any other way. 现在,我大概该向你们的父母介绍一下自己。我是马克·罗伯,曾在苹果和美国国家航空航天局担任机械工程师,后来做了 YouTube 视频创作者。我知道,对有些人来说,这听起来就像我辞掉 NBA 的工作,跑去 Foot Locker 卖鞋;或者把一幅毕加索的画换成了一张吸嗨了的猴子 NFT。但我一点也不后悔。
I sort of feel at home here, because Buzz Aldrin went to MIT. And just like me, Buzz was a NASA engineer. Only Buzz stuck with it and became one of the first humans to set foot on the moon. Whereas I quit to become the first human to sprinkle porch pirates with glitter and fart spray. It's on YouTube. Your kids will explain it at dinner. 我在这里有点宾至如归的感觉,因为巴兹·奥尔德林也曾就读麻省理工。和我一样,他也曾是美国国家航空航天局的工程师。只不过他坚持干了下去,成为最早踏上月球的人之一;而我辞职后,成了第一个用亮片和臭屁喷雾招呼偷包裹贼的人。视频就在 YouTube 上,晚饭时你们的孩子会解释给你们听。
But whether it's seeking karmic justice for package thieves, or building an obstacle course for squirrels in my backyard, I plan my monthly YouTube videos really far out in advance. In fact, I've already decided what my June 2053 video will be. And it's going to be a collab with all of you. It's going to be a retrospective look at all the amazing things this MIT graduating class of 2023 has accomplished. In fact, this right now is the video intro. So if you've ever wanted to be in one of my videos, this is your chance. 无论是替被偷包裹的人讨回公道,还是在后院给松鼠搭障碍赛道,我都会提前很久筹划每月的视频。事实上,我连2053年6月的视频都想好了:那将是我和你们所有人的一次合作,回顾麻省理工2023届毕业生取得的种种成就。此刻拍下的,就是那支视频的片头。如果你一直想出现在我的视频里,机会来了。
Now, will YouTube still be around in 30 years? Hopefully, unless Elon buys it. But here's the thing. The degree to which you positively impact the world is the degree to which you'll be featured in the video. So in order to increase your chances of making the cut, I want to give you three pieces of advice based off my life experience. 三十年后 YouTube 还在吗?希望如此,除非埃隆把它买下来。不过重点是:你们对世界产生多大的积极影响,就能在那支视频里占多大篇幅。为了增加你们入选的机会,我想根据自己的经历,给你们三条建议。
The first bit of advice—is to moisturize when giving a commencement speech—is to embrace naive optimism. What do I mean by naive optimism? Actually, before I go any further, usually in my YouTube videos, when I get to the juicy part, I'm not really used to this public speaking thing, so the music kicks in. So if you'll just give me a moment and hit this button. Trust me, this is going to be better for both of us. Here we go. Right here. Let's see. There we go. All right. That's better. 第一条建议——毕业演讲时记得涂保湿霜——其实是:拥抱天真的乐观主义。什么叫天真的乐观主义?先等一等。通常我的 YouTube 视频讲到精彩部分时,音乐就会响起来。我还不太习惯公开演讲,所以请让我按一下这个按钮。相信我,这样对大家都好。来吧,就在这儿。让我看看。好了。这样才对。
What do I mean by naive optimism? Naive optimism means it's easier to be optimistic about your future when you're sort of naive about what lies ahead, when you don't know what you don't know. As an example, think back on the first week at MIT, how naive you were about the number of all-nighters and cans of Red Bull that would be required to be sitting where you are right now. In fact, you guys drank so much caffeine I'm surprised you're even sitting at all. 什么叫天真的乐观主义?就是说,当你还不知道前方有什么、不知道自己有哪些不知道的事时,就更容易对未来抱有乐观态度。想想你们刚到麻省理工的第一周吧:那时你们哪里知道,要熬多少个通宵、喝多少罐红牛,才能坐到今天这个位置。你们喝了那么多咖啡因,我都惊讶你们现在还能坐得住。
If you truly understood what would be required, that discouragement might have prevented you from even starting. Sometimes it's an advantage not to be the expert with all the experience. There's no reputational risk. So it's easier to try new things and approach them from a fresh first principles approach. 如果当初完全知道要付出多少,恐怕早就被吓得不敢开始。有时候,缺少专家的经验反而是优势:你不必担心名声受损,因此更容易尝试新事物,用第一性原理重新思考问题。
Naive optimism can also help when faced with a big life decision, when you feel like you want to know the results before you decide, but the true outcome is simply unknowable. Naive optimism means you have the irrational confidence of a child learning to walk or a mom learning to TikTok. And you pick what you think is the best path and just move forward, knowing there's more than one trail that leads to the top of Mount Fuji. 面对重大人生选择时,天真的乐观主义也有帮助。你可能想先知道结果,再决定怎么走,但真正的结果根本无从预知。天真的乐观主义让你拥有学步儿童、或第一次学用 TikTok 的妈妈那种近乎不讲道理的自信:选一条你认为最好的路,就向前走,因为通往富士山顶的道路不止一条。
It's OK that you don't know exactly what you want to be doing 20 years from now or what you want to have accomplished. And by the way, even if you do know, it doesn't matter, because you're wrong. Anyone who tells you they knew where they'd be, where they're at, 20 years ago is either lying, or delusional, or a time-traveler, or Pat Sajak. 不知道二十年后自己想做什么、想取得什么成就,没有关系。顺便说一句,就算你以为自己知道,也没关系,因为你很可能想错了。谁要是说二十年前就知道自己今天会在哪里,那不是撒谎,就是妄想,或者是时间旅行者,或者是帕特·萨杰克。
Life is like trying to cross a big flowing river with lots of rocks and boulders strewn about. If you want to cross the river, you have to start on the bank and look at the first several rocks in front of you. You can wiggle them with your toe and scan a few boulders out. But at some point, you've just got to pick one and jump, because the river is dynamic and always changing. 人生就像渡过一条水流湍急、布满石头的大河。想过河,你得先站在岸边,看看面前几块落脚石。可以用脚尖试试稳不稳,再观察几块石头。但最后总得选一块跳上去,因为河水一直在流,情况也一直在变。
If the first rock in this metaphor is a hobby, let curiosity and passion guide your initial step. If the first rock represents your professional career, take curiosity and passion into account, but you should also weigh what you're good at and what the world needs, even if the world might not know they need it yet. 如果第一块石头代表兴趣爱好,就让好奇心和热情带你迈出第一步。如果它代表职业道路,除了好奇和热情,你还得考虑自己擅长什么、世界需要什么——即使世界眼下还不知道自己需要它。
Whichever one you'd pick, the real secret is to dominate it. Obsessively study it from every angle. Master it. Now, from your position of more secure footing, you can reevaluate the river. And you'll find you've got a few more rocks available that you couldn't even see from where you started, so you could continue on your journey. 不管选哪块石头,真正的秘诀都是全力掌握它。从各个角度钻研,直到精通。等你站稳脚跟,再重新观察这条河,就会发现一些从起点根本看不到的新石头,继续往前走。
Instead of putting the pressure on myself to create some master life plan, this attitude of naive optimism combined with dedication, enthusiasm, and the willingness to jump from my current safe rock to the next is what I feel has led me from college, to NASA, to YouTube, to eventually landing on this rock of giving the commencement speech at MI frickin' T. There's no way I could have predicted that path when I was exactly in your shoes 20 years ago. 我没有逼自己制定一份包办一生的宏伟计划。天真的乐观,加上投入、热情,以及从眼前安全的石头跳向下一块的意愿,让我从大学走进美国国家航空航天局,再走向 YouTube,最后跳到今天这块石头上,在麻省理工——天哪,真是麻省理工——发表毕业演讲。二十年前,像你们一样坐在毕业典礼上时,我根本想不到自己会走出这条路。
So cross your river one rock at a time, but do it with a naive optimism that it's all going to work out. Let that be your North Star. If you actually knew how cold the river can get, or how long it takes to recover from a sprained ankle if you slipped, your knowledge might get in the way. So have faith in yourself. You're about to get a degree from MIT. So you've obviously made some pretty great decisions so far. Embrace your inexperience, and keep taking leaps forward. 所以,一块石头接一块石头地渡过你的人生之河,并天真而乐观地相信事情终会好起来。让它成为你的北极星。如果你事先知道河水有多冷,滑倒扭伤脚踝要多久才能恢复,知识反而可能妨碍你起跳。相信自己吧。你们马上就要拿到麻省理工的学位,说明迄今为止你们已经做过不少好决定。接纳自己的经验不足,继续勇敢地向前跳。
And apologies to all the civil engineering majors who have been grumbling sitting there saying, if he wants to cross this river so bad, why doesn't he just build a suspension bridge? Because it's my metaphor, all right? Back off. 还得向在座的土木工程专业同学道个歉。你们大概一直在嘀咕:他这么想过河,为什么不直接造座吊桥?因为这是我的比喻,行吗?别来拆台。
And now, for some real talk. You're going to take that leap of faith, land on a rock, and only then realize it's not as stable as your foot wiggle had predicted, and you're going to fall into the river sometimes. That leads to my second of three pieces of advice to maximize your chance of positively impacting the world and making the video cut, which is to frame your failures. Ah. You can tell, it's the juicy part, because the music's back. 现在说点严肃的。你满怀信心地跃出,落到一块石头上,才发现它没有脚尖试探时想的那么稳,有时你会掉进河里。这就引出我的第二条建议,帮助你们更有机会给世界带来积极影响、进入三十年后那支视频:重新看待失败。啊,你们听,音乐又响了,说明精彩部分到了。
To illustrate what I mean by this, I asked 50,000 of my YouTube followers that subscribe to my channel to play a simple computer programming puzzle that I made. But what they didn't know is that I had served up two slightly different versions of the puzzle. In one, if you failed the puzzle, you didn't lose any of your starting 200 points, and you were prompted to try again. Whereas in the other, if you didn't succeed, you were also prompted to try again, but I said I was taking away five of those starting 200 points. That was the only difference. 为了说明这一点,我请五万名订阅我频道的观众来玩一个简单的编程谜题。他们不知道的是,我提供了两个略有不同的版本。在一个版本里,解题失败不会扣除最初的二百分,只会提示再试一次。另一个版本也会提示重试,但每失败一次,我就说要从起始分数里扣五分。差别仅此而已。
And even though they were of no value in the real world, no one will ever see these completely fake meaningless internet points, those who didn't lose those points attempted to solve the puzzle two and a half times more and saw success 16% more of the time. And because 50,000 people took the test, those results are super statistically significant. Basically, those who didn't frame losing in a negative light stuck with it for longer, saw more success, and learned more. 虽然这些虚构的网络分数在现实中毫无价值,也不会有别人看到,没有被扣分的人尝试解题的次数却是另一组的两倍半,成功率也高出百分之十六。五万人参与了测试,所以这个结果在统计上非常显著。简单说,没有从负面角度看待失败的人坚持得更久,取得了更多成功,也学到了更多。
And I think a great example of this in real life is video games. When Super Mario Brothers first came out, my friends and I became obsessed with making it to the castle and rescuing Princess Peach from the evil Bowser. Water break. We'd get to school and ask each other, dude, what level did you make it to? Did you pass the game? We never asked each other for details on all the different ways we might have died. This was before Call of Duty. 电子游戏就是现实中很好的例子。《超级马力欧兄弟》刚推出时,我和朋友都着了迷,一心想到城堡里从邪恶的库巴手中救出碧姬公主。喝口水。我们到了学校会问彼此:“嘿,你打到哪一关了?通关了吗?”我们从不会追问对方死过多少次、怎么死的。那时《使命召唤》还没有出现。
When it comes to video games like this, no one ever picks up the controller for the first time, falls in the pit right away, and thinks, I'm so ashamed. That was such a failure. I'm never doing this again. How am I going to break it to Luigi? I murdered his brother. What really happens is you think, OK, I got to remember, there's a pit there. Next time, I'm going to come at it with a bit more speed. The focus and obsession is about beating the game, not how dumb you might look if you get hit by a sliding green shell. 玩这样的游戏时,没人第一次拿起手柄就掉进坑里,然后想:“太丢脸了,这次失败太惨了,我再也不玩了。该怎么向路易吉交代?我害死了他哥哥!”你真正会想的是:“好,记住这里有个坑,下次跑快一点。”你关注的是怎样通关,而不是被一只滑过来的绿龟壳撞到时看起来有多傻。
And as a direct result of that attitude, of learning from but not being focused on the failures, we got really good and learned a ton in a very short amount of time. 正因为我们从失败中学习,却不把注意力困在失败上,短短一段时间里,我们就变得很擅长游戏,也学到了很多。
And in my personal and work life, I've dealt with my share of sliding green shells. I still feel like every video we make each month there's a moment where it seems everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. And those failures can be gut-wrenching. And they can sting real bad. But they sting like missing that one key Mario long-jump right at the end of level 8-1. And then, right after that, really quickly it turns in, OK, what did we just learn from that? What should we try differently for next time? 在生活和工作中,我也碰过不少“滑过来的绿龟壳”。几乎每个月做视频,都会有那么一刻,感觉能出错的地方全都出了错。失败令人心痛,刺痛感也很真切,就像在《马力欧》8-1关快结束时错过关键的一次远跳。但没过多久,念头就会变成:“好,这次学到了什么?下次该怎么做?”
And this concept of life gamification is more than just “have a positive attitude” or “never give up.” Because those imply you have to fight against your true desire to quit. And I feel like when you frame a challenge or a learning process in this way, you actually want to do it. It feels natural to ignore the failure and try again. 把生活当成游戏来看待,不只是喊“保持积极”或“永不放弃”。那些说法仿佛意味着,你必须和内心想退出的冲动作斗争。而当你这样理解挑战或学习过程时,你会真心想继续做下去。忽略一次失败,再试一次,会变得自然而然。
In the same way a toddler will want to keep trying to stand up, or in the same way you want to keep playing Super Mario Brothers, or in the same way half the people who attempted my coding puzzle had a desire to stick with it two and a half times longer. The framing of their failures made it so they wanted to keep trying and learning. 就像幼儿想要一次次站起来,就像你想继续玩《超级马力欧兄弟》,也像参加我编程谜题测试的那一半人,愿意多尝试两倍半的次数。他们看待失败的方式,让他们愿意继续尝试、继续学习。
And that's exactly why the most meaningful high-fives of my adolescence were when I said, dude, I finally beat Bowser last night. It probably goes without saying, but girls didn't talk to me till I was much older. And in case you're like, yeah, but my real life would just be so much better if my top five challenges disappear. Would it? I'd like to point out that if Super Mario Brothers was just jumping over one pit, and then you rescued Princess Peach, no one would play it. Where's the risk and the reward? Where's the challenge? There's no ultimate feeling of satisfaction. 因此,我少年时代最痛快的击掌,是对朋友说“伙计,我昨晚终于打败库巴了”的时候。不用说也知道,那时还没有女孩愿意跟我聊天。有人也许会想:“如果生活中最棘手的五个问题消失,我肯定会过得更好。”真是这样吗?要是《超级马力欧兄弟》只要跳过一个坑就能救出碧姬公主,根本没人会玩。风险和回报在哪里?挑战在哪里?那种最终胜利的满足感又在哪里?
The degree you're getting today means so much to you precisely because of all the struggle and setbacks that you've had to endure. If you want to cross the river of life, you're going to get wet. You're going to have to backtrack. And that's not a bug, that's a feature. Frame those failures and slips like a video game. And not only will you learn more and do it faster, but it will make all the successful jumps along the way that much sweeter. 你们今天拿到的学位之所以如此珍贵,恰恰因为一路上经历了挣扎和挫折。要渡过人生之河,就难免弄湿衣服,也难免走回头路。这不是程序漏洞,而是它本来就有的设计。像玩电子游戏那样看待失败和失足,你不仅能学得更多、更快,沿途每一次成功跃进也会更加甜美。
All right, now, I've got some good news, which is that you're not crossing the river alone. For my third and final bit of advice is to foster your relationships. Nice. 好消息是,你们并不是独自过河。我的第三条,也是最后一条建议,是用心经营人际关系。不错,音乐又配上了。
A sad truth about getting older is life gets busier and busier. And it gets harder and harder to make really close friends like you did here at school. And this isn't great, because we evolved to be social cooperative creatures. 50,000 years ago, conditions were much harsher. So those who were more inclined to cooperate with their fellow humans were also much more likely to succeed and pass on those cooperation genes. So we've inherited these brains designed for social interaction. And we are hardwired to cooperate with other people. 长大后有个令人遗憾的事实:生活越来越忙,想像在学校里那样交到亲密朋友,也越来越难。这并不好,因为人类在演化中形成了群居合作的本性。五万年前,生存条件更严酷,愿意与同伴合作的人更可能活下来,并把这种倾向传给后代。我们因此拥有适合社交的大脑,天生倾向于与人合作。
And, look, I don't blame you if you want to cast aside advice from a guy who makes a living trying to outwit squirrels. But I wouldn't recommend doing that to six million years of evolutionary programming. Because in today's society, it's really convenient just to isolate yourself. You can attend the board meeting from your kitchen table. You can order food in the shower. You can bank on the toilet. You can even look for a new apartment without leaving your apartment. It's easier to stay anonymous in our big cities versus the small tribes of our ancestors where everyone knew each other. 我不怪你们想把一个靠智斗松鼠谋生的人的建议抛到脑后。但我不建议你们无视数百万年演化留下的本能。如今,一个人把自己隔离起来太方便了:在厨房餐桌旁参加董事会,在淋浴时点餐,坐在马桶上办银行业务,甚至足不出户就能找下一套公寓。在大城市里匿名生活,也比在人人相识的小部落里容易得多。
Which means we've got to actively work at fostering meaningful relationships. And because I know this can be harder for some more than others, here's a life fact I've found that really helps. Confirmation bias is when your brain ignores evidence that doesn't support your beliefs. And then it cherry-picks the evidence that does. 所以我们必须主动经营有意义的关系。我知道这对有些人尤其难,这里有个我发现很有用的心理现象。“确认偏误”是指,大脑会忽略不符合既有看法的证据,却挑出支持它的证据。
And, generally, when people hear this term, they think it's a broken unscientific way for our brains to approach the world. And this is true. But you could judo-flip it to your advantage. The trick is to positively apply confirmation bias to your relationships. 人们通常认为,这是一种不科学的思维缺陷。确实如此,但你可以把它翻过来,为自己所用。诀窍就是把确认偏误正面地用在人际关系上。
If you assume good intentions on the part of your friends and family, and you tell yourself you're lucky to have them, your brain will naturally work to find evidence to support that. That's just how our brains work. If you tell yourself that your fellow humans are inherently good, your brain will find examples of it everywhere. And that will reinforce your outlook. The opposite, unfortunately, is also true. 如果你相信亲友出于好意,也告诉自己有他们相伴很幸运,大脑就会自然地寻找证据支持这一想法。大脑就是这样运作的。如果你相信身边的人本性善良,大脑便会处处发现例子,让这种看法越来越牢固。遗憾的是,反过来也一样。
Basically, whether you think the world and everyone in it is out to hurt you or help you, you're right. Studies have shown that the best predictor of divorce is if the couple assumes bad intentions in their partner's actions, or if you marry Kanye. 基本上,无论你认为这个世界和其中的人想伤害你,还是想帮助你,你都会找到证据证明自己“没错”。有研究发现,最能预示离婚的迹象,是夫妻把对方的行为都往坏处想——或者你跟坎耶结婚。
But if you get it in your head that your partner is selfish, or inconsiderate, or willfully refusing to take out the garbage, that creates a negative feedback loop of confirmation bias, seeking to find further evidence that your spouse is a jerk, even when good faith efforts are being made. 如果你认定伴侣自私、不体贴、故意不倒垃圾,就会陷入确认偏误的恶性循环:即使对方真心想改,你也会继续找证据证明他是个混蛋。
And this hack works not just for spouses, friends, and family, but even total strangers who might infuriate you. And, look, I agree with you, they're wrong. But don't forget, as George Carlin pointed out, anyone who's driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone driving faster than you is a maniac. 这个方法不只适用于伴侣、朋友和家人,也适用于那些让你恼火的陌生人。我知道,你觉得他们确实不对。不过别忘了乔治·卡林说过的话:开得比你慢的人都是笨蛋,开得比你快的人都是疯子。
Fostering your relationship closes out my list of three bits of advice, because that may be where your impact is the greatest. Due to a challenging upbringing, my mom barely graduated high school. But she took being a mom and instilling values in her children really seriously. As such, she's the single biggest influence on my life by far. She passed away over a decade ago from ALS, six months before I ever released my first YouTube video. 我把经营人际关系放在三条建议的最后,因为你们最深远的影响,可能恰恰发生在这里。我的母亲童年经历坎坷,勉强读完高中。但她非常认真地做母亲,努力把自己的价值观传给孩子。因此,她是对我影响最大的人。她在十多年前因肌萎缩侧索硬化症去世,那时距我发布第一支 YouTube 视频还有六个月。
But I love the idea that the ripples from her influence are still being felt as strongly as they ever have through the work that I try and do today. If there's anything I've said today has resonated with you in my mind, it's a direct result of her commitment to this third piece of advice. 但我喜欢这样想:她的影响像涟漪一样,至今仍通过我努力做的事不断扩散。如果我今天说的某句话打动了你,在我看来,那直接源于她对经营亲密关系的投入。
So leverage confirmation bias to enhance your relationships as you cooperate to cross the river. Train your brain to assume good intentions. And try to remember if someone cuts you off on the freeway, maybe they're not out to get you. Maybe they just have diarrhea. 所以,在大家携手渡河时,不妨善用确认偏误,增进彼此的关系。训练自己先相信别人出于好意。下次有人在高速公路上突然变道挡了你的路,试着想想:他可能不是故意针对你,也许只是急着找厕所。
Now, for piece of advice number four, engage in occasional playful anarchy. But, Mark, you told us you were only going to give us three pieces of advice. Boom! Here's a fourth, because, why not? I am playing music in a commencement speech because why not? Isn't ending your speech with pump-up music just objectively better? Or like how these graduation robes and hats are just objectively silly? Why shouldn't I take my own fourth piece of advice right now and engage in some playful anarchy? 现在说第四条建议:偶尔来点顽皮的“无政府主义”。“马克,你不是说只有三条吗?”砰!这就有第四条了,因为为什么不呢?我在毕业演讲中放音乐,为什么不呢?用一段振奋人心的音乐结束演讲,难道不是更好吗?毕业袍和学士帽本来就有点滑稽,我为什么不立刻实践自己的第四条建议,玩点出格的花样?
Anybody can toss their hat in the air. We see it at every graduation. But few have dared to make it actually fly. I bet Buzz Aldrin never tried this. You know what? Time out. This is actually a great opportunity to review everything we just talked about. 谁都能把帽子抛向空中。每场毕业典礼都看得到。但很少有人敢让帽子真的飞起来。我敢说巴兹·奥尔德林都没试过。等一下,这正好是回顾刚才所说内容的机会。
To my first point, I will embrace my naive optimism that my hat will actually get airborne. But if not, to my second point, if it goes haywire, and I accidentally blow up E-53, I can reframe the failure as an opportunity to renovate a very old and sketchy building. Maybe this time we'll even add a few windows. And then, to my third point, when I get sued by the faculty, I will foster the relationship I have with my defense lawyers. Because settling with MIT over damages will bring us all closer together. 首先,我要怀着天真的乐观,相信帽子真能升空。其次,如果出了岔子,不小心炸了 E-53 楼,我可以把失败重新看成翻修一栋又老又破的楼的机会。说不定这次还能多装几扇窗。第三,如果我被老师们告上法庭,我会好好经营与辩护律师的关系。毕竟,和麻省理工就损失达成和解,会让我们彼此更亲近。
And so, now, after turning on my hat, I've done my part and filmed a banger of an intro to our upcoming collab 30 years from now. Which means all that's left to do is your part, to go out and change the world for the better. Congratulations, MIT class of 2023. You totally got this. Thank you. 现在帽子已经启动,我也完成了自己的任务:为三十年后我们合作的视频拍好了精彩片头。剩下就看你们了——走出去,让世界变得更好。祝贺麻省理工学院2023届毕业生。你们一定行。谢谢。
