名校勵志英語演講 第134期:敢于競爭 勇于關愛(1)

[00:00.01]It is such an honor and pleasure for me to be back at Yale, especially on the occasion of the 300th anniversary. 再回耶魯，特別是在耶魯大學300周年紀念日再回到這里，我感到非常高興非常榮幸！ [00:09.13]I have had so many memories of my time here, and as Nick was speaking I thought about how I ended up at Yale Law School. 耶魯大學給我留下了許多美好的回憶，尼克發(fā)言時，我想起了當年從耶魯法學院畢業(yè)時的情景。 [00:18.06] And it tells a little bit about how much progress we've made. 這讓我感受到了耶魯大學所取得的巨大進步。 [00:22.54]What I think most about when I think of Yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere 每當想起耶魯時，我感觸最深的不是這里濃郁的政治氛圍， [00:29.58]and not even just the superb legal education that I received. 也不是我所接受的頂級的法律教育。 [00:34.16]It was at Yale that I began work that has been at the core of what I have cared about ever since. 正是在耶魯，我開始做一些事情，這些事情從那時到現(xiàn)在都是我關心的核心。 [00:42.41]I began working with New Haven legal services representing children. 正是在耶魯，我開始在紐黑文兒童法律機構工作。 [00:47.45]And I studied child development, abuse and neglect at the Yale New Haven Hospital and the Child Study Center. 我還在耶魯紐黑文醫(yī)院和兒童研究中心研究兒童身心發(fā)展以及辱罵和忽視兒童的行為。 [00:56.29]I was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with Marian Wright Edelman 之后，我很幸運地與瑪麗安·萊特·埃德爾一起獲得了 [01:02.37]at the Children's Defense Fund, where I went to work after I graduated. 在兒童保護基金委員會的民權實習機會，并在畢業(yè)后去了那里工作。 [01:07.44]Those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children, particularly the most vulnerable. 所有這些經歷激發(fā)了我為保護兒童權益而努力的激情，特別是保護那些最脆弱的兒童。 [01:16.42]Now, looking back, there is no way that I could have predicted what path my life would have taken. 現(xiàn)在回想起來，當時我并不知道自己會走上什么樣的人生道路。 [01:25.54]I didn't sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, 我沒有坐在法學院里說：“嗯，你知道， [01:29.58]I think I'll graduate and then I'll go to work at the Children's Defense Fund, 我想我畢業(yè)后要去兒童保護基金委員會工作， [01:35.15]and then the impeachment inquiry, and Nixon retired or resigns, I'll go to Arkansas. 然后會遭到彈劾并接受調查，當尼克松退休或辭職后我會去阿肯色州。” [01:42.16]I didn't think like that. I was taking each day at a time. 事實上，我從未這樣想過，只是順其自然地過著每一天。
