the president: good morning! (applause.) good morning,everybody! everybody,please have aseat. have a seat.

well, on behalf of michelle andmyself, welcome to the white house. thisis one of myfavorite events every year, especially special this year, as ilook at this e_traordinary group ofindividuals and our opportunity to honorthem with our nation’s highest civilian honor -- thepresidential medal offreedom.

and this year, it’s just a littlemore special because this marks the 50th anniversary ofpresident kennedyestablishing this award. we’re honored,by the way, today to have with us oneof my favorite people -- ethel kennedy --and a pretty good basketball player, presidentkennedy’s grandson, jack. (applause.)

this medal has been bestowed onmore than 500 deserving people. tonight,i’m lookingforward to joining some of these honorees, as well as members ofthe kennedy family, as we paytribute to these 50 years of e_cellence. and this morning, we’re honored to add 16 newnamesto this distinguished list.

today, we salute fiercecompetitors who became true champions. in the sweltering heat of achicago summer, ernie banks walked into thecubs locker room and didn’t like what he saw. “everybody was sitting around, heads down, depressed,” he recalled. so ernie piped up andsaid, “boy, what agreat day! let’s play two!” (laughter.) that’s “mr. cub” -- a man who cameup through the negro leagues, making$7 a day, and became the first black player to suit up forthe cubs and one ofthe greatest hitters of all time. and inthe process, ernie became known asmuch for his 512 home runs as for his cheerand his optimism and his eternal faith thatsomeday the cubs would go all theway. (laughter.)

and that's serious belief. (laughter.) that is something that even a white so_ fan like mecan respect. (laughter.) but he is just a wonderful man and a great icon of my hometown.

speaking of sports, dean smith isone of the winningest coaches in college basketballhistory, but his successesgo far beyond _s and os. even as he won78 percent of his games, hegraduated 96 percent of his players. the first coach to use multiple defenses in agame, hewas the pioneer who popularized the idea of “pointing to the passer”-- after a basket, playersshould point to the teammate who passed them theball. and with his first national titleon theline, he did have the good sense to give the ball to a 19-year-old kidnamed michael jordan. (laughter.) although they used to joke that the onlyperson who ever held michael under 20 wasdean smith. (laughter.)

while coach smith couldn’t joinus today due to an illness that he’s facing withe_traordinary courage, we alsohonor his courage in helping to change our country -- herecruited the firstblack scholarship athlete to north carolina and helped to integratearestaurant and a neighborhood in chapel hill. that's the kind of character that he representedon and off the court.

we salute innovators who pushedthe limits of science, changing how we see the world --and ourselves. and growing up, sally ride read about thespace program in the newspaperalmost every day, and she thought this was “thecoolest thing around.” when she was aphdcandidate at stanford she saw an ad for astronauts in the student newspaperand she seizedthe opportunity. as thefirst american woman in space, sally didn’t just break thestratospheric glassceiling, she blasted through it. andwhen she came back to earth, shedevoted her life to helping girls e_cel infields like math, science and engineering. “young girlsneed to see role models,” she said, “you can’t be what youcan’t see.” today, our daughters --includingmalia and sasha -- can set their sights a little bit higher because sally rideshowedthem the way.

now, all of us have moments whenwe look back and wonder, “what the heck was ithinking?” i have that -- (laughter) -- quite abit. psychologist daniel kahneman hasmade thatsimple question his life’s work. in a storied career in israel and america, he basically inventedthestudy of human decision-making. he’shelped us to understand everything from behavioraleconomics to “does living incalifornia make people happy?” it’s aninteresting question. he’salso beencalled an e_pert on irrational behavior -- so i'm sure that he could shed somelight onwashington. (laughter.)

but what truly sets daniel apartis his curiosity. guided by his beliefthat people are“endlessly complicated and interesting,” at 79 he’s stilldiscovering new insights into how wethink and learn, not just so we understandeach other, but so we can work and live togethermore effectively.

dr. mario molina’s love of sciencestarted as a young boy in me_ico city, in a homemadelaboratory in a bathroomat home. and that passion for discoveryled mario to become one ofthe most respected chemists of his era. he was awarded the nobel peace prize -- orthe nobelprize, rather, not only for his path-breaking research, but also forhis insistence that when weignore dangerous carbon emissions we riskdestroying the ozone layer and endangering ourplanet. and thanks to mario’s work, the world cametogether to address a common threat, andtoday, inspired by his e_ample, we’reworking to leave our planet safer and cleaner for futuregenerations.

we also have to salute musicians,who bring such joy to our lives. lorettalynn was 19 thefirst time she won the big -- she won big at the localfair. her canned vegetables broughthome17 blue ribbons -- (laughter) -- and made her “canner of the year.”(laughter.) now, that’simpressive. (laughter.)

for a girl from butcher hollow,kentucky, that was fame. fortunately forall of us, shedecided to try her hand at things other than canning. her first guitar cost $17, and with itthiscoal miner’s daughter gave voice to a generation, singing what no one wanted totalk aboutand saying what no one wanted to think about. and now, over 50 years after she cut herfirstrecord -- and canned her first vegetables -- (laughter) -- loretta lynnstill reigns as the rule-breaking, record-setting queen of country music.

as a young man in cuba, arturosandoval loved jazz so much it landed him in jail. it wasthe cold war, and the only radiostation where he could hear jazz was the voice of america,which was dangerousto listen to. but arturo listenedanyway. later, he defected to theunitedstates knowing he might never see his parents or beloved homeland again. “withoutfreedom,” he said, “there is nolife.” and today, arturo is an americancitizen and one of the mostcelebrated trumpet players in the world. “there isn’t any place on earth where thepeopledon’t know about jazz,” he says, and that’s true in part becausemusicians like him havesacrificed so much to play it.

we salute pioneers who pushed ournation towards greater justice and equality. a baptistminister, c.t. vivian was one of dr. martin luther king, jr.’sclosest advisors. “martin taught us,”hesays, “that it’s in the action that we find out who we really are.” and time and again,reverend vivian was amongthe first to be in the action: in 1947,joining a sit-in to integrate anillinois restaurant; one of the first freedomriders; in selma, on the courthouse steps toregister blacks to vote, for whichhe was beaten, bloodied and jailed. rosaparks said of him, “even after things had supposedly been taken care of and wehad our rights, he was still outthere, inspiring the ne_t generation,including me,” helping kids go to college with a programthat would becomeupward bound. and at 89 years old,reverend vivian is still out there, still inthe action, pushing us closer toour founding ideals.

now, early in the morning the dayof the march on washington, the national mall was farfrom full and some in thepress were beginning to wonder if the event would be a failure. butthe march’s chief organizer, bayardrustin, didn’t panic. as the story goes,he looked down at apiece of paper, looked back up, and reassured reportersthat everything was right on schedule.the only thing those reporters didn’t know was that the paper he washolding was blank. (laughter.) he didn’t know how it was going to work out,but bayard had an unshakableoptimism, nerves of steel, and, most importantly,a faith that if the cause is just and people areorganized, nothing can standin our way.

so, for decades, this greatleader, often at dr. king’s side, was denied his rightful place inhistorybecause he was openly gay. no medal canchange that, but today, we honor bayardrustin’s memory by taking our place inhis march towards true equality, no matter who we areor who we love. (applause.)

speaking of game-changers,disrupters, there was a young girl names gloria steinem whoarrived in new yorkto make her mark as a journalist, and magazines only wanted to writearticleslike “how to cook without really cooking for men.” (laughter.) gloria noticed things likethat. (laughter.) she’s been called a “championnoticer.” she’s alert to all the ways,large andsmall, that women had been and, in some cases, continue to be treatedunfairly just becausethey’re women.

as a writer, a speaker, anactivist, she awakened a vast and often skeptical public toproblems likedomestic violence, the lack of affordable child care, unfair hiringpractices. andbecause of her work,across america and around the world, more women are afforded the respectandopportunities that they deserve. but shealso changed how women thought aboutthemselves. and gloria continues to pour her heart intoteaching and mentoring. her one pieceofadvice to young girls is -- i love this -- “do not listen to my advice. listen to the voice insideyou and follow that.”

when patricia wald’s law firmasked if she’d come back after having her first child, she saidshe’d like sometime off to focus on her family -- devoted almost 10 years to raisingfivechildren. but patricia never lost theitch to practice law. so while herhusband watched thekids at home, she’d hit the library on weekends. at the age 40, she went back to thecourtroomto show the “young kids” a thing or two. as the first female judge on the d.c. circuit,patricia was a topcandidate for attorney general. afterleaving the bench, her idea of retirementwas to go to the hague to presideover the trials of war criminals. patricia says she hopesenough women will become judges that “it’s notworth celebrating” anymore. but today,wecelebrate her. and along with gloria,she shows there are all kinds of paths listening to yourown voice.

we salute communicators whoshined a light on stories no one else was telling. a veteran ofworld war ii and more than adozen pacific battles, ben bradlee brought the same intensityand dedication tojournalism. since joining the washingtonpost 65 years ago, he transformedthat newspaper into one of the finest in theworld. with ben in charge, the postpublished thepentagon papers, revealing the true history of america’sinvolvement in vietnam; e_posedwatergate; unleashed a new era of investigativejournalism, holding america’s leadersaccountable and reminding us that ourfreedom as a nation rests on our freedom of the press.when ben retired, senator daniel patrickmoynihan put the admiration of many into a poem: “o rare ben bradlee/his reign has ceased/buthis nation stands/its strength increased.”

and i also indicated to ben hecan pull off those shirts and i can't. (laughter.) he alwayslooks socool in them. (laughter.)

early in oprah winfrey’s career,her bosses told her she should change her name to susie. (laughter.) i have to pause here to say i got the same advice. (laughter and applause.) theydidn't say i should be named “susie,”but they suggested i should change my name. (laughter.)people can relate tosusie, that's what they said. it turnedout, surprisingly, that people couldrelate to oprah just fine.

in more than 4,500 episodes ofher show, her message was always, “you can.” “you can doand you can be and you can grow and it can be better.” and she was living proof, rising fromachildhood of poverty and abuse to the pinnacle of the entertainmentuniverse. but even with40 emmys, thedistinction of being the first black female billionaire, oprah’s greateststrengthhas always been her ability to help us discover the best inourselves. michelle and icountourselves among her many devoted fans and friends. as one of those fans wrote, “i didn’tknow ihad a light in me until oprah told me it was there.” what a great gift.

and, finally, we salute publicservants who’ve strengthened our nation. daniel inouye wasa humble man and didn’t wear his medal of honor veryoften. instead, he liked to wear apinrepresenting the good conduct medal he earned as a teenage private. “to behave yourselftakes special effort,” hesaid, “and i did not want to dishonor my family.” danny always honoredhis family and hiscountry, even when his country didn’t always honor him.

after being classified as an “enemyalien,” danny joined a japanese american unit thatbecame one of the mostdecorated in world war ii. and as thesecond-longest serving senatorin american history, he showed a generation ofyoung people -- including one kid with a funnyname growing up in hawaii whonoticed that there was somebody during some of those hearingsin washingtonthat didn't look like everybody else, which meant maybe i had a chance todosomething important, too. he taught allof us that no matter what you look like or where youcome from, this countryhas a place for everybody who’s willing to serve and work hard.

a proud hoosier, dick lugar hasserved america for more than half a century, from a youngnavy lieutenant to arespected leader in the united states senate. i’ll always be thankful to dickfor taking me -- a new, junior senator-- under his wing, including travels together to reviewsome of his visionarywork, the destruction of cold war arsenals in the former soviet union --something that doesn’t get a lot of publicnotice, but was absolutely critical to making us saferin the wake of the coldwar.

now, i should say, traveling withdick you get close to une_ploded landmines, mortar shells,test tubes filledwith anthra_ and the plague. (laughter.) his legacy, though, is the thousandsofmissiles and bombers and submarines and warheads that no longer threaten usbecause of hise_traordinary work. andour nation and our world are safer because of this statesman. and in atime ofunrelenting partisanship, dick lugar’s decency, his commitment tobipartisanproblem-solving, stand as a model of what public service ought to be.

now, last, but never least, wehonor a leader who we still remember with suche_traordinary fondness. he still remembers as a child waving goodbyeto his mom -- tears inher eyes -- as she went off to nursing school so shecould provide for her family. and ithinklifting up families like his own became the story of bill clinton’slife. he remembered what hismom had todo on behalf of him and he wanted to make sure that he made life better andeasierfor so many people all across the country that were struggling in thosesame ways and had thosesame hopes and dreams. so as a governor, he transformed education so more kids couldpursuethose dreams. as president, he provedthat, with the right choices, you could grow theeconomy, lift people out ofpoverty. we could shrink our deficitsand still invest in our families,our health, our schools, science,technology. in other words, we can gofarther when we look outfor each other.

and as we’ve all seen, aspresident, he was just getting started. he doesn’t stop. he’s helpedleadrelief efforts after the asian tsunami, hurricane katrina, the haiti earthquake. hisfoundation and global initiative havehelped to save or improve the lives of literally hundredsof millions ofpeople. and, of course, i am mostgrateful for his patience during the endlesstravels of my secretary ofstate. (laughter.)

so i’m grateful, bill, as wellfor the advice and counsel that you’ve offered me on and offthe golfcourse. (laughter.) and most importantly, for your lifesavingwork around the world,which represents what’s the very best in america. so thank you so much, president clinton. (applause.)

so these are the recipients ofthe 2023 presidential medal of freedom. these are the menand women who in their e_traordinary lives remind usall of the beauty of the human spirit,the values that define us as americans,the potential that lives inside of all of us. i could notbe more happy and more honored to participate in thisceremony here today.

with that, what i would like todo is invite our honorees to just sit there and let all of usstand and giveyou a big round of applause. (applause.)

i guess we should actually givethem the medals, though. (laughter.) where are my --herewe go. lee, you want to hit it?

我的思想，我的主張完全見(jiàn)于我所寫的王國(guó)維紀(jì)念碑中。

王國(guó)維死后，學(xué)生劉節(jié)等請(qǐng)我撰文紀(jì)念。

當(dāng)時(shí)正值國(guó)民黨統(tǒng)一時(shí)，立碑時(shí)間有案可查。

在當(dāng)時(shí)，清華校長(zhǎng)是羅家倫，是二陳派去的，眾所周知。

我當(dāng)時(shí)是清華研究院導(dǎo)師，認(rèn)為王國(guó)維是近世學(xué)術(shù)界最主要的人物，故撰文來(lái)昭示天下后世研究學(xué)問(wèn)的人，特別是研究史學(xué)的人。

我認(rèn)為研究學(xué)術(shù)，最主要的是要具有自由的意志和獨(dú)立的精神，所以我說(shuō)

“士之讀書治學(xué)，蓋將一脫心志于俗諦之桎梏。”

“俗諦”在當(dāng)時(shí)即指三民主義而言。

必須脫掉“俗諦之桎梏”，真理才能發(fā)揮，受“俗諦之桎梏”，沒(méi)有自由思想，沒(méi)有獨(dú)立精神，即不能發(fā)揚(yáng)真理，即不能研究學(xué)術(shù)。

學(xué)說(shuō)有無(wú)錯(cuò)誤，這是可以商量的，我對(duì)于王國(guó)維即是如此。

王國(guó)維的學(xué)說(shuō)中，也有錯(cuò)的，如關(guān)于蒙古史上的一些問(wèn)題，我認(rèn)為就可以商量。

我的學(xué)說(shuō)也有錯(cuò)誤，也可以商量，個(gè)人之間的爭(zhēng)吵，不必芥蒂。

我、你都應(yīng)該如此。

我寫王國(guó)維詩(shī)，中間罵了梁任公，給梁任公看，梁任公只笑了笑，不以為芥蒂。

我對(duì)胡適也罵過(guò)。但對(duì)于獨(dú)立精神，自由思想，我認(rèn)為是最重要的，所以我說(shuō)

“唯此獨(dú)立之精神，自由之思想，歷千萬(wàn)祀，與天壤而同久，共三光而永光。”

我認(rèn)為王國(guó)維之死，不關(guān)與羅振玉之恩怨，不關(guān)滿清之滅亡，其一死乃以見(jiàn)其獨(dú)立自由之意志。

獨(dú)立精神和自由意志是必須爭(zhēng)的，且須以生死力爭(zhēng)。

正如詞文所示，

“思想而不自由，毋寧死耳。斯古今仁圣同殉之精義，夫豈庸鄙之敢望。”

一切都是小事，惟此是大事。

碑文中所持之宗旨，至今并未改易。

sunny ways, my friends, sunny ways. this is whatpositive politics can do. this is what a causative,hopeful – a hopeful vision and a platform and ateam together can make happen. canadians –canadians from all across this great country sent aclear message tonight. it's time for a change in thiscountry, my friends, a real change.

i also want to specifically thank my good friendskatie telford and gerald butts. katie and gerry aretwo of the smartest, toughest, hardest workingpeople you will find anywhere. they share with me the conviction that politics doesn't have tobe negative and personal to be successful, that – that you can appeal to the better angels ofour nature, and you can win while doing it.

tonight, my very good friends, we proved that. i hope it is an inspiration to like-mindedpeople to step up and pitch in, to get involved in the public life of this country and to knowthat a positive, optimistic, hopeful vision of public life isn't a naive dream; it can be apowerful force for change.

and i also want to thank the incredible volunteers that made tonight happen. over 80,000canadians got involved in the core of this campaign. they knocked on their neighbours' doors.they made phone calls. they sent emails. hundreds of thousands more supported us activelywith their friends and online. they convinced their neighbours and their families. and all ofthese people had one thing in common: they care deeply about their families, theircommunities and their country. they believe that better is possible and that active citizens canplay a real part in making it happen.

now, this movement we've built was fuelled by these amazing volunteers, and from thebottom of my heart, i thank you.

now, i want to take a moment to speak about my colleagues across the aisle. tonight, ireceived phone calls from all of them, including from mr. harper. stephen harper has servedthis country for a decade, and as with anyone who has devoted their life to this country, wethank him for his service.

now, over the course of this campaign, i had the opportunity to have a couple of briefpersonal conversations with him about our families. it reminded me of the e_traordinary andunique sacrifices that are made by anybody who serves this country at the highest levels, and iwant to remind everyone, as i've said many times over the course of this campaign:conservatives are not our enemies, they're our neighbours. leadership is about bringing peopleof all different perspectives together.

now, you're all going to hear a lot tonight and tomorrow about me and about our campaign.lots of people are going to have lots of opinions about why we were successful. well, for threeyears, we had a very old-fashioned strategy. we met with and talked with as many canadiansas we could, and we listened. we won this election because we listened. we did the hard workof slogging it across the country. we met with hundreds of people in the dead of winter in thearctic and with thousands of people in brampton in the middle of this campaign.

you built this platform. you built this movement. you told us what you need to be successful.you told us what kind of government you want, and we built the plan to make it happen. incoffee shops and in town halls, in church basements and in gurdwaras, you gathered. you spenttime together with us, and you told us about the kind of country you want to build and leave toyour children.

over the past three years, you told us what you're going through. you told us that it's gettingharder and harder to make ends meet, let alone to get ahead. you told us you're worried aboutwhether you'll be able to afford a dignified retirement. you told us that your communities needinvestment. you told us you need a fair shot at better jobs. you are the inspiration for ourefforts. you are the reason why we worked so hard to be here tonight, and you will be at theheart of this new government.

so my message to you tonight, my fellow citizens, is simple: have faith in yourselves and inyour country, know that we can make anything happen if we set our minds to it and work hard.

i didn't make history tonight, you did. and don't let anyone tell you any differently. i know thati am on stage tonight for one reason and one reason only: because you put me here. and yougave me clear marching orders. you want a government that works as hard as you do, one thatis focused every minute of every day on growing the economy, creating jobs and strengtheningthe middle class, one that is devoted to helping less fortunate canadian families work theirway into the middle class.

you want a prime minister who knows canada is a country strong, not in spite of ourdifferences, but because of them, a pm who never seeks to divide canadians, but takes everysingle opportunity to bring us together. you want a prime minister who knows that ifcanadians are to trust their government, their government needs to trust canadians, a pm whounderstands that openness and transparency means better, smarter decisions. you want aprime minister that knows that a renewed nation-to-nation relationship with indigenouspeoples that respects rights and honours treaties must be the basis for how we work to closethe gap and walk forward together.

canadians – canadians have spoken. you want a government with a vision and an agenda forthis country that is positive and ambitious and hopeful. well, my friends, i promise youtonight that i will lead that government. i will make that vision a reality. i will be that primeminister.

in this election, 1,792 canadians stepped up, put their names on ballots and on lawn signsand ran for office. three hundred and thirty-eight of them were chosen by you to be their voicesin ottawa, and i pledge tonight that i will listen to all of them.

there are a thousand stories i could share with you about this remarkable campaign, but iwant you to think about one in particular. last week, i met a young mom in st. catharines,ontario. she practises the muslim faith and was wearing a hijab. she made her way through thecrowd and handed me her infant daughter, and as she leaned forward, she said something thati will never forget. she said she's voting for us because she wants to make sure that her littlegirl has the right to make her own choices in life and that our government will protect thoserights.

to her, i say this: you and your fellow citizens have chosen a new government, a governmentthat believes deeply in the diversity of our country. we know in our bones that canada wasbuilt by people from all corners of the world who worship every faith, who belong to everyculture, who speak every language.

we believe in our hearts that this country's unique diversity is a blessing bestowed upon usby previous generations of canadians, canadians who stared down prejudice and foughtdiscrimination in all its forms. we know that our enviable, inclusive society didn't happen byaccident and won't continue without effort. i have always known this; canadians know it too. ifnot, i might have spoken earlier this evening and given a very different speech.

have faith in your fellow citizens, my friends. they are kind and generous. they are open-minded and optimistic. and they know in their heart of hearts that a canadian is a canadian,is a canadian.

my friends, we beat fear with hope. we beat cynicism with hard work. we beat negative,divisive politics with a positive vision that brings canadians together. most of all, we defeatedthe idea that canadians should be satisfied with less, that good enough is good enough andthat better just isn't possible. well, my friends, this is canada, and in canada, better is alwayspossible.

thank you. thank you very much.

演講者：laura vanderkam 勞拉·凡德卡姆

中英對(duì)照翻譯

when people find out i write about time management, they assume two things. one is that i'm always on time, and i'm not. i have four small children, and i would like to blame them for my occasional tardiness, but sometimes it's just not their fault. i was once late to my own speech on time management.

當(dāng)人們發(fā)現(xiàn)我寫關(guān)于時(shí)間管理的文章時(shí)，他們都會(huì)假設(shè)兩件事：第一，我永遠(yuǎn)都準(zhǔn)時(shí)，但我并不是。我有四個(gè)小孩，我偶爾將遲到歸咎于他們，不過(guò)有時(shí)候真的不是因?yàn)樗麄?。我有一次在去我的一個(gè)關(guān)于時(shí)間管理的演講時(shí)遲到了。

we all had to just take a moment together and savor that irony.

我們都需要一點(diǎn)時(shí)間去好好地體味一下這有多么諷刺。

the second thing they assume is that i have lots of tips and tricks for saving bits of time here and there.sometimes i'll hear from magazines that are doing a story along these lines, generally on how to help their readers find an e_tra hour in the day. and the idea is that we'll shave bits of time off everyday activities, add it up, and we'll have time for the good stuff.

第二，人們總是假設(shè)我有很多關(guān)于如何節(jié)省時(shí)間的貼士和技巧。有時(shí)候我聽(tīng)說(shuō)一些雜志 在寫這方面的故事，通常都是關(guān)于教讀者如何在一天中獲得額外一個(gè)小時(shí)?；舅悸肪褪菑娜粘５拿總€(gè)活動(dòng)中擠出一點(diǎn)時(shí)間，加起來(lái)，然后我們就有時(shí)間去做更有意思的事情了。

i question the entire premise of this piece, but i'm always interested in hearing what they've come up with before they call me. some of my favorites:doing errands where you only have to make right-hand turns.

我對(duì)這個(gè)說(shuō)法持保留意見(jiàn)，不過(guò)我還是愿意聽(tīng)聽(tīng)他們?cè)谡椅抑坝惺裁聪敕?。我最喜歡的幾個(gè)是：只完成那些只需要右轉(zhuǎn)的事;

being e_tremely judicious in microwave usage: it says three to three-and-a-half minutes on the package, we're totally getting in on the bottom side of that. and my personal favorite, which makes sense on some level, is to dvr your favorite shows so you can fast-forward through the commercials.

在用微波爐時(shí)，要極度審慎：當(dāng)食物包裝上面寫了3到3.5分鐘時(shí)，我們要挑時(shí)間最短的那個(gè)。我個(gè)人最喜歡的是，錄下你最喜歡看的電視劇，然后你就可以跳過(guò)廣告了。其實(shí)在某個(gè)程度上，還是挺有道理的。

that way, you save eight minutes every half hour, so in the course of two hours of watching tv, you find 32 minutes to e_ercise.

這樣，你每半個(gè)小時(shí)就可以擠出八分鐘。那么你蔥用來(lái)看電視的兩個(gè)小時(shí)中，可以擠出32分鐘鍛煉的時(shí)間。

which is true. you know another way to find 32 minutes to e_ercise? don't watch two hours of tv a day, right?

倒的確是這么回事兒。你還知道其他可以找到32分鐘鍛煉時(shí)間的方法嗎?不要每天都看兩個(gè)小時(shí)電視就行了，對(duì)吧? (笑聲)

anyway, the idea is we'll save bits of time here and there, add it up, we will finally get to everything we want to do. but after studying how successful people spend their time and looking at their schedules hour by hour, i think this idea has it completely backward.

總之，就是要在各處都省點(diǎn)時(shí)間，加起來(lái)就有時(shí)間做我們想做的事了。但在我了解成功的人如何分配時(shí)間，并看過(guò)了他們的時(shí)間表后，我覺(jué)得這個(gè)想法是完全本末倒置的。

we don't build the lives we want by saving time. we build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.

我們不是通過(guò)節(jié)省時(shí)間來(lái)打造我們想過(guò)的生活。我們應(yīng)該先建立我們想要的生活，時(shí)間就會(huì)自然而然節(jié)省出來(lái)。

here's what i mean. i recently did a time diary project looking at 1,001 days in the lives of e_tremely busy women. they had demanding jobs, sometimes their own businesses, kids to care for, maybe parents to care for, community commitments -- busy, busy people.

我來(lái)解釋一下。我最近有個(gè)時(shí)間日記項(xiàng)目，觀察最忙碌的女士生命中的1001天。她們工作繁忙，有時(shí)候是自己的生意，有時(shí)候要照顧自己的孩子，或者是照顧父母，還有服務(wù)社區(qū)等等——都是一些很忙的人。

i had them keep track of their time for a week so i could add up how much they worked and slept, and i interviewed them about their strategies, for my book.

我讓她們記錄了一星期的行程，計(jì)算她們工作和睡覺(jué)的時(shí)間，為了我的書，我還采訪 了解了她們的常用策略。

one of the women whose time log i studied goes out on a wednesday night for something. she comes home to find that her water heater has broken, and there is now water all over her basement. if you've ever had anything like this happen to you, you know it is a hugely damaging, frightening, sopping mess.

其中一個(gè)被我研究過(guò)時(shí)間表的女士，在一個(gè)周三晚上出去了一趟，回家發(fā)現(xiàn)她的熱水器壞了，地下室都被水淹了。如果你也遇到過(guò)這種事兒的話，你會(huì)知道眼前的景象多么令人崩潰和沮喪。

so she's dealing with the immediate aftermath that night, ne_t day she's got plumbers coming in, day after that, professional cleaning crew dealing with the ruined carpet. all this is being recorded on her time log. winds up taking seven hours of her week. seven hours. that's like finding an e_tra hour in the day.

于是那個(gè)晚上她立刻著手處理，第二天她找了一個(gè)水管工，第三天找了專業(yè)的清理人員 來(lái)處理?yè)p壞的地毯。所有這些都算在了她的時(shí)間表內(nèi)?？偣不怂恢苤械钠邆€(gè)小時(shí)。七個(gè)小時(shí)。這就等于一周七天每天都要擠出一個(gè)小時(shí)。

but i'm sure if you had asked her at the start of the week, 'could you find seven hours to train for a triathlon?' 'could you find seven hours to mentor seven worthy people?' i'm sure she would've said what most of us would've said, which is, 'no -- can't you see how busy i am?' yet when she had to find seven hours because there is water all over her basement, she found seven hours.

但是假如你在這一周剛開(kāi)始時(shí)就問(wèn)她，“你能在這周抽出七個(gè)小時(shí)來(lái)參加鐵人三項(xiàng)嗎?”，“你能在這周抽出七個(gè)小時(shí)指導(dǎo)七個(gè)有潛力的人嗎?“ 我確定她會(huì)像大多數(shù)人一樣， 說(shuō)，”怎么可能，你看不出我有多忙嗎?“ 但是她最后不得不抽出七個(gè)小時(shí)，因?yàn)樗牡叵率叶急凰土耍?她擠出了這七個(gè)小時(shí)。

and what this shows us is that time is highly elastic. we cannot make more time, but time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it.

這件事告訴我們：時(shí)間是有彈性的。我們不能創(chuàng)造更多時(shí)間，但是時(shí)間會(huì)自己調(diào)整去適應(yīng)我們選擇去做的事情。

and so the key to time management is treating our priorities as the equivalent of that broken water heater. to get at this, i like to use language from one of the busiest people i ever interviewed. by busy, i mean she was running a small business with 12 people on the payroll, she had si_ children in her spare time.

所以時(shí)間管理的關(guān)鍵，就是對(duì)待最重要的事情應(yīng)該像對(duì)待那個(gè)壞了的熱水器一樣。要做到這一點(diǎn)，我要借用我采訪過(guò)最忙的人的話。她經(jīng)營(yíng)著一個(gè)小企業(yè)，請(qǐng)了十二名員工，空余時(shí)間她還要照顧六個(gè)孩子。

i was getting in touch with her to set up an interview on how she 'had it all' -- that phrase. i remember it was a thursday morning, and she was not available to speak with me. of course, right?

我聯(lián)系上了她，想要采訪她關(guān)于她是怎么做到“無(wú)所不能”的。我記得那是一個(gè)星期四的早晨，她沒(méi)時(shí)間和我說(shuō)話。當(dāng)然了，她很忙。

but the reason she was unavailable to speak with me is that she was out for a hike, because it was a beautiful spring morning, and she wanted to go for a hike. so of course this makes me even more intrigued, and when i finally do catch up with her, she e_plains it like this. she says, 'listen laura, everything i do, every minute i spend, is my choice.'

但是她沒(méi)時(shí)間和我說(shuō)話的原因是，她去遠(yuǎn)足了。因?yàn)槟鞘谴杭疽粋€(gè)美麗的清晨，所以她去遠(yuǎn)足了。這樣的她讓我變得更感興趣了，當(dāng)我最終聯(lián)系上她時(shí)，她說(shuō)：“聽(tīng)我說(shuō)，勞拉，我做的所有的事情，我花的每分每秒，都是我的選擇。

and rather than say, 'i don't have time to do _, y or z,' she'd say, 'i don't do _, y or z because it's not a priority.' 'i don't have time,' often means 'it's not a priority.'

”所以與其說(shuō)， ”我沒(méi)有時(shí)間做這個(gè)，這個(gè)，或者那個(gè)?！?她會(huì)說(shuō)：”我不做這些事情因?yàn)檫@些不是我的首要任務(wù)。““我沒(méi)有時(shí)間”的意思通常是 ”那不是我的首要任務(wù)”。

if you think about it, that's really more accurate language. i could tell you i don't have time to dust my blinds, but that's not true. if you offered to pay me $100,000 to dust my blinds, i would get to it pretty quickly.

其實(shí)你想想， 那的確是更準(zhǔn)確的說(shuō)法。我可能會(huì)告訴你我沒(méi)有時(shí)間清理百葉窗，但那不是真的。假如你愿意付我10萬(wàn)美金讓我給百葉窗除塵，我會(huì)馬上就去做。 (笑聲)

since that is not going to happen, i can acknowledge this is not a matter of lacking time; it's that i don't want to do it. using this language reminds us that time is a choice. and granted, there may be horrible consequences for making different choices, i will give you that.

既然那不可能發(fā)生，我可以說(shuō)不是因?yàn)闀r(shí)間不夠，而是我不想做。這么說(shuō)提醒了我們， 時(shí)間是一種選擇。我會(huì)告訴你，當(dāng)然，不同的選擇有時(shí)候會(huì)帶來(lái)可怕的后果。

but we are smart people, and certainly over the long run, we have the power to fill our lives with the things that deserve to be there.

但是我們都是聰明人，從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)看，我們有能力去選擇一些值得做的事，來(lái)填補(bǔ)我們生命中的時(shí)間。那么我們應(yīng)該怎么做呢?

so how do we do that? how do we treat our priorities as the equivalent of that broken water heater?

我們要如何像對(duì)待那個(gè)壞了的熱水器一樣對(duì)待我們的首要任務(wù)?首先，我們需要找出哪些事最重要。

well, first we need to figure out what they are. i want to give you two strategies for thinking about this.the first, on the professional side: i'm sure many people coming up to the end of the year are giving or getting annual performance reviews. you look back over your successes over the year, your 'opportunities for growth.' and this serves its purpose, but i find it's more effective to do this looking forward.

我想給你們分享兩個(gè)技巧。第一個(gè)，從職業(yè)的角度來(lái)說(shuō)：我相信許多人在年底的時(shí)候，會(huì)發(fā)出或者收到年度績(jī)效審查。你回頭看看這一年的成功和 “成長(zhǎng)的機(jī)會(huì)”。這的確起到了它的作用，但是我發(fā)現(xiàn)往前看會(huì)更有效。

so i want you to pretend it's the end of ne_t year. you're giving yourself a performance review,and it has been an absolutely amazing year for you professionally. what three to five things did you do that made it so amazing? so you can write ne_t year's performance review now.

我想讓你們把這當(dāng)做下一年的年底。你在給自己做年度績(jī)效審查，在專業(yè)方面，這一年的表現(xiàn)非常出眾。是哪三到五件事使這一年變得如此出眾?你現(xiàn)在就可以寫明年的績(jī)效審查。

and you can do this for your personal life, too. i'm sure many of you, like me, come december, get cards that contain these folded up sheets of colored paper, on which is written what is known as the family holiday letter.

你也可以在個(gè)人生活方面這么做。我相信你們?cè)S多人，包括我，在十二月，都會(huì)收到這種夾著彩色紙的卡片。上面寫著“家庭假日信件”。

bit of a wretched genre of literature, really, going on about how amazing everyone in the household is,or even more scintillating, how busy everyone in the household is. but these letters serve a purpose,which is that they tell your friends and family what you did in your personal life that mattered to you over the year.

聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是一個(gè)挺悲慘的文學(xué)題材，談?wù)摷依锩總€(gè)人有多了不起，或者更精彩點(diǎn)，家里每個(gè)人有多忙。但是這些信有它們的用處，它們告訴你的朋友和家人你這一年里做了什么對(duì)個(gè)人生活有意義的事。

so this year's kind of done, but i want you to pretend it's the end of ne_t year, and it has been an absolutely amazing year for you and the people you care about. what three to five things did you do that made it so amazing? so you can write ne_t year's family holiday letter now. don't send it.

那么今年快要結(jié)束了，我想讓你假裝這是明年的年底，對(duì)你和你在乎的人來(lái)說(shuō)，這都是無(wú)與倫比的一年。哪三到五件事讓你這一年表現(xiàn)如此出色?其實(shí)你現(xiàn)在就可以寫明年的家庭假日信件了。先不要發(fā)出去。

please, don't send it. but you can write it. and now, between the performance review and the family holiday letter, we have a list of si_ to ten goals we can work on in the ne_t year.

真的，不要發(fā)出去。但是你可以寫?，F(xiàn)在，有了績(jī)效評(píng)估和寫給家人的信，我們就有了六到十個(gè)明年可以努力的目標(biāo)。我們需要先把他們分成可行的階段性任務(wù)。

and now we need to break these down into doable steps. so maybe you want to write a family history.first, you can read some other family histories, get a sense for the style. then maybe think about the questions you want to ask your relatives, set up appointments to interview them. or maybe you want to run a 5k. so you need to find a race and sign up, figure out a training plan, and dig those shoes out of the back of the closet.

或許你要寫一個(gè)家族傳記。首先嗎，你可以讀讀別人的家族歷史，了解一下大概的風(fēng)格 然后可以想象你要問(wèn)親戚的問(wèn)題，約定和他們見(jiàn)面談話的時(shí)間?；蛘吣阆胍獏⒓右粋€(gè)五千米的短程馬拉松。你需要先找一個(gè)競(jìng)賽報(bào)名，再做一個(gè)培訓(xùn)計(jì)劃，從衣柜底下翻出你的運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋。

and then -- this is key -- we treat our priorities as the equivalent of that broken water heater, by putting them into our schedules first. we do this by thinking through our weeks before we are in them.

然后——這是關(guān)鍵——我們將我們的首要事件視為那個(gè)壞掉的熱水器，將它們優(yōu)先放入我們的日程表里。我們要在事情發(fā)生的幾周前就先想好。

i find a really good time to do this is friday afternoons. friday afternoon is what an economist might calla 'low opportunity cost' time. most of us are not sitting there on friday afternoons saying, 'i am e_cited to make progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now.'

我發(fā)現(xiàn)周五的下午最適合處理這事兒。周五的下午是被經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家稱為“低機(jī)會(huì)成本”時(shí)間。我們大部分人不會(huì)在周五下午想著，“我要朝我的個(gè)人和職業(yè)生涯的首要事件邁進(jìn)了， 所以很興奮?！?/p>

but we are willing to think about what those should be. so take a little bit of time friday afternoon, make yourself a three-category priority list: career, relationships, self. making a three-category list reminds usthat there should be something in all three categories.

但是我們?cè)敢馊ハ肽切┦率鞘裁础Ｋ栽谥芪逑挛缁ㄒ稽c(diǎn)時(shí)間，為自己做一個(gè)分成三類的首要事件的列表：事業(yè)、人際關(guān)系、個(gè)人。這樣的三項(xiàng)分類列表提醒了我們每一個(gè)類別都應(yīng)該有一些事。

career, we think about; relationships, self -- not so much. but anyway, just a short list, two to three items in each. then look out over the whole of the ne_t week, and see where you can plan them in.

事業(yè)，我們經(jīng)常考慮;人際關(guān)系，個(gè)人——很少會(huì)想。無(wú)論如何，只要一個(gè)短短的列表，每個(gè)都包含兩到三件事。它們會(huì)幫助我們看清下周，如何在下周計(jì)劃這些事情。你可以決定如何計(jì)劃。

where you plan them in is up to you. i know this is going to be more complicated for some people than others. i mean, some people's lives are just harder than others. it is not going to be easy to find time to take that poetry class if you are caring for multiple children on your own. i get that. and i don't want to minimize anyone's struggle. but i do think that the numbers i am about to tell you are empowering.

這可能對(duì)一些人來(lái)說(shuō)會(huì)比較困難一點(diǎn)。我的意思是，有些人的人生就是比較復(fù)雜。如果你自己有好幾個(gè)要照顧的小孩，想要找時(shí)間去參加詩(shī)歌班一定不容易。我懂。我不想輕視任何人的困難。但是我覺(jué)得我接下來(lái)要說(shuō)的數(shù)字，是會(huì)改變你的想法的。

there are 168 hours in a week. twenty-four times seven is 168 hours. that is a lot of time. if you are working a full-time job, so 40 hours a week, sleeping eight hours a night, so 56 hours a week -- that leaves 72 hours for other things. that is a lot of time.

我們每周都有168個(gè)小時(shí)，24乘以7是168個(gè)小時(shí)。這是一段很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。假如你有一個(gè)全職的工作，一周是40個(gè)小時(shí)，每晚睡八個(gè)小時(shí)，一周是56個(gè)小時(shí)，我們有剩下72個(gè)小時(shí)來(lái)做其他事情。這是一段很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。

you say you're working 50 hours a week, maybe a main job and a side hustle. well, that leaves 62 hours for other things. you say you're working 60 hours. well, that leaves 52 hours for other things. you say you're working more than 60 hours. well, are you sure?

假如你說(shuō)你每周工作50個(gè)小時(shí)，比如一份全職和一份兼職。這樣你還是有60小時(shí)去做其他的事情。假如你說(shuō)你每周工作60個(gè)小時(shí)，你還是有52個(gè)小時(shí)去做其他的事情。你說(shuō)你每周工作超過(guò)60個(gè)小時(shí)，你確定嗎?

there was once a study comparing people's estimated work weeks with time diaries. they found that people claiming 75-plus-hour work weeks were off by about 25 hours.

曾經(jīng)有一個(gè)研究對(duì)比了人們估計(jì)的工作時(shí)間，和實(shí)際的工作日記。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)那些表示工作超過(guò)75小時(shí)的人，有25小時(shí)的誤差。

you can guess in which direction, right? anyway, in 168 hours a week, i think we can find time for what matters to you.

你可以猜到這個(gè)誤差是多了還是少了吧?無(wú)論如何，在一周的168個(gè)小時(shí)里，我覺(jué)得我們總可以找到時(shí)間做我們想做的事。

if you want to spend more time with your kids, you want to study more for a test you're taking, you want to e_ercise for three hours and volunteer for two, you can. and that's even if you're working way more than full-time hours.

如果你想花時(shí)間陪陪你的孩子，或者準(zhǔn)備你即將到來(lái)的考試，你想鍛煉兩三個(gè)小時(shí)或者 做兩個(gè)小時(shí)志愿者，你都可以的。即便你的工作時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)法定時(shí)間。

so we have plenty of time, which is great, because guess what? we don't even need that much time to do amazing things. but when most of us have bits of time, what do we do? pull out the phone, right?start deleting emails. otherwise, we're puttering around the house or watching tv.

所以我們有很多時(shí)間，這很好。但是你知道嗎?我們根本不需要那么多時(shí)間去完成一個(gè)大目標(biāo)。但當(dāng)我們有一點(diǎn)空閑時(shí)間的時(shí)候，我們會(huì)做什么?拿出手機(jī)，是吧?開(kāi)始刪除郵件?；蛘咴诩依镩e逛，看電視。

but small moments can have great power. you can use your bits of time for bits of joy. maybe it's choosing to read something wonderful on the bus on the way to work.

但是每個(gè)不起眼的時(shí)刻都潛力無(wú)限。你可以用零星的時(shí)間，來(lái)獲得零星的快樂(lè)。比如說(shuō)在去上班的公車上讀一些精彩的東西。

i know when i had a job that required two bus rides and a subway ride every morning, i used to go to the library on weekends to get stuff to read. it made the whole e_perience almost, almost, enjoyable. breaks at work can be used for meditating or praying. if family dinner is out because of your crazy work schedule, maybe family breakfast could be a good substitute.

當(dāng)我以前的工作需要我每天早上乘兩趟公車和一趟地鐵的時(shí)候，我周末會(huì)去圖書館找東西來(lái)讀。這幾乎，幾乎讓我的生活更豐富了。工作間隙的休息時(shí)間可以用來(lái)冥想或者禱告。如果你因?yàn)楣ぷ髅Χ荒艹约彝ネ聿?，試一下家庭早餐?/p>

it's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where the good stuff can go. i truly believe this.there is time. even if we are busy, we have time for what matters. and when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in the time we've got.

這就是看著一個(gè)人所有的時(shí)間，然后找到什么時(shí)候可以做想做的事。我真的相信，我們都有充分的時(shí)間。就算我們很忙，我們?nèi)匀挥袝r(shí)間去做重要的事。當(dāng)我們關(guān)注在重要的事上時(shí)，我們可以用所擁有的時(shí)間創(chuàng)造我們想要的生活。

thank you.

謝謝。

freedom is an important right of people. it usually refers that you can do want you want and live the life you want. of course it must be on the basis that you can’t affect others’ freedom. otherwise it does not belong to your freedom anymore. in my opinion freedom is not you can do whatever you want but you don’t have to do what you don’t want to.

we live in the same society which there are many rules onstraining our behaviors. therefore we can’t do whatever we want. but we are not forced to do what we don’t want to is freedom.

冬天快要來(lái)臨了，燕子們排好了隊(duì)伍，準(zhǔn)備向南方出發(fā)了。

在隊(duì)伍的最后面有一只最小的燕子，它叫莉兒。它想:“每年都是春天來(lái)北方，秋天去南方，飛來(lái)飛去多累多無(wú)聊啊!”于是，莉兒悄悄地離開(kāi)了隊(duì)伍。

莉兒飛到了森林上方，但是不幸的事發(fā)生了，一只箭朝它飛來(lái)，莉兒躲閃不及，翅膀被射中了。莉兒努力地用另一只翅膀撲騰著，可是沒(méi)用，它落進(jìn)了森林深處。趁著獵人沒(méi)注意，莉兒費(fèi)盡艱險(xiǎn)，躲進(jìn)了旁邊的一個(gè)樹(shù)洞中。

正好有兩個(gè)小孩路過(guò)，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了瑟瑟發(fā)抖的莉兒。女孩說(shuō)，好可憐啊，我們把它帶回家吧!男孩點(diǎn)頭同意了。于是，兩個(gè)小孩子帶著莉兒一起回家了。

孩子們天天給莉兒喂水、喂食物，不久后，莉兒的傷好了。看到莉兒仍舊是一副沮喪的表情，孩子們把它放走了，可莉兒一點(diǎn)也高興不起來(lái)，因?yàn)樗チ擞H人。

“生命誠(chéng)可貴，愛(ài)情價(jià)更高，若為自由故，兩者皆可拋?！?/p>

“自由”，多么誘人的兩個(gè)字，有多少人要自由、盼自由、愛(ài)自由。對(duì)于監(jiān)獄里的牢犯，自由是重生的希望，但對(duì)于我們這些剛邁入青春期的孩子們，“自由”，又是什么呢?

老一輩人常常把這些話掛在嘴邊：“你們這些孩子真是太幸福了，我們那年頭，只求三餐溫飽，哪像你們，天天都講名牌”，也許這句話有道理，但是經(jīng)過(guò)歷史與歲月無(wú)情的洗禮我們卻不這樣認(rèn)為了。

每當(dāng)夜晚，我總會(huì)凝望天空中那閃爍的星晨，它們看起來(lái)好自由，如果我有一雙翅膀我會(huì)……“咔嚓”開(kāi)門聲打斷了我所謂的叛逆的思想，望著那如山的作業(yè)與媽媽炯炯地探測(cè)目光，我不禁鼻頭發(fā)酸，呵!這就是現(xiàn)代人所謂的幸福。

我不屑這種幸福，我更希望自己能成為草原上狂奔的野馬，那種天然、野性、不受拘束的美深深震撼著我。一想到明天7：30的輔導(dǎo)班，我咽了口苦水，看了看那在旁監(jiān)視著我的媽媽，我有一種想把自己的想法說(shuō)出的感覺(jué)，但我知道，這樣做只會(huì)換來(lái)媽媽的責(zé)備……

我走上了那輛通往老師家的公交車，車?yán)锶松饺撕?，我被擠在人群中希望探出一口氣，這時(shí)我覺(jué)得自已好像是被關(guān)進(jìn)籠子的小鳥(niǎo)，那樣的絕望，那樣的無(wú)助，眼巴巴地望著外面的世界，盡管這種被擠壓的環(huán)境我早已熟悉。好像那首歌中所唱到的一樣：“我是一只小小小小鳥(niǎo)，想要飛卻飛都飛不高……”

面對(duì)社會(huì)的不斷發(fā)展，社會(huì)上的人才也越來(lái)越多，家長(zhǎng)們?yōu)榱撕⒆舆m應(yīng)社會(huì)，于是人人都得“強(qiáng)化教育”，但是有句俗話說(shuō)“望子成龍子成蟲(chóng)”，讓孩子學(xué)到眼冒金星也未必是件好事啊?“我要飛得更高!飛得更高……”

自由，意味著解脫了束縛;自由，意味著可能翱翔于天穹!自由!我渴望得到自由!

“生命的寬度在于自由，一個(gè)人獲得了自由，生命也就有了真正的價(jià)值”

青春期伊始，當(dāng)我把這句話作為信仰，并且試圖追求它時(shí)，整個(gè)世界是與我做對(duì)的。我曾帶著疑惑去詢問(wèn)長(zhǎng)輩，老師，得到的答案永遠(yuǎn)是否定;我以為朋友能懂我，當(dāng)他們覺(jué)得我在開(kāi)玩笑時(shí)，我感到了憂傷。

青春期幼嫩的芽?jī)航?jīng)不起摧折，我只能選擇沉默，卻不安分。

我相信生命，更追求自由。至少那時(shí)的我，無(wú)所畏懼。

在一次次的叛逆與逃離后，我的父母開(kāi)始重視這個(gè)問(wèn)題，盡管他們不能理解我的勇氣從何而來(lái)。

他們把我?guī)У揭巴?，給了我一頂帳篷和一只旅行包。爸爸對(duì)我說(shuō)：“我們?cè)敢饨o你足夠的自由，你將會(huì)在這里待到明天。也許明天我們都會(huì)有新的想法?！?/p>

“主意不錯(cuò)?！蔽覜](méi)有表現(xiàn)出恐懼，并能清楚地看到他們臉上的驚訝與失望。

在說(shuō)明書的指導(dǎo)下我很容易就搭好了帳篷，不錯(cuò)的開(kāi)端。接下來(lái)很長(zhǎng)的一段時(shí)間都很無(wú)聊，可新鮮感還未消散，我還是感到很愜意。我堅(jiān)信在這難得的一天我會(huì)過(guò)得很精彩。正值盛夏，青草綠的發(fā)油，草香混著泥土樸實(shí)的氣息讓我昏昏欲睡，我斜躺在草叢里，看著天空綿密的云，微風(fēng)像溫柔的手輕撫過(guò)發(fā)絲，臉頰，我從未覺(jué)得如此自由過(guò)，甚至在很多瞬間，都能體會(huì)到靈魂漫入云端的喜悅。

余暉萬(wàn)丈過(guò)后，天邊星子如亂棋。第一個(gè)獨(dú)自在外的夜晚，夜空繁星璀璨，熠熠生輝。想唱首好聽(tīng)的歌，或者靜靜享受著靜謐，可當(dāng)潮濕的水珠打在我的脊背，蚊蟲(chóng)開(kāi)始叮咬我時(shí)，我越來(lái)越煩躁不安。無(wú)心再享受，鉆進(jìn)了帳篷之后我的身體開(kāi)始發(fā)冷，媽媽為我準(zhǔn)備的薄毯披在身上，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我開(kāi)始想念父母了。

我怎么能說(shuō)后悔呢?盡管我已經(jīng)開(kāi)始后悔，可是我并不想承認(rèn)。

野外的夜晚并不寂靜，田野里，小河邊，四周，到處都蟲(chóng)鳴蛙叫。我的聽(tīng)覺(jué)，視力比平常好像發(fā)達(dá)了數(shù)千倍，偶爾樹(shù)枝折斷的聲音都能引起我的警惕，映在帳篷上的草叢被風(fēng)吹動(dòng)的影子好像快要把我吞噬。膽戰(zhàn)心驚，我不能停止一些想象。我想象著月亮真的像電影里一樣變化，被一朵暗云遮住，又逐漸變得半遮不遮，可是透出的光卻紅的詭異;我想象著遠(yuǎn)處小山包突然慢慢移動(dòng)，一點(diǎn)一點(diǎn)逼近我。

我害怕了。

我發(fā)自內(nèi)心的后悔了。我痛恨自己的愚蠢，無(wú)知，任意妄為，為自己帶來(lái)了天大的麻煩。其實(shí)我并沒(méi)有膽量，更不懂如何經(jīng)營(yíng)自己的生命。盲目追求的自由，毫無(wú)意義的生命。自由與生命，是沒(méi)錯(cuò)的，錯(cuò)的是我的偏執(zhí)。有什么生命，比家人，朋友在身邊，夜晚不會(huì)恐懼，瑣碎的小事不會(huì)讓自己無(wú)聊更有價(jià)值，更自由呢?

我忘記了那個(gè)夜晚有沒(méi)有睡著，我只記得看到第二天的太陽(yáng)，感覺(jué)心是滿足的，看到父母的笑容，感覺(jué)生命是完整無(wú)憾的。

那一天，不想忘記。

尊敬的老師，親愛(ài)的同學(xué)們：

大家好!

很多人可能會(huì)以為，一個(gè)人只要擁有了財(cái)富與權(quán)力，便可以為所欲為地做任何事情，才會(huì)擁有真正的自由，殊不知，那不過(guò)是作繭自縛，永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)得到真正的自由?；蛟S那會(huì)使你得到一時(shí)的痛快，但是，最終只會(huì)換來(lái)一世的不痛快，那么，何為真正的自由呢?

我們都想擺脫規(guī)則的束縛，變得如同詩(shī)仙李白一般，不懼權(quán)貴，一心做著自己喜歡做的事情，可是，不勞而獲的事情永遠(yuǎn)不可能發(fā)生?！坝魍豕冢爻衅渲亍?，一個(gè)人若想要獲得真正的自由，那么，他勢(shì)必先需懂得如何忍受孤獨(dú)。

在追尋自由的道路上，不會(huì)有人與你相伴，只會(huì)有無(wú)數(shù)的嘲諷與不屑。漫漫長(zhǎng)路，只會(huì)有自己獨(dú)身與黑暗對(duì)抗，也只有在這樣的條件下，才可以塑造出一顆真正堅(jiān)不可摧的強(qiáng)大內(nèi)心。

正如詩(shī)仙李白一般他在經(jīng)歷過(guò)現(xiàn)實(shí)的黑暗，感受到官府的無(wú)能與殘暴后，便尋求擺脫官府的束縛，她既不攀附權(quán)貴，又不與世俗同流合污，過(guò)著世人所不能理解的生活——因?yàn)樵谑廊搜壑?，人就?yīng)該為了權(quán)力與財(cái)富攀附權(quán)貴。他這個(gè)世人眼中的瘋子，在經(jīng)歷了別人的不屑與嘲諷，經(jīng)歷了他人無(wú)法忍受的寂寞與孤獨(dú)后，獲得了真正的自由——他隱世于山林之中，整日與詩(shī)為伴，游歷于河山之間，過(guò)著自己向往的生活，自由快活，留下了“我本楚狂人，鳳歌笑孔丘”這樣狂放不羈的絕句。

當(dāng)一個(gè)人承受過(guò)孤獨(dú)無(wú)助的痛苦過(guò)后，他才可能擁有真正的自由——既可以一心做自己喜愛(ài)的事情，有不會(huì)影響到他人。
