俞敏洪:相信奮斗的力量（雙語）

　　同學們好：

　　我始終相信任何一個人想要改變自己的人生，想要改變自己的命運，最佳的法寶或者說最好的力量，就是去進行奮斗，我相信在座的各位同學坐在這兒也是來吸取這種力量。

　　我們每一個人出生都不一樣，曾經(jīng)年輕的時候，抱怨自己生長在一個貧困家庭。曾經(jīng)年輕的時候抱怨過自己的父母，什么也不能給我?；毂楸贝笳吣?，沒有一個女人愛上我的時候，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的很多同學都已經(jīng)談了好幾次戀愛。有的同學已經(jīng)娶上了美麗的女人，成立了美好的家庭。當我發(fā)現(xiàn)至少每個同學都擁有一個健康身體的時候，我在大學三年級的時候得了肺結(jié)核。發(fā)現(xiàn)好像所有的生活黑暗和不如意都集中在你一個人身上，幸虧在這樣的過程中間我始終沒有放棄自己身上唯一的力量，這個力量就是我覺得只要努力，只要奮斗，只要給我足夠的時間，我應該能夠改變自己的命運，我應該能夠讓自己的生活變得更好。而這種感覺來自于什么地方呢，就是來自于我從小在農(nóng)村的那種生活，來自于我自己高考的啟示，因為對于我來說，農(nóng)村孩子長大唯一可能的歸宿就是在農(nóng)村。

　　Good students:

　　I always believe that any one person wants to change your life, want to change their own destiny, the best weapon or the best strength, is to struggle, I believe you all sitting here is to absorb the force.

　　Every one of us is born are not the same, when I was young, complain that they grew up in a poor family. Once when I was young, complain that their parents, what also can't give me. Mixing times of Peking University for seven years, not a woman fall in love with me, I find many of my classmates have talked several times in love. Some students have to marry a beautiful woman, set up a happy family. When I found at least each of the students have a healthy body, I got tuberculosis in the third grade of university. All life seems dark and unhappy are focused on you alone, but in the middle of this process I never give up on themselves the only power, the power is I think as long as you work hard, as long as the struggle, just give me enough time, I should be able to change their own destiny, I should be able to to make our lives better. And this feeling comes from what place, is from the I grew up in the rural life, from my own entrance of the enlightenment, because for me, the only possible end result of rural children grew up in the countryside.

　　我十四歲初中畢業(yè)，緊接著命運就對我做出了宣判，當時中國有一個政策，叫做貧下中農(nóng)子女，一家只能有一個上高中，我姐上了高中，因此就輪不到我。所以其實我在十四歲的時候就認認真真地當過一回農(nóng)民，在那個時候我就料定了自己這輩子大概只能在農(nóng)村待著了。但是，老天給了我一個非常好的機會，這個機會就是“_”粉碎以后，教育政策立刻就改變了。我們的初中老師想起了我，說俞敏洪是一直喜歡讀書的人，我們是不是可以把他破例地重新放到高中里面來。我媽聽說我這個事情以后就非常地興奮，就找公社大隊的領(lǐng)導和學校的校長去不斷地說，說我兒子就是可以來的，所以我這輩子我最感激的就是我媽。這就是我的第一次機會，這個不是我奮斗來的，是黨和國家給我的。

　　I am fourteen years old graduated from junior high school, then the fate I made the sentence, then Chinese has a policy, called the children of the poor and lower-middle peasants, a company can only have one high school, my sister went to high school, and therefore won't get me. So I was fourteen when I seriously when a farmer, at that time I knew your this life is probably only stay in the countryside. But, God gave me a very good opportunity, this opportunity is the "Gang of four" after grinding, education policy immediately changed. Our junior high school teacher reminds me, said Yu Minhong is always people who like reading, we Is it right? Can put him back on the high school consistently. My mom told me that after very excited, can commune brigade and the leadership of the headmaster of the school to continue to say, said my son is coming, so I this life I appreciate most is my mother. This is my first opportunity, this is not my struggle, is the party and the country to me.

　　高中畢業(yè)的時候，其實整個班全是農(nóng)民，因為我們就是農(nóng)村中學，幾乎沒有一個人會有信心說能考上大學，但是這個時候我碰上了一個好老師。這個老師現(xiàn)在還在南京，已經(jīng)八十歲了，他在我們復習高考的時候，高二的時候就對我們說了一句話，他說我知道你們在座的小子沒有一個能考上大學的，你們以后一定都是農(nóng)民，但是我依然要求你們每一個人都去考大學，因為當你們以后回到農(nóng)村，在田頭勞動的時候，當你拄著鋤頭仰望藍天，嘆息自己命運悲哀的時候，你會想起來，你曾經(jīng)為了改變自己的命運而奮斗過一次。

　　Graduation from high school, the whole class is full of farmers, because we are the rural middle school, almost no one can say with some confidence can be admitted to university, but this time I met a good teacher. The teacher is still in Nanjing, already eighty years old, when he was in our review of the college entrance examination, high school is said to us in a word, he said I know you here. No one can enter the University, you will all farmers, but I still want to ask each one of you to be admitted to the University, because when you return to the rural areas, in the field of labor, when you walk with a hoe to look up to the blue sky, when sigh their fate sad, you will think of it, you have to change your own destiny struggle once.

　　這句話，我到今天還能記得，大家想想這個印象多深，所以我就認定了自己一定要考大學，第二是我認定了一定要讓這個老師失望一次。但這只是一次美好的愿望，我高考第一年出來以后，英語分數(shù)只考了33分，盡管當年這個錄取的英語分數(shù)線也不高，最低大專錄取分數(shù)線就是我們江蘇有一個地區(qū)師范學院，只有40分，但是我只考了33分，差了7分，那么我就想，如果我再努力一年，我也許就超過40分了，也許我就進這個大專去了，所以我就邊干農(nóng)活邊復習。當時農(nóng)村連電燈都還沒有，在煤油燈底下復習，我就是在高考復習的第二年眼睛近視了，所以第二年去高考的時候考出來，考了55分，我拿到這個分數(shù)就特別高興，為什么呢，我想錄取分數(shù)線是40分，我是55分，那么我無論如何能夠進那個師范學院了。結(jié)果分數(shù)線下來以后，師范學院的分數(shù)線提到了60分，結(jié)果又差了5分。高考兩次失敗以后反而讓我增加了信心，我就覺得我非要考第三年不可，所以我就跟我母親說，第三年我無論如何不干農(nóng)活，就是說一定要每天，所有的時間都交給我，但是我母親就說我再給你一年時間，但是我們家確實很窮，所以第三年如果你再考不上的話，你就只能是老老實實回來當農(nóng)民。所以我第三年就拼命了，每天早上六點起來，晚上十二點睡覺，到第三年參加高考的時候，成績一出來我就發(fā)現(xiàn)我的成績超過了北京大學的錄取分數(shù)線，所以后來就有幸跟撒貝寧這樣的名人成了校友。

　　This sentence, I remember to this day still, you think about how deep this impression, so I knew that he must be admitted to the University, I have identified second is must let the teacher down a. But this is just a good wish, after my first year of college entrance examination, English scores only got 33 points, although the admission English score is not high, the lowest college admission scores that we have in Jiangsu normal college in one area, only 40 points, but I only got 33 points, difference 7 points, so I thought, if I try hard for a year, maybe I should just over 40 points, maybe I would enter the college to go to, so I'll edge farm edge review. When the countryside even lights are not, in the kerosene lamp under review, I was in the college entrance examination review second years near sighted, so when the second year to the college entrance examination test, test 55 points, I got this fraction is particularly happy, why, I think the admission scores 40 points, I was the 55 in any case, then I can get into the college. Results the fractional line down, normal school fractional line mentioned 60 points, and the difference of 5 points. After the college entrance examination two times but failed to increase my confidence, I think I am not to test third years can not, so I said to my mother, third years I in any case not to do farm work, that is to say every day, all the time to me, but my mother said I'll give you a years, but our family is very poor, so third years if you do not test, you are only just come back when the farmer. So I third years hard, every morning at six points, twelve points to sleep at night, to third years in the college entrance examination, the result came out I found my grades than Peking University admission scores, so later had the honor with Sa Beining celebrities such as alumni.

　　其實北京大學這四個字在我腦袋中連閃都沒閃過，所以這個例子給同學們又一個啟示。什么啟示呢?人是要有夢想的，但是你夢想再大，你不去努力是不管用的，就像你爬山的時候，就算你不看那個山頭，你只要知道自己在向上爬，只要你爬的路是對的，你到達山頭只是一個時間問題。所以，回想我自己的生命，我覺得往往是我生活中帶來的一些失敗，最后促使我反彈起來，又夠著了一個新的目標。

　　In fact, this four word Peking University in my head didn't flash flash, so this example to give students a revelation. What enlightenment? A man must have a dream, you dream big, you don't go is useless, like when you climb a mountain, even if you do not see the mountain, as long as you know yourself in to climb, as long as you climb the right path, you get is just a question of time hill. So, back in my own life, I feel is often fail to bring about in my life, finally prompted me to bounce back, and reach a new goal.

　　我后來在八十年代末的時候想要出國去讀書，但是我聯(lián)系幾十個大學，十幾個大學給我發(fā)錄取通知書，沒有一個大學給我發(fā)獎學金，都說你只能自己出錢了，而當時我在北大的工資，連獎金帶基本工資加起來大概一個月二百塊錢，換成美元，三十美元左右。美國的最低學費一個大學大概三萬美金，還不算你的生活費，我算了一下，一百年不吃不喝都不夠。所以我就想到了我應該要賺更多的錢，怎么賺更多的錢呢?人有了需求就會有想法，有了想法就會有創(chuàng)新。當時剛好中國的外語培訓業(yè)已經(jīng)開始轟轟烈烈地起來了，所以我就想我為什么不自己辦一個培訓班呢?所以就有了新東方。新東方完全不是我理想的產(chǎn)物，有人說俞老師你做新東方，是不是想到了你要為中國教育要做貢獻，我想到的就是我要錢。但是今天的我，倒真的實實在在想要為中國的培訓事業(yè)，和中國的教育做點事情了。為什么?因為你有了這樣的實力，你有了這樣力量，你有了這樣的基礎(chǔ)，那自然你就會做，所以我們不用去想太多.很多你沒有想到的事情可能會做到，那么為什么會做到呢?就是因為你在不斷地改變自己。我們永遠不可能說我們站在這個舞臺的中央，你就坐著，天上就掉下餡餅來，永遠不可能!這個世界上有偶然的運氣，有必然的運氣，如果你把偶然的運氣當做必然的運氣，你的生命就會越來越差。但是一個人可以追求必然的運氣，什么叫必然的運氣，必然運氣就是通過自己的努力，踏踏實實地使自己達到了某一個狀態(tài)，達到了某一個境界，用你這個狀態(tài)，用你這個境界，用你這個身價去換取你所需要的東西，二十五年前的我在北大拿一百多塊錢的工資，這就是我的身價。十五年前的我在新東方我能掙的錢也就是勉強能夠養(yǎng)活自己，但是今天的我已經(jīng)算是中國的在美國比較好的上市公司的老總之一，這個東西是我自己通過努力得來的，所以就不太容易被人剝奪，這個東西是我自己努力得來的，所以我得到了心安理得。這個東西是我努力得來的，所以我更加相信努力的力量，為我自己的后半輩子，我還會去持續(xù)不斷地繼續(xù)努力，這就是一個正向的，積極心態(tài)的循環(huán)。

　　I want to go abroad to study in the late eighty's, but I contacted dozens of University, more than a dozen University sent me the admission notice, not a university to send me a scholarship, all say that you only pay for their own, and I was in the north of the salary, bonus of base salary even with add up to about a two hundred yuan per month, in dollars, $thirty. The lowest tuition USA a university about $thirty thousand, not counting your living expenses, I forget what, eat or drink for one hundred years is not enough. So I think I should earn more money, how to make more money? A demand would have thought, have the idea will have the innovation. At that time just China foreign language training industry has started with vigour and vitality to it, so I thought, why don't I own a training class? So there will be a new oriental. Product of New Oriental is not my ideal, some people say that teachers do New Oriental, Is it right? Thought of you to Chinese education should make contributions, I think is me for money. But today I, really really want to Chinese training business, and Chinese education to do something. Why? Because you have this power, you have strength, you do, that you will do, so we don't have to think too much. You didn't think that things may be, so why do it? Just because you are constantly change their. We never said we stand at this stage of the central, sit, heaven will fall pie, never! This is dumb luck world, there is luck, if you make dumb luck as inevitable luck, your life will be getting worse. But one can pursue inevitably luck, what must inevitably luck, luck is through their own efforts, will make oneself achieved a certain state, reached a certain level, the state with you, with you this realm, with you this value for what you need, twenty-five years ago I took more than 100 dollars in the north of the wages, this is my worth. I was fifteen years ago in the New Oriental I can earn money also is barely enough to feed themselves, but today I was in one of the Chinese American Mister good listing Corporation, this thing is I through their own efforts to, so it is not easy to be deprived of, this thing is my own efforts to feel at ease and justified, so I got. This is something I worked for, so I believe that more efforts for the rest of my life, my own, I will go to continue to continue to work, this is a positive, positive cycle.
