决战人生--施瓦辛格清华英文演讲
我出道时是个举重运动员。自从第一次抓紧杠铃、将其高高举过头顶之际,我就为此感到异常兴奋。那时我知道,这就是我将来要做的事情。
我还记得最初那次真正的训练。当时我骑着自行车前往一家健身房,那儿离我家所在的奥地利小村庄有八英里之遥。在那里我训练了半个钟头,因为他们说训练必须半小时一停,否则你会全身酸痛。后来我看看自己的身体,啥事没有!于是我说,“最好再练半小时吧。”就又多举了几下。可是力量并未因此增强,也不见肌肉鼓起来。然后我又练了半小时,再加半小时……结果总共练了两个半小时。
后来,我骑车回家了。刚走一英里,我顿觉四肢麻木,连车把都感觉不到了,结果整个人从车上摔下来,掉进了路边的水沟里。第二天早上起床,我浑身酸痛,连举手梳头都无能为力,只好叫我母亲替我梳头——这真令人难堪!可你知道吗,我获得了非常重要的一次教训,即:要想进步就得吃苦。
经过两三年意志上的磨练和体力上的锻炼,我确实改造了自己的身体,气力也变大了。这件事告诉我,如果能大大地改变身体,我就能改变一切:我能改变习惯,改变智力,改变态度,改变思想,改变未来,改变人生。事实上我已经做到了。我想这一教训适用于人,也适用于国家。你能改变,中国能改变,世界上每个人都能变。
我还记得第一次到美国参加世界健美锦标赛。当时我输了,绝望无比。我就像一个败者,一个遭受惨败的人。我哭了,事实上因为我感到让朋友失望了,也让自己失望了。但第二天,我重振旗鼓,改变了态度,并对自己说,“我要吸取教训。”从那时起,我不断努力,事业从此辉煌腾达,我实现了自己想做的一切——首先成为健美冠军,接着成为电影明星,后来当上了世界第六大经济体——加利福尼亚州的州长。
这一切的实现都是因为我的梦想,即使别人说我的那些梦想都是虚伪而荒唐的,但是我仍坚持不弃。在好莱坞,他们曾说,“你决不可能成功,你一口德国音。在好莱坞还没有一个说话带德国音的人能成功的。饰演一些纳粹角色你倒是可以,但有口音的人想成为主角是不可能的。还有你的体形,一身肌肉,太过发达了!二十前他们是拍过大力士的影片,不过早过时了。还有你的名字,施瓦辛格,根本不适合上电影海报。算了,你不会成功的。还是回去搞你的健美运动去吧!”
其余的都成了往事。演完《终结者III》之后,我便成为好莱坞片酬最高的明星。但外界的质疑从未中断过。我竞选州长时还有人说,“阿诺,你永远当不上加州州长。你也懂政治?”而我依然参加了竞选。我相信自己的梦想,其余的都已成昨日黄花。我最终当上了州长。因此,那些梦想总引导着我不断向前——健美运动给了我信心,电影给了我财富,而公共服务以及当州长给了我更大的决心。

Respect Governor Schwarzenegger, dear students, ladies and gentlemen, goodmorning.Today, we have a very ,very special guest to Tsinghua University.When he was a teenager of a not rich Australia family, he made up his mind to become a bodybuilding champion, a movie star and a succeful busineman.All his dreams have come true, more than that, he is elected as the governor of the American State of California.Now, let‟s welcome governor Schwarzenegger.„Well, thank you very much president.First of all, I want to thank President Gu for having me here, and I want to thank Mr.Shiller for the kind introduction.Thank you very much.And it‟s wonderful to be here, at this university what a wonderful place.Just looking around a little bit here.It‟s a gorgeous ,gorgeous place.I want to congratulate you for going to this magnificent university here.At the last time I was here in China was five years ago, and then I was promoting my movies.We had a movie festival, a Schwarzenegger movie festival.I remember They showed my movies for almost a week.It must be wieard And they also show the movies on television, and I also here to promote the special Olympic which is an organization to help people with mental disability.So I once was here for both reasons.But this time I‟m here as the governor of the great state of California.I‟m here representing the people of California and be here on a trade miion and to see how we can do more busine with China and to help more with each other.Because both California is a fast growing state and China is a very fast growing country, and there is a lot of things we can do to help each other.But I didn‟t want to mi the opportunity come here to meet the young people, especially, the most brilliant young people of China.And this is why to be great to be here at Tsinghua University that I‟m honored that I was invited here.Now I read a little bit about the history of Tsinghua,******* and richly prepare the students to attend universities in America.And I also know that since the attacks on our world trade centers, it has become more and more difficult to go to universities in America because you need to have a lot of papers to fill out, and to get visas, and it‟s a very complicated you have to wait much a long period of time before you can go with a but.Let me tell you things‟ improving already.We have ease our restriction hence it‟s easy to get a visa.My young Chinese friends, I want to tell in case that no one from America has ever invited you, let me do this right now here personally.I want to warmly invite all of you here to come to The United States, especially, to come to the California.Because that‟s the happening place.California is the best place.Please come and visit us.We‟ll welcome you.I invite you to come here to travel, to meet American people, and to come here to study in our Universities, to come and some day, hopefully you will come here to do busine here and maybe you want to move over here.Whatever your goal is, you‟re always welcome.America, after all, not forget, is a land of opportunity, and this is not only a land of opportunity for us, illustrates for me, but for Chinese people as well.And remember that.I know, beginning with this century China has become a land of opportunity.It‟s a fast growing place.And the students of this university and citizens of rising China and I think you have a great future also here in this country.And today, I want to talk to you a little bit about dreams, about dream of your future and about dreams for this country.I want to talk to you about dreams because it seems to me I‟m somebody an expert in dreams, because I had many of my dreams become a reality.So, let me just tell you briefly here of my story.And tell you a little bit how I start my career.And I think this story a kind of relates a little bit to you and also to China.I started away back as a weight-lifter.I always like be lifting weight and being a body builder.From the first moment when I grip a bulb and held it around the bar and lift the steel above my head and I felt the exaltation and I knew then this is some that I‟m gonna do.This is what I‟m going to do.I‟m going to pursue the sport of weight-lifting and body-building.Now, I remember the first world record that I have had.It was eight miles away from my home village, Australia.It was in Gemasim.And I rode to Gemasim with a bicycle.And there I trained for half an hour.Because it‟s said that after half an hour, you should stop.Because in that way your body muscles will get really sour.But after half an hour, I looked at my body and nothing happened.So.It‟s said it‟s better to look out for another half hour.So lift some more, the strength didn‟t improve.I didn‟t see the muscles pop up or anything like that.So I trained for another half hour and after a half hour I trained another half hour.All together, I trained two and a half hours.And let me tell you something after two and an half hours, I left the Gymnasium, even they told me I should have trained that much.It will get your muscle really sour.I rode my bicycle home and after the first mile I got numb and I couldn‟t feel the handle of the bicycle and I fell off the bicycle and I fell into the ditch of roadside field.So, I got up again and I tried it again.Another few yards I fell off the bicycle again.And I tried three or four more times but I just couldn‟t ride my bicycle because my body was so numb and my legs felt like noodles.Well, let me tell you something the next morning when I got up.My arms were so sour that I couldn‟t even lift my arm to comb my hair.I had to have my mother to comb my hair.You know how embarraing that is.But you know something I learned a very important leon that pain means progre.Pain is progre.Each time my muscle was sour from a record I know that they are growing and they are getting strong.I think that is a real life leon in that.After two or three years of discipline and determination of working that hard, I actually changed my body and changed my strength and that told me something.If I could change my body that much and if I could change the strength of my body that much, I could change anything else that I could change my habits, I could change my intelligence, that I could change my attitude, my mind, my future and my life and this is exactly what I‟ve done.And I think that leon also applies to the people and also applies to countries.You can change, China can change, everyone in the world can change.Now, my parents, I have to tell you, didn‟t understand my dreams at all.They were always wondering: what you are doing, when you will get a real job and when you will make money.And all the questions they got and they hope they didn‟t raise a bum: someone who doesn‟t make money, but just wants to live in the gymnasium and thinks about his body.Well, owe to all these negative thinking, the more negative the thinking got, the more negative the questions got, the stronger and more robust I became.The strong I became inside.So, of cause, some one in your family may think the same way.This is why I mention that, some one in your family may not believe in your dreams.But let me tell you something my young friends: keep your dreams no matter what keep your dreams.Don‟t give up one day when you are temporarily defeated or denied keep your dreams.I remember the first time I went to the United States.And, I was competing in a competition.It was the world champion of body-building.I lost and came in second and I was devastated, I was crushed, and I felt like a looser, a major looser, let me tell you.I cried as a matter of fact, because of the thought I felt I disappointed my friends and disappointed myself.But the next day I got my act together.I shift the gears and say: I‟m gonna learn from that leon.I‟m gonna stay in America, I‟m not go back to Europe.I‟m gonna train the American Champion.I‟m gonna train the American way.I‟m gonna eat American food.And a year later, I became the world champion of America in body-building.And from 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 happened 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 Nazi roles or something like that, but you cannot become a leading star with an accent.Plus your body, you‟re overdeveloped, you have all these muscles.They did Hercules movies 20 years ago, that‟s outdated.And your name, Schwarzenegger, it will never fit on a movie poster.Forget it, you will never make it.Go back to body building.”
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 you know about government?” 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 public service and being a governor gave me a purpose larger than myself.
