70 years ago, I was in high school.
70年前 我还在读中学
Almost a third as long as the country has been around.
大概就读了我应该读的三分之一那么长
And when I was in high school,I really only had two things on my mind.girls and cars.
当我在中学时 我脑子里只有两件事 女孩和车
And,and I wasn't doing very well with girls,so we'll talk about cars.
我和女孩处得不是很好 所以我们谈车
But lets just imagine that when we finish,
但想象一下当我们讨论结束的时候
I'm going to let each one of you pick out the car of your choice.
我打算让你们选你们想要的车
Sounds good, doesn't it?
听起来不错 不是吗
Pick it out, any color, you name it,
选出来 什么颜色 记下来
it'll be tied up with a bow, and it'll be at your house tomorrow.
弄好了 明天就送到你家
And you say, "Well, what's the catch?"
你会问 你想说什么
And the catch is...that it's the only car you're going to get in your lifetime.
我想说的就是 这是你一生中你获得的唯一一辆车
Now what are you going to do, knowing that that's the only car
那现在你知道了这是你一辈子
you're ever going to have and you love that car?
唯一一辆车 你也很喜欢他 你要做什么
You're going to take care of it like you cannot believe.
你要去好好爱护它
Now what I'd like to suggest is that you're not going to get only one car in your lifetime,
现在我想建议你的是 你不会在你一生中只拥有一辆车
but you're gonna get one body and one mind,and that's all you're going to get.
但你只有一个身体和一个大脑 那是你所拥有的
And that body and mind feels terrific now,but it has to last you a lifetime.
身体和大脑现在感觉良好 但它要跟你一辈子
