40歲的王力宏獲得了伯克利音樂學院的博士學位,並設立「王力宏全額獎學金」,用來獎勵來自中國的年輕音樂人。
下面是王力宏接受伯克利音樂學院授予博士學位的視頻,他還發表了一個3分鐘的英文演講,驚豔了全場。
讓我們一起感受他完美的發音。
在視頻演講中,王力宏用流利的英語真誠地表達了自己對母校授予他榮譽的敬意和感謝。
Oh, my goodness, what an honor. I am just so humbled and excited to be here looking out at all of you.
哦,我的老天,多麼大的一份榮譽。在這裡看著大家,我既誠惶誠恐,又激動萬分。
Being back here on campus is … I feel so proud to have studied here. And … that’s 16 years ago, but … I used to come to Symphony Hall every weekend and get those rush tickets, the student packs, and watch the Boston Symphony Orchestra perform as often as possible, often by myself.
重新回到這裡真的是…我為自己曾在此學習過而感到自豪。已經是16年前了,但是…我以前經常一個人在周末來到交響樂大廳,搶一些所謂的「趕急票」,來欣賞波士頓交響樂團的表演。
And it was one of the highlights of my time here at Berklee, so being here on stage is really unreal. Walking around on campus today was a testament to how far Berklee’s come in the last 16 years. It is beautiful, the campus, the facilities. I was walking by the MP&E, the studios, the equipment, the fitness center. We didn’t have any of these stuffs. So I guess you guys have been doing a pretty good job. So thank you, and congratulations to that. What a time for the East and West in music, in pop culture.
這是我在伯克利學習生活的眾多亮點之一了,所以能來到這個臺上實屬不易。今天我在校園漫步,感受到了母校在這16年間的變化之大。她太美了,無論是環境還是設施。我還路過MP&E,那些工作室,一些設施,對了還有一個健身中心。我們那會兒可沒有這玩意兒。所以校方的努力非常的棒,謝謝你們,也祝賀你們。這是一個東西方在音樂、流行文化中交流的偉大時代。
All of you, music lovers, future musicians, future professional musicians on the stage, and like what Roger just said, it’s so important for us to be ambassadors, to be that bridge, to be ambassadors of peace, and breaking down the walls, bringing people together. Last night … this is an issue that’s so close in my heart, because last night in Los Angeles, my dear friend Jackie Chan was the first person … first Chinese actor ever to win an Oscar, last night! I just want to thank all of you for being here, that’s why we make music, is to connect with people.
在座的各位,無論你是音樂發燒友、未來的音樂人,還是未來專業的舞臺表演音樂家,就像Roger剛所說的,我們要成為大使,這一點非常重要。我們要成為溝通東西方的橋梁,成為和平的使者,我們要消除阻礙,把人和人連接起來。對了,跟大家說一件很激動人心的事情,昨天晚上在洛杉磯,我的好朋友成龍大哥成為了第一個獲得奧斯卡小金人的中國演員,就在昨天晚上。真的感謝大家今天來到這兒,這也是讓我做音樂的原因—把人連接起來。
I』ve never written a song without loving it myself. So for all of you musicians, always follow your heart and always do what you love. I』ve definitely … you know … never convince yourself that what other people are telling you to do is right if you don’t feel like it’s right in your heart. As a musician, it just doesn’t work.
我還從來沒有寫出過一首我自己不愛的歌曲呢。所以,各位音樂人,請跟隨自己的心,做自己愛做的事。如果你內心不認可的事情,那麼無論別人怎麼說,你都別動搖。作為一個音樂人,不這麼做是行不通的。
So work like a bull, I guess … and always have fun. And all the accolades don’t mean anything without your friends and your family to share with. So Thank You to them as well for being here together, and always.
最後,像老黃牛一樣工作,並且保持快樂。另外,我還想說,如果你不能把這份快樂跟你的朋友、家人分享的話,那麼所有的讚美都是沒有意義的。所以,我要感謝今天出席典禮的朋友和家人。
或許王力宏就是通過他的顏值與才華完美定義了什麼才是「偶像」。
