演讲稿精选片段
I went to college, I went and worked out five hours a day. And I was working on construction, because in those days in body-building, there was no money. I didn’t have the money for food supplements or anything. So I had to go to work. So I worked in construction, I went to college and worked out in the gym. And at night from 8 o’clock at night to 12 midnight. I went to acting class four times a week. I did all that. There was not one single minute that I wasted. And this is why I‘m standing here today.
在大学里，我每天训练五个小时。同时还在工地里干活，因为那时候做健美的根本没有钱。我没有钱去买食物或其它别的东西，我不得不去工作。我在工地里干活，去大学的健身房健身，从晚上八点一直到午夜十二点，每周还去上四次表演课。我做了所有的这些事情，没有浪费任何一分钟，这就是我今天能够站在这里的原因。
With the age of 20 I went to London, and I won the Mr. Universe Contest as the youngest Mr. Universe ever and it was because I had a goal. You see, if you don't have a vision of where you go, and if you don't have a goal where you go, you drift around and you never end up anywhere.
20岁的时候我去了伦敦,赢了宇宙先生的比赛，成为史上最年轻的宇宙先生。这是因为我一直有这样一个目标。如果你对于自己要去向哪没有任何想法，不知道自己的目标是什么，你将四处漂泊没有终日。
74% of people hate their job in America. The majority of people don't like what they're doing, because they're not doing it, because they didn't have a goaland then followed this goal.They're just aimlessly drift around and there's a job opening, so they get their job because they need to work. But then when you work, it's a chore. It's work. It's not fun. So if you think about it, only a quarter of people really enjoy what they're doing in life.
74%的美国人讨厌他们的工作，大多数人并不喜欢他们正在做的事。因为他们根本不是真正地在“做”，因为他们没有目标也没有努力朝着它奋斗，他们只是毫无目的地漂泊。遇到一份现成的工作时，他们就拿到了一份工作仅仅是出于需要。但真的开始做时却发现它只是乏味琐事，只是工作，毫无趣味。所以你想想看，只有四分之一的人真正在生活中享受他们的工作啊。
So people always ask me, when they saw me in the gym in the pumping iron days, they say why is it that you're working out so hard, five hours a day six hours a day, and you have always a smile on your face? The others are working out just as hard as you do, and they look sour in the face, why is that？
人们经常问我,当他们看到我在健身房里没日没夜地健身时,他们问我为什么这么辛苦地锻炼,一天五六个小时,脸上还一直挂着微笑？那些和你一样辛苦的人,他们的脸上却写满了痛苦，为什么会这样？
I told people all the time, because to me, I am shooting for a goal. In front of me is the Mr. Universe title. So, every rep that I do gets me close to accomplishing the goal. To make this goal this vision turning into reality. Every single set that I do, every repetition of weight that I lift, will get me a step close to turn this goal into a reality.
我每次都这样告诉他们，因为对我来说，我在追逐目标。在我面前的是宇宙先生的称号，所以我做的每一次训练都让我离实现目标又近了一点，让这个目标这个愿景变成现实。我每做的一组练习，我每举起的一次重量，会使我离把目标转化为现实又更近一步。
So, I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound squat; I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound bench press; I couldn't wait to do another 2,000 sit-ups; I couldn't wait for the next exercise. So let me tell you something. Visualizing your goal and going after it makes it fun. You got to have a purpose no matter what you do in life, you got to have the purpose.
所以我等不及想做下一次500磅的深蹲，我等不及想做下一次500磅的卧推，我等不及想做下一次2000个仰卧起坐，我等不及想开始下一次训练。所以我告诉你，设想你的目标并且追寻它真的很有趣，你需要一个目标，无论你在生活中做什么，你必须要有一个目标。
I'm telling you I've never ever had a plan B. I made a full commitment that I'm gonna go be a body-building champion. I made a full commitment that I'm gonna be in America. I made a full commitment that I'm gonna get into show business and I'm going to be a leading man. No matter what it takes I will do the work. I will do the work over and over and over until I get it. And the same is in politics and everything like that. So, to me, it is very dangerous to have a plan B, because you're cutting yourself off from the chance of really succeeding.
我告诉你们我从来没有过备选计划。我竭尽全力去做健美冠军；我竭尽全力留在美国；我竭尽全力进入演艺圈并成为领军人物。无论代价是什么，我都会努力去做。我一次又一次地努力直到获得成功。在政界也一样，其它所有的事情都一样。所以，对我来说有备选计划是很危险的，因为它将会阻断你获得真正成功的机会。
