選自美國(guó)著名女作家安娜?昆德林（Anna Quindlen）在維拉諾瓦大學(xué)（Villanova University）獲得榮譽(yù)博士之后在畢業(yè)典禮上的演講。她分享了自己對(duì)真正生活的理解。
You can learn many things, out there, if you get a real life, a full life, a professional life, yes, but another life, too, a life of love and laughs and a connection to other human beings. Just keep your eyes and ears open. Here you could learn in the classroom. There the classroom is everywhere. The exam comes at the very end. No man ever said on his deathbed I wish I had spent more time at the office.
如果你擁有一種真正的生活，充實(shí)的生活，有自己的事業(yè)，你可以從中學(xué)到很多東西。確實(shí)如此，不過(guò)，別忘了另一種生活。那就是關(guān)愛(ài)與歡笑，是與其他人保持聯(lián)系的生活。要多觀察和傾聽(tīng)。在學(xué)校里，你可以在課堂上學(xué)習(xí)，在外面的世界里，處處是課堂，考試時(shí)間正是你生命走到盡頭的時(shí)候。沒(méi)有人會(huì)在臨死前說(shuō)，我真希望我以前能多花點(diǎn)時(shí)間在辦公室里。
