Part Three文化加油站（走进名人）

罗琳在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的讲话

The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity.Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.

So give a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of achievement. Your qualifcations, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two.Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone's total control and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.

参考译文

在挫折中，你会变得更聪明、更坚强，这也意味着你从此拥有了独立生存的能力。只有通过了逆境的考验，你才会真正了解自己和周围的人所赋予你的力量。这些都是历经艰辛才能获得的宝贵财富，比任何资格证书都更有价值。

如果时光倒流，我会告诉21岁的自己，一个人的幸福在于懂得生活不只是一份漂亮的成绩单；你的资格证书、个人简历也不是你的生活——尽管你会看到很多与我同龄，甚至比我还大的人将这些东西与幸福划等号。生活艰难而复杂，出乎任何人的掌控；只有谦逊地认识到这一点，你才能安然度过生活中的潮起潮落。
