为梦想执着

——美国加州前州长阿诺德·施瓦辛格在清华大学的演讲 It is wonderful to be here at this university.What a special place.I just looked around a little bit here, it’s a gorgeous, gorgeous place.I want to congratulate you for going to this magnificent university here.Now, the last time I was here in China was five years ago, and then I was promoting my movies.They had a movie festival here, the Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Festival.I remember they showed all my movies for a week—which was a rarity, may I remind you—and they also showed the movies on television.But we also were here to promote Special Olympics, which is an organization that helps people with mental disabilities, so I was here for both reasons.But this time I’m here as the governor of the great state of California.I’m here representing the people of California, and we’re here on a trade mission to see how we can do more business with China and to help each other, because both California is a very fast growing state, and China is a very fast growing country, and there are a lot of things that we can do for one another.But I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to come here today and to talk with the young people;as a matter of fact, to the brightest young people of China.And this is why it is so great to be here at the Tsinghua University, and I’m honored that I was invited here.Now, I read a little bit about the history of Tsinghua, and I learned that actually this school originally prepared students to attend universities in America.Now, I also know that since the attack on our World Trade Centers it has become more and more difficult to go to the universities in America because you need to fill out all kinds of paperwork now and you have to get visas, and it’s very complicated, and you have to wait a much longer period of time to go over there.But let me tell you, things are improving already.I’ve heard that it’s easing up, the restrictions, and it’s easier to get a visa.My young Chinese friends, I want to tell you that in case no one from America has ever invited you, let me do this right now personally.I want to warmly invite all of you here to come to the United States, and especially to come to California, because that’s the happening place.California is the best place.Please come and visit us, we will welcome you.I invite you all to come there and to travel, to meet the American people, and to come there and study in our universities, and some day hopefully you will come and do business over there, or maybe you’ll want to move over there.Whatever your goal is, you’re always welcome.America, after all, let’s not forget, is the land of opportunity.And it’s not only the land of opportunity for Austrians like me, but for Chinese people as well.Remember that.I know that beginning with this century, China is also becoming a land of opportunity.It’s a fast growing place, and as the students of this great university and the citizens of a rising China, I think that you have a great future also here in this country.And today I want to talk to you a little bit about the dreams, about the dreams of your future, and dreams for this country.I want to talk to you a little bit about dreams, because it seems to me that I’m somewhat of an expert in dreams, because I had a lot of my dreams become a reality.So let me just briefly tell you my story, and tell you a little bit about how I started with my career.I think that this story kind of relates a little bit also to you, and also to China.I started way back as a weightlifter.I always liked the idea of lifting weights and being a bodybuilder.From the first moment when I gripped a barbell and held it around the bar and lifted the steel up over my head, I felt this exhilaration, and I knew then that this is something that I’m going to do;that I was in love with that, and this is going to be something that I’m going to do.I’m going to pursue the sport of weightlifting and bodybuilding.Now, I remember the first real workout that I had.Eight miles away from my home village in Austria there was a gymnasium, and I rode to that gymnasium with a bicycle.And there I trained for half an hour, because they said that after half an hour you should stop because otherwise your body will get really sore.But after half an hour I looked at my body, and nothing had happened.So I said, “I’d better work out for another half hour.” So I lifted some more.My strength didn’t improve, I didn’t see the muscles pop out or anything like that, so I trained for another half an hour.And then after another half hour I trained another half hour, and all together I trained two and a half hours.Well, let me tell you something.After two and a half hours—even though they told me that I shouldn’t train that much or I would get really sore—I left the gymnasium, I rode my bicycle home.And after the first mile I got numb, and I couldn’t feel anymore the handle of the bicycle, and I fell off the bike and I fell into the ditch on the side of the road.So I got up again and I tried it again.Another few yards, I fell off the bicycle again.And I tried it three, four more times, and I just couldn’t ride my bicycle because my body was so numb and my legs felt like noodles.Well, let me tell you something.The next morning when I got up, my body was so sore that I couldn’t even lift my arms to comb my hair.I had to have my mother comb my hair, and you know how embarrassing that is.But you know something? I learned a very important lesson, that pain means progress.Pain is progress.Each time my muscles were sore from a workout I knew that they were growing and they were getting stronger.I think there is a real life lesson in that.After two or three years of discipline and determination and working out hard, I actually changed my body, and I changed my strength.And that told me something;that if I could change my body that much, and if I could change the strength of my body that much, then I could also change anything else.I could change my habits, I could change my intelligence, I could change my attitude, my mind, my future, my life.And this is exactly what I have done.I think that that lesson applies to people, and it also applies to countries.You can change, China can change, everyone in the world can change.My parents, of course, I have to tell you, didn’t understand my dreams at all.They were always wondering, they said, “What is he doing? When are you going to get a job, a real job? When are you going to make money?” And all of those questions I got.And they said, “I hope we didn’t raise a bum, someone that doesn’t make money and just wants to live in a gymnasium and think about their bodies.” Well, I endured all of this negative thinking, and the more negative the thinking got, and the more negative the questions got, the stronger and the more positive I became, the stronger I became inside.So of course some of your families maybe think the same way, and this is why I’m mentioning that.Some of your families maybe don’t believe in your dreams.But let me tell you something, my young friends.Keep your dreams.No matter what, keep your dreams.Don’t give up on them, even when you are temporarily defeated or denied.Keep your dreams.I remember the first time I went to the United States and I was competing in a competition, the World Championships in Bodybuilding.I lost.I came in second, and I was devastated.I was crushed.I felt like a loser, a major loser, let me tell you.I cried, as a matter of fact, because I felt like I disappointed my friends and I disappointed myself.But the next day I got my act together, I shifted gears, and I said, “I’m going to learn from that lesson.I’m going to stay here in America.I’m not going to go back to Europe.I’m going to stay in America and I’m going to train with the American champions, I’m going to train the American way.I’m going to eat the American food, I’m going to train with the American machines and the principles.And a year later, in America, I became the World Champion in Bodybuilding.So I think this is a very, very important lesson.And from then on, I continued.My career took off, and everything that I wanted to do I accomplished.First it was to become a champion in bodybuilding.Later on I became a movie star, to do all the great movies, the Conan movies and the Terminator movies and all this.Then I became the governor of the great state of California, of the sixth largest economy in the world.All of this happened because of my dreams, even though other people told me that those dreams were bogus and they were crazy, but I held onto my dreams.And people would always say, no matter what, even in bodybuilding they said I would never make it.And later on in the movies, in Hollywood they said I would not make it.They said, ”You will never make it.You have a German accent.No one in Hollywood has ever made it with a German accent.Yeah, maybe you can play some Nazi roles or something like that, but you cannot become a leading star with an accent.Plus your body, you’re overdeveloped, you have all these muscles.They did Hercules movies 20 years ago, that’s outdated.Now it’s Woody Allen.Woody Allen is in, his body is in.“ And those were the messages.”And Al Pacino, the skinny guy, he is in.But not your body, it’s too big.And your name, Schwarzenegger, it will never fit on a movie poster.Forget it.Forget it, you will never make it.Go back to bodybuilding.“

Well, the rest is history.After Terminator 3, I became the highest paid movie star in Hollywood.And let me tell you something, it continued on.Even when I ran for governor people said, ”Arnold, you will never make it.You will never become governor of California.What do you know about government?“ Well, the fact is, I knew exactly as much about government as the rest of the people knew in California, which is that government is out of touch, and it’s out of sync with the people, and it needed a shakeup.So I didn’t listen to all those people that said I would never make it.I continued campaigning, I listened to my dreams, and the rest also is history.I became governor.So always it just carried me on, those dreams.So bodybuilding gave me the confidence, movies gave me the money, and pubic service and being a governor gave me a purpose larger than myself.And that is the brief story of my dreams and a brief story of my early life, and how my dreams made me successful.A person, of course, should not be stingy with their dreams.So I, of course, don’t just think and dream about myself, but I also have dreams for you, and dreams for China.So let me just talk a little bit about that.China’s economy has become an engine of human progress, lifting millions of people out of poverty.This is a moral and economic good for China and for the rest of the world.I often read that China’s economy is likely to become the largest in the world over the next 50 years, and I think this is terrific.This does not mean, of course, that America will get poorer;it just means that China will get richer, and the United States will benefit from China’s progress as much as the U.S.benefited from the rise of Western Europe after World War II.Some in my country fear that China’s research and development will overtake America’s, but I believe that America and the world will benefit from China’s scientific and technological advances.I think we will benefit from that.If China makes advances in stem cell research, the rest of the world will benefit from that.If China discovers an energy breakthrough, this is good for the rest of the world, such as the benefit of a free market.Some fear that China will buy up American companies, but that fear also existed in the ‘80s, when America feared that Japan was going to buy up American companies.So what? It was just good, and to the benefit of America.We should welcome China’s investment in American companies, just as we welcome the billions of dollars that China has invested in U.S.treasury bonds.This shows that China has faith in America, and American investment in China shows that we have faith in you.So I believe that China and U.S.economic relations will become even closer in the years ahead.Certainly I realize that we do not agree on everything, but who does? Certainly I realize that China has major hurdles to overcome, but it is not for me to say how China should overcome those hurdles and achieve its dreams.But I can tell you, however, what has given America such energy and strength over the last 200 years, and perhaps there are some insights in this for China.America is a nation that believes in the power of the individual, and what the individual can accomplish, no matter the color, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background of the individual.Recently, as you probably have read, Rosa Parks, a former seamstress married to a barber, married to a hairdresser, died, and she lay in honor in the Rotunda of the U.S.Capitol in Washington.People from around America came to say farewell to her and to thank her for changing our history and for changing our society.Now, what did this 92 year-old black woman do that deserved such great honor? What did she do? Well, in 1955, the days of racial segregation, she had refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man.She had refused.Her simple refusal to move to the back of the bus put into motion events that led to my country’s great civil rights movement.The small protest of a woman that maybe weighed less than 100 lbs.brought down a racist system.As you can see, the individual can make a difference.Let me tell you about another individual, Ken Behring, a millionaire California businessman who found his passion in giving wheelchairs to poor and physically disabled people all around the globe, including China.He says that he has met people who have spent years in rooms with no window, just lying there and staring up at the ceiling, never seeing the outside world unless someone was willing to pick up that person and take them outside to show them the world.He says that it’s no wonder so many of those physically disabled people dream about being a bird.Mr.Behring says that most of us think that a wheelchair would be a confinement, but to millions of people it is not a confinement, it is freedom, freedom to move and to go to school, freedom to vote, freedom to get a job, and freedom for hope for the future.He has given freedom and wheelchairs to 400,000 people around the world.The individual can make a difference.My mother-in-law, Eunice Kennedy Shriver—I always like to mention her, because it gets me on the good side of her—she, for instance, started an organization called Special Olympics.She stared Special Olympics which is for people with mental disabilities.And of course when she started that organization she was told by the experts, ”Don’t do it.You cannot take people with mental disabilities out of mental institutions and have them participate in sports events.They will drown in the swimming pools.They will kill each other out there, they will hurt each other.Don’t do it.“ But Eunice Kennedy Shriver had a dream and a passion, and today millions of people compete in Special Olympics around the world, including right here in China.This is why I was here five years ago.Five years ago you had 50,000 participants in the Special Olympics.Today, five years later, you have 500,000 participants in Special Olympics.500,000 people are getting a chance to participate in sports programs, getting a chance to have health care, have a chance to be treated equally, with respect and with tolerance.So Eunice Kennedy Shriver exemplifies that the individual can make a difference.And I think what I’m trying to say to you is that each and every one of you can make a difference.So as you study and as you become smarter, and as you become richer, think about that, that there are millions of people that need your help.Now, you maybe ask yourself the question, what can I do? Well, let me tell you.Even though you maybe have no money or anything, you can go out and help a child that has not yet learned yet how to read.You maybe can go out and help a person that is physically handicapped, to lift them up and to take them outside so they can see the world.There are so many different things that you can do.You maybe can take a person that is mentally disabled, to take them to a soccer game.There are all kinds of things that the individual can do to reach out and to help.Imagine what could be accomplished if the dreams of China’s 1.3 billion individuals could be unleashed.Imagine what could happen.Each of you here has the power of the individual within you, you have the power of your dreams within you, and these are tremendous powers.You’re young, you’re educated, and you are the very best China has to offer.My young Chinese friends, I believe in your dreams.I believe that you can achieve them, and I believe you can make a difference, a big difference.All you have to do is just make the commitment.All you have to do is create the action and commit, and say, ”Let’s do it." Go out and do it.I’m asking you.Do it for yourself, do it for China, and do it for the good of the world.Thank you very much for listening.Thank you.很高兴来到这所大学。这真是一个特别的地方。我刚才到处看了一下，这是一个很棒、很棒的地方。祝贺你们能到这么好的大学学习。

上一次我来中国是五年前，当时是来宣传我的电影。他们在这里举办了一个电影节，名叫“阿诺德·施瓦辛格电影节”。我记得他们在一周时间内放映了我所有的电影——要知道，这是很难得的——他们还通过电视台播放了这些影片。但是我们当时来这里还有另一项任务，就是宣传特殊奥林匹克运动会，它专为帮助智障人士而设立。所以上一次我来是有两个目的。

但是这一次我的身份是加利福尼亚州州长，代表加利福尼亚人民。我们来了一个贸易代表团，看看怎样才能扩大与贵国的商业合作，并且相互帮助，因为加利福尼亚是一个飞速发展的州，中国是一个飞速发展的国家，我们在很多方面都能相互合作。

但是，我不想错过今天来这里与年轻人交谈的机会。其实，你们是中国最优秀的青年。所以能来到清华大学是我的荣幸，我很荣幸能受到邀请。

我阅读了一些关于清华历史的资料，了解到其实这所学校最初是为了培养学生去美国的大学深造而设立。我还知道，自从“9·11”事件以来，去美国大学留学的难度越来越高，因为现在你们需要填写一大堆资料，要得到签证，这非常复杂，你们必须等待比以前长得多的时间才能成行。但是听我说，情况已经有所好转。我听说限制已经有所缓和，得到签证的难度降低了。我年轻的中国朋友，我想告诉你们，即便你们未曾受到任何美国人的邀请，现在我就以私人身份邀请你们。我想热情邀请你们所有人前去美国，特别是去加利福尼亚，因为那是时尚之都。加利福尼亚是最好的地方。

请前去访问，我们会欢迎你们。我邀请你们所有人去旅游，去见见美国人民，去我们的大学深造，希望有一天你们会去那里做生意，或者可能是定居。不论你是什么目标，我们都永远欢迎。毕竟，我们不要忘记，美国是充满机遇的国度。不论是对于我这样的奥地利人，还是中国人，都是如此。记住这一点。

据我所知，本世纪以来，中国也在不断孕育着机会，日新月异。你们是这所伟大的学校的学生，也是崛起的中国的公民，我相信你们在中国也会拥有美好的未来。

今天，我想与你们聊聊梦想，对于你们未来的梦想，对于这个国家梦想。我想与你们聊聊梦想，因为我似乎是一个梦想专家，我实现了自己的许多梦想。所以让我向你们讲述我的故事，讲述我如何开始我的职业生涯。我认为这个故事与你们，也与中国有些许关联。

一开始我是个举重运动员。我一直喜欢举重和健美。当我第一次抓起杠铃，稳稳握住，并高举过头顶，我就一直享受这份愉悦，我知道这就是我要做的事情；我喜爱举重，这将是我要做的事情。我要从事举重和健美运动。

我记得自己的第一次真正的训练。我老家在澳大利亚，离我们村庄八英里远的地方有一座体育馆，我骑车过去。在那里训练了半个小时，因为他们说半小时后你要停下来休息，否则身体会酸痛。但是半小时后我看着自己的身体，什么事也没有。我说：“我还是再练半小时吧。”所以我举了更多。我的力量没有增强，我没有发现肌肉隆起，或者类似的事情。于是我又练了半小时，之后又是半小时，再之后又是半小时，共计两个半小时。

两个半小时之后，我离开了体育馆，骑车回家。虽然他们告诉我不应该练那么久，否则身体会酸痛。骑了一英里之后，我感觉身体发麻，再也握不住自行车把手，摔了下来掉进路边的沟里。爬起来后我试图再骑。骑了几码之后我又摔下了车。我又试了三四次，但就是没法骑车，因为我的身体已经麻木了，我的腿像面条一样打颤。

第二天早晨起床后，我浑身酸痛，甚至没法举起手臂梳头。我不得不让我妈妈帮我梳头，你们知道那有多么尴尬。但你们知道吗？我学到了非常重要的一课，那就是痛苦意味着进步。痛苦就是进步。每一次训练之后我的肌肉都酸痛不已，但我知道那是它们在生长，变得更加强壮。

我认为这是现实生活的宝贵经验。在坚持两三年艰苦训练之后，我的形体和力量都发生了改变。我从中学到了一些东西，那就是：既然我可以改变我的形体，既然我可以改变我身体的力量，那么我也可以改变其它任何事情。我可以改变我的习惯，我可以改变我的智力，我可以改变我的态度、我的思想、我的未来和我的人生。这正是我已经做过的事情。我觉得这个经验也适用于其他人，适用于各个国家。你们可以改变，中国可以改变，世界上每一个人都可以改变。

当然，我必须告诉你们，我的父母起初完全无法理解我的梦想。他们总是困惑，他们说：“你在干什么？你打算什么时候找一份工作，一份真正的工作？你打算什么时候挣钱？”我听到的都是这样的问题。他们还说：“我希望我们没有养一个乞丐，一个不会挣钱，只想住在体育馆里成天想着自己形体的人。”好吧，我忍受了所有这些消极的想法。这些想法和问题越消极，我就变得越积极，我的内心就变得越强大。

之所以说这些是因为我觉得你们中有一部分人的家人可能会有同样的想法。他们可能不相信你们的梦想。但是让我告诉你们，我年轻的朋友们，坚持你们的梦想。无论如何，坚持你们的梦想。不要放弃，即便遭遇打击和挫折。坚持你们的梦想。

我记得我第一次去美国，去参加世界健美锦标赛，我输了。我只得了第二名，我崩溃了。我感觉像是个失败者，彻头彻尾的失败者。而且，我还哭了，因为我觉得我辜负了我的朋友们，还有我自己。但是第二天，我就重整旗鼓，对自己说：“我要吸取这个教训。我要留在美国。我不回欧洲了。我要留在美国，和那些冠军一起训练，以美国的方式训练。我要吃美国的食物，使用美国的运动器械和原理。”一年以后，在美国，我成为了世界健美冠军。所以，我觉得这是很重要的一课。

从那时起，我一步一个脚印。我的职业生涯开始腾飞，所有我想做的事都如愿以偿。先是成为了世界健美冠军，后来变成了电影明星，出演的都是伟大的影片，《蛮王柯南》系列和《终结者》系列，还有其他的。之后，我成为了加利福尼亚州的州长。这一切的发生都是因为我的梦想，即使其他人告诉我那些梦想不切实际，太过疯狂，我依然坚持不懈。

不论我做什么，即便是健身，总有人会说我不可能成功。后来拍电影，在好莱坞他们也说我不会成功。他们说：“你不可能成功的。你有德国口音，在好莱坞从来没有带德国口音的人成功过。是的，你或许能演一些纳粹之类的角色，但是因为你有口音，你不可能成为一线巨星。还有你的身体，你的肌肉过于发达了。20年前他们拍过赫拉克勒斯的电影，但是现在过时了。现在是伍迪·艾伦的时代。伍迪·艾伦很红，他的身材很红。”都是一些这样的信息。“还有阿尔·帕西诺，瘦得皮包骨头，他也很红。但是你不行，太壮硕了。别想了，你不会成功的。回去健身吧。”

好了，其他的就不提了。《终结者3》上映后，我成了好莱坞片酬最高的影星。听我说，故事还没完。即使当我竞选州长时，人们也说：“阿诺德，你不会成功的。你不会成为加利福尼亚州州长的。你对政府了解多少呢？”好吧，事实是，我对于政府的了解和其他加州人民一样，那就是政府遥不可及，高高在上，这亟待改变。所以我没有在乎那些人的话。我继续竞选，我坚持自己的梦想，其他的也不提了。我成功当选。

那些梦想一直是我前行的动力。健美给了我信心，电影给了我金钱，为人民服务和州长的工作给了我比实现自我更大的目标。以上就是我的梦想，我的早年生活，还有我的梦想如何帮助我取得成功。

当然，人不应吝啬梦想。所以我不仅有自己的梦想，也有对你们，对中国的梦想。让我慢慢道来。中国的经济已经变成了人类进步的引擎，使数百万人摆脱了贫困。对于中国和全世界而言，这是道德和经济的双重成功。我经常读到新闻，说在接下来的五十年，中国可能会成为世界最大的经济体。我认为这很好。当然，这并不意味着美国会变得贫穷；只是意味着中国会变得富裕，美国也会从中国的发展中获益，一如二战后美国从西欧的崛起中获益。

我可以告诉你们，在过去的两百年里，美国的能量和力量源泉是什么，或许中国可以从中学到一些东西。美国信奉个人能力，以及个人所能取得的成就，不论其肤色、宗教、种族背景如何。

让我向你们介绍另一个人，肯·贝林，他是一个加州的商人，身价百万。他也找到了自己的热情所在，向全世界（包括中国）的贫困残疾人赠送轮椅。他说他遇见过一些人，多年来受困于没有窗子的房间，成天躺在床上盯着天花板，从来没有见过外面的世界，除非有人愿意背起他们，带他们出去。他说难怪这么多残疾人都梦想变成一只小鸟。贝林先生说我们很多人认为轮椅是一种禁锢，但是对于数百万残疾人而言，它不是禁锢，而是自由，行动和上学的自由，投票的自由，求职的自由，展望未来的自由。他已经为全世界40万人带去了自由和轮椅。这就是个人的力量。

我的岳母，尤妮斯·肯尼迪·施莱佛——我总是喜欢提到她，因为她的善良——例如，她创办了特殊奥林匹克运动会，专为智障人士设立。当然，设立之初专家们告诉她：“不行，你不能把智障人士带出精神病院去参加体育活动。他们会在游泳池里溺水，他们会自相残杀，互相伤害。不要这样做。”但是尤妮斯·肯尼迪·施莱佛有梦想，有激情。今天全世界有几百万人在特殊奥林匹克运动会上比拼，包括中国。这就是我五年前来这里的原因。五年前，一共有50万人参加了特殊奥林匹克运动会。50万人得到了一个参加体育比赛的机会，得到了医疗保健的机会，得到了被平等对待的机会，还有尊敬和宽容。这就是个人的力量。尤妮斯·肯尼迪·施莱佛是又一个例子。

我想告诉你们的是你们每一个人都具有这种力量。所以，当你们的学识不断丰富，当你们变得更聪明，更富有，请想一想，有数百万人需要你们的帮助。现在，你们可以问自己一个问题，我能做什么？让我告诉你们。即便你们可能没有钱，甚至一无所有，你们依然可以走出去，教一个孩子学会阅读。你们可以走出去帮助残疾人，抱起他们，走到户外，让他们看看外面的世界。你们可以做太多不同的事情。你们可以带智障人士去看一场足球赛。个人可以通过做各种各样的事，来伸出援手，帮助他人。

设想一下，如果全中国13亿人民都能放飞各自的梦想，将会取得多大的成就。设想一下美妙的前景。你们每一个人都有改变的力量，都有梦想的力量，这些力量是无穷的。你们朝气蓬勃，你们学识丰富，你们是中国培养的精英。我年轻的朋友们，我相信你们的梦想。我相信你们可以梦想成真，我相信你们可以做出改变，巨大的改变。你们要做的只是为之奉献，你们要做的就是把梦想付诸行动并全心投入，对自己说：“让我们放手去做。”

谢谢大家！

我出道时是个举重运动员。自从第一次抓紧杠铃、将其高高举过头顶之际，我就为此感到异常兴奋。那时我知道，这就是我将来要做的事情。

我还记得最初那次真正的训练。当时我骑着自行车前往一家健身房，那儿离我家所在的奥地利小村庄有

八英里之遥。在那里我训练了半个钟头，因为他们说训练必须半小时一停，否则你会全身酸痛。后来我看看自己的身体，啥事没有！于是我说，“最好再练半小时吧。”就又多举了几下。可是力量并未因此增强，也不见肌肉鼓起来。然后我又练了半小时，再加半小时……结果总共练了两个半小时。

后来，我骑车回家了。刚走一英里，我顿觉四肢麻木，连车把都感觉不到了，结果整个人从车上摔下来，掉进了路边的水沟里。第二天早上起床，我浑身酸痛，连举手梳头都无能为力，只好叫我母亲替我梳头——这真令人难堪！可你知道吗，我获得了非常重要的一次教训，即：要想进步就得吃苦。

经过两三年意志上的磨练和体力上的锻炼，我确实改造了自己的身体，气力也变大了。

这件事告诉我，如果能大大地改变身体，我就能改变一切：我能改变习惯，改变智力，改变态度，改变思想，改变未来，改变人生。事实上我已经做到了。我想这一教训适用于人，也适用于国家。你能改变，中国能改变，世界上每个人都能变。

我还记得第一次到美国参加世界健美锦标赛。当时我输了，绝望无比。我就像一个败者，一个遭受惨败的人。我哭了，事实上因为我感到让朋友失望了，也让自己失望了。但第二天，我重振旗鼓，改变了态度，并对自己说，“我要吸取教训。”从那时起，我不断努力，事业从此辉煌腾达，我实现了自己想做的一切——首先成为健美冠军，接着成为电影明星，后来当上了世界第六大经济体——加利福尼亚州的州长。

这一切的实现都是因为我的梦想，即使别人说我的那些梦想都是虚伪而荒唐的，但是我仍坚持不弃。在好莱坞，他们曾说，“你决不可能成功，你一口德国音。在好莱坞还没有一个说话带德国音的人能成功的。饰演一些纳粹角色你倒是可以，但有口音的人想成为主角是不可能的。还有你的体形，一身肌肉，太过发达了！二十前他们是拍过大力士的影片，不过早过时了。还有你的名字，施瓦辛格，根本不适合上电影海报。算了，你不会成功的。还是回去搞你的健美运动去吧！”

其余的都成了往事。演完《终结者III》之后，我便成为好莱坞片酬最高的明星。但外界的质疑从未中断过。我竞选州长时还有人说，“阿诺，你永远当不上加州州长。你也懂政治？”而我依然参加了竞选。我相信自己的梦想，其余的都已成昨日黄花。我最终当上了州长。因此，那些梦想总引导着我不断向前

篇3：施瓦辛格在清华大学的演讲中英文对照

尊敬的Mr.Steve Edwards先生，各位同学和老师，女士们、先生们：

非常荣幸受邀来到芝加哥大学，并在此致辞。如著名建筑家弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特所言：“我终究认为芝加哥将是世界上留存下来的最美丽、最伟大的城市。”

但你们是否知晓，在中国，芝加哥的大学更出名。那些希望学费物有所值的家长们尤其对这所大学感兴趣，因为这里“乐趣已死”。

芝加哥大学培养了无数的音乐家、科学家和政治家。你们中一些人如果选择了这样的道路，未来也会成为其中的一员。祝福你们。

我猜想，这里的学生大都出生在90年代，在中国他们被称为90后。这个时代出生的人有一个共同之处，就是几乎在同一时间获取最新信息。

对于我们这代人，当我得知世界上有个操作系统叫Windows时，比尔·盖茨先生已经是世界首富了。而现在，太平洋彼岸中国时尚的年轻人与这里一样，对每次新版苹果产品的发布翘首以待。《速度与激情7》在北京和芝加哥的电影院差不多同时上映。

我也许有些理想化，总在想，在海量信息全球同步的今天，年轻一代能否更加宽容、能否更好地相互理解，从而寻求新的途径来构建维系持久和平的全球秩序？

奥巴马总统于几年前的父亲节在这里发表过一个演讲。他说，作为家长，需要传递给后代最重要的价值是同理心，能换位思考，设身处地去认识世界。

今天我就想先谈谈中国在世界变迁中的经历。基辛格博士《论世界秩序》一书在中国引起了热烈讨论。书中叙述了威斯特伐利亚体系以来400多年的大国兴衰，强国之间一而再、再而三以战争方式争夺世界权力。

但是，基辛格博士也谈到，威斯特法利亚体系不具普遍性，在世界其他地区曾有不同的体系，彼此孤立地并存。众所周知，那时还没有网络的存在。

就中国而言，悠久的历史造就了独特的治理方式、价值观念和文化传统，时至今日仍有影响。因而我们对世界的观念也许建立在不同的基础上。我可以沿着书中世界秩序演变的轨迹，举几个中国历史上的例子：

你们大概都曾经读到过，1648年欧洲达成威斯特伐利亚系列和约以结束“30年战争”，之后的数百年，初步建立起以主权国家为基础的现代意义上的秩序,确立了内政自治原则。随后便把殖民统治推向世界其他地方，包括美洲，而美国是1783年才摆脱了殖民统治，宣布独立。

而早在此之前，亚洲长期延续着自己独特方式，各国和睦相处。当时中国的清王朝仍处于鼎盛时期，到18世纪中国人口已超过欧洲国家总和。但是，这个延续近两千年的田园般宁静在19世纪中叶被欧洲帝国打破。

到了1919年，当欧洲签署凡尔赛和约以结束第一次世界大战之时，亚洲大部分地区已沦为欧洲的殖民地，中国的领土完整也屡遭侵犯。中国最后一个封建皇帝被迫退位，政治精英构建共和体制和西式议会的种种努力纷纷失败，国家陷入内乱。年轻人开始从其他方向寻找解决问题的道路。

中国共产党就是在这样的背景之下，于1921年由几十个人建立的，许多都是20多岁的年青人。他们不比你们年长多少。（看看年轻人是怎样改变着世界，真是神奇！）

1941年，当《时代》周刊创办人亨利·卢斯宣告“美国世纪”来临之际，中国约2/3的国土被日本军国主义的铁蹄蹂躏，战争中伤亡人员达到3500万人。今年九月，中国将隆重纪念抗日战争胜利70周年，缅怀英烈、牢记历史、珍惜和平。中国和美国当时并肩作战，我们不会忘记那些美国飞行员的英勇事迹。

1949年中国终于重获和平，建立起中华人民共和国，但是当时的国家满目疮痍，经济近于崩溃，人均寿命不足35岁，文盲率达到90%以上。

换句话说，二战后多年，当两个超级大国激烈争夺世界权力、建立起所谓的恐怖平衡之际，中国的主要任务是解决生存问题，包括满足庞大人口的吃饭需求。我们也走过不少弯路，年少时经历的饥饿和困惑我记忆犹新。

二十世纪70年代末，中国与世界的关系翻开了新的一页。新中国恢复联合国合法席位。邓小平领导的改革开放使中国重新融入世界经济。

因此，当中国人讲到国际体系时，通常指的是中国作为成员参与的、以联合国为核心的国际机构和机制。鉴于惨痛的历史教训，中国一直信守和遵循《联合国宪章》关于主权平等和不干涉别国内政的原则。习近平主席不久前出席万隆会议60周年纪念峰会，重申了和平共处五项原则。

我讲述这段历史想表达的是，在讨论历史和秩序时，需要注意到各国有着非常不同的经历,这对我们观念的形成有很大影响。这也是为什么，各国在一些问题上的感受不尽相同。

我想讲的第二点是如何看中国的成长。显然，在中国获得快速发展之时，世界对中国的了解和理解并没有同步增长。一位常年观察中国的欧洲记者朋友如此概括说，西方媒体的中国报道可以归纳为三类：

一是中国太大——人口多、城市大，现在连奢侈品市场都很大。

二是中国太坏——好像中国总是在做错事，看不顺眼。

三是中国太怪——吃奇怪的食物，有奇怪的行为方式。

我经常接待来自美国国会的代表团，很多人第一次来中国。令他们印象最深的是天天碰见的普通中国人，比如在故宫博物院里摩肩擦踵的农民工游客、和那些梦想成为下一个马云的年轻创客等等。

实际上，是普通中国人代表了中国的真实面貌和国家的进步。是他们推动着中国走向富强和成功。

那么，成长起来的中国想有一个什么样的世界秩序呢？未来的前景是否如某些学者预见的，必然是中美争夺世界权力？这是我想讲的第三点。

我常常阅读美国政治家撰写的回忆录，美国对世界事务的深入和有效参与令人印象深刻。但我也时常感叹于美国对其他国家的事务也如此热情和强势地介入。

掩卷思量，不禁要问，美国人心目中的世界秩序，是否就是美国治下的世界呢？是否就是仅以美国的价值观和国家利益为核心理念、以美国主导的同盟体系为支撑？而对于新兴大国来说，是否面对的只有臣服或挑战这两个选项？换做是美国人，你们又当作何选择？

中国就是这样一个新兴的大国，而且并非依靠炮舰开路成长起来的，我们是结合了自身的天然优势与全球化的机遇发展起来的。欧洲引领工业化以来，资金、技术、市场、资源和人才主要集中在以欧美为中心的西方世界，而如今，所有这些要素都在全球化推动下开始向外扩散。

顺着这个浪潮，中国坚持改革，不断释放巨大的政策红利，实现了30年GDP年均9%的增长，极大地提高了人民的生活水平，并发展成为世界第二大经济体。今日中国是130多个国家的最大贸易伙伴。有人甚至预测，中国经济总量将在2020年后达到世界第一位。

但是，当一些国际学者讨论新的世界权力分配问题时，他们会惊讶地发现大多数中国人很淡定，对传统意义上的所谓世界权力转移或者“世界权力之争”没有表现出太大的兴趣。

对中国人而言，我经常看到的是在标准上存在不一致的问题。例如，在西方国家，当有人滥杀无辜时，他们被视为恐怖分子；而这样的事情发生在中国就被看作是民族或者是政治问题。当中国的邻国在领土问题上做出挑衅的姿态时，美国不置一词；而当中国捍卫自身权益时，就常被说成是咄咄逼人或者胁迫别国。

如果对最基本的原则前提都没有共同的基础，我们何以在世界秩序演进这样的问题上进行有意义的讨论呢？就像广东人形容人与人无法沟通时讲的：是“鸡同鸭讲”。

中国目前的重心还在于解决大量棘手的国内难题，包括克服环境污染、反腐败、缓解经济下行、更好地保障民生等等。

同时，在应该构建什么样的未来世界秩序上，中国学者也进行着务实的讨论。大家可能各持观点，但一个共识是：世界已经发生变化，许多旧的概念失去了意义。

首先，在当今世界，不同的秩序像过去那样，在各地区隔绝地共同存在、应对不同的问题，这种可能性已经没有了。今天的秩序需要具有开放性，要逐步调整以适应新的现实和多元的观点。

其二，再通过大国之间战争的方式实现“权力转移”，重新决定新的力量平衡，也没有可能了，因为世界各国关系已经如此紧密交织。

其三，我们所面对的大量新型问题都是全球性的，超越了主权国家和区域的边界。像埃博拉病毒、ISIS、像试图乘船从非洲前往欧洲的人们。需要新的思维和新型全球框架或者说是全球秩序，去应对新型挑战。

令人有所宽慰的是，进入21世纪，人类社会已经开始进行许多有意义的实践，用创新和合作的办法应对和解决新的问题，例如G20和全球气候变化大会。中国也倡导了“一带一路”和亚投行，来增强亚洲和亚欧大陆之间的互联联通。这些实践是对现有国际体系和合作框架的补充，将促进现有国际体系朝着更加公正合理和更具包容性的方向发展。

基辛格《论世界秩序》一书是以一种很有深意的设问方式结束的：“我们将去向何方？”显然，历史又来到了新的转折路口，关键是将向哪里转变。

这个问题也适用于中美两国，我们是否有决心和智慧走出大国冲突的历史窠臼？能否合作开创新型大国关系和新型秩序？为此，习近平主席向奥巴马总统提出建立中美新型大国关系。

中美两国之间尽管受到误解和偏见的干扰，实际上在许多领域都建立起密切的伙伴关系。有人甚至把两国比作不情愿的双胞胎。两国互信的水平也相当令人印象深刻了。否则，我们何以相互颁发十年有效期签证？由此可见，年青一代继承的两国关系积极因素大大多于负面因素。

建立新型大国关系前无古人，不会一帆风顺。但双方都认识到，要加强合作、管控分歧，为亚洲和世界构建面向和平与发展的稳定战略框架。这既是两国关系的方向，又是我们共同的责任。

所以，最后我想说的是，虽然21世纪全球秩序的演进并不容易，也不是朝夕可得之事。但未来寄望于年轻一代，我相信，你们一定会拿出很好的答案！谢谢大家！

China’sGrowth and the Debates on Order Speechby Fu Ying Chairperson of Foreign Affairs Committee of the National People’sCongress, 2015-5-19

The University of Chicago

Thank you, Alan and Mr.Steve Edwards，Members of the Faculty and Students，Ladies and Gentlemen，It is a great honor for me to address you today.As the renowned architect Frank(Lloyd)Wright said, “Eventually I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.”

But I wonder if you know that, in China, Chicago is more famous for its University.This university is especially attractive to the parents who want to get their money’s worth, as this is known as a place “where fun has come to die”.A great many musicians, scientists and politicians were nurtured here.And I am sure some of you will one day join them if you so choose.You have my best wishes.I guess, most of the students here were born after 1990.In China, we call people like you“90hou”, meaning the post-90 generation.You share one thing in common, that is, you are in synchronization with latest development of the world.For my generation, by the time I first heard of an operating system called Windows, Mr.Bill Gates was already the richest man on earth.Now trendy Chinese wait on tenterhooks for every iPhone launch just like here.“Fast & Furious 7” is released in Beijing cinemas at about the same time as in Chicago.I hope I am not too idealistic in thinking that since so much information is shared among young people all over the world, shouldn’t the younger generation be more open and more ready to understand each other? Isn’t it possible to find a new way to build a global order capable of ensuring lasting peace?

When your President Obama spoke here on a father’s day a few years ago, he said, the most important thing for the parents is to pass along the value of empathy---the ability to stand in somebody else’s shoes;to look at the world through their eyes.In that regard, the first point of my speech today is about China’s experience with the evolving world order.Dr.Kissinger’s latest book World Order set off lots of discussion in China.It is absorbing to read the 400 years of rise and fall of powers since the Westphalia peace conference, and the wars and conflicts that led to power shifting.However, as the book also pointed out, the Westphalian system was, as not universal, but one of the many systems that coexisted and yet in isolation from each other given the circumstances.Obviously, they didn’t have the internet.While in China, where history had been carrying on for a long time, a different system of governance, values and traditions were nurtured, which have an influence to the present day.So our view of history may have a different base.Let me pick up a few moments of history along the evolution of world order laid down in that book.As you probably remember in your reading that, it was in 1648, Europe finalized the Westphalia Treaty to end the Thirty Years’ War and established a modern sense of order among nation states, recognizing their sovereignty and self-determination of internal affairs.Then it spread its colonial power tomany corners of the world, including America and the United States freed itselfand declared independence in 1776.In this period in Asia, the long and generally peaceful relationship had continued.China’s Qing Dynasty was in its prime and the population in the 18th century was more than the European countries put together.But this serenity for almost2,000 years was broken when the European imperialists arrived in the middle of19th century.By the time the Versailles Treaty was signed in 1919 at the end of the First World War, most part of Asia was colonized and China’s territorial integrity too had been violated.By then, the last emperor of China had abdicated.The attempt by political elites to install a republic and western style parliamentary system had failed once and again in one way or another.The country was descending into chaos and conflicts.The young generation looked in other directions for a solution.It was in this context that the Communist Party of China was set up in 1921 by a dozen or so young people mostly in their late 20s, not much older than you.(It’s amazing how young people change the world.)

Fast forward to 1941, when Henry Luce of Time Magazine stated the arrival of the American Century, two thirds of China’s territory fell under Japanese occupation.35million people died or wounded in war.China will host a major commemoration September this year to mark the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War against Japanese Aggression.We will remember the heroes, reflect on history and the value of peace.China and the U.S.fought on the same side, and we will never forget the heroic American pilots who helped China during the war.When peace did come in 1949 and the PRC was founded, the economy was on the brink, average life expectancy was under 35 years and more than 90 percent of the population was illiterate.In other words, for many years following the end of the Second World War, when the two super powers contested for world power, achieving a sort of balance of terror, China’s main concern was its very survival, not least feeding its big population.There were many setbacks along the way in China.I still have a keen memory of the hunger and confusion of my younger days.In the late1970s China’s relationship with the world turned a new page.The Mainland regained China’s legal seat at the UN.The policy of reform and opening to the outside world led by Deng Xiaoping enabled China to reconnect with the world economy.So when the Chinese talk about the international system, we are referring to the institutions with the UN at the center, and to which China has committed ever since.Learnt from its painful history, China believes in the principles of equality among all sovereign nations and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries as enshrined in the UN Charter.Chinese President Xi Jinping, when attending the event marking the 60th anniversary of the Bandung Conference, reiterated the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence.The reason I took you on this brief journey is to illustrate that when discussing world order, we should be mindful of different experiences of history and their impact on our perspectives.And we may not have the same feeling for certain things.Here comes my second point.How to look at China today? Now China has very much grown.But, I have to say, knowledge and understanding of China in the outside world, especially in Western countries, hasn’t quite kept up.A friend of mine, European journalist and a keen observer of China, summed up western media reporting on China into three categories.China is either

Incredibly big –biggest population, biggest cities, even big demand for luxury goods.or China is so bad – doing all the wrong things and not fitting into the norms.and China is so weird – eating weird stuff and having weird ways of doing things.I receive many members of the US Congress often making their first visits to China.What strikes them the most is their encounters with ordinary Chinese, such as the migrant workers they bump into while visiting the Palace Museum, or young makers whose ambition is to be the next Jack Ma of Alibaba.The ordinary people represent the true face of China and they are the real driving force for China to grow strong and successful.So my third point is, what kind of future world order does China want to be part of? Is the future destined to be a confrontation between China and the US for world power as some suggest?

I often read memoirs by American politicians and I am always fascinated about how the US is deeply and effectively involved in the world affairs.Not only so, it’s equally enthusiastic about the internal affairs of other countries.One cannot help but wonder: is the prevalent understanding of world order amongst Americans a world dominated by US rules and power? Is it only centered on American values and interests and supported by US alliances? Does that mean that from the US perspective, rising powers only have two choices: to submit or to challenge? What would you do if you were in this(our)situation?

China is one such rising power.It has grown largely by marrying its natural advantages to the opportunities offered by globalization rather than “flag before trade”.Capital, markets, resources and talents that had accumulated in western countries since industrialization, now have spread outward due to globalization.Riding on this tide, China has made continued policy reforms and achieved 9% of growth for 30 years, allowing great improvement of people’s living standard, and growing into the world’s second biggest economy.It is now the first trading partner to130 countries.It is even predicted that, China’s economy will be the world’s biggest by 2020.And yet, international academics found, to their disbelieve that, most Chinese are disinterested in the debate about a new shifting of world power or power competition in the traditional sense.For us in China, we see inconsistencies at play.For example, if someone or some groups kill innocent people in western countries, they are terrorists.Yet if the same thing happens in China, it’s often viewed as ethnic or political issues by foreign observers.When China’s neighbors act provocatively on territorial issues, the US turns its head away.Yet when China defends its interests, it is described as either assertive or a bully.If we cannot even agree on the most basic premises, how can we have a meaningful debate on the evolution of world order? In Guangdong, when people are talking past each other, they are described as having a “dialogue between chicken and duck”.China’s focus remains the many domestic challenges, such as environmental pollution, fighting corruption, countering the economic slow-down, improving the livelihood of the people.On the question of what future world order should look like, the discussions in China are more pragmatic.Though views still differ, one thing people all agree on is that the world has changed.Many old concepts have lost relevance.First, in today’s world, it is no longer possible to have different world orders coexist independently of each other and addressing separate issues, like in the earlier centuries.The orders of today need to open up and make adjustments to adapt to the new realities and to different perspectives.Secondly, it’s no longer viable to try to achieve the transfer of power and find a new equilibrium through means of war among major powers because of the interconnected nature of today’s world.Thirdly, what we are facing are the new kinds of global issues, which do not respect traditional order or sovereign borders.Look at Ebola.Look at ISIS.Look at the boat people trying to cross from Africa to Europe.Therefore, there need to be new thinking to build a new global framework or，we may use the term global order，to cope with new type of challenges.The good news is that, as we enter the 21st century, mankind is already experimenting in an innovative and collaborative manner to tackle the challenges, such as G20, and the conference on climate change.For its part, China has initiated the land and maritime Silk Road programs to strengthen Asian and Eurasian connectivity, and is setting up the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to support them.All these practices are complementary to the existing international system and will help with its gradual evolution into a fairer and more inclusive structure.Dr.Kissinger tellingly ended his book with a question mark: “where do we go from here”? Obviously, history has come to a turning point.The question is in which direction it will turn.This question is also for China and the US.Do we have the resolve and wisdom to avoid the old loop and can we build a new type of relationship and global order through cooperation instead of confrontation?
