1、第 1 页 王力宏演讲稿 特征码 NTFYxLgrgZruQzrCdAHc 王力宏演讲稿 Thank you, Plena. Thank you, Jun. Thank you, Peishan for helping this set up. Thank you all for being here today and the late ers as well. Thank you for ing in quietly. 谢谢在座的各位，谢谢晚来的同学，也谢谢你们悄悄的进 来。 I wanna start off today just to take a moment of silence
2、for the victims of the Sichuan earthquake and also for the victims of the Boston marathon bombing. So lets just take a minute to pay our respect to that. Thank you. 今天开始之前，我想要先为四川地震的灾民们以及波士顿 马拉松爆炸事件的受害者们默哀。让我们用一分钟时间，为他 们祈福。 谢谢你们。 I never thought I would be addressing you, the esteemed members of the
3、 Oxford Union, without a guitar 第 2 页 or an Erhu, without my crazy stage hair, costumes. But I did perform in the O2 Arena in London last week. I am not sure if any of you were able to make that. But in many ways, that was similar to what Im talking about today, that is, introducing Chinese pop musi
4、c here. 尊敬的各位牛津大学辩论会和牛津大学亚太学生会的同学 们，万万想不到会以这样的方式跟你们相聚。没有吉他和二胡， 没有夸张的舞台装也没有“火力全开”头。不过上周确实在伦 敦的 O2体育馆表演过了。不知道大家有没有去看呢。 但是， 从各方面来说，这些跟我们今天的话题都有密切的关联。那就 是-介绍华流音乐。 See, I am actually an ambassador of Chinese pop, whether I like it or not, both music and movies. And today Im here to give you the state of
5、union address. Its not the Oxford Union. Its the union of east and west. I wanna frankly, openly and honestly talk about how weve done a good job or how weve done a bad job of bringing Chinese pop to the west. And I also want to press upon all of you here today the importance of that soft culture, t
6、hat soft power exchange and how each of us is involved in that exchange. 其实无论我喜不喜欢，我都被认为在代表者华流音乐以及 第 3 页 电影。那么今天，我就要来做一次“国情咨文”报告了。但是， 这个“国”不是牛津，而是东西方的一个联合体。我想跟你们 聊一聊，我们在将华语音乐引入西方社会方面所做的事情，无 论是成就，还是不足。我都会坦诚布公。同时，我也想借此机 会给你们留下这样一个印记：软实力交流的重要性以及它同我 们每个人的相关程度。 Soft power, a term I am sure you are all fa
7、miliar with this point 软实力这个词我相信大家都不陌生。这个概念是由 Rhodes Scholar 和牛津校友 Joseph Nye 提出的。 Coined by Rhodes Scholar and Oxford alumnus Joseph Nye is defined as the ability to attract and persuade. 被定义为一种“吸引”和“说服”的能力。 Shashi Tharoor called it, in a recent TED Talk, the ability for a culture to tell a pelling
8、 story and influence others to fall in love with it. Shashi Tharoor 在最近的一次 TED演讲中把它定义为“一 种文化让其他文化在听了他动人的故事之后受到影响并爱上这 种文化”的能力。 I like that definition. 我很喜欢这个定义。 But I want to put it in collegiate term for all you 第 4 页 students in the audience: The way I see it, east and west are kinda like freshman
9、roommates. 但是我想用贴近你们在做大学生们的方式来解释这个词。 在我看来，东方跟西方在某种程度上，像是两个大一刚入学的 新生舍友。 You dont know a lot about each other but suddenly you are living together in the same room. And each one is scared that the others gonna steal his shower time or wants a party when the other wants to study. 两个几乎陌生的人，突然来到同一个屋檐下，其中
10、一个总 是怕另一个会跟他抢洗澡的时间，或者在他想要学习的时候大 开趴体。 It has the potential to be absolute hell, doesnt it? We all had horrible stories of THAT roommate. Weve all heard about those stories. I know a lot of students here in Oxford have your own separate bedrooms. But when I was a freshman at Williams College, I was no
11、t so safe and fortunate. 这种关系很可能就变成跟地狱一样了，不是么?“我的室友 是极品”的故事大家都讲得出来。这些事我都有耳闻。还有我 知道牛津这儿的很多同学都一人一间的对吧，但是，在我刚上 威廉姆斯学院的时候，我并不幸运，而且人身安全堪忧。 第 5 页 (You are kidding me. Woo-hoo! All right, all right!Great. )哇，你还真的是我们学校的!好吧，好棒! Well, I had a roommate, and he was THAT roommate. Lets just call him Frank. So Fr
12、ank was my roommate and Frank liked nothing more than to smoke weed. And he did it every day. 我当时就有一个这样的极品舍友，让我们暂且叫他 frank。这个 frank 就是那种好像除了抽大麻没有别的爱好的 人。而且他每天都抽。 And Frank had a two-foot long bong under his bed that was constantly being fired up. For those Chiese speakers in the audience. Frank woul
13、d “火力全开” on that bong every day. 他床底下有一个两英尺长的烟斗，持续不断的得点着。给 在做讲中文的同学们形容下，就是他每天会对着那个烟斗火力 全开 All right 好吧。 So, I guess I was kinda of the opposite of Bill Clinton who “tried marijuana but didnt inhale”. I didnt try marijuana but I did inhale, every single day, second hand. And strangely enough every ti
14、me I dwelt into our bedroom, I mysteriously end up being 第 6 页 late for class. I dont know how it happened. It was like “Dude, it is already ten oclock?”. 我可能在这点上算是跟 Bill Clinton 相反吧。Bill Clinton 是那种“我试过大麻，但我不上瘾。 ”我不抽大麻，但 是我每天都在吸啊吸，而且还是二手的。奇怪的是，只要我在 我们的卧室里，我最后都会稀里糊涂地上课迟到。我也不知道 怎么回事。我当时就是那副吸了大麻的样子，嘿，
15、已经十点了 吗? So, how many of you have lived with the Frank, or could be a Frank Gat? Having a roommate can be a recipe for disaster, but it also has the potential for being the greatest friendship youve ever had. See, Frank, he didnt make it the second year. And I got two new roommates second year, Step
16、hen and Jason. And in this day, the three of us are the best friends. 你们中有多少人有过 frank那样的舍友呢?或者，你们也像 他一样。所以有一个室友可能是一场灾难的开始。但也可能会 酿造一段非凡的友谊。Frank 第二年就辍学了。于是我换了两 个新的舍友，Stefan 和 Jason。如今，我们三个是铁哥们。 So going back to my analogy, of east and west as roommates. Do we want to be Frank, or do we want to be Ste
17、phen and Jason? And I think, in this day and age of 第 7 页 20XX, we should all be striving for the latter, should weI mean Im assuming that we all agree that this is the goal we should all be striving for. 回过头来看我的那个类比，我们东方和西方的舍友。是应 该成为 frank那样的存在，还是想像 Stefan 和 Jason 那样呢? 我认为在当时当下，在 20XX，我们应该努力成为后者。我们
18、应 该， 我是说，我想在这一目标上我们是可以达成共识的，对吧? Lets look at where we are in reality. Recent headlines in the media include, Foreign Policy Magazine: Chinas victim plex. Why are Chinese leaders so paranoid about the United States? Or the AFP, the Agence France-Presse, human rights in China worsening US finds. Bloom
19、berg says, on the cover of its magazine, “yes, the Chinese Army is spying on you.” 那么，回过头来，正视我们在现实中的处境。看看最近的 新闻头条：外交政策杂志上的， “中国的受害者情节：为何 中国领导人如此猜忌美国”或者法新社的财经杂志彭博商业 周刊上说， “没错，中国军队正在测探你。 ” And its such a great one that I just want to show you the cover of the magazine. Yes. Be very afraid! Ok, is it s
20、hown to you right? OK. So theres actually an extremely high amount of negativity and fear and 第 8 页 anxiety about China, sinophobia, that I think is not just misinformed, but also misleading and ultimately dangerous, very dangerous. 这个特别逗，我来给你们展示一下这封面。是的，特别恐 慌有木有!方向那对的吧，嗯，对的。当今对于中国有太多的负 面东西。恐华情绪很严重。
21、我觉得这种现象不仅是一种误传同 时也是一种误导。这是很可怕的，超级可怕。 And what about how westerners are viewed by Chinese? Well, we have terms for westerners. The most mon of which are gweilo in Cantonese, which means “the old devil”, lao wai, meaning the old outsider in mandarin, ang moh, which means the “red hairy one” in Taiwane
22、se. The list goes on and on. So are these roommates headed for a best friend relationship? I think we need a little help. And as China rises to be global power, I think it is more important than ever for us to be discerning about what we believe, because after all, I think thats the purpose of highe
23、r education. 那么，中国人又是如何看待西方的呢?我们对西方人的称呼 五花八门。大家熟知的有：香港人叫他们“鬼佬” ，字面上就是 “老妖” 。大陆人叫他们老外，字面上就是“蛮夷” 。还有台湾 人叫他们“红毛” 。还真说不完呢。这看上去像是能发展成一段 第 9 页 最佳友谊的舍友关系吗?我认为我们得治治病。随着中国实力不 断强大，看清楚应该相信什么这一点空前重要。因为，归根结 底，这就是高等教育的目的。 And thats why we are all here: to be able to think for ourselves and make our own decisions.
24、 Chinas not just those headlines, the burgeoning economy of the unique politics. Its not just the worlds factory or the next big superpower, its so much more. A billion people with rich culture, amazing stories and as a product of both of those cultures, I want to help foster understanding between t
25、he two, and help create that incredible relationship. 这就是我们坐在这里的原因：有能力独立思考，自主选择。 中国当然不能通过那些新闻头条来定义。也不只是所谓的特殊 政策下快速增长的经济。中国不仅仅是一个世界工厂，也不仅 仅是未来超级大国。中国的意义价值远大于此。一个拥有十几 亿人口，丰富悠久的历史文化与传奇故事的民族。作为中西两 种文化的共同产物，我特别想要帮忙在两种文化之间培养起一 种互相的理解，建立起一种很美好的情谊。 Because knowing both sides of the coin, I really think that
26、 there is a love story waiting to be told, waiting to unfold. And I am only half-joking when I 第 10 页 said love story because I believe it is, the stories that will save us, will bring us together. And my thesis statement for todays talk is that, the relationship between the east and west needs to b
27、e and can be fixed via pop culture. Thats a big fat plan. And I am gotta trying to back it up! 但凡事都有两面，所以我认为这背后蕴含着一个亟待讲述 的爱情故事。我说“爱情故事”不完全在说笑。因为我相信， 这些关于爱的故事能够拯救我们，把我们凝聚在一起。我今天 讲的主题就是，通过流行文化修复东西方世界的关系。好宏伟 的计划有木有啊!我会想办法讲明白的。 The UN Secretary general Bunki Boo said: “There are no language required in
28、musical world.” That is the power of music. That is the power of the heart. Through this promotion of arts, we can better understand that the culture and civilizations of other people. In this era of instability and intolerance, we need to promote better understanding through the power of music. 联合国
29、秘书长潘基文说过，在音乐的世界里，沟通时无需 语言的。这就是音乐的力量。这就是人心的力量。通过发扬艺 术，我们才能够更好的了解其他民族的文明与文化。在这个动 第 11 页 荡不安，人与人之间不甚宽容的年代，我们需要利用音乐的力 量来更好的了解彼此。 Now the UN Secretary General thinks we need more music, and I think he is right. Music and arts have always played the key role in my life in building relationships, replacing
30、 what once was the ignorance, fear and hatred with acceptance, friendships and even love. So I have a strong case for promoting music between cultures because it happened to me early in life. 联合国秘书长认为我们需要更多的音乐。这一点我很赞同。 音乐和艺术一直在我的生命中占据着很重要的地位。音乐和艺 术的力量能够帮助建立人与人之间的关系，用包容，友谊和爱 来驱逐因为无知的仇恨而产生的恐惧。在不同文化之间推
31、广音 乐这一点上，我自己的童年时期的经历是一个最好的例证。 I was born and raised in Rochester, New York. I barely spoke a word of Chinese. I didnt know the difference between Taiwan or Thailand. I was Thats true. I was as American as apple pie. Until one day, on a third grade playground, the inevitable finally happened. I got t
32、eased for being Chinese. Now every kid gets teased or made fun on the playground, but this was 第 12 页 fundamentally different. And I knew it right then and there. This kid, lets call him Bryan M. He started making fun of me, saying “ Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these.” I cant believe you
33、 are laughing at that and that hurts. OK, I am just kidding. I can still remember how I felt. I felt ashamed. I felt embarrassed. 我在纽约的罗切斯特长大，几乎不会说中文。我连“台湾” 和“泰国”这两个词都分不清楚。那是真的!我那时是个地地道 道的美国人。直到我上了三年级，有一天在操场上，不可避免 的事情终于发生了。因为中国人的血统，我第一次被人嘲笑了。 当然一起玩的小孩都会互相戏弄开玩笑，但这次绝对不同。这 点当时我立马就感觉到了。我们暂且管那个孩子叫 Bryan
34、M吧。 它开始嘲笑我说，中国人，日本人，脏膝盖，快来看。(英文还 押韵)你们居然还笑，我太受伤了!好吧，我只是开个玩笑。我 依然能够记得我当时的感觉。我感觉特别丢脸，特别尴尬。 But I laughed along with him, with everyone. I didnt know what else to do. It was like having a out- of-body experience, as if I could laugh at that Chinese kid on the playground with all the other Americans bec
35、ause I was one of them. Right? Wrong. On may levels. 但是我当时跟着所有其他人一直在笑。年幼的我并不知道 第 13 页 该怎么办。当时感觉好像灵魂出窍一样。好像我能够和操场上 其他美国孩子一起嘲笑中国人，我就是他们当中一员了。这种 想法可取吗?当然不可取，而且是大错特错。 And I was facing in front of the first but definitely not the last time, the harsh reality that I was minority in Rochester, which in tho
36、se days had an Asian population of one percent. 那是我第一次感受到一件残酷而现实的事实。我属于一个 少数群体，但那绝不是最后一次。在那个时代的罗切斯特，亚 洲人口特别少，几乎之占当地人口的百分之一。 And I was confused. I wanted to punch Brian. I wanted to hurt him for putting me in that situation. But he was faster than me and he was stronger than me. And he would kick my
37、butt and we both knew that. So I just took it in. And I didnt tell anyone or share with anyone these feelings. I just held them in and I let them fester. And those feelings would surface in a strangely therapeutic way for me through music. And it was no coincidence that around that time I started ge
38、tting good with the violin, the guitar, and the drums. And I would soon discover that by playing music or singing, other kids would, for a brief moment, forget 第 14 页 about my race or color and accept me and then be able to see me for who I truly am, a human being whos emotional, spiritual, curious
39、about the world and has a need for love, just like everyone else. 我当时心里很乱，我很想把 bryan 打一顿。他让我陷入那 种窘境，因此我也要让他难过。但是他身材比我壮，出手也比 我快。如果和他打架，我一定会被揍得更惨。这一点我们都知 道。所以我就忍了下来。我从来没有告诉过别人。也没发泄什 么感受。一直自己忍着，想让他们烂在心底就好了。后来慢慢 地，这些感受在音乐里竟然十分巧妙地把我治愈了。我那个时 候对小提琴，吉他，鼓都越来越得心应手，当然不是巧合。我 渐渐发现，当我演奏或者唱歌的时候，其他孩子便会忘记我的 种族或我的肤色。
40、而真正接受我，了解真正的我，哪怕只是一 小会。每当这个时候，他们就会发现，我跟他们都是一样的人。 我也对世界充满感性的好奇和想象，我也需要爱。 And by the six grade, guess who asked me if I would be the drummer for his band? Brian. And I said yes. And thats when we together formed the elementary school rock band called Nirvana. I am not kidding. I wan in the rock band c
41、alled Nirvana before Kurt Cobains Nirvana was ever known. So when Nirvana came out, Bryan and I were like “Hey, hes stealing our name.” But, 第 15 页 really what attracted me to music at this young age was just this and its still what I love about music is that it breaks down the walls between us and
42、shows us so quickly the truth that we are much more alike than we are different. Then in high school, I learned that music wasnt just about connecting with other, like Bryan and I were connected through music. It was a powerful tool of influence and inspiration. 到了六年级的时候，猜猜谁拉我加入他的乐队当鼓手?对， 就是 Bryan，我
43、答应了。于是 Bryan跟我一起，组成了我们小 学的摇滚乐队：涅槃乐队。是真的我没开玩笑。我们的乐队在 科特柯本的涅槃乐队之前就有了。所以后来涅槃乐队出道的时 候，我跟 Bryan还嚷嚷，嘿，他盗用我们的名字!所以在那么小 的时候，我就发现了音乐的迷人之处。当然这迷人之处也是我 至今热爱音乐的原因之一。那就是，音乐能打破人与人之间的 隔阂，能让我们那么快就看到彼此的相似点，而不是那些不同 之处。后来上了高中，我学到了更多，音乐不仅仅能够沟通彼 此，就像我跟 Bryan通过音乐结缘一样。它同时也是一股强大 的影响他人，激励他人的力量。 Sam Wayne was my high school j
44、anitor. He was an immigrant from Vietnam who barely spoke a word of English. Sam scrubbed the floors and cleaned the 第 16 页 bathrooms in our school for twenty years. And he never talked to the kids and the kids never talked to Sam. But one day, before the opening night of our schools annual musical,
45、 he walked up to me, holding a letter. And I was taken aback. I was thinking, “Why is Sam the janitor approaching me? And he gave me this letter that I have kept to this day. It was scrawled in a shaky hand written in all in capitals. And I read: “In all my years of working as a genitor at Sutherlan
46、d, you are the first Asian boy that played the lead role. I am gonna bring my six-year-old daughter to watch you perform tonight because I want her to see that Asians can be inspiring.” And that letterjust floored me. I was fifteen years old and I was absolutely stunned. Thats the first time I reali
47、zed how music was so important. Sam Wayne 是我们学校的门卫。他是越南侨民。几乎从来 不说英语。Sam 在我们学校做了二十几年的清洁工，擦地板， 扫厕所。却从来没跟学生们说过话。学生们也从不跟他说话。 但是一天，我们学校一年一度的音乐节前夕，sam 找到我，手 里拿着一封信。我吓坏了，心里琢磨，门卫 sam找我会有什么 事?于是他递给了我那封我至今保存的信。一看就是用颤抖的手 第 17 页 写下的潦草字迹。全都是大写字母，信上写着，我在这个学校 当了那么多年门卫，你是我见过的第一个担纲主唱的亚洲男孩。 我今晚要带我六岁的女儿来看你的演出。因为我想要她看到
48、， 我们亚洲人也可以带给人好多正能量。我真的被那封信震惊了。 十五岁的我当时就惊呆了。我第一次意识到，原来音乐如此重 要。 With Bryan, music helped two kids who were initially enemies bee friends. But with Sam,music went beyond the one-on-one. It was even a higher level. It influenced others I didnt even know in ways I can never imagine. I cant tell you how g
49、rateful I am to Sam, the janitor, to this day. He really is one of the people who helped me discover my lifes purpose. And I had no idea that something I did could mean more than ever imagined to an immigrant from Vietnam who barely spoke English. Pop culture, music, and the other methods of story telling, movies, TV dramas, they are so key and they do connect us like me and Bryan and do influence us and inspire us. 在 Bryan那儿，他让两个本来是敌人的孩子成为了朋友， 然而在 sam这里，音乐的意义超过了个体的范畴，达到了一个 更好的层次。音乐以我想不到的方式影响到我甚至完全不认识 第 18 页 的人。我从头至尾对门卫 sam的感激是无法用语言来形容的。 他真
