让好莱坞起立鼓掌的毕业演讲

好莱坞有一所著名的电影学院——美国电影学院（American Film Institute，简称AFI），号称美国电影艺术保存地。这里的学生多以白人为主，亚裔只有少部分，中国学生更是屈指可数。然而，在AFI今年的毕业典礼上，代表全校同学做毕业演讲的竟是中国姑娘孔乐琪。在这场毕业演讲中，孔乐琪用勇气和自信，赢得了好莱坞的掌声。

演说全文：

So for a while in the first year I was in constant social anxiety. I don't know how to make friends and I would always miss home and isolate. However，that situation changed immediately after we started our cycle one shoot. You know what transcends all linguistic and cultural barriers？ Hunger and sleep deprivation.

在第一学年，有段时间，我患上了社交焦虑症。我不会交朋友，想家，很孤独。但是在我们做第一次作业后，我好了大半。到底是什么打破了语言和文化壁垒？是饥饿和缺觉！

Collaboration is held so high at AFI and what is the most efficient way to force a bunch of ambitious， proud， young artists to bond？ Structured， discipline-specific， accredited torture.

在AFI，我们要时刻高举团队合作的大旗。团结一群雄心勃勃、骄傲的年轻艺术家的有效方法是什么呢？那就是有组织、有纪律、有授权地折磨他们。

The searing agony of collaboration made us some sort of a family. Never in my life have I imagined I could be in an environment where we celebrate our differences， and find our voices through the conservatory itself.

痛苦的合作与磨合，让我们成为了一家人。我从未想过，会有个地方鼓励大家展示出不同之处，在学习中找到属于自己的心声。

One of the screenwriting rules I learned from my second-year feature mentor， Mr. Stan Chervin，  completely altered my view on life. "There should be only one shtup scene in the screenplay. A second shtup only undermines the first."

我从二年级电影编剧导师斯坦切尔文先生那里学到了一条剧本创作的原则，颠覆了我的人生观，“香艳的场景在剧本里只能出现一次，第二次出现只会破坏第一次的效果。”

Ever since I frist heard this from Stan， I just couldn't get over how profound this rule is. Think about it， a great shtup scene in a script， is a significant life-changing moment， only happens once. Just like our time here at AFI. It is so meaningful and delicate， and perfect in its singularity. It should be cherished and harnessed.

自從听到这句话，我总是忍不住品味它的深刻之处。我是说，剧本中伟大的表演，是能改变人生的一刻，却只能出现一次——正如我们在AFI度过的时光——意义非凡，美妙无比，而且绝无仅有，所以应该好好珍惜。
