莱昂纳多为德尼罗致辞

第一篇：莱昂纳多为德尼罗致辞

I remember the first time I saw Robert De Niro up on screen.I was 13 years old and despite what I learned career day.I discovered that acting was in fact a profession.My father and I went to see Midnight Run and I remember my dad at the beginning of the film pointed the screen and saying “See that guy there? And that guy is cool!His name is Robert De Niro.You wanna watch a great actor? You remember his face.” Three years later I was in the position while I needed him to remember my face.I was one of the last of many contenders for the lead and what would become my first fiche film This Boy's Life.And before this critical condition I watched as many as films that I could.And I asked myself over and over and over again what is the one quality that he would see in me that he would respect and that came to me.Menace.I knew that I needed to work in that audition and be a menacing force to be reckoned with.We'll make an appointment to see De Niro's character actually ran me a muster jar into my eye and asking me repeatedly “Is it empty? Is it empty?” I knew this is my moment.我记得我第一次在银幕上看到罗伯特·德尼罗时，我才13岁，那时我还瞧不起这个我毕生的职业。后来我发现事实上演戏是一个职业。我和父亲去看《午夜狂奔》，我记得父亲在电影开始时指着银幕对我说：“看到那个家伙了吗？那个家伙很厉害。他叫罗伯特·德尼罗。你想看到一个了不起的演员吗？那你就记住他。” 三年后，情况改变了，是他记住我的容貌的时候了。那时包括我在内的许多人都在竞争电影《男生生活》的主角，而我排在最后。事实上这是我演的第一部电影。在这关键时刻之前，我看了很多电影。我一次又一次地问自己，什么样的素质能引起他的注意，并且让他选中我。最后我想出来了：震慑。我知道在试演中我需要表现得有威慑力才能得到重视。

我们这些竞争者相约去见证一下德尼罗的个性。可实际上他指着摆在我面前的一个罐子，一遍一遍地问我：“这是空的吗？这是空的吗？”我知道我的时刻到来了。

I got from the couch, walked across the room, looked their deadly eye, pointing in his face and shouted at the top of my lungs “No!” Silence!I knew I chickened this room up.This De Niro guy was dumb.Then he dumb on me, then he wasn't stone face because of my inspiring performance.He was trying to contain his laughter, and the more he tried, the harder it became.And eventually, everyone in the room, but of course me, was in complete hysterics.Then he turned to me said, “That was good.That was good.Hm, when you are on the last line, when you just try, just, just take it down a notch, one notch.” So I did, I took it down a notch.And I learned a valuable lesson that some things are good only to a certain degree.So I am here tonight to pay my respect to you, Bob, and I wanna to thank you for taking a chance on me for giving me the opportunity to work along beside you and observe the underlined mechanisms that make you the cosmic actor of our time.我从沙发上起来，走到对面，凝视着他们沉闷的眼神，指着他的脸，使出最大的力气冲他吼道：“不是！”整个房间一时陷入了安静。我知道整个房间都被我震住了。德尼罗也哑了，随后他静静地看着我，因为我那震撼的表演让他的表情不再那么严肃了。他试着不笑出声来，但是他越想控制，就越控制不住。最后，房间里的每个人，除了我，都狂笑了起来。

然后他转向我说：“做得不错，做得不错。刚才那最后一下，当你试着去做时，试着把音调再降下来一点，就一点。”我照做了，我把调子降低了一点。同时这也使我学到了很有价值的东西，有些事情只有做到了一定程度才能恰到好处。今晚在这里，鲍勃，我要对你致以深深的敬意，感谢你给我这样的机会，让我能够同你一起工作，学习你身上那些高超的演技。也正是这些演技，让你成为我们这个时代了不起的演员。

第二篇：莱昂纳多演讲稿(附中文翻译)

原文：

Thank you, Mr.Secretary-General, your excellencies, ladies and gentleman, and distinguished guests.I’m honored to be here today, I stand before you not as an expert but as a concerned citizen, one of the 400,000 people who marched in the streets of New York on Sunday, and the billions of others around the world who want to solve our climate crisis.As an actor I pretend for a living.I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems.I believe that mankind has looked at Climate Change in that same way, as if it were a fiction, as if pretending that Climate Change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away.But I think we know better than that now.Every week, we’re seeing new and undeniable Climate Events, evidence that accelerated Climate Change is here right now.Droughts are intensifying, our oceans acidifying, with methane plumes rising up from the ocean floor.We are seeing extreme weather events, and the West Antarctic and Greenland melting at unprecedented rates, decades ahead of scientific projections.None of this is rhetoric, and none of it is hysteria.It is fact.The scientific community knows it, Industry knows it、Government know it, even the United States military knows it.The Chief of the U.S.Navy’s Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Locklear, recently said that Climate Change is our single greatest security threat.My Friends, this bodynow faces that difficult but achievable task.You can make history or you will be vilified by it.To be clear, this is not about just telling people to change their light bulbs or to buy a hybrid car.This disaster has grown BEYOND the choices that individuals make.This is now about our industries, and governments around the world taking decisive, large-scale action.Now must be our moment for action.We need to put a price tag on carbon emissions, and eliminate government subsidies for oil coal and gas companies.We need to end the free ride that industrial polluters have been given in the name of a free-market economy, they don't deserve our tax dollar.They deserve our scrutiny.For the economy itself will die if our eco-systems collapse.The good news is that renewable energy is not only achievable but good economic policy.This is not a partisan debate;it is a human one.Clean air and livable climate are inalienable human rights.And solving this crisis is not a question of politics.It is a question of our own survival This is the most urgent of times, and the most urgent of messages.Honored delegates, leaders of the world.I pretend for a living.But you do not.The people made their voices heard on Sunday around the world and the momentum will not stop.But now it was YOUR turn, the time to answer humankind’s greatest challenge is now.We beg you to face it with courage.And honesty.Thank you.中文翻译：

尊敬的秘书长先生，女士们先生们，以及尊贵的客人们，谢谢你们。

我今天很荣幸，以一个关心环境的市民身份，而非专家身份来到这里，不仅是周日漫步在纽约接头的40万市民，全世界数十亿的人，都在关心环境问题。作为一个演员，我以扮演别人的方式谋生，我总是以虚构的角色解决虚构的问题，我相信，人类也是以同样的眼光看待环境的改变。将之当做发生在别的星球的事情，好像通过将它虚拟化，就能推远它和真实生活间的距离，然而我确定我们知道的远比我们想象的要多。每周，我们都看见新的且不可否认的环境问题，种种线索表明环境的加速变化已近在咫尺，我们知道干旱在加剧，海洋温度升高且酸化，甲烷从海底升腾而上，极端天气频现，全球温度升高，西南极岛和格陵兰冰层以远快于科学预测的速度融化，这一切都不是花言巧语，也毫不夸张，是铮铮的事实。科学社团知道这些，产业和政府知道，甚至美国军队也知道，美国海军太平洋司令部长官塞廖尔·洛克利尔上将最近说过：“气候变化使我们面临的唯一最大的安全威胁。” 我的伙伴们——也许比人类历史上的任何一次集结更重要的这次集会的伙伴们，我们面临一个艰巨的任务，你可以选择创造历史，或者被历史蔑视。

我想明确一点的是，我们并不只是呼吁让人们换个节能灯泡，或者买一辆混合动力车，危机已经超出个人所能作出选择的范围。

如今，事情关乎我们的产业、政府，他们必须作出具有决定性的大范围的动作，现在是行动的时候了，我们需要对碳排放定价，并消除政府对煤炭、天然气和石油公司的补贴，我们需要终止工特污染以自由市场经济的名义得到便利，他们不值得花我们纳税人的钱，只配得到我们的监视，这一切都是因为如果环境崩溃，经济必死。好消息就是，可再生资源不仅可得，而且是很好的经济政策。

这不是依次党派间的辩论，而是一个全人类的议题，干净的空气和水，以及一个可居住的环境，是不可分割的人权。解决这个问题不仅是一个政治议题，而是我们的道德要求。这一问题现在已经得到了迫切需要解决的时候，尊敬的代表们、领导们，我“假装”为生，你们却不是，周日，人们让自己的声音被世界听到，但是这一切远没有结束。现在轮到你们了，是时候回应我们生在这颗星球所面临的最大的挑战了，我请求你们用勇气和诚实直面这个问题，谢谢!

Thank you, Mr.Secretary General, for the honor to address this body once more.And thanks to the distinguished climate leaders assembled here today who are ready to take action.谢谢秘书长先生再次给我机会让我站在这里发言，谢谢各位卓越的气候领导人今天在联合国大会汇聚一堂准备开始采取行动。

body：团体；组织

President Abraham Lincoln was also thinking of bold action 150 years ago when he said: “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present…As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.”

150年前，亚伯拉罕·林肯总统也曾考虑过采取大胆的行动，他说：“那些属于宁静往日的教条已不足以应付风雨飘摇的现在，由于我们面临新的问题，我们要有新的思维、新的行动，我们必须打破自身的枷锁，才能拯救我们的国家。”

dogma ['dɒgmə] ：教条，教理 disenthrall [,disin'θrɔ:l]：释放；解放

He was speaking before the U.S.Congress to confront the defining issue of his time – slavery.Everyone knew it had to end, but no one had the political will to stop it.Remarkably, his words ring as true today when applied to the defining crisis of our time – climate change.当时林肯总统在美国国会发表了这席演讲，正视他的时代所面临的关键问题——奴隶制。所有人都知道奴隶制要终结，但是没有人有政治意愿去解决这个问题。今天他的话听来仍然振聋发聩。我们可以用他的话来描述当今时代的关键挑战——气候变化。

As a UN Messenger of Peace, I have traveled all over the world for the last two years, documenting how this crisis is changing the natural balance of our planet.I’ve seen cities like Beijing choked by industrial pollution, ancient Boreal forests in Canada that have been clear-cut, and rainforests in Indonesia that have been incinerated.作为联合国的和平使者，我在过去两年中走访了世界各地，记录气候变化给地球的自然平衡带来了怎样的改变。我曾经目睹过像北京那样因工业污染而窒息的城市，加拿大古老的寒温带森林被夷为平地，印度尼西亚的热带雨林被焚烧殆尽。

incinerate [in'sinəreit]：焚烧

In India, I met farmers whose crops have literally been washed away by historic flooding.In America, I have witnessed unprecedented droughts in California and sea level rise flooding the streets of Miami.In Greenland and in the Arctic, I was astonished to see that ancient glaciers are rapidly disappearing well ahead of scientific predictions.All that I have seen and learned on my journey has absolutely terrified me.在印度，我遇到一些农民，他们的庄稼被百年一遇的洪水冲走；在美国，我经历了加州空前的干旱，并目睹了迈阿密海平面上升淹没了街道；在格林兰和北极，我惊讶地看到古老的冰川迅速消失，其速度远超过科学家的预测。旅途中的所见所闻，让我深感恐惧。

There is no doubt in the world’s scientific community that this is a direct result of human activity and the effects of climate change will become astronomically worse in the future.我想科学界已经明确证明这是人类行为所带来的直接后果。今后，气候变化的影响还将更具灾难性。

astronomically [,æstrə'nɔmikli] ：天文数字地；巨大地

I do not need to tell you these statistics.You know them better than I do, but more importantly, you know what will happen if this scourge is left unchecked.You know that climate change is happening faster than even the most pessimistic of scientists warned us decades ago.It’s become a runaway freight train bringing with it an impending disaster for all living things.你们不需要我来援引数据，你们知道的比我清楚，更重要的是，你们知道如果不加以制止，气候变化的灾难会造成怎样的后果。气候变化的速度比最悲观的科学家几十年前所警告的还快，对此你们心知肚明，它已经成为一列可给所有生命带来灾难的失控货车。

scourge [skɜ:dʒ] ：灾祸，苦难的根源 freight [freit] ：货运列车；货轮

Now, think about the shame that each of us will carry when our children and grandchildren look back and realize that we had the means of stopping this devastation, but simply lacked the political will to do so.现在再来想想，当我们的子孙回首往事，发现我们拥有遏制这一灾难的手段，但却由于缺乏政治意愿而无所作为，那时候我们每个人会是多么羞愧难当。

devastation[,devə'steiʃn] ：毁坏，破坏

Yes, we have achieved the Paris Agreement.More countries have come together here to sign this Agreement today than for any other cause in the history of humankind – and that is a reason for hope – but unfortunately, the evidence shows us that it will not be enough.Our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong.的确，我们通过了《巴黎协定》，汇集于此签署这项协议的参与国的数量，远超过人类历史上其他伟业，这是我们心存希望的原因之一。然而，不幸的是，证据表明，这还远远不够。除非我们把化石燃料留在它们本应沉睡的地方——地下，我们的地球才能够得救。

cause：事业；目标 fossil ['fɔsəl]：化石

An upheaval and massive change is required right now – one that leads to a new collective consciousness, a new collective evolution of the human race, inspired and enabled by a sense of urgency from all of you.现在我们需要作出彻底而重大的改变，这一改变将带来新的集体意识，将带来人类新的集体进化，正是你们所有人的紧迫感激发并促使了这一改变的形成。upheaval [ʌp'hi:v(ə)l]：剧变 collective ：集体的

We all know that reversing the course of climate change will not be easy, but the tools are in our hands, if we apply them before it is too late.我们都知道，扭转气候变化并非易事，但是如果我们想在为时已晚之前采取行动的话，工具就在我们手中。

Renewable energy, fossil fuels and putting a price on carbon pollution are beginning to turn the tide.This transition is not only the right thing for our world, but it also makes clear economic sense, and is possible within our lifetime.可再生能源、化石燃料和给碳排放定价是扭转这一趋势的开始。这一转变不仅有利于我们的世界，而且也更符合经济规律，并有可能在我们有生之年得以实现。

But it is now upon you to do what great leaders have always done: to lead, to inspire and empower as President Lincoln did in his time.现在，世界需要你们做出伟大的领导人所做的事情——去引领、去激励、去赋权，就像林肯总统当年那样。

We can congratulate each other today, but it will mean absolutely nothing if you return to your countries and fail to push beyond the promises of this historic agreement.Now is the time for bold, unprecedented action.今天我们可以互相庆贺，但如果你们回到各自的国家却不能将这一历史性的协议付诸实施，这一切就毫无意义。现在是时候采取前所未有的、强有力的行动了。

My friends, look at the delegates around you.It is time to ask each other – which side of history will you be on? 我的朋友，看看周围的代表们，是时候问问彼此：你今后将站在历史的哪一边？

As a citizen of our planet who has witnessed so much on this journey, I thank you all for everything you have done to lay the foundation of a solution to this crisis, but after 21 years of debates and conferences, it is time to declare;no more talk, no more excuses, no more 10-year studies, no more allowing the fossil fuel companies to manipulate and dictate the science and policies that affect our future.This is the only body that can do what is needed.作为一个在此过程中目睹良多的地球公民，我感谢在座的各位努力为解决气候变化危机而奠定的措施基础。然而，在经过21年的辩论和会议之后，是时候宣布决策。不要再空谈了，不要再寻找借口，不要再搞十年调研，也不再允许化石燃料公司操纵和主导影响我们未来的科学和政策。你们就是唯一能够采取所需行动的机构。

manipulate [mə'nipjʊleit]：操纵 dictate [dik'teit]： 指示

All of you sitting in this very hall, the world is now watching.You’ll either be lauded by future generations, or vilified by them.坐在这个大会堂里的每个人，整个世界都在注目着你们。你们要么流芳百世，要么成为千古罪人。

laud [lɔ:d] ：赞美 vilify ['vilifai]：中伤，贬低

Lincoln’s words still resonate to all of us here today: “We will be remembered in spite of ourselves…The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the last generation…We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of Earth.”

林肯的话今天依然回荡在我们耳边：“我们将会不以自身意志为转移地被历史所记载，我们经历的烈火般的考验将照亮我们的荣耀或耻辱，直至我们最后一代子孙。我们要么高尚地挽救，要么卑鄙地丧失这地球上最后的、最美好的希望。”

fiery ['faiəri]：炽热的；火一般的

That is our charge now – you are the last, best hope of Earth.We ask you to protect it, or we and all living things we cherish are history.现在这是我们的责任了。你们是地球最后的、最美好的希望，我们请求你们保护它，否则，我们及我们所珍惜的一切，都将成为历史。

Thank you very much.谢谢诸位。

Thank you all so very much.Thank you to the Academy, thank you to all of you in this room.I have to congratulate the other incredible nominees this year, for their unbelievable performances.The Revenant was a product of the tireless efforts of an unbelievable cast and crew I got to work alongside.First off, to my brother in this endeavor, Mr.Tom Hardy.Tom, your fierce talent on screen can only be surpassed by your friendship off screen to Mr.Alejandro Iñárritu.As the history of cinema unfolds, you have forged your way into history these past two years.What an unbelievable talent you are.Thank you, to you and Chivo for creating a transcendent cinematic experience for all of us.Thank you to everybody at Fox and New Regency, and particular Ana Milchan, you were the champion of this endeavor.My entire team.I have to thank everyone from the very onset of my career.Mr.Caton-Jones, for casting me in my first film.Mr.Scorsese for teaching me so much about this cinematic art form.To Mr.Ricky Yorn, thank you for helping me navigate my way through this industry.And to my parents, none of this would be possible without you.And to my friends, I love you dearly, you know who you are.And lastly I just want to say this: Making The Revenant was about man's relationship to the natural world.A world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history.Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow.Climate change is real, it is happening right now.It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating.We need to support leaders around the world who do not speak for the big polluters, the big corporations, but who speak for all of humanity, for the indigenous people of the world, for the billions and billions of underprivileged people who will be most affected by this.For our children’s children, and for those people out there whose voices have been drowned out by the politics of greed.I thank you all for this amazing award tonight.Let us not take this planet for granted.I do not take tonight for granted.Thank you so very much.
