想象一份礼物。
00:20
I'd like for you to picture it in your mind.
1
20260
3000
我愿意为你描述一下它的样子。
00:23
It's not too big --
2
23260
2000
它并不是很大,
00:25
about the size of a golf ball.
3
25260
2000
大概只有高尔夫球大小。
00:27
So envision what it looks like all wrapped up.
4
27260
3000
包起来大概长这样。
00:30
But before I show you what's inside,
5
30260
3000
在我让你们看里面是什么前,
00:33
I will tell you, it's going to do incredible things for you.
6
33260
3000
我想先告诉你们,这件礼物对你们一定意义非凡。

You will feel loved and appreciated like never before

3000
它会让你感受到从未有过的爱和感激,
00:43
and reconnect with friends and acquaintances
9
43260
2000
正如同你与你多年未见的老友重逢时
00:45
you haven't heard from in years.
10
45260
2000
所有的感受。
00:47
Adoration and admiration
11
47260
2000
你的内心将
00:49
will overwhelm you.
12

It will recalibrate what's most important in your life.

你会重新检视到底何为生命最珍贵的馈赠。
00:55

你会重新定义
00:57
of spirituality and faith.
15
57260
3000
灵性和信仰的看法。
01:00
You'll have a new understanding
16
60260
2000
你对你的身体
01:02
and trust in your body.
17

也会有全新认知和感受。
01:04
You'll have unsurpassed vitality and energy.
18

去结交新的朋友,
01:11
and you'll have a healthier lifestyle.
21
71260
3000
你会拥有更健康的生活方式。
01:14
And get this --
22
74260
2000
当你得到这件礼物时,
01:16
you'll have an eight-week vacation
23
76260
2000
你将会有八个礼拜的假期,
01:18
of doing absolutely nothing.
24

You'll eat countless gourmet meals.

01:32
And you'll have a lifetime supply

你还会得到
01:34
of good drugs.
30

35
108260
3000
宁静、快乐、
01:51
nirvana.
36
111260
2000
重生。
01:53
The price?
37
113260
2000
这礼物的价格?
01:55
$55,000,
38
115260
3000
五万五千美金。
01:58
and that's an incredible deal.
39
118260
3000
这真是一笔好买卖。
02:01
By now I know you're dying to know
40
121260
2000
我想你现在一定很想知道
02:03
what it is and where you can get one.
41
123260
3000
这到底是什么,在哪里可买到。
02:06
Does Amazon carry it?
42
126260
2000
亚马逊上有么?
02:08
Does it have the Apple logo on it?
43
128260
2000
上面有苹果的标志么?
02:10
Is there a waiting list?
44
130260
3000
要排队等货么?
02:13
Not likely.
45
133260
2000
不太可能。
02:15
This gift came to me about five months ago.
46
135260
3000
我大概是五个月前得到这份礼物的。
02:18
It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up --
47
138260
2000
包裹起来的话,差不多是这个样子的。
02:20
not quite so pretty.
48
140260
2000
并不是很漂亮。
02:23
And this,
49
143260
2000
再来是这样。
02:26
and then this.
50
146260
3000
再这样。
02:29
It was a rare gem --
51
149260
2000
这个稀有珍宝,
02:31
a brain tumor,
52
151260
2000
是个脑瘤,
02:33
hemangioblastoma --
53
153260
3000
成血管细胞瘤,
02:36
the gift that keeps on giving.
54
156260
3000
一个让你收获不断的礼物。
02:39
And while I'm okay now,
55
159260
2000
我现在已痊愈了,
02:41
I wouldn't wish this gift for you.
56
161260
2000
不过我并不希望你得到这份礼物。
02:43
I'm not sure you'd want it.
57
163260
2000
我不确定你想不想要。
02:45
But I wouldn't change my experience.
58
165260
3000
但是我不会希望这一切再次发生。
02:48
It profoundly altered my life
59
168260
3000
这件事彻底改变了我的人生,
02:51
in ways I didn't expect
60
171260
2000
带来了我刚跟你们讲的那些改变,
02:53
in all the ways I just shared with you.
61
173260
2000
这都是我从未预料到的。
02:55
So the next time you're faced
62
175260
2000
所以下次,
02:57
with something that's unexpected,
63
177260
3000
万一你必须面对出乎意料的事,
03:00
unwanted and uncertain,
64
180260
3000
不管你不要或是不确定的,
03:03
consider
65
183260
2000
你都可以把它
03:05
that it just may be a gift.
66
185260
3000
当成是一份礼物。
03:08
(Applause)
67
188260
3000
(掌声)
