王力宏获博士学位，男神全英文演讲艳惊四座！

说起唱英文歌好听，口语又一级棒的男神，不得不提的就是王力宏。家世好，学习好，颜值高，有才华，优质偶像就是用来膜拜的。前不久，伯克利音乐学院(Berklee College of Music)宣布授予王力宏荣誉博士学位，这是王力宏获得的第二个博士学位。当晚，在波士顿交响乐厅举办了学位授予仪式。王力宏还发表了英文演讲，宣布从2017年设立“王力宏全额奖学金”，每年资助一名来自中国的优秀青年音乐人零学费入读母校。今天的日常英语内容一起看看男神雅思口语满分的演讲（精彩部分摘录）吧！

I wanna start offtoday just to take a moment of silence for the victims of the Sichuanearthquake and also for the victims of the Boston marathon bombing. So let’sjust take a minute to pay our respect to that.

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。

See, I am actuallyan ambassador of Chinese pop, whether I like it or not, both music and movies.And today I’m here to give you the state of union address. It’s not the OxfordUnion. It’s the union of east and west. I wanna frankly, openly and honestlytalk about how we’ve done a good job or how we’ve done a bad job of bringingChinese pop to the west. And I also want to press upon all of you here todaythe importance of that soft culture, that soft power exchange and how each ofus 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 allfamiliar 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 RhodesScholar and Oxford alumnus Joseph Nye is defined as the ability to attract andpersuade.

被定义为一种“吸引”和“说服”的能力。

Shashi Tharoorcalled it, in a recent TED Talk, the ability for a culture to tell a compellingstory 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 thatdefinition.

我很喜欢这个定义。

But I want to putit in collegiate term for all you students in the audience: The way I see it,east and west are kinda like freshman roommates.
