释义 | 父母吸毒、8岁开始乞讨、15岁母亲死于艾滋病、父亲进入收容所、17岁开始用2年的时光学完高中4年课程,获得1996年纽约时报一等奖学金,进入哈佛学习。影片《风雨哈佛路》讲诉Liz Murray真实的人生经历,是一部励志向上的美国影片。(托拉·伯奇扮演片中的 Liz Murray)。 一.人物简介:EN: Murray was born in the Bronx, New York, to poor, drug-addicted, HIV-infected parents. She became homeless just after she turned 15, when her mother died of AIDS, and her father moved to a homeless shelter. Murray's life turned around when she began attending the Humanities Preparatory Academy in Chelsea, Manhattan. Though she started high school later than most students, and remained without a stable home while supporting herself and her sister, Murray graduated in only two years. She was awarded a New York Times scholarship for needy students and accepted into Harvard University, matriculating in the fall semester of 2000. 二.心路历程:( 据电影《风雨哈佛路》整理) 亲情:如果可能,我愿意放弃我所有的一切,来换取我家庭的完整。 人会死,花会谢,看似有价值的东西实际上毫无意义。最终留下的是一个影像,模糊的影像,供我们回忆。世界是虚无的,我们活在彼此的心中。 我一直都爱着我的妈妈,无论何时何地,我一直都爱着她,尽管有的时候连她自己都忘记了,但是我一直都爱着她,自始至终,对自始至终。她活在我心中,可我无处立足,我孤独无助。 就算你是世界上最差劲的妈妈,就算在世人的眼里你是人见人怕的瘾君子,妈妈,我依然那么地 奋斗:我不想成为一个傻瓜,我要读书,我要上学 一个十六岁的人只有八年级的水平,你会顺着一个下降的螺旋到一个更糟的地方。你断了每一条路,拒绝了每次机会,你令所有曾经信任你的人都失望了。就在那一刻,我明白了,我得作出选择。我可以为自己寻找各种借口对生活低头,也可以迫使自己创造更好的生活。 我真的很聪明,我会成功的,我只是需要机会而已,是的,是这样的,我需要机会脱离我出生的环境,我认识的人全都充满了怨气,他们活着只是为了生存,但是我相信有比那更好的地方,那里更发达,我要活在那种地方,就是这样。 “修10门课,用2年读完,这不太可能,太辛苦了。” ——“没关系,我可以。” 为什么不能是我这种人,他们有什么特别之处,是因为他们的出生?我尽力拼搏,不让自己沦落到社会底层,如果、如果我更加努力呢?我现在离那层膜很近,触手可及。"要是我更加努力呢?"——"那需要努力,但并非不可能," "如果我不顾一切发挥每一点潜能去做会怎样?""我必须做到,我别无选择." “利兹,像我们这样的人,是不可能成功的,更不可能进哈佛。”——“我会的。”(事实也证明是这样,在纽约时报奖学金颁奖典礼上,主办方如是说:她的平均成绩95分并且是班里150名学生中最高的,她能够在两年时间完成4年的高中学业。她无家可归,她的妈妈死去了,爸爸在收容所里 。我所有的描述都不能概括对她的赞扬,所以我直接介绍我们的第6届纽约时报奖学金获奖者-- Liz Murray) 我为什么要觉得可怜,这就是我的生活。我甚至要感谢它,它让我在任何情况下都必须往前走。我没有退路,我只能不停地努力向前走。我为什么不能做到?”我觉得我自己很幸运,因为对我来说从来就没有任何安全感,于是我只能被迫向前走,我必须这样做。世上没有回头路,当我意识到这点我就想,那么好吧,我要尽我的所能努力奋斗,看看究竟会怎样 生活:请不要闭眼,机会就在下一秒出现;残酷的现实面前你应勇往直前 每天起床,我看见的世界上的每个人,都好像都披着一层膜,无法穿透。这种感觉很奇怪,有点悲哀,可是没有办法改变。这些人的动作举止,为什么这么不一样?我觉得有些人只对生活的艰苦灰心丧气,因此把时间都浪费在灰心丧气里,还把这称之为愤怒,拒绝用全面的眼光去看到这种困境." 世界在转动,你只是一粒尘埃,没有你地球照样在转。现实是不会按照你的意志去改变的,因为别人的意志会比你的更强些。生活的残酷会让人不知所措,于是有人终日沉浸在彷徨迷茫之中,不愿睁大双眼去看清形势,不愿去想是哪些细小的因素累积在一起造成了这种局面。没有人可以和生活讨价还价,所以只要活着 就一定要努力! 我为什么要觉得可怜,这就是我的生活。我甚至要感谢它,它让我在任何情况下都必须往前走。我没有退路,我只能不停地努力向前走。我为什么不能做到?” 我觉得我自己很幸运,因为对我来说从来就没有任何安全感,于是我只能被迫向前走,我必须这样做。世上没有回头路,当我意识到这点我就想,那么好吧,我要尽我的所能努力奋斗,看看究竟会怎样 放下负担,让它过去,这样才能继续前进 IN ENGLISH FAMILY:I'll give all these things back if I can get my family back People die.

I was so close to the skin now I can touch it.--it would be a reach. it's not impossible I want to stand beside people beside walk and not be so far beneath them.I wanna go to Harvard and become very developed read all the best books.then I found myself thinking. what if I just go crazy?

We just can't get throw it I think people just get frustrated without harsh, life can be. so they're spending their time dwelling on that frustration we calling it anger. keep their eyes shut to the wholeness of the situationto all those tinny things that have come together to make it, what it is. The world moves you just suspect. it could no happen without you. situations are not condused to what you want for yourself.someone else's needs, someone else's plate is going to be stronger than yours is. because I was turned so inward by mom and dad,I got chance to see how all the little tiny things come together to make the final productso I was never inclined to wonder why this or why that.I knew why.not that I was happy about it, in fact I was really sad about it, some of the time.but I was very excepting,I was very excepting. I just always knew that I need to get out. everything's changed, My life will never be the same. -- Liz, how did you do this?--How could I not do it?!my parents showed me with the alternative was --did you ever feel sorry for yourself?--That had always been my life and I reallyI feel that I got lucky, because any sensive security was pulled out so I was forced to look forward.
