據我所知，這所法學院是全國最好的法學院，看到自己的親人從這所法學院畢業，你們的自豪和喜悅可想而知。

To the graduating cohort I consider it a privilege to have been asked to speak to you as you are about to unleash yourself on the world.

對於即將畢業的同學們，我很榮幸能在你們即將向世界展示自己的時候受邀對你們講話。

This moment conjures up the exciting image of a high diver poised to leap into the void.

這一刻，讓人聯想到高空潛水員準備躍入虛空的激動人心的畫面。

As you know I am NOT a lawyer.

大家都知道，我不是律師。

I can't even say that I have keynote speech to you on this pivotal day of in your lives as you dive head first into a presumably bright but unpredictable future.

在這個你們人生中至關重要的日子裡，在你們一頭扎進可能是光明但不可預知的未來時，我甚至不能說我已經為你們準備好了主題演講。

Well maybe the reason I'm here is because I happen to have some experience leaping off high purchase into scary voids.

也許我來這裡的原因是因為我有一些從高處跳入可怕空洞的經驗。

So do allow me to offer some simple pointers that I've learned in my career full of leaps and dives.

是以，請允許我提供一些簡單的建議，這是我在充滿飛躍和跳水的職業生涯中學到的。

How to survive the fall in three easy steps by Michelle Yeoh.

楊紫瓊撰寫的《如何在秋天輕鬆度過三個步驟》。

The first one is pretty obvious but not always easy.

第一點非常明顯，但並不總是那麼容易。

Stay loose.

保持放鬆。

My journey from Malaysia, Ipoh Malaysia to the Academy Awards stage began with my first love which was not acting but dance.

從馬來西亞怡保到奧斯卡頒獎典禮的舞臺，我的初戀不是表演，而是舞蹈。

I knew at a very young age that my gift was to communicate through movement.

在我很小的時候，我就知道我的天賦是通過動作進行交流。

In my studies I found freedom in discipline and focus.

在學習中，我在紀律和專注中找到了自由。

I trained tirelessly day and night drilling my body in every aspect of the craft.

我日夜不停地訓練，鑽研技藝的方方面面。

More importantly I trained in my mind to be still to silence the future and my undeniable path.

更重要的是，我訓練自己靜下心來，讓未來和我不可否認的道路保持沉默。

So I enrolled in a ballet school in England and began living my dream.

於是，我進入了英國的一所芭蕾舞學校，開始了我的夢想之旅。

Unfortunately life had other plans.

不幸的是，生活另有安排。

I suffered a spinal injury and just like that I watched everything vanish into thin air.

我的脊椎受了傷，就這樣，我眼睜睜地看著一切都消失得無影無蹤。

Life as I knew it was over.

我所知道的生活結束了。

With my dreams of dance crushed I credit the principal of that ultimately led me to a career beyond my imagination.

我的舞蹈夢想破滅了，但校長的功勞最終讓我走上了超乎想象的職業生涯。

When falling the tendency is to tighten up to brace for impact but in truth the safest thing one can do is remain calm.

墜落時，人們往往會收緊身體以抵禦衝擊，但事實上，最安全的做法就是保持冷靜。

After graduating with a degree in creative arts I returned home more open to other possibilities outside the box.

畢業後，我獲得了創意藝術學位，回到家後，我更願意嘗試其他的可能性。

With this awareness came the freedom to make choices I might not have otherwise been able to.

有了這種意識，我才有了做出選擇的自由，否則我可能無法做出選擇。

This opened the door to doing a commercial in Hong Kong then to acting roles and the start of my life in film.

這為我在香港拍攝廣告打開了一扇門，隨後我便開始了演藝生涯。

Which leads me to my second piece of advice.

這就是我的第二條建議。

Know your limits.

瞭解自己的極限。

Although understanding what you can do is essential understanding what you can't do is pretty important too.

雖然瞭解自己能做什麼至關重要，但瞭解自己不能做什麼也相當重要。

This works on two levels both internally and externally.

這在內部和外部兩個層面都起作用。

Internally knowing your limits keep you humble motivated and knowing the limits that are set for you by others give you a place to point a different finger.

瞭解自己的極限能讓你保持謙遜的態度，而瞭解他人為你設定的極限則能讓你找到不同的矛頭。

I am talking about the middle one.

我說的是中間那個。

In other words limitations set by yourself give you boundaries to respect but limitations set by others give you boundaries to bust through.

換句話說，自己設定的限制給了你需要尊重的界限，而他人設定的限制則給了你需要突破的界限。

As a young woman trying to break into film in Hong Kong I was confronted with limitations at every turn.

作為一名年輕女性，我試圖在香港闖蕩電影界，卻處處受到限制。

Initially cast in stereotypical roles the demure docile damsel in distress.

她最初扮演的角色千篇一律，都是端莊溫順的落難少女。

I soon realized that what I wanted to play were the action roles.

我很快意識到，我想扮演的是動作角色。

The heroes.

英雄們

Of course these were then reserved exclusively for men but I could see that they are fight sequences were highly choreographed and I knew in my bones that my dance training would allow me to excel at them if only I were given the chance.

當然，當時這些都是男人們的專屬，但我可以看到，他們的格鬥場面都是經過精心編排的，我從骨子裡知道，只要給我機會，我所接受的舞蹈訓練一定能讓我在這些場面中出類拔萃。

So I went to my producer and said I did say please I want an action role.

於是我去找我的製片人，說我確實說過我想要一個動作片角色。

I was prepared to do everything the men were doing the choreography the stunts taking the blows the wire work all of it.

我已經做好了一切準備，男人們要做的舞蹈編排、特技表演、擊打、鐵絲網作業，所有這些我都要做。

What?

什麼？

Like it's hard?

好像很難？

But when the chance finally came I knew it was make or break.

但當機會終於來臨時，我知道成敗在此一舉。

I had the one shot to prove my bankability as an action star and if I failed I would not get that opportunity again.

我有一次機會來證明自己作為動作明星的賺錢能力，如果失敗了，我就再也沒有機會了。

So I seized the moment with everything I had and as it turned out thankfully audiences were more than ready for a female star in action comedies.

是以，我竭盡全力抓住了這一時機，結果很幸運，觀眾們已經為女明星出演動作喜劇片做好了充分準備。

The film Yes Madam was well received and launched my career.

電影《是的，夫人》廣受好評，也開啟了我的職業生涯。

I knew I had it made it then when I soon after I joined Jet Li and Jackie Chan as the three people who Hong Kong insurers refused to cover.

不久之後，我和李連杰、成龍一起成為香港保險公司拒絕承保的三個人，我就知道自己成功了。

They took one look at the scenes we were shooting and ran for the hills.

他們看了一眼我們正在拍攝的場景，就跑得無影無蹤了。

I wore that as a badge of honor.

我把這當作一種榮譽。

Eventually things progressed and before I knew it I was regularly running on rooftops riding motorcycles onto moving trains and rolling off vans onto oncoming traffic.

最後，事情有了進展，不知不覺中，我經常在屋頂上奔跑，騎著摩托車衝上行駛的火車，從貨車上滾落到迎面而來的車流中。

Don't try that at home okay.

別在家裡這麼做

There were injuries as you can imagine but with every nick and scratch and bruise and fractured vertebrae I came back better and braver.

你可以想象，我曾受過傷，但每一道傷痕、擦傷、瘀傷和脊椎骨骨折都讓我變得更好、更勇敢。

Learning how to fall teaches you how to land and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher.

學會如何跌倒，才能學會如何著陸；學會著陸，才能有勇氣跳得更高。

So when the James Bond producers knocked on my door about a film called Tomorrow Never Dies I thought yes they want me to play James Bond.

是以，當詹姆斯-邦德的製片人敲開我的家門，談一部名為《明日帝國》的電影時，我想是的，他們想讓我扮演詹姆斯-邦德。

I was fortunate that the producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson had a substantial role in mind in the character of Wei Lin, a formidable agent who was always one step of her as instrumental in modernizing the franchise and its retrograde portrayals of women.

我很幸運，製片人芭芭拉-布羅科裡和邁克爾-G-威爾遜心目中的重要角色是魏琳，她是一個厲害的特工，總是比她快一步，在使電影系列和其落後的女性形象現代化方面發揮了重要作用。

So thank you Barbara and Michael.

謝謝芭芭拉和邁克爾。

Although offers came in after the Bond movie I waited two years for the proper role rejecting scripts that lacked nuance or depth in their character.

雖然在邦德電影之後，我收到了很多邀請，但為了找到合適的角色，我等了兩年，拒絕了那些缺乏細微差別或角色深度的劇本。

Honestly there were times I had doubts as to whether I was doing the right thing in waiting.

老實說，有好幾次我都懷疑自己的等待是否正確。

After all actors want to act.

畢竟演員是要演戲的。

However I knew I would not be happy unless I continue to seek out roles that allowed me and like-minded creatives to dig deeper and reflect three-dimensional humanity on stage.

然而，我知道，如果我不能繼續尋找能讓我和志同道合的創作者在舞臺上深入挖掘和反映立體人性的角色，我就不會快樂。

And that was Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

這就是《臥虎藏龍》。

So I must have done something right because I am busier than ever.

所以我一定是做對了什麼，因為我比以前更忙了。

These examples illustrate the importance of limitations because our limitations become our challenges and there is nothing like a challenge to keep you working, striving and pushing for more.

這些例子說明了侷限性的重要性，因為我們的侷限性會成為我們的挑戰，而沒有什麼比挑戰更能讓你不斷努力、不斷奮鬥、不斷超越自我了。

Every demeaning role I was offered, every underestimated me.

每一個貶低我的角色，每一個低估我的人。

I found energy and renewed motivation.

我找到了能量和新的動力。

This brings me to the third and final tip.

這就是第三個也是最後一個建議。

Find your people.

找到你的人

Life is not always a zero-sum game.

生活並不總是零和遊戲。

For every winner that doesn't have to be a loser.

每一個贏家都不一定是輸家。

In fact most success stories are less about competition and more about collaboration.

事實上，大多數成功案例都與競爭關係不大，而與合作關係密切。

The truth is I could not have done any of this alone.

事實上，我不可能獨自完成這一切。

My achievements are the results of those around me who offered and continue to offer support and belief.

我所取得的成就，是我周圍的人給予並將繼續給予我支持和信念的結果。

There are times where as much as I don't want to let myself down, I don't want to let them down even more.

有些時候，我不想讓自己失望，更不想讓他們失望。

My definition of community is vast including my family, loved ones and friends.

我對社區的定義非常廣泛，包括我的家人、夫妻和朋友。

But it also includes the other actors, directors, producers, stunt people, film crews, dancers, musicians and artists with whom I've crossed paths.

但也包括與我有過交集的其他演員、導演、製片人、特技人員、攝製組、舞蹈演員、音樂家和藝術家。

My community transcends time in the sense that I stand on the shoulders of those who have come before me and I am energized and inspired by those who come after me.

我的社區超越時間，因為我站在前人的肩膀上，後人給了我力量和啟發。

My community extends beyond people I know personally which is why representation matters and why diversity on and off the screen have been a major priority for me particularly for women and particularly in lead roles.

我的社區超越了我個人所認識的人，這就是為什麼代表權很重要，為什麼銀幕內外的多樣性一直是我的一個主要優先事項，特別是對於女性，尤其是主角。

When we shine a light on the rich and varied world around us, we empower the whole of our humanity.

當我們照亮我們周圍豐富多彩的世界時，我們就增強了整個人類的力量。

I can see no better reason to wake up in the morning than to wake up in the morning to see that the world is not limited to the film industry.

我認為早上醒來的最好理由莫過於看到世界並不侷限於電影業。

In my work as UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, I have witnessed the deep inequalities that continue to plague societies around the world and I have seen up close how women and girls are often the last to get essential services like clean water and vaccines, especially in crisis.

在我作為聯合國開發計劃署親善大使的工作中，我目睹了嚴重的不平等現象繼續困擾著世界各地的社會，我也近距離看到了婦女和女孩往往是如何最後獲得清潔水和疫苗等基本服務的，尤其是在危機中。

For this reason, I have committed myself in walking in lockstep with their struggle.

為此，我承諾與他們的鬥爭步調一致。

The prerequisite to change is empathy.

改變的前提是換位思考。

Seeing through other people's perspective activates our compassion which becomes the driving force for real world demonstrable action.

從他人的角度看問題，會激活我們的同情心，而同情心則會成為在現實世界中採取可證明的行動的動力。

Compassion is the ultimate superpower within us.

慈悲是我們內在的終極超級力量。

When you are leaping without a safety net, people become your safety net and you become theirs.

當你在沒有安全網的情況下縱身一躍時，人們就成了你的安全網，你也成了他們的安全網。

So those are my tips.

這些就是我的建議。

Stay loose, know your limits and find your people.

保持放鬆，瞭解自己的極限，找到自己的人。

But I want to conclude by speaking briefly about that little movie that could.

最後，我想簡單談談那部小電影。

Everything, everywhere, all at once.

一切，無處不在，一氣呵成。

This was a film that in many ways brings together all the insights I have shared with you today.

這部電影在許多方面彙集了我今天與大家分享的所有見解。

It defied genre, playing loose with free expectations and defying categorization.

它打破了流派的束縛，放任自由的期望，無視分類。

It flouted limitation by taking a smaller budget and turning it into an international phenomenon and it brought together a community of creative and talented individuals working with a common passion to tell a universal human story.

它藐視限制，用較少的預算將其變成了一個國際現象，它匯聚了一群富有創造力和才華的人，他們懷著共同的激情講述了一個普遍的人類故事。

This was a movie made entirely with love that was in many ways the culmination of my life's work.

這是一部完全用愛製作的電影，在很多方面都是我畢生心血的結晶。

And the reverberations of that love continue to be felt as everything, everywhere, all at once has caused a tectonic shift in the When I think of a glorious leap into an unknown void, I think of that movie.

當我想到光榮地躍入未知的虛空時，我想到了那部電影。

So and today you leap.

所以，今天，你縱身一躍。

Stay loose, be smart and go with love and then leap and then leap again and leap again.

放輕鬆，放聰明，與愛同行，然後飛躍，再飛躍，再飛躍。

I look forward to living in the world you'll all help build and I am honored to have been one small voice at the beginning of your journey.

我期待著生活在你們幫助建立的世界裡，我很榮幸能成為你們旅程開始時的一個小小聲音。
