Secondly, learn to live _____________________. No matter how hard you try to avoid being _________, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively. Cringe is _______________ over a lifetime. Even the term ‘cringe’ might someday be deemed ‘cringe.’ I promise you, you're probably doing or wearing something right now that you will look back on later and find revolting and hilarious. You can't avoid it, so don't try to. For example, I had a phase where,for the _________of 2012,I dressed like a __________________. But you know what? I was having fun. _____________________ are fun. Looking back and laughing is fun. And while we're talking about things that make us squirm but really shouldn't, I'd like to say that I'm a _____________________ not ___________________________ for things. It seems to me that there is a false stigma around eagerness in our culture of 'unbothered ambivalence.’ This _________ perpetuates the idea that it's not cool to 'want it.’ That people who don't try hard are fundamentally more chic than people who do. And I wouldn't know because I have been a lot of things but I've never been an expert on ‘chic.’ But I'm the one __________________ so you have to listen to me when I say this: Never be __________________trying._______________ is a _________. The people who wanted it the least were the ones I wanted to date and be friends with in high school. The people who want it most are the people I now ______ to work for my company.
Secondly, learn to live alongside cringe. No matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively. Cringe is unavoidable over a lifetime. Even the term 'cringe' might someday be deemed 'cringe.’I promise you, you're probably doing or wearing something right now that you will look back on later and find revolting and hilarious. You can't avoid it, so don't try to.
第二，学会与尴尬共存。无论你多么努力地避免做出尴尬之事，当回首往昔，你总会尴尬得脚趾抠地。尴尬在人的一生中是不可避免的。甚至“尴尬”这个词在某天也有可能被当做一种尴尬。我敢肯定，你现在做的某件事情，或穿的某件衣服，等到以后回想起来，你会觉得反感和好笑。你没法避免，那就不用去避免。
cringe [krɪndʒ] v. 退缩，畏缩；厌恶，反感；感到难堪，觉得难为情 n. 退缩，畏缩；窘迫，羞愧 retrospectively [ˌretrəˈspektɪvli] adv. 回顾地 unavoidable [ˌʌnəˈvɔɪdəbl] adj. 不可避免的；不能废除的 revolting [rɪˈvoʊltɪŋ] adj. 叛乱的，背叛的；令人讨厌的，使人厌恶的v. 反叛，造反；使反感（revolt 的现在分词） hilarious [hɪˈleriəs] adj. 很可笑的，很滑稽的；<古欢闹的，兴高采烈的
For example, I had a phase where,for the entirety of 2012,I dressed like a 1950s housewife. But you know what? I was having fun. Trends and phases are fun. Looking back and laughing is fun.
举个例子，我有个阶段，在 2012 年一整年我都穿得像个上世纪 50 年代的家庭主妇。但你知道吗，我当时很开心。各种潮流和过往都让人开心。回顾过往，笑一笑也让人开心。
entirety [ɪnˈtaɪərəti] n. 全部，整体
And while we're talking about things that make us squirm but really shouldn't, I'd like to say that I'm a big advocate for not hiding your enthusiasm for things. It seems to me that there is a false stigma around eagerness in our culture of 'unbothered ambivalence.’ This outlook perpetuates the idea that it's not cool to 'want it.’
当我们在谈论那些让我们感到难为情，但其实没必要的事情，我在此大力倡导大家，不要刻意隐藏你对一件事物的热情。在我看来，在我们“不被矛盾情绪所扰”的文化观念中，热情被错误地污名化。这种观念衍生了一种想法，认为提到“想要”一点也不酷。
squirm [skwɜːrm] vi. 蠕动，扭动；羞愧，不舒服 n. 蠕动 advocate [ˈædvəkeɪt] v. 拥护，提倡n. 拥护者，提倡者；辩护律师 enthusiasm [ɪnˈθuːziæzəm] n. 热情，热忱；热衷的活动，热爱的事物 △ be in enthusiasm 怀有热情 stigma [ˈstɪɡmə] n. 耻辱，污名；斑点 eagerness [ˈiːɡərnəs] n. 渴望，热心 unbothered [ʌnˈbəʊðəd] 不相干的 无关的 近义词 irrelevant ambivalence[æmˈbɪvələns] n. [心理] 矛盾情绪； perpetuate [pərˈpetʃueɪt] v. 使持续，使长久（尤指不好的事物）
That people who don't try hard are fundamentally more chic than people who do. And I wouldn't know because I have been a lot of things but I've never been an expert on 'chic.’
这种想法认为不努力的人从根本上比努力的人更酷。我并不太理解，虽然我经历了很多事情，但我并不是所谓“酷”的专家。
fundamentally [ˌfʌndəˈmentəli] adv. 根本地，基础地；（用来加强语气）从根本上说 chic [ʃiːk] adj. 时髦的 n. 时髦，时尚
But I’m the one who's up here so you have to listen to me when I say this: Never be ashamed of trying. Effortlessness is a myth. The people who wanted it the least were the ones I wanted to date and be friends with in high school. The people who want it most are the people I now hire to work for my company.
但此刻我站在这里，所以你也只能听听我的建议：永远不要为努力而感到羞耻。不劳而获只是神话。那些最不想努力的人是我高中时期想要约会和交朋友的人。而那些最愿意努力的人，现在在我的公司工作。
Effortlessness [ˈefərtləsnəs] 毫不费力 myth [mɪθ] n. 错误的观点，荒诞的说法；神话，神话故事；虚构的人（或事），想象中的人（或事）
