And I want to be clear that your intuition is different from your conscience. They work in tandem, but here’s the distinction: Your conscience shouts, ‘here’s what you should do,’ while your intuition whispers, ‘here’s what you could do.’ 

我想大家需要明确一点：直觉并不同于意识。它们通常同时运作，但是有一点不同的是：你的意识会大声告诉你“这是你应该做的”，然而直觉会悄悄说“这是你能做的”。

Listen to that voice that tells you what you could do. Nothing will define your character more than that.

听从那个告诉你能做什么的声音，没有什么比它更能定义你的角色。

I hope all of you find that sense of mission. Don’t turn away from what’s painful. Examine it. Challenge it.

我希望你们每个人都能找到那种使命感。不要逃避使命感所带来的痛苦。大胆尝试，勇于挑战。

My job is to create a world that lasts two hours. Your job is to create a world that lasts forever. You are the future innovators, motivators, leaders and caretakers.

我的任务是制作两个小时的电影世界。你们的任务则是要创造永恒的世界，你们是未来的创新者、开拓者、领导者和执行者。

Talk to your parents and your grandparents, if you can, and ask them about their stories. And I promise you, like I have promised my kids, you will not be bored.

如果可以的话，和你的父母、祖父母聊聊天，听听他们的故事。我保证，就像我向我的孩子保证的一样，你一定收获颇丰，绝对不会感到无聊。

And that’s why I so often make movies based on real-life events. I look to history not to be didactic, ’cause that’s just a bonus, but I look because the past is filled with the greatest stories that have ever been told. Heroes and villains are not literary constructs, but they’re at the heart of all history.

这是我为什么总是基于现实生活创作电影。我阅读历史，并不是为了说教，这只是额外好处，而是因为历史充满着人们口口相传的最伟大的故事。英雄与反派都不是文学中的构想，他们是所有历史的核心。

And again, this is why it’s so important to listen to your internal whisper. 

这也是听从内心如此重要的原因。
