英语演讲视频，第一时间观看

“小恶魔”彼特·丁拉基曾在《复联3》里帅气了一把！矮人人国国王这个角色，可以说是再适合不过了，毕竟，这个世上最出名的矮人演员，比任何正常人都更像巨人。

抛开电影的角色光环，真实生活中的彼特·丁拉基也更加传奇！身高只有1米35的他，用他的亲身经历验证了莎士比亚的那句话——「我宁愿重用一个活跃的侏儒，也不要一个贪睡的巨人」。

命运的不公、生活的困局都无法阻止我们追求潇洒、勇敢的人生之旅。“What doesn't kill you makes you stronger”，今天分享一个“小恶魔” （Peter Dinklage） 的个人传奇故事的演讲。

这段演讲是Peter在2012年，也就是出演《权力的游戏》第二年，回到母校本宁顿学院给毕业班的致辞。英语演讲君非常喜欢这个演讲，尤其是演讲中， Peter最点题的一句话（引用塞缪尔·贝克特名言）：" 屡战屡败， Ever tried,ever failed 屡败屡战， No matter,try again 纵然失败，更加出彩 Fail again,fail better "！

成功容易么？演员真人没有小说里小恶魔那样跌宕起伏的传奇，但能将这样的角色演绎的如此传神，大俘人心，Peter Dinklage的心理和精神一样是强大的。他在母校的演讲让你明白，角色与演员，真的是互相成就。

I hate that word — 'lucky.' It cheapens a lot of hard work

I spend my nights just sitting and reading a book and drinking my tea and walking my dog. That's about as exciting as my life gets.

[on his dwarfism] When I was younger, definitely, I let it get to me. As an adolescent, I was bitter and angry and I definitely put up these walls. But the older you get, you realize you just have to have a sense of humour. You just know that it's not your problem. It's theirs.

Any swagger is just defense. When youre reminded so much of who you are by people - not a fame thing, but with my size, constantly, growing up - you just either curl up in a corner in the dark or you wear it proudly, like armor or something. You can turn it on its head and use it yourself before anybody else gets a chance.

You can say no. You can not be the object of ridicule.

Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn.

I love animals. All animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog — or a chicken, or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.

I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.

George Martin is an incredible writer.

I dress and eat like a fifth-grader, basically. I like sandwiches and cereal and hooded sweatshirts.

Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious.

So I won't say I'm lucky. I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.

Bad guys are complicated characters. It's always fun to play them. You get away with a lot more. You don't have a heroic code you have to live by.

I think a lot of great male comic actors are introspective, quiet personalities, which I really admire. But they are really able to turn it up when the camera's on.

I like playing the guy on the sidelines. They have more fun.

My family had a habit of collecting creatures that didn't always want to be pets. The first animal I can remember was a Lab named Zoe.

Call me Elf......one more time!

I don't socialize. I'm kind of a hermit. The life of an actor can be very lonely.

I feel really lucky, although I hate that word - 'lucky'.

I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what's the fun in that?

I do not fault anyone else who makes choices to play characters that they wished they hadn't... Because at the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time.

That's one of the things about theater vs. film - with theater, actors have a little more control, and one of the disappointing things about films is that once you're done shooting, anything can happen, you know?

Animals on factory farms all face pain and fear, just like the animals we share our homes with, yet are repeatedly abused in shocking ways.

I love working with the same actors repeatedly. That happens a lot. It's kind of inevitable, especially if you work with the same writers and directors and you start to form a company of actors. You gravitate towards each other.I never lived in an abandoned railroad station.

I was opposed to doing TV for a long time because I thought the quality of writing wasn't very strong, as opposed to film, but there's been a shift in term of the quality of scripts. HBO has attracted a tremendous amount of great writing talent.

Game of Thrones' is an amazing show, and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.

Maybe everyone is a little too reassuring that things are going to be OK to college graduates. It gives them a false sort of security.
