特雷弗·诺亚2021普林斯顿大学毕业典礼演讲(12)

So, thinking of that subversion and that discomfort, what has been your greatest lesson around taking risks? What has been my greatest lesson in taking risk? That"s interesting.
那么，关于那种颠覆和不适，你在冒险方面得到的最大教训是什么？我在冒险方面的最大教训是什么？真有意思。
I think I would split that lesson into two. Number one, not all risks are worth taking.
我想我会把教训一分为二。第一，不是所有的风险都值得冒。
And what I mean by that is sometimes, I understand that the risk may not even be to myself but it may be to the subject of the comedy or the unintended consequences of the comedy that I"m saying.
And so, what I realize is I go, "Ah if I"m trying to tell this joke, and it may come off the wrong way. Let me try and spend more time not telling it and figuring out how to clean up the, the, you know, what I like to call the targets of the joke."
我的意思是，有时候，我明白风险甚至可能不在我自己身上，但也可能是在喜剧的主题上，或者是我所说的喜剧的意外后果上。所以，我意识到我在想，“啊，如果我想讲这个笑话，它可能会被误解。让我试着花更多的时间不去讲它，想想如何清理那些，你知道的，我喜欢称之为笑话对象的东西。”
And, and then minimize the risk if I can call it that because, you know, I can"t control how people feel about jokes. Everyone can be offended about anything.
