academic

“(Laughter) If you want real evidence of out-of-body experiences, by the way, get yourself along to a residential conference of senior academics and pop into the discotheque on the final night.”

顺便说一句，如果你想看真正的“离体体验”，不妨去参加一场高级学者的驻地会议，并在最后一晚溜进迪斯科舞厅看看。

“And of course, the academic, insecure part of me was like, "You're going to call me a what?"”

当然，我内心那个缺乏自信的学者部分立刻冒出来：‘你要叫我什么？’

“On this wonderful day, when we are gathered together to celebrate your academic success, I have decided to talk to you about the benefits of failure.”

在这个美好的日子里，我们齐聚一堂庆祝你们的学业有成，我决定谈谈失败的好处。
