这段演讲听起来,就像是在享受一部电影,Mike不愧是节目主持人,一定读过很多书,他可以把故事讲的特别搞笑,用词就会把你带到故事中,身临其境的感觉。
虽然只在最后点明了主旨,就是,不要嫌弃“dirty job”,在做这些工作的人,其实都很享受的,因为诸如 carpenter,plumber,welder,pipefitter,steamfitter 这些底层的工作,才是构建豪华大厦的基础。
但是在前面的大篇幅的故事中,他一边讲,一边就传递给听众一个感觉,阉羊,还真的是挺欢乐的一个工作,虽然开始你会厌恶,但是看着小羊们,蹦蹦跳跳开心地吃草时,这个过程就像是你在经历一个 发现(Anagnorisis) 和 转折(Peripeteia) 的过程,是神奇的。
