《律政俏佳人》(Legally Blonde),香港译《 律政可人儿》,台湾译《金法尤物》,是美国米高梅电影公司制作的校园喜剧电影。

该片讲述了精通打扮的金发美女艾丽·伍兹(Elle Woods),因为社会偏见被考上法学院的男友甩了,她为了追回男朋友也考进哈佛法学院,用行动证明自己的励志故事。

在影片结尾,艾丽·伍兹作了一段非常精彩的毕业演讲,非常值得背诵全文并领会其中的深意。以下是演讲全文:

Professor Stromwell: I am, personally, very honored to introduce this year's class-elected speaker. After getting off to a quite interesting start here at Harvard, she graduates today with an invitation to join one of Boston's most prestigious law firms. I am sure we are going to see great things from her. Ladies and Gentlemen: Elle Woods.

Ms. Woods: On our very first day at Harvard, a very wise Professor quoted Aristotle: "The law is reason free from passion." Well, no offense to Aristotle, but in my three years at Harvard I have come to find that passion is a key ingredient to the study and practice of law -- and of life. It is with passion, courage of conviction, and strong sense of self that we take our next steps into the world, remembering that first impressions are not always correct. You must always have faith in people. And most importantly, you must always have faith in yourself. Congratulations class of 2004 -- we did it!
