南京女生美国波士顿大学毕业典礼演讲全文【中英文对照】
2013年普林斯顿大学毕业典礼-美联储主席伯南克演讲稿(译文)
2013年美联储主席伯南克普林斯顿大学毕业典礼演讲伯南克的十诫对一个刚踏入职场的毕业生来说非常中肯,在此推荐。
以下为伯南克演讲主要内容:重返普林斯顿感觉不错,很难相信,我离开校园赴华盛顿已经11年了。
近期我向校方询问了我的教职问题,回信称:“很遗憾,普林斯顿收到很多更有才华的学者的求职信,而教职有限。
”我将在稍后献上对毕业生的最美好祝愿,首先我要恭喜在座的家长们。
作为父母,我知道这年头供孩子读完大学不容易,数年前,我的一个同事有3个孩子毕业于普林斯顿,尽管他们夫妻都不毕业于此,但我的同事常说,从财政角度讲,这如同每年买辆卡迪拉克,然后让车坠崖。
他总会补充说,他会毫不犹豫的选择重新来过。
所以,感谢你们的工作,母亲们,父亲们,及家人们。
这确实是做毕业典礼演讲的合适场合,我认为,在这一讲台上,每个精神导师都受到过“十诫”的教诲,我没有那样的信心,而且无论无何,觊觎邻居的驴牛已不是目前的问题,所以今年前几分钟我将提出“十个建议”,或称为对这个世界和你们毕业后的生活的十个观察。
请注意,这十点与利率毫无关系。
我之所以有资格提出这些建议和或观察,除了普林斯顿的善意邀请外,理由和你们讨厌的哥哥姐姐可以晚睡是一个道理:我比你们更老。
以下内容均经受过生活的考验,但以往表现并不能确保未来的结果。
1、当代哲学家阿甘曾讲到人生和巧克力的相似性,你不知道下一块巧克力的味道。
人生确实难以预料,任何一个认为知道其10年后情况的毕业生,更不同说三十年了,我只能说他或她缺乏想象力。
看看我吧,12年前我一心教经济学入门课程,想着编造什么理由不参加教学会议,结果我接到了那个电话。
有过你有机会与毕业25年、30年或40年的校友交谈,并使他们敞开心扉,他们将告诉你,他们对生活中哪些事满意或不满意,他们经历过的高潮和低谷。
但我敢打赌,他们的人生故事将与预期相异。
这是好事而不是坏事,谁想在故事的开篇就知道结局呢?2、是否人生偶然性之大的事实,意味着小的决定和行动无足轻重,不需要规划和奋斗呢?当然不是。

米歇尔致毕业生的演讲稿毕业演讲往往鼓舞人心,让你跃跃欲试,恨不得立刻冲出门去,追梦而行。
然而现实是残酷的,保持乐观很重要,但面对现实更是至关重要的。
下面是米歇尔致毕业生的,希望小编整理的对你有用,欢迎阅读:米歇尔致毕业生的演讲稿(中英对照)First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee high school graduates: Strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome inevitable failures with determination and grit.Mrs. Obama spoke for 22 minutes to the graduates of Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet High School on Saturday in her only high school commencement address this year. The ceremony took place in the gymnasium of nearby T ennessee State University.美国第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马5月18日向高中毕业生给出宝贵建议,告诫他们在大学、生活和工作中要走自己的路,依靠决心和勇气战胜不可避免的失败。
当天在田纳西州马丁·路德·金高中毕业典礼上,米歇尔·奥巴马致辞22分钟,这是她今年唯一一场高中演讲。
演讲在附近田纳西州立大学的体育馆举行。
The first lady told the 170 graduates that she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic achievements. While her success in college and law school led to a high-profile job, she said, she ended up leaving to focus on public service."My message to all of you today is this: Do not waste a minute living someone else's dream," she said. "It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy ... and you won't find what you love simply by checking boxes or padding your GPA."在演讲中,她告诉170名毕业生,当年她在大学致力于学业,之后凭借在学校的成功如愿以偿地摘取高职,不过最终还是投身公共服务。
劳伦斯·卢基诺在波士顿大学毕业典礼上的演讲
劳伦斯·卢基诺在波士顿大学毕业典礼上的演讲作者:By Lawrence Lucchino来源:《英语学习》2018年第02期Now I know you hoped for a Commencement speaker beloved in Boston—a man known for his popularity, character, and grace under pressure. I do know enough to know the most important thing about a commencement address: Be brief!After you’ve worked, studied, struggled for so many years, now comes the hard part: listening to a commencement address. One friend who has given about a zillion1 commencement speeches gave me some great advice:“Larry, keep it short and let them go party. They’re not gonna listen to you anyway.”The Boston Red Sox2 thank you, Boston University and we thank you, Class of 2008, for what you’ve done for us. Now, my role today is to share a few insights, and offer a bit of advice to you as you go out into the hard, cold world.Let me start with a personal note that is a bit embarrassing. Not long after I completed law school, I kept—enlarged, framed, and posted proudly in my office—a passage written by Brendan Gill, a writer and critic for The New Yorker magazine.3 He wrote it as encouragement for the young, who, even in the easy-going 1970s, were hearing,in Mr. Gill’s opinion, far too much about what a serious matter life was.According to Mr. Gill, I quote:“Not a shred of4 evidence exists in favor of the argument that life is serious, though it is often hard and even terrible. Since everything ends badly for us, in the inescapable catastrophe of death,5 it seems obvious that the first rule of life is to have a good time and that the second rule of life is to hurt as few people as possible. There is no third rule.”For years, I did not doubt this quotation. After three unexpected decades as a baseball executive, and after several decades of errors, missteps, and regrets, I instead offer my personal “Top Ten List,” in no particular order: my list of some of the lessons that life and the world of sports have tried their best to teach me.Number 10: Give a nod to Mr. Gill. Of course, it is true that life must be fun; also, that kindness is essential—and you do need to work at both. Mr. Gill wasn’t entirely wrong, just terribly incomplete.Number 9: Be bold—do be prudent—but please take risks, in your personal life, in your career, in your travels. In one of my favorite Meryl Streep movies, Defending Your Life, the main character is challenged for a lifetime of caution and timidity:6 “Fear is like a giant fog. It sits on your brain and blocks everything. Real feeling, true happiness, real joy,they can’t get through that fog. But if you lift it, then buddy,you’re in for the ride of your life.”Number 8: Smile, laugh, and be pleasant. This may sound banal7 and naive. It is not. It is a profound occupational and personal advantage. Let me quote Elwood P. Dowd8, the central character in the unforgettable Jimmy Stewart film Harvey—a man with whom I have come to agree. Quote:“My mother used to say to me,‘Elwood, in this world you must be oh-so9 clever, or oh-so pleasant.’For 40 years I tried clever. I recommend pleasant.”Number 7: Be strong enough to say,“I don’t know.”When you don’t know or understand something—and such a time may come even after the superior education you have received at BU—when you don’t kno w,say so. Don’t guess. Don’t fake it. If you don’t have the answer, these seven words often work out well:“I don’t know,but I’ll find out.” You won’t mislead your colleagues, and people will respect your honesty and self-assurance10.Number 6: Remember: Life is too hard to be lived alone. Find time for your family. You only get one. “Thank God,” I can hear some of you saying out there. And, a family of your own will change the way you look at life, at your parents,at your grandparents. “Oh, now I get it,” you’ll say. So, put simply, call home; call your parents, but especially call your mother! And remember,texting doesn’t count. And check in with your grandparents, often the most loyal,loving and supportive people you will ever have in your life. Ponder11 this riddle: Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well? The answer—and I say it light-heartedly:Because they have an enemy in common.12 And work at friendship. Develop a talent for friendship. Friends fill a life; they represent perhaps the purest choices you ever make in life.Number 5: Reflect often upon the most important source of knowledge in your student years—your classmates. It’s from them that you have discovered other ways of looking at the world—other ways of living. Stay in touch with the people who matter to you—share one another’s lives. Through sharing one another’s sorrow,you will find life tolerable. Through sharing one another’s joys, you will enhance your life.Number 4: Remember Jackie Robinson13. Be mindful of the catalytic effect one person can have on a community, on a neighborhood, on a nation, on a compelling cause or a nagging injustice.14 Hold within yourself a capacity for outrage15 at injustice. Be confident that if you fight long enough and hard enough, you too can make a difference. And like Jackie Robinson, you can do it with dignity.Number 3:Don’t be colorblind. Your world is indeed a rich, open, diverse, multi-colored, multi-ethnic, multi-textured16, multi-cultural experience. Declaring that all groups are the same is a deceit17; believing that some ethnic groups are better than others is a moral disgrace. Embrace and celebrate the pluralism18 and diversity that are the essence of American life, indeed the essence of all of life. We aren’t all the same,we shouldn’t try to be. Immerse yourself; enjoy our enriching differences. Opposites allegedly19 attract; they also educate.Number 2:Seek balance. A rich life is a balanced life. Don’t focus too early on your career. Deviate20 a bit. Embrace change. A Yale professor of my era once preached21:“Everything before age 30 was preface.” Widen your gaze. The world is open, and full of opportunity. And, pay attention to Sigmund Freud’s22 famous definition of mental health:“to work, to love, and to play well.”Finally, Number 1: Help some people along the way. The famous French soldier and statesman, Marquis de Lafayette, wrote long ago of America:“What charms me most is that all of the citizens are brethren.”23 We are—and must still be—brethren. Find a cause you care about. Involve yourself. And start early in life. For me, a two-time cancer survivor, cancer research and patient treatment are at the top of my priorities, and those of the ever-growing Red Sox Foundation24.Life is not about warming yourself by the fire, life is about building the fire. And generosity is the match. There is a Chinese proverb25 that applies. Roughly it says that if you want happiness for an hour, take a nap, but if you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.In closing, let me say that, today is a day to focus on your triumph. I congratulate you—and with great admiration—wish you long and rewarding lives. God bless you, and thank you very much.1. zillion:不计其数的。

For the wonderful men who are here today, if you feel a little uncomfortable, we’re really glad you’re here, and no line for the men’s room. It’s worth it.大家在这里齐聚一堂,我感到由衷的喜悦,一方面因为我大学时期的室友,卡洛琳·韦伯,也在这里,现在是你们的老师。

女孩毕业典礼发言稿英文
女孩毕业典礼发言稿英文Good evening, distinguished guests, honorable teachers, beloved friends, and my fellow graduates. It is an absolute honor to stand before you today as we celebrate the culmination of our years of hard work and dedication. On behalf of my peers, I would like to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt gratitude to all of you for joining us on this special occasion.As we gather here to mark the end of this chapter in our lives, I can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia and bittersweet emotions. We have come a long way from the nervous freshmen we once were, unsure of what the future held for us. Now, as we stand on the brink of adulthood, ready to take on the world, we can't help but look back on the memories and experiences that have shaped us into the individuals we are today.I would like to start by acknowledging the unwavering support and guidance of our teachers. You have been more than just educators; you have been mentors, role models, and sources of inspiration. You have not only imparted knowledge but also instilled in us the values of resilience, perseverance, and determination. Your dedication to our growth and development has played an integral role in our success, and for that, we are eternally grateful.I would also like to express our utmost appreciation to our families and friends, who have been our pillars of strength throughout this journey. Your love, encouragement, and sacrifices have been the driving force behind our achievements. You have cheered us on through the highs and lows, and your unwavering belief in us has given us the confidence to pursue our dreams. Today, we share thistriumph with you, for without your unwavering support, we would not be standing here today.As we reflect on the past, it's important to acknowledge the challenges and hurdles we've overcome to reach this milestone. We have faced countless late-night study sessions, daunting exams, and overwhelming assignments. We've experienced moments of self-doubt, setbacks, and disappointments. But through it all, we persevered. We learned to pick ourselves up after every fall, to push through the obstacles, and to emerge stronger and more resilient than before. These experiences have taught us invaluable lessons that extend far beyond the confines of the classroom.Today, as we close this chapter and step into the next phase of our lives, we carry with us the lessons we've learned, the friendships we've formed, and the memories we've cherished. We stand at the threshold of endless possibilities, armed with the knowledge and skills to carve out our own path in the world. Our journey doesn't end here; it's only just beginning. As we venture into the unknown, let us remember the values and principles that have guided us thus far.First and foremost, let us hold onto our dreams and aspirations with unwavering determination. Let us strive for excellence in all that we do, and never settle for anything less than our best. Let us embrace challenges with courage and fortitude, knowing that setbacks are merely stepping stones to success. Let us remain open-minded and adaptable, ready to seize new opportunities and explore uncharted territories. Let us never forget the importance of compassion, empathy, and integrity, and let us use our knowledgeand skills to effect positive change in the world.As we embark on this new chapter, let us not lose sight of the values and principles that have brought us to this point. Let us continue to learn, grow, and evolve, knowing that the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong endeavor. Let us strive to make a difference in the lives of others, and to leave a legacy that inspires future generations. Let us remember the importance of humility and gratitude, and never cease to express our appreciation for those who have supported us along the way.Today, we have the world at our feet, and the possibilities are endless. Let us embrace the future with open hearts and unwavering determination, knowing that we have the power to shape our destinies. Let us face the challenges that lie ahead with courage and resilience, knowing that we are well-equipped to overcome them. Let us cherish the memories we've made and the friendships we've formed, knowing that they will always be a source of strength and comfort.In closing, I would like to congratulate my fellow graduates on this momentous achievement. As we leave this hallowed institution and embark on our individual paths, let us remember that we are forever bound by the experiences we've shared and the memories we've created. Let us remain united in spirit and purpose, and let us support and uplift one another as we navigate the uncertainties of the future. Let us seize the opportunities that await us, knowing that the best is yet to come.Thank you once again to everyone who has played a part in ourjourney. Your presence here today is a testament to the love and support that has shaped us into the individuals we are today. As we bid farewell to this chapter of our lives, let us do so with gratitude, hope, and excitement for the future. Congratulations, Class of [Year]! The world awaits us, and I have no doubt that we will leave our mark on it. Thank you.。

感谢校长Brown先生、校董们、老师们、在场嘉宾以及所有的毕业生!大家下午好!能在今天回到母校,与你们共度这美好的一天,我倍感荣幸。
今年年初,我正在洛杉矶地区为新生家长及校友筹办晚宴。
当Brown校长打电话给我时,我以为他是要与我商量晚宴菜单或当晚的活动安排。
没想到他是打电话来邀请我为今年的毕业典礼做演讲嘉宾。
这是我做梦也不敢想的事情。
我倍感荣幸,也有着困惑。
当下我的第一反应是我可以帮忙找到更好的毕业典礼致辞嘉宾人选。
Brown校长礼貌地拒绝了我的提议,说道:“Nina,讲述你的故事。
我认为你的个人旅程将对学生们大有启发,让他们更能产生共鸣。
”我不确定我的故事能给你们以何种启发或让你们产生哪些共鸣,但我能保证的是,与当初刚毕业的我相比,你们做了更好的准备去开始未来的职业发展之路。
现在看来,我在毕业时的那些雄心壮志可能无法引领我走到今天的位置。
在来参加毕业典礼的路上,我回想起我从BU毕业时的情景,当时的心情就像在坐过山车。
我清楚地记得,我先是充满感恩,感恩我终于毕业了!接着,我感到害怕,对于我已经毕业的事实感到害怕。
我想,现在的你们或许也有同样的感觉。
我希望你们对父母心怀感恩,不止是感谢他们为你的啤酒或星巴克付账,更要感谢来自亲友们的爱与支持让你走到了今天。
对那些一直在支持你的人们,那些今天到场的嘉宾和已经辞世的亲友们,心存感恩。
对那些无私帮助过你、让你变得更好更快乐的人们说声感谢。
毕业典礼外籍发言稿英语
It is a great honor for me to stand here today and address you at this special occasion, the graduation ceremony of [University Name]. As an international graduate, I am particularly moved to be a part of this celebration of achievement and success.First and foremost, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the graduates. This day marks the culmination of your hard work, dedication, and perseverance. You have come a long way, and your achievements are a testament to your abilities and character.As you gather here today, you are undoubtedly feeling a mix of emotions – excitement, relief, and perhaps a touch of nostalgia. Excitement for the new opportunities that lie ahead, relief at having completed your academic journey, and nostalgia for the friends and memories you have made along the way. I understand these emotions all too well, as I too was once a graduate, and I can still vividly recall the feelings of anticipation and uncertainty that accompanied that time in my life.Today, I would like to share with you some thoughts and reflections on the significance of this moment and the path that lies ahead. I will focus on three key themes: the power of education, the importance of cultural exchange, and the responsibility of global citizenship.1. The Power of EducationEducation is a transformative force. It has the power to shape our lives, broaden our horizons, and unlock our potential. As graduates, you have had the privilege of accessing some of the best educational resourcesand opportunities available. You have been exposed to a wealth of knowledge, ideas, and experiences that have enriched your intellectual and personal growth.Education has not only equipped you with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in your chosen fields but has also instilled in you a sense of curiosity, critical thinking, and a desire to learn. These qualities are essential for navigating the complexities of the modern world and for making meaningful contributions to society.As you move forward, remember that education is not a destination but a journey. Continue to seek knowledge, embrace lifelong learning, and never cease to challenge yourself. The world is constantly evolving, and only by staying informed and adaptable can you continue to grow and thrive.2. The Importance of Cultural ExchangeThe global community is more interconnected than ever before. The opportunities for cultural exchange and collaboration have expanded, allowing us to learn from one another and to appreciate the diversity of our world. As international graduates, you have had the unique experience of studying and living in a different culture, which has undoubtedly enriched your lives.Cultural exchange is not just about learning about other cultures; it is also about understanding and appreciating your own. By immersingyourself in a different environment, you have gained a deeper understanding of your own values, beliefs, and identity. This knowledge will serve you well as you navigate the complexities of an increasingly globalized world.As you embark on your professional and personal journeys, remember the importance of cultural exchange and the power of empathy. Be open to new experiences, embrace diversity, and strive to build bridges of understanding and cooperation. The world needs your unique perspectives and contributions to foster a more inclusive and harmonious society.3. The Responsibility of Global CitizenshipAs global citizens, we have a responsibility to contribute to the betterment of our world. The challenges we face today, such as climate change, inequality, and conflict, require collective action and cooperation. As graduates, you have the knowledge, skills, and passion to address these issues and make a positive impact.The responsibility of global citizenship extends beyond your professional lives. It is about being aware of the world around you and taking action to make it a better place. This can mean volunteering yourtime, supporting social causes, or simply being an informed and engaged member of your community.As you go forth, remember that you are part of a global community, and your actions have the power to influence the lives of others. Be a leader, be a mentor, and be a role model. Show compassion, be just, and be courageous in the face of adversity.In conclusion, today is a day of celebration and reflection. As you stand on the threshold of a new chapter in your lives, I urge you to embrace the power of education, the importance of cultural exchange, and the responsibility of global citizenship. The world is waiting for your unique talents and perspectives.As you move forward, remember that you are not alone. Your family, friends, and mentors have supported you along the way, and they will continue to do so. Take pride in your achievements, be grateful for the opportunities you have been given, and never lose sight of your dreams and aspirations.Congratulations, graduates. The future is yours to shape. Go forth and make a difference in the world.Thank you.。
美国美女毕业生演讲稿
美国美女毕业生演讲稿Dear graduates, faculty, family, and friends,。
It is with great honor and humility that I stand before you today as a proud American woman and a recent graduate. As I reflect on my time in college and the journey that has brought me to this moment, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunities that have been afforded to me, as well as a sense of responsibility to use my education and experiences to make a positive impact in the world.When I think of the title "American Beauty: A Graduation Speech," I am reminded of the diverse and vibrant tapestry of the United States. We are a nation of immigrants, a melting pot of cultures, traditions, and perspectives. As I look out at this graduating class, I see the faces of individuals from all walks of life, each with their own unique story and journey. This diversity is what makes America beautiful, and it is what gives me hope for the future.As we stand on the precipice of a new chapter in our lives, it is important to acknowledge the challenges that we have faced and the obstacles that we have overcome. The road to graduation has not been easy for many of us, and it is a testament to our strength and resilience that we are here today. We have weathered the storms of late-night study sessions, the pressure of exams, and the uncertainty of the future. But through it all, we have persevered, and we have emerged stronger and more determined than ever.As we look to the future, it is important to remember that our education does not end with a diploma. It is a lifelong journey of learning, growth, and self-discovery. We must continue to seek out new opportunities, to challenge ourselves, and to embrace the unknown. We must be open to new ideas, new perspectives, and new ways of thinking. It is through this openness and willingness to learn that we will continue to grow and evolve as individuals.In the words of American poet Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how youmade them feel." As we move forward in our lives and careers, let us strive to make a positive impact on those around us. Let us be kind, compassionate, and empathetic. Let us use our voices and our actions to speak out against injustice and inequality. Let us be the change that we wish to see in the world.In conclusion, I am filled with hope and optimism for the future. I believe that each and every one of us has the power to make a difference, to create a more just and equitable society, and to leave a lasting legacy. As we go forth from this place, let us carry with us the lessons that we have learned, the friendships that we have forged, and the memories that we have made. Let us be proud of who we are and where we come from, and let us never forget the beauty of the American spirit.Congratulations to the Class of 2022. I cannot wait to see the incredible things that we will accomplish.Thank you.。
美国国务卿克里在波士顿学院2019年毕业典礼上英语演讲稿
美国国务卿克里在波士顿学院2019年毕业典礼上英语演讲稿Your Eminence Cardinal O’Malley, Father President Leahy, Father Monan, Father Devino, members of the faculty, my fellow recipients of honorary degrees, parents, siblings, and the distinguished class of 2019: Congratulations to everybody here today.You know I thought I had a lot to worry about as I was listening to the introduction, betweenAfghanistan and Iran and so forth. But now I’m worried about where Challenger is. (Laughter.)I will leave here knowing that Boston College liberates eagles. (Laughter.)It’s a great honor to be with you. You all might remember from English class that the greatAmerican novelist Thomas Wolfe wrote that you can’t go home ag ain. Or maybe you know thatquote because it’s the same thing that your parents are telling you now. (Laughter.)Well, Wolfe had obviously never been to Boston College. It is nice to be off an airplane, but myfriends, it is great to be home. I am really happy to be here. (Applause and cheers.)I know that many of you stayed up all night so you could see your last sunrise at BC. (Cheers.)Some of you thought it would never come, graduation that is. I’ve got news for you: Some ofyour parents and professors didn’t think so either. (Laughter.) Now, I notice a lot of you are wearing shades. It won’t work, folks. I’ll still hear you snoring. (Laughter.)I was on the campus of one of your rivals yesterday in New Haven. And while I let them knowthat they could be proud of their title in men’s hockey last year, I also had to put it inperspective: Yale is still four titles behind BC. (Cheers andapplause.)There are many things actually that Yale and Boston College have in common, but one isprobably the most powerful: mutual dislike of Harvard. (Laughter.) Although to be fair,hundreds of schools don’t like Harvard very much.As Secretary of State, I track many factions and rivalries around the world. BC versus NotreDame is at the top of my list. Of course, there’s also Al ec Baldwin versus the NYPD. (Laughter.)Beyonce’s sister versus Jay Z. (Laughter and cheers.) And then there’s the rivalry: Red Soxand Yankees. (Cheering and applause.) We absolutely loved the last ten years: Yankees –oneWorld Series, and Red Sox – three. That’s my kind of rivalry, folks. (Cheers.)Now BC reminds us today that though rivalries can be overcome, here today you have honoreda Holy Cross alumnus, the great Bob Cousy, who, as you heard earlier in his degreepresentation, won 117 games at Boston when he was coaching here. Eighty-five years old andthe Celtics could have used him this year. (Laughter.)So we have with us today a great legend, but most importantly an amazing person, anamazing player, and three other extraordinary builders of community, all of whom I am veryhonored to share degrees with today. Their lives and their selfless service are testimony to thefact that Boston College is an amazing place.Over the past years, you have all been blessed to experience a special quality that has alwaysdefined BC: the welcoming spirit of this community. That has been a distinguishingcharacteristic of Boston College since its first days, when it opened its doors to Irishimmigrants and Catholics who were barred from otherschools.When I came here more than 40 years ago, I want you to know that I felt that welcomefirsthand. I had, as you heard, served in war, and when I came home, I worked to end it. It wasa turbulent time – for our country, for me personally. It was a time of division anddisillusionment.But because of one thoughtful man of conscience, one member of the Boston Collegecommunity, I found a home right here.Many of you today might not even recognize the name of Father Robert Drinan. He was thedean of the Law School and he was running for Congress when I first visited him on thecampus.And what impressed me most about Father Drinan – whether on Chestnut Hill or Capitol Hill –was that he made no apologies for his deep and abiding Catholic commitment to the weak, thehelpless, the downtrodden.“If a person is really a Christian,” Father Drinan would say, “they will be in anguish over globalhunger, injustice, over the denial of educational opportunity.”In fact, it was Father Drinan who encouraged me to study law at BC, even when it wasn’t theobv ious path. I had come to law school from a different background than my classmates. I’dserved in the Navy, just turned 30, and had a young family.And because of where I’d been and what I’d seen, I came to Boston College with a set ofnagging questions. I had confronted my own mortality head-on during the war, where faithwas as much a part of my daily life as the battle itself. In fact, I wore my rosary around myneck hoping for protection.But on closer examination, I realized my wartime relationship with God was really a dependentone –a “God, get me throughthis and I’ll be good” kind of relationship. And as I becamedisillusioned with the war, my faith also was put to test.There’s something theologians call “the problem of evil.” It’s the difficulty of exp laining howterrible and senseless events are, in fact, part of God’s plan. That was a very real test for me.Some of my closest friends were killed. You see things in war that haunt you for the rest ofyour life.So coming here to BC Law, reading St. Augustine on the problem of evil, or St. ThomasAquinas on just war, the letters of St. Paul and thoughts about suffering – this was not anabstract or academic exercise. It was a chance to dig in and really try to understand whereand how everything fit, including trying to understand where I fit in. I’m sure a lot of you askthose questions.It was the compassion, listening, and understanding that I experienced at BC that made mefeel welcome, taught me literally how to think critically, how to ask the right questions, andreinforced in me a personal sense of direction.It would be years before Pope Francis would talk about the responsibility we all have to reachout to those who “stand at the crossroads.” I might not have connected the dots at the time,but that is exactly what BC was doing for me and I hope has done for you.The people I met here were putting into action the words of the Jesuit motto that you’ve heardalready today: “Men and women for others.”Every institution has a mission or a motto –that’s the easy part. The hard part is ensuringthat they’re not just words. We have to make sure that even as our world changes rapidly andin so many ways, we can still, each of us, give new meaning to ourvalues.Today, I promise you that is one of the greatest challenges of America’s foreign policy: ensuringthat even when it’s not popular, even when it’s not easy, America still lives up to our idealsand our responsibilities to lead.Never forget that what makes America different from other nations is not a common religion ora common bloodline or a common ideology or a common heritage. What makes us different isthat we are united by an uncommon idea: that we’re all created equal and all endowed withunalienable rights. America is –and I say this without chauvinism or any arrogancewhatsoever, but America is not just a country like other countries. America is an idea, and we –all of us, you – get to fill it out over time. (Applause.) So our citizenship is not just a privilege– it is a profound responsibility.And in a shrinki ng world, we can’t measure our success just by what we achieve as Americansfor Americans, but also by the security and shared prosperity that we build with our partnersall over world.In times of crisis, violence, strife, epidemic, and instability –believe me – the world stilllooks to the United States of America as a partner of first resort. People aren’t worried aboutour presence; they’re worried about our leaving. One of the great privileges of being Secretaryof State is getting to see that firsthand.In December, I walked through the devastation left behind by the typhoon in the Philippines.The U.S. military and USAID had arrived on the scene before countries that are much closerthan we are.This month in the Democratic Republic of Congo, I saw howthe United States is supportingsurgeons and Catholic nuns helping victims of violence and abuse.And just a few weeks ago in Ethiopia, I saw what our sustained commitment to combattingAIDS is achieving. Local doctors and nurses are making possible the dream of an AIDS-freegeneration. We’re on the cusp of achieving that.And what we have done to turn back the armies of defeatism and indifference in the fightagainst AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and even polio –this work should give every one of youconfidence to confront another cross-border, cross-generational challenge, the challengeof a changing climate. If we’re going to live up to our values, this is a test that we have tomeet.Now look, I know this is hard, because I spent almost 30 years in the United States Senatepushing this issue, trying to get colleagues to move. We got up to maybe 55 votes, couldn’tquite get to 60. And I know it’s hard to feel the urgency. As we sit here on an absolutelybeautiful morning in Boston, you might not see climate change as an immediate threat toyour job, your community, or your families. But let me tell you, it is.Two major recent reports, one from the UN and one from retired U.S. military leaders, warn usnot just of the crippling consequences to come, but that some of them are already here. Ninety-seven percent of the world’s scientists tell us this is urgent. Why? Because if crops can’t grow,there’ll be food insecurity. If there’s less water because of longer droughts, if there arestronger and more powerful storms, things will change in a hurry and they will change for theworse.Climate change is directly related to the potential of greaterconflict and greater stability –instability. I’m telling you that there are people in parts of the world – in Africa today, theyfight each other over water. They kill each over it. And if glaciers are melting and there’s lesswater available and more people, that is a challenge we have to face. And guess what? It isthe poorest and the weakest who face the greatest risk. As Father Drinan would say, we shouldbe in anguish over this. (Applause.)What’s frustrating is that this challenge is not without a solution. In fact, not one problem Ican think of today that we face in this country is without a solution. It’s a question ofcapacity, willpower. The solution is actually staring us in the face. It is energy policy. Makethe right energy policy choices and America can lead a $6 trillion market with 4 billion userstoday and growing to 9 billion users in the next 50 years.If we make the necessary efforts to address this challenge –and supposing I’m wrong orscientists are wrong, 97 percent of them all wrong –supposing they are, what’s the worst thatcan happen? We put millions of people to work transitioning our energy, creating new andrenewable and alternative; we make life healthier because we have less particulates in the airand cleaner air and more health; we give ourselves greater security through greater energyindependence –that’s the downside. This is not a matter of politics or partisanship; it’s amatter of science and stewardship. And it’s not a matter of capacity; it’s a matter of willpower. (Applause.)But if we do nothing, and it turns out that the critics and the naysayers and the members ofthe Flat Earth Society, if it turns out that the y’re wrong, then we are risking nothing less thanthe future of the entire planet. This is not a hard choice, frankly. But still, let me tell you weneed the help of every single one of youto make it.In the end, all of these global challenges – how to defend against extremism, how toeradicate disease, how to provide young people with opportunity, how to protect our planet– all of these questions of whether men and women can live in dignity. What do I mean bydignity? I mean exactly the same thing that Father David Hollenbach taught on this campusand brought to the forefront of Catholic social teaching: That when families have access toclean water and clean power, they can live in dignity. When people have the freedom to choosetheir government on election day and to engage their fellow citizens every day, they can livein dignity. When all citizens can make their full contribution no matter their ethnicity; nomatter who they love or what name they give to God, they can live in dignity.And this is where you come in: the struggle for dignity. Whether across town or across theworld, it makes demands on your own lives. The diploma that you will receive today isn’t just acertificate of accomplishment. It’s a charge to keep. It’s a powerful challenge to every singleone of you, because you have already been blessed with a world-class education, and with itcomes responsibility. Part of that responsibility is taking to heart the values that you’ve learnedhere and sharing them with the world beyond BC. That spirit of service is part of the fabric ofthis school, just as it is part of the fabric of our nation.I often think of the words of our first Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, someone who alsofounded a prestigious university like yours. Jefferson spoke about the beauty of a simpleimage: using one candle to light another. And he said that when that happens, both candlesgain light and neither candle loses any. He was talking about the contagious quality ofsharedknowledge. As heirs to the Jesuit tradition, this is an idea that you know well. Twocenturies before Jefferson, St. Ignatius Loyola always closed his letters with a simple charge,and it’s one I pass on to you today. St. Ignatius wrote simply, “Set the world aflame.”So graduates of 2019, pass on your light to others. Set the world aflame with your service.Welcome those who are lost; seek out those at the crossroads. That is how you can fulfill yourresponsibility as a graduate of this great institution. That is how you can answer the call to bea servant, leader, and that is how you can keep faith with and renew the idea of America, andthat is how we all live up to our duty as citizens.Congratulations to all of you. Good luck and God bless.。

南京女生美国波士顿大学毕业典礼演讲全文【中英文对照】Greetings! Friends, family, faculty and staff. Welcome to Boston University on such a beautiful Friday night.问候!朋友,家人,教职员工。
欢迎大家在这样一个美丽的星期五晚上来到波士顿大学。
My name is Yujing Cai, and I am a graduate from the Master of Mathematical Finance program. I come from Nanjing, China, one of the oldest cities in the world. Right now, my family is sitting somewhere over there. They travelled, literally across half of the world to see their baby girl graduate and talk in a language they don’t understand. Therefore, I am tremendously honored to share my perspective of 6 years at the Questrom School of Business.我的名字是蔡语婧,我硕士毕业于数学金融专业。
我来自中国南京,世界上最古老的城市之一。
现在,我的家人坐在那里。
他们旅行跨越了半个地球来看他们的宝贝女儿毕业,并用他们不明白的语言演讲。
因此,我非常荣幸能够在此分享我在Questrom商学院六年的感悟。
One of the things I always enjoyed doing while waiting for classes was looking at the different country flags in our atrium.Sometimes my friends and I even have silly competitions going on to see who knew more flags, and it often amazed me how many different cultures andnationalities are represented in our community.在等待上课时,我最喜欢做的事情之一就是看着我们商学院大厅挂着的不同的国旗。
有时我还会和朋友们傻傻地比赛,看谁认得出更多的国旗。
而我时常惊讶于我们的学生群体里有这么多不同的文化和民族的代表。
In a community, so diverse, mutual understanding doesn’t come easily, so I tried hard to be adaptive from the beginning. Soon, I found myself adjusting to the bigger food portion, and railways in the middle of the road. I even tried fortunes cookies for the first time in my life! Soon, I felt so content with this progress and I gradually built a cozy nest with people of my culture, my age, and who thought and acted exactly like I did. Why bother talking to anyone else? The coursework and job-hunting were already so tiring, and meeting people outside my circle just seemed so scary and unnecessary.在这样一个多元化的群体里,相互理解并不容易,所以我从一开始就努力地让自己适应。
很快,我发现自己适应了这里更大的食量,和马路正中间的铁路。
我甚至人生中第一次品尝了幸运饼干!(幸运饼干Fortune Cookie: 美式中餐馆提供的打开后有祝福纸条的饼干)很快,我满足于自己的进步,于是我逐渐建立一个充满了与我的文化背景,年龄相仿的人的舒适的窝。
他们的所思所想都与我相似,我又何必再和任何其他人交流?学校的课业和找工作的过程已经让人疲惫不堪,跨出我自己的圈子去和其他人交往看起来是那么的不必要甚至可怕。
Then one day something changed. It was a normal school day, and I was in the atrium looking at the flags as always. I saw that the flag of China was surrounded nicely by the flags of Canada, Chile, Colombia, and DR Congo, and suddenly it struck me that I didn’t know anyone of those nationalities. What a waste it was for me to ignore the diversity of experience and opinions that the Questrom community had to offer! I was determined to change, but it wasn’t easy:而这一天一切改变了。
这是一个正常的上课日,我一如既往地在大厅里看着不同的国旗。
我看到中国的国旗被加拿大,智利,哥伦比亚和刚果民主共和国的国旗很好看地包围着,突然间我惊觉到我并不认识任何这些国籍的人。
我意识到,忽略Questrom这样多元化群体提供给我的多样的经验和观点是多大的浪费!我决心要改变,但这并不容易:I experienced the awkwardness of having to explain a joke that no one understood, the nervousness of asking questions about other cultures that seemed so obvious and silly, and the anger of defending my beliefs only to get suspicion and aloofness in return. Fortunately, these discomforts weresoon taken over by things like the amusement of teaching my classmates to pronounce my last name, Cai, using a part of their tongue that they didn’t know existed, the excitement of promoting our Math Finance culture awareness events in the Questrom GraduateCouncil, the satisfactionof knowing all the secret authentic restaurants around Boston and the astonishment of seeing the world and myself in a way that I could never have imaged before.我经历了不得不解释一个没有人理解的笑话的尴尬,对于别的文化提出问题但担心问题过于明显和愚蠢的紧张感,以及捍卫我自己的信念却只得到怀疑和厌恶时的愤怒。
幸运的是,这些不舒适的感受很快就被别的事情替代了:比如当我教会我的同学们发音我的姓氏“蔡”,他们使用到了自己以前都没注意到的小部分舌头的时候的快乐;当我向Questrom研究生学生会宣传我们金融数学项目的文化活动的时候的兴奋,当我知道波士顿周围所有最地道正宗的餐馆的时候的满足,以及当我以自己从未想象过的视角去看这个世界,和自己的时候的惊奇。
During the past 2 years of graduate school and 4 years of undergraduate before that, I have been so proud to see that our school grew fromSchool of Management to Questrom School of Business, and that our community is growing stronger and more vibrant each year, and this couldn’t have happened without the effort of everyone here to share, to inspire, and to embrace each other.在过去两年的研究生院和再之前四年的本科生活中,我很自豪地看到,我们的学院从管理学院成长为Questrom商学院,而且我们的学生群体每一年都越来越强大,愈发有活力。
而这样的进步,如果没有这里的每个人努力地去分享,激励和接纳彼此,是不可能发生的。
Let’s now think about the future. 20 years from now, what kind of challenges are we going to face, as family members, as business owners, as human beings? Nobody knows.To cope with that amount of uncertainty, we will need a diverse set of skills and knowledge, andmost important of all, an open mind to learn. That’s why we have been so lucky to be part of the Questrom community that cultivated such freedom of an open mind.现在我们来思考未来。
