But eventually, I returned for one big reason. Most people go to college for an education, and some go for their parents, but I went for my kids. I'm the father of seven, and I kept insisting on the importance of going to college, but I hadn't walked the walk. So, in my fifties, I re-enrolled at Cal State - Long Beach, and I earned my degree.

Thank you, thank you, President Faust, and Paul Choi, thank you so much.
非常感谢Faust校长、Paul Choi校长 谢谢你们。
It's an honor and a thrill to address this group of distinguished alumni and supportive friends and kvelling parents. We've all gathered to share in the joy of this day, so please join me in congratulating Harvard's Class of XX.
你接下来要做的事情，在我们这行叫做“定义角色的时刻”。这些是你非常熟悉的场景，例如在最近的一部《星球大战：原力觉醒》里女主角Rey发现自己拥有原力的一刻。或者在《夺宝奇兵》里印第安纳琼斯选择战胜恐惧跳过蛇堆，继续任务的时候。
Now in a two-hour movie, you get a handful of character-defining moments, but in real life, you face them every day. Life is one strong, long string of character-defining moments. And I was lucky that at 18 I knew what I exactly wanted to do. But I didn't know who I was. How could I? And how could any of us? Because for the first 25 years of our lives, we are trained to listen to voices that are not our own. Parents and professors fill our heads with wisdom and information, and then employers and mentors take their place and explain how this world really works.
非常荣幸能被邀请成为哈佛XX年毕业典礼的演讲嘉宾，在众位优秀的毕业生、热情的朋友和诸位家长前做演讲。今天让我们一起，祝贺XX届哈佛毕业生顺利毕业。
I can remember my own college graduation, which is easy, since it was only 14 years ago. How many of you took 37 years to graduate? Because, like most of you, I began college in my teens, but sophomore year, I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios, so I dropped out. I told my parents if my movie career didn't go well, I'd re-enroll.
我必须补充一点，我获得学位的一个原因是学校为我在《侏罗纪公园》里所做的，给我了考古学学分。《侏罗纪公园》换得了3个学分，非常感谢。
Well, I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and some of you know, too - but some of you don't. Or maybe you thought you knew but are now questioning that choice. Maybe you're sitting there trying to figure out how to tell your parents that you want to be a doctor and not a comedy writer.
我离开大学是因为我很清楚地知道我想要做什么。你们中的一些人也知道，但是有些人还没弄明白。或者你以为你知道，但是现在开始质疑这个决定。或者你坐在这里，试着想要怎么告诉你的父母，你想要成为一名医生，而不是喜剧编剧。
Well, what you choose to do next is what we call in the movies the 'character-defining moment.' Now, these are moments you're very familiar with, like in the last Star Wars: The Force Awakens, when Rey realizes the force is with her. Or Indiana Jones choosing mission over fear by jumping over a pile of snakes.
但是我最后还是回到了学校，主要为了一个原因。很多人为了获得教育去上大学，有的人为了父母上大学，而我是为了我的孩子去上的。我是7个孩子的爸爸，我总是不断强调上大学的重要性，可我自己都没上过。所以在我50多岁的时候，我重新进入加州州立大学长滩分校，获得了学位。
I just have to add: It helped that they gave me course credit in paleontology for the work I did on Jurassic Park. That's three units for Jurassic Park, thank you.
我记得我自己的大学毕业典礼，这不难，因为就是14年以前的事情。你们当中的多少人花了37年才毕业?因为就像你们中的多数人，我在十几岁时进入大学，但是大二的时候我从环球影城获得了我的梦想工作，所以我休学了。我跟我的父母说，如果我的电影事业不顺，我会重新上学的。
I电影事业发展得还行。
