thank you, president cowan, mrs. president cowen; distinguished guests, undistinguishedguests - you know who you are, honored faculty and creepy spanish teacher.
謝謝,謝謝考恩校長(zhǎng),和有頭有臉的來(lái)賓們,呃,有頭有臉的來(lái)賓,你知道你是誰(shuí),不用介紹了(眾人笑),誠(chéng)心感謝大家……以及討厭的西班牙語(yǔ)老師(眾人大笑)
and thank you to all the graduating class of 2024, i realize most of you are hungover and havesplitting headaches and haven"t slept since fat tuesday, but you can"t graduate "til i finish, solisten up.
感謝所有2024屆的畢業(yè)生,我知道你們絕大多數(shù)人還因?yàn)樗拮眍^痛欲裂,狂歡到今天都還沒(méi)睡,但是沒(méi)聽(tīng)完我的演講不能畢業(yè),所以都聽(tīng)好了!(學(xué)生們歡呼)
when i was asked to make the commencement speech, i immediately said yes. then i wentto look up what commencement meant. which would have been easy if i had a dictionary, butmost of the books in our house are portia"s, and they"re all written in australian. so i had tobreak the word down myself, to find out the meaning.
當(dāng)我被問(wèn)是否來(lái)參加畢業(yè)典禮演講的時(shí)候,我立刻就回答了:yes!……然后我才去查“畢業(yè)典禮”是什么意思(眾人笑)。如果我有字典的話(huà)就輕松多了,但我家的書(shū)大多是portia的(ellen的妻子,澳大利亞人)而且都是澳洲文(眾人笑),所以……我得自己摸索,去找出這個(gè)詞的意思。
commencement: common, and cement. common cement. you commonly see cement onsidewalks. sidewalks have cracks, and if you step on a crack, you break your mother"s back. sothere"s that. but i"m honored that you"ve asked me here to speak at your common cement.
“commencement畢業(yè)典禮”:commen常見(jiàn)的+cement水泥,常見(jiàn)的水泥(眾人大笑)你常常見(jiàn)到水泥,在人行道上,人行道有裂縫,你要是踩到裂縫,就會(huì)撞傷你媽媽的背(大家笑),所以大概意思就是這樣了(笑聲)
i thought that you had to be a famous alumnus - alumini - aluminum - alumis - you had tograduate from this school. and i didn"t go to college here, and i don"t know if president cowanknows, i didn"t go to any college at all. any college. and i"m not saying you wasted your time,or money, but look at me, i"m a huge celebrity.
但我很榮幸被邀請(qǐng)來(lái)做你們的“常見(jiàn)的水泥”的演講。我以為非得是又有名,又是你們學(xué)校的校友才能來(lái)……我沒(méi)有在這里念過(guò)大學(xué),我不知校長(zhǎng)先生是否知道,我完全沒(méi)上過(guò)大學(xué)…任何一間大學(xué)!我倒不是在說(shuō)你們?cè)诶速M(fèi)時(shí)間和金錢(qián),不過(guò)看看我,我是個(gè)超級(jí)成功的大名人唉!(大家爆笑)
although i did graduate from the school of hard knocks, our mascot was the knockers. i spent alot of time here growing up. my mom worked at (? 估計(jì)是某家商店的名字) and i would go thereevery time i needed to steal something out of her purse. but why am i here today? clearly notto steal, you"re too far away and i"d never get away with it.
事實(shí)上我在這里度過(guò)許多成長(zhǎng)的歲月,我媽媽在這里工作時(shí),我常來(lái)找她……每當(dāng)我要偷她錢(qián)包里的錢(qián)時(shí)(大家笑)。但我今天在這里的原因,顯然不是要偷你們的錢(qián)……
i"m here because of you. because i can"t think of a more tenacious, more courageousgraduating class. i mean, look at you all, wearing your robes. usually when you"re wearing arobe at 10 in the morning, it means you"ve given up. i"m here because i love new orleans. iwas born and raised here, i spent my formative years here, and like you, while i was living herei only did laundry si_ times.
我在這里是因?yàn)槟銈?,因?yàn)闆](méi)有比你們更優(yōu)秀更勇敢的畢業(yè)生了。看看你們每一個(gè)人,身穿你們的袍子(學(xué)士袍),通常我們說(shuō)在早上10點(diǎn)還穿著袍子(睡袍)代表你放棄人生了(大家大笑)。我在這里,因?yàn)槲覑?ài)紐奧良,我在這里出生成長(zhǎng),在此度過(guò)少年時(shí)光,正如你們一樣,當(dāng)我住這里時(shí),我只洗過(guò)6次衣服(眾人笑)。
when i finished school, i was completely lost. and by school, i mean middle school, but i wentahead and finished high school anyway. and i - i really, i had no ambition, i didn"t know whati wanted to do. i did everything from - i shucked oysters, i was a hostess, i was a bartender, iwas a waitress, i painted houses, i sold vaccuum cleaners, i had no idea. and i thought i"d justfinally settle in some job, and i would make enough money to pay my rent, maybe have basiccable, maybe not, i didn"t really have a plan, my point is that, by the time i was your age, ireally thought i knew who i was, but i had no idea. like for e_ample, when i was your age, iwas dating men. so what i"m saying is, when you"re older, most of you will be gay. anyonewriting this stuff down? parents?
當(dāng)我從學(xué)校畢業(yè)的時(shí)候,我完完全全迷失了自我,學(xué)校我指的是初中(大家笑),后來(lái)我也繼續(xù)念完了高中。我當(dāng)時(shí),沒(méi)有任何的野心,不知道自己想做什么。我什么工作都做,我挖生蠔,當(dāng)帶位員,做酒保,當(dāng)服務(wù)生,粉刷房子,賣(mài)吸塵器……完全不知道自己想做什么。我只想隨便找個(gè)糊口的工作,過(guò)一輩子,能有錢(qián)負(fù)得起房租就行,我完全沒(méi)有任何計(jì)劃。我想說(shuō)的是,當(dāng)我像你們這么大的時(shí)候,我真的以為我了解自己,但其實(shí)我并不了解,舉例來(lái)說(shuō),我像你們這么大的時(shí)候,還在和男人約會(huì)(大家大笑)。所以我的意思是:當(dāng)你們?cè)匍L(zhǎng)大些后,大多數(shù)的人,都會(huì)是gay!(場(chǎng)內(nèi)爆笑,ellen自己也笑了)
anyway, i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life, and the way i ended up on this pathwas from a very tragic event. i was maybe 19, and my girlfriend at the time was killed in a caraccident. and i passed the accident, and i didn"t know it was her and i kept going, and i foundout shortly after that, it was her. and i was living in a basement apartment, i had no money, ihad no heat, no air, i had a mattress on the floor and the apartment was infested with fleas.and i was soul-searching, i was like, why is she suddenly gone, and there are fleas here? i don"tunderstand, there must be a purpose, and wouldn"t it be so convenient if we could pick upthe phone and call god, and ask these questions.
總之,當(dāng)時(shí)我不知道我的人生要干嘛,而最后我找到了我人生目標(biāo),卻是因?yàn)橐患直瘧K的事。我那時(shí)可能才19歲,當(dāng)時(shí)的女朋友因?yàn)檐?chē)禍身亡了。我經(jīng)過(guò)了事故現(xiàn)場(chǎng),并不知道是她,還繼續(xù)往前走。不久后,才知道那是她。我當(dāng)時(shí)……住在地下室的公寓,沒(méi)有錢(qián),沒(méi)有暖氣,房子里都是跳蚤。我困惑不已,心想,為何她突然走了,而為何我又呆再這樣一個(gè)境地里。我無(wú)法理解,但其中一定有什么理由。要是能直接拿起電話(huà)打給上帝問(wèn)個(gè)清楚,不就太好了。
and i started writing and what poured out of me was an imaginary conversation with god,which was one-sided, and i finished writing it and i looked at it and i said to myself, and ihadn"t even been doing stand-up, ever, there was no club in town. i said, "i"m gonna do this onthe tonight show with johnny carson"- at the time he was the king - "and i"m gonna be thefirst woman in the history of the show to be called over to sit down." and several years later, iwas the first woman in the history of the show, and only woman in the history of the show to sitdown, because of that phone conversation with god that i wrote.
于是我開(kāi)始寫(xiě)一些東西,心里涌現(xiàn)出一段我和上帝的對(duì)話(huà),雖然只是我一個(gè)人的獨(dú)白。當(dāng)我完成了它后,我閱讀了這個(gè)劇本,對(duì)自己說(shuō),我說(shuō)我要在“今夜秀”上和強(qiáng)尼.卡森一起表演這一段。強(qiáng)尼.卡森是當(dāng)時(shí)主持屆的天王,我對(duì)自己說(shuō)我要成為該節(jié)目史上第一個(gè)被邀請(qǐng)和強(qiáng)尼一起坐下來(lái)訪(fǎng)問(wèn)的女性。數(shù)年之后,我成為這個(gè)節(jié)目史上,第一位也是唯一一位,被邀請(qǐng)坐下來(lái)和他訪(fǎng)問(wèn)的女性。就因?yàn)槟嵌挝覍?xiě)的和上帝打電話(huà)的劇本。
and i started this path of stand-up and it was successful and it was great, but it was hard,because i was trying to please everybody and i had this secret that i was keeping, that i wasgay. and i thought if people found out they wouldn"t like me, they wouldn"t laugh at me.
從此我開(kāi)始做單人脫口秀,做得很成功,也很辛苦,因?yàn)槲蚁胗懞妹恳粋€(gè)人,同時(shí)又守著我身為同性戀的秘密。我想人們要是發(fā)現(xiàn)了,就不會(huì)喜歡我了。
then my career turned into - i got my own sitcom, and that was very successful, another levelof success. and i thought, what if they find out i"m gay, then they"ll never watch, and this wasa long time ago, this was when we just had white presidents - this was back, many years ago -and i finally decided that i was living with so much shame, and so much fear, that i justcouldn"t live that way anymore, and i decided to come out and make it creative. and mycharacter would come out at the same time, and it wasn"t to make a political statement, itwasn"t to do anything other than to free myself up from this heaviness that i was carryingaround, and i just wanted to be honest. and i thought, "what"s the worst that could happen? ican lose my career". i did. i lost my career. the show was cancelled after si_ years, withouteven telling me, i read it in the paper. the phone didn"t ring for three years. i had no offers.nobody wanted to touch me at all.
后來(lái)我又有了自己的喜劇,也很成功,更進(jìn)一步的成功。我于是更擔(dān)心,要是別人發(fā)現(xiàn)了怎么辦,是不是就不會(huì)看我的節(jié)目了?這都是很久以前的事了,你們可能不知道,那都是我們的總統(tǒng)還都是白人時(shí)候的事了(大家大笑)。最終我還是決定……我一直帶著羞恥和恐懼而活,我再也不能像那樣活下去了,于是我決定讓劇中的主角和我自己同時(shí)出柜。不是為了什么政治原因或是其他,只是為了讓我從一個(gè)背負(fù)已久的沉重枷鎖中釋放出來(lái),我只是想要……誠(chéng)實(shí)!我想不會(huì)有更慘的事發(fā)生了,難道會(huì)失去我的演藝事業(yè)嗎?結(jié)果,我真的失去了。我的節(jié)目在做了6年后,沒(méi)有告知我就停播了,我讀了報(bào)紙才知道。家中的電話(huà)三年沒(méi)有再響過(guò),沒(méi)人愿意找我做節(jié)目,沒(méi)人愿意碰我。
yet, i was getting letters from kids that almost committed suicide, but didn"t, because of whati did. and i realised that i had a purpose. and it wasn"t just about me and it wasn"t aboutcelebrity, but i felt like i was being punished... it was a bad time, i was angry, i was sad, andthen i was offered a talkshow. and the people that offered me the talkshow tried to sell it. andmost stations didn"t want to pick it up. most people didn"t want to buy it because they thoughtnobody would watch me.
然而我收到了想要自殺的同性戀孩子的來(lái)信,他們因?yàn)槲业某龉穸罱K沒(méi)有自殺,我才了解到,我在這個(gè)世上是有目的的。那曾是一段痛苦的日子,我很憤世嫉俗,很難過(guò)。后來(lái)有人找我做脫口秀(今天的ellenshow),制作公司想要賣(mài)出節(jié)目,但是大多數(shù)電視臺(tái)都不愿意買(mǎi)。
really when i look back on it, i wouldn"t change a thing. i mean, it was so important for me tolose everything because i found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself.ultimately, that"s what"s gotten me to this place. i don"t live in fear, i"m free, i have no secrets.and i know i"ll always be ok, because no matter what, i know who i am.
當(dāng)我回想起這些往事的時(shí)候,我一點(diǎn)也不想去改變什么,即使失去一切。因?yàn)槲乙庾R(shí)到,最重要的事是,對(duì)自己誠(chéng)實(shí)。我的選擇令我在今天能活得自在,沒(méi)有恐懼和秘密。我知道一切都是ok的,因?yàn)闊o(wú)論如何,我知道自己是誰(shuí)。
so in conclusion, when i was younger i thought success was something different. i thoughtwhen i grow up, i want to be famous. i want to be a star. i want to be in movies. when i growup i want to see the world, drive nice cars, i want to have groupies. to quote the pussycatdolls. how many people thought it was "boobies", by the way? it"s not, it"s "groupies".
因此,這是不是結(jié)論的結(jié)論,當(dāng)我年輕時(shí),對(duì)成功的定義不同,我想我的志愿是:我想出名,想當(dāng)明星,拍電影,我想要去看世界,開(kāi)名車(chē),有一群死黨……(ellen這段說(shuō)的很溜,大家反應(yīng)過(guò)來(lái)其實(shí)這是小野貓的一首歌的歌詞,于是大笑)
but my idea of success is different today. and as you grow, you"ll realise the definition ofsuccess changes. for many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila.for me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to giveinto peer pressure. to try to be something that you"re not. to live your life as an honest andcompassionate person. to contribute in some way.
但今日我對(duì)成功的定義變了,當(dāng)你長(zhǎng)大,你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這點(diǎn)。對(duì)你們中的很多人來(lái)說(shuō),成功的定義是能灌下20杯龍舌蘭酒(大家笑)。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),生命中最重要的事是:活得誠(chéng)實(shí)!別逼自己去做不是真正的你,要活得正直,有憐憫之心,在某些方面有所貢獻(xiàn)。
so to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. never followanyone else"s path, unless you"re in the woods and you"re lost and you see a path, and by allmeans you should follow that. don"t give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. don"ttake anyone"s advice. so my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.
因此,這是結(jié)論的結(jié)論(眾人笑):追隨熱情,忠于自我,絕不要追隨別人的腳步,除非你在森林里迷路了才要這么做(大家笑)。別給人忠告,別接受任何人的忠告。所以…我要給大家的忠告是(大家大笑):做真實(shí)的你,一切都會(huì)沒(méi)事的。
and i know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there"s no need to worry.the economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine. it"s gonna begreat. you"ve already survived a hurricane. what else can happen to you? and as i mentionedbefore, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. andnow you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. like, "is it above sealevel?" .
我知道在座很多人都在擔(dān)心自己的前途,但不用擔(dān)心,經(jīng)濟(jì)正急速增長(zhǎng),就業(yè)市場(chǎng)求才若渴(大家大笑),地球也好的很!(大家笑)一切都會(huì)好的,你們都經(jīng)歷過(guò)風(fēng)災(zāi)了,還有什么可怕的?如我以前所說(shuō)的:最慘痛的事教會(huì)你最多。比如現(xiàn)在你第一次面試,就知道該問(wèn)考官什么了,例如“公司高于海平面嗎?”(大家大笑,紐奧良因地勢(shì)低被淹水)
so to conclude my conclusion that i"ve previously concluded, in the common cementspeech, i guess what i"m trying to say is life is like one big mardi gras. but instead of showingyour boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you"ll have more beads thanyou know what to do with. and you"ll be drunk, most of the time. so the katrina class of 2024,i say congratulations and if you don"t remember a thing i said today, remember this: you"regonna be ok, dum de dum dum dum, just dance.
因此……總結(jié)一下我剛才做的我的“常見(jiàn)的水泥”演講的結(jié)論(大家笑),我猜我想說(shuō)的是,人生猶如一場(chǎng)狂歡嘉年華,記得展現(xiàn)你的頭腦,而不是胸部。……2024年的畢業(yè)生們,我說(shuō)祝賀大家了!若你不記得我今天說(shuō)的任何話(huà),就請(qǐng)記住這一句:you’re going to be ok,dun-doom-doom-doom(大家愣),just dance!(所有人大笑歡呼)

閱讀小貼士:模板3共計(jì)7301個(gè)字,預(yù)計(jì)閱讀時(shí)長(zhǎng)19分鐘。朗讀需要37分鐘,中速朗讀49分鐘,在莊重嚴(yán)肅場(chǎng)合朗讀需要67分鐘,有157位用戶(hù)喜歡。
thank you. (applause.) thank you very much. thank you, thank you, thank you. i think winston churchill said the only reason people give a standing ovation is they desperately seek an e_cuse to shift their underwear. (laughter.) so certainly before i’ve opened my mouth, that’s true. (laughter.)
anyway, president salovey and faculty members, parents, siblings who came here under thefalse impression there would be free food (laughter); handsome dan, wherever you are,probably at some fire hydrant somewhere (laughter); members of the 2024 ncaa championmen’s ice hockey team (cheers and applause); distinguished guests and graduates,graduates of the class of 2024, i really am privileged to be able to be here and share thecelebration of this day with you, especially 48 years after standing up right here as a veryintimidated senior wondering what i was going to say.
you are graduating today as the most diverse class in yale’s long history. or as they call it inthe nba, donald sterling’s worst nightmare. (laughter and applause.)
nia and josh: thank you for such a generous introduction. what josh didn’t mention is that heinterned for me at the state department last summer. (cheers and applause.) well, hold on aminute now. (laughter.) i learned that he’s not afraid to talk truth to power, or semi-truth. (laughter.) on his last day he walked up to me at the state department and he was brutallyhonest. he said, "mr. secretary, je sucks." (laughter and cheers.)
no, actually, on the last day at the state department, he asked if i would come here today anddeliver a message his classmates really needed to hear. so here it goes: jarred phillips, you stillowe josh money from that road trip last fall. (laughter and applause.)
i have to tell you, it is really fun for me to be back here on the old campus. i’m accompaniedby a classmate of mine. we were on the soccer team together. we had a lot of fun. he served asambassador to italy recently, david thorne. and my daughter vanessa graduated in the classof 1999, so i know what a proud moment this is for your parents. but my friends, the test willbe if they still feel this way ne_t may if you live at home. (laughter.)
now, i’m really happy you made it back from myrtle beach. (cheers and applause.) as if youhadn’t already logged enough keg time at "woads". (cheers.) just remember, just remember: 4.0 is a really good gpa, but it’s a lousy blood-alcohol level. (laughter.)
i love the hats. we didn’t have the hats when i was here. i love the hats. they are outrageous.they’re spectacular. this may well be the only event that pharrell could crash and gounnoticed. (laughter and applause.)
i’ve been looking around. i’ve seen a couple of red so_, a few red so_ hats out there. (cheers.)i’ve also seen a few of those dreaded interlocking n’s and y’s. (cheers.) but that’s okay: i saiddiversity is important. (laughter.) it’s also an easy way for me to tell who roots for theyankees and who’s graduating with distinction. (laughter and cheers.)
so here’s the deal, here’s the deal: i went online and i learned in the yale daily comments thati wasn’t everyone’s first choice to be up here. (laughter.)
when yale announced that i’d be speaking, someone actually wrote, "i hope they give outfive-hour energy to help everyone stay awake." (laughter.) well don’t worry folks: i promisenot to be one minute over four hours. (laughter.)
someone else wrote i haven’t "screwed up badly as secretary of state ... yet." (laughter.)well, all i can say is, stay tuned. (laughter.)
but my favorite comment was this: "i’m really proud that a yalie is secretary of state." ishould have stopped reading right there because he or she went on to write, "but he is buttugly." (laughter.) so there go my dreams of being on "yale’s 50 most beautiful" list. (cheersand applause.)
it really is a privilege for me to share this celebration with you, though i’m forewarned that noone remembers who delivers their graduation speech. all i really remember about our speakerin 1966 is that he was eloquent, insightful, really good looking. (laughter.) anyway, onething i promise you, one thing i promise you: i will stay away from the tired cliches ofcommencement, things like "be yourself," "do what makes you happy," "don’t use the laundryroom in saybrook". (cheers and applause.) that’s about all i’ll say about that. (laughter.)
so right after we graduated, time magazine came out with its famous "man of the year" issue.but for 1966, timedidn’t pick one man or one woman. they picked our entire generation.
and time e_pressed a lot of high hopes for us. it not only predicted that we’d cure thecommon cold, but that we’d cure cancer, too. it predicted that we’d build smog-free cities andthat we’d end poverty and war once and for all. i know what you’re thinking – we reallycrushed it. (laughter.)
so fair question: did my generation get lost? well, that’s actually a conversation for anothertime. but let me put one theory to rest: it’s not true that everyone in my generatione_perimented with drugs. although between floma_, lipitor and viagra, now we do. (laughterand applause.)
now, i did have some pretty creative classmates back then. one of my good friends, very closefriends in je – (cheers) – i’m going to set it right for you guys right now. (laughter.) one of mygood friends in je had at least two hair-brained ideas. the first was a little start-up built on thenotion that if people had a choice, they’d pay a little more to mail a package and have it arrivethe very ne_t day. crazy, right? today that start-up is called fede_. and by the way, it wascreated in je, which therefore means je rules. (cheers and applause.)
now, his other nutty idea was to restart something called the yale flying club. and admittedly,this was more of a scheme to get us out of class and off the campus. so i basically spent mysenior year majoring in flying, practicing take-offs and landings out at tweed airport.responsible? no. but i wouldn’t have missed it.
and one of the best lessons i learned here is that mark twain was absolutely right: never letschool get in the way of an education.
now, i didn’t know it at the time, but yale also taught me to finish what you start. and that’sone thing that clearly separates us from harvard. (laughter.) after all, a lot of those guys don’teven graduate. bill gates, mark zuckerberg, matt damon – what the hell have they everamounted to? (laughter.)
for all i ever learned at yale, i have to tell you truthfully the best piece of advice i ever got wasactually one word from my 89-year-old mother. i’ll never forget sitting by her bedside andtelling her i had decided to run for president. and she squeezed my hand and she said: "integrity, john. integrity. just remember always, integrity." and maybe that tells you a lotabout what she thought about politics.
but you should know: in a complicated world full of complicated decisions and close calls thatcould go either way, what keeps you awake at night isn’t so much whether or not you got thedecision right or wrong. it’s whether you made your decision for the right reasons: integrity.
and the single best piece of advice i ever received about diplomacy didn’t come from myinternational relations class, but it came from my father, who served in the foreign service. hetold me that diplomacy was really about being able to see the world through the eyes ofsomeone else, to understand their aspirations and assumptions.
and perhaps that’s just another word for empathy. but whatever it is, i will tell you sittinghere on one of the most gorgeous afternoons in new haven as you graduate: listening makes adifference, not just in foreign ministries but on the streets and in the souks and on the socialmedia network the world over.
so class of 2024, as corny as it may sound, remember that your parents aren’t just here todayas spectators. they’re also here as teachers – and even if counter-intuitive, it’s not a badidea to stay enrolled in their course as long as you can.
now for my part, i am grateful to yale because i did learn a lot here in all of the ways that agreat university can teach. but there is one phrase from one class above all that for somereason was indelibly stamped into my consciousness. perhaps it’s because i spent almost 30years in the united states senate seeing it applied again and again.
one morning in the law school auditorium, my professor, john morton blum, said simply: "allpolitics is a reaction to felt needs." what i thought he meant is that things only get done inpublic life when the people who want something demand nothing less and the people who makeit happen decide tht they can do nothing less.
those "felt needs" have driven every movement and decision that i’ve witnessed in politicssince – from south africa a couple of decades ago to the arab spring a few years ago to ourown communities, where same-se_ couples refuse to be told by their government who they canlove.
in 1963, i remember walking out of dwight hall one evening after an activist named allardlowenstein gave the impassioned and eloquent plea that i had ever heard. he compelled usto feel the need to engage in the struggle for civil rights right here in our own country.
and that’s why, just steps from here, right over there on high street, we lined up buses thatdrove students from yale and elsewhere south to be part of the mississippi voter registrationdrive and help break the back of jim crow. ultimately we forced washington to ensure throughthe law that our values were not mere words. we saw congress respond to this "felt need" andpass the civil rights act and the voting rights act, and life in america did change.
not only did landmark civil rights advances grow out of the sit-ins and marches, but we sawthe epa and the clean water act and the clean air act and the safe drinking water act and allof it come out of earth day in 1970. we saw women refusing to take a back-seat, forceinstitutions to respond, producing title i_ and a yale university that quickly transformedfrom a male bastion of 1966. citizens, including veterans of the war, spoke up and brought ourtroops home from vietnam.
the fact is that what leaps out at me now is the contrast between those heady days and today.right or wrong, and like it or not – and certainly some people certainly didn’t like it – back theninstitutions were hard pressed to avoid addressing the felt needs of our country.
indeed, none of what i’ve talked about happened overnight. the pace of change was differentfrom today. the same fall that my class walked in as freshmen, nelson mandela walked intoprison. it wasn’t until 30 years later, when my daughter walked through these gates for thefirst time, that mandela was his country’s president.
when i was a senior, the debate over the growing war in vietnam was becoming allconsuming. but it took another seven years before combat ended for our country, and morethan 25,000 lives. and it wasn’t until the year 2024 that we finally made peace and normalizedrelations. now, amazingly, we have more vietnamese studying in america – including some inyour class – than from almost any other country in the world.
what’s notable is this daring journey of progress played out over years, decades, and evengenerations. but today, the felt needs are growing at a faster pace than ever before, piling upon top of each other, while the response in legislatures or foreign capitals seems none_istentor frozen.
it’s not that the needs aren’t felt. it’s that people around the world seem to have grown used toseeing systems or institutions failing to respond. and the result is an obvious deepeningfrustration if not e_asperation with institutional governance.
the problem is today’s institutions are simply not keeping up or even catching up to the feltneeds of our time. right before our eyes, difficult decisions are deferred or avoided altogether.some people even give up before they try because they just don’t believe that they can make adifference. and the sum total of all of this inaction is stealing the future from all of us.
just a few e_amples, from little to big: a train between washington and new york that can go150 miles-per-hour – but, lacking modern infrastructure, goes that fast for only 18 miles of thetrip; an outdated american energy grid which can’t sell energy from one end of the country tothe other; climate change growing more urgent by the day, with 97 percent of scientists tellingus for years of the imperative to act. the solution is staring us in the face: make energypolicy choices that will allow america to lead a $6 trillion market. yet still we remain gridlocked;immigration reform urgently needed to unleash the power – the full power of millions who livehere and make our laws in doing so both sensible and fair.
and on the world stage, you will not escape it – even more urgency. we see huge, growingpopulations of young people in places that offer little education, little economic or politicalopportunity. in countries from north africa to east asia, you are older than half theirpopulation. forty percent of their population is younger than yale’s ne_t incoming class.
if we can’t galvanize action to recognize their felt needs – if we don’t do more to coordinatean attack on e_treme poverty, provide education, opportunity, and jobs, we inviteinstability. and i promise you, radical e_tremism is all too ready to fill the vacuum leftbehind.
what should be clear to everyone – and it’s perhaps what makes our current predicament,frankly, so frustrating – is that none of our problems are without solutions. none of them. butneither will they solve themselves. so for all of us, it’s really a question of willpower, notcapacity. it’s a matter of refusing to fall prey to the cynicism and apathy that have alwaysbeen the mortal enemies of progress. and it requires keeping faith with the ability ofinstitutions – of america – to do big things when the moment demands it. remember whatnelson mandela said when confronted by pessimism in the long march to freedom: "it alwaysseems impossible until it is done."
one thing i know for sure – these and other felt needs will never be addressed if you, we fallvictim to the slow suffocation of conventional wisdom.
on tuesday i sat in the state department with some young foreign service officers at thestate department, and one of them said something to me that i’ve been thinking about,frankly, all week. he wasn’t much older than any of you. he said: "we’ve gone from an erawhere power lived in hierarchies to an era where power lives in networks – and now we’rewrestling with the fact that those hierarchies are unsettled by the new power."
every one of you and your parents have mobile devices here today. they represent a lot morethan your ability to put a picture on fbook or ins. they are one of the powerful newinstruments of change that makes hierarchies uncomfortable because you can communicatewith everybody, anywhere, all the time – and that’s how you beat conventional wisdom.
that’s what makes me certain that felt needs are not just problems. they are opportunities.and i am convinced if you are willing to challenge the conventional wisdom, which youshould be after this education, you can avoid the dangerous byproducts of indifference,hopelessness, and my least favorite: cynicism.
it is indifference that says our problems are so great, let’s not even try. we have to rejectthat. it’s hopelessness that says that our best days are behind us. i couldn’t disagree more.
it’s cynicism that says we’re powerless to effect real change, and that the era of americanleadership is over. i don’t believe that for a second, and neither does president obama. werefuse to limit our vision of the possibilities for our country, and so should you. together wehave to all refuse to accept the downsizing of america’s role in a very complicated world.
i happen to love t.s. eliot’s "love song of j. alfred prufrock," one of my favorite poems. and irespectfully challenge you to never wind up fretfully musing as prufrock did: "do i daredisturb the universe? in a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute willreverse." class of 2024: your job is to disturb the universe.
you have to reject the notion that the problems are too big and too complicated so don’t wadein. you don’t have the lu_ury of just checking out. and it doesn’t matter what profession youwind up in, what community you live in, where you are, what you’re doing, you do not havethat lu_ury.
one of the greatest rewards of being secretary of state is getting to see with my own eyes howmuch good news there actually is in the world – how many good people there are out thereevery single day courageously fighting back. the truth is that everywhere i go i see or hearabout an e_traordinary number of individual acts of courage and bravery, all of which defythe odds – all by people who simply refuse to give up, and who start with a lot lessopportunity than you do.
you can see this in the lonely human rights activist who struggles against tyranny and againsta dictator until they are defeated. you see it in the democracy activist who goes to jail tryingto ensure an election is free and transparent. you see it in the civil rights lawyer who suffersscorn and isolation for standing against bigotry, racism, and intolerance.
i am literally in awe of the courage that ordinary, anonymous people demonstrate in themost difficult circumstances imaginable – in a dank african jail, a north korean gulag, aprison in syria or central asia, facing the cruelest persecution and lonely isolation.
many of these people just quietly disappear. they lose their lives. they never become aninternational cause or a global hero. courage is not a strong enough word for what they doevery day, and all of us need to think about that.
what all these people have in common – and what i hope they have in common with you – isthat they refuse to be complacent and indifferent to what is going on around them or towhat should be going on around them.
and that’s the most important lesson i hope you will take with you when you leave yale. thefact is that for those of you who have loans are not the only burden you graduate with today.you have had the privilege of a yale education. no matter where you come from, no matterwhere you’re going ne_t, the four years that you’ve spent here are an introduction toresponsibility. and your education requires something more of you than serving yourself. it callson you to give back, in whatever way you can. it requires you to serve the world around youand, yes, to make a difference. that is what has always set america apart: our generosity, ourhumanity, our idealism.
last year i walked through the devastation of the typhoon that hit the philippines. the u.s.military and usaid and regular volunteers got there before countries that lived a lot closer. wewent there without being asked and without asking for anything in return. and today americansare helping to bring that community back to life.
in nigeria, when boko haram kidnapped hundreds of girls, the government didn’t turn to otherpowerful countries for help – and by the way, they’re not offering.
as josh and nia mentioned, it was my privilege to stand here 48 years ago at class day.before coming here, i did re-read that speech. a lot of it was about vietnam, but one linejumped out at me. in 1966 i suggested, "an e_cess of isolation had led to an e_cess ofinterventionism." today we hear a different tune from some in congress and even on somecampuses and we face the opposite concern. we cannot allow a hangover from the e_cessiveinterventionism of the last decade to lead now to an e_cess of isolationism in this decade.
i can tell you for certain, most of the rest of the world doesn’t lie awake at night worryingabout america’s presence – they worry about what would happen in our absence.
without arrogance, without chauvinism, never forget that what makes america different fromother nations is not a common bloodline or a common religion or a common ideology or acommon heritage – what makes us different is that we are united by an uncommon idea: thatwe’re all created equal and all endowed with unalienable rights. america is not just a countrylike other countries. america is an idea and we – all of us, you – get to fill it out over time.
tomorrow, when president salovey grants you those diplomas, listen to what he says. he won’tsay what is said at most schools – that your degree admits you to all its "rights and privileges."at yale, we say your degree admits you to all its "rights and responsibilities." it means we needto renew that responsibility over and over again every day. it’s not a one-time decision.participation is the best antidote to pessimism and ultimately cynicism.
so i ask you today on a celebratory afternoon as you think about the future: remember whathappened when the founding fathers had finished their hard work at the constitutionalconvention in philadelphia and ben franklin, tired, end of day, walked down at night, down thesteps of the hall. a woman called to him. she said, "tell us dr. franklin: what do we have, amonarchy or a republic?" and he answered: "a republic, if you can keep it."
class of 2024: we know what you have – a world-class education – if you will use it.
congratulations to you, good luck, and god bless. (cheers and applause.)

good morning, dear faculty members, distinguished guests, families, friends and most importantly, today’s graduates. thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you here on behalf of the graduates. this is a memorable day both in our personal lives and in the life of this school.
four years ago, we entered sanjing university. some of us may have doubted that if we had made the right decision, but now, because of the friends we made , because of the sadness and happiness we shared, because of the teachers who gave us guidance, because of all the time in sanjiang we spent and all activities we participated in, we could not tear ourselves away from the dear campus. it’s difficult to contemplate that perhaps some of us may never see each other again. but we have so rich memeries and e_periences that we will never foget each other.
today we enter the real world to face the challenge .with the knowledge and friends we gained from our university, with the endurance, perseverance, industry we possess, every obstacle that we may encounter in our lives will be overcome. i believe that everyone will make every effort to strive for our life. and remember, an ideal job is not found lying in the street; it takes time and effort to find. but in the end, it will be there for you. so don’t settle for second best and keep looking.
importantly, we are here today to give our thanks to the unconditional support of each of you, your words of encouragement in good times and your words of consolation in difficult moments. we thank you for your enormous patience with us, for always giving a little more than we asked for and for instilling in us the values and principles that govern our lives now and helping us to become the people we are. the degree that we will receive today also belongs to you.
last, i would like to congratulate each of you for having reached this goal. we did it, and now we are ready to graduate!

thank you to acting presidentchenette, my dearest friend and the person who invited megerry laybourne, theboard, the faculty at vassar, all of the proud parents that are here,ouralumnae and our alumni, and all the distinguished guests. and to the vassarclass of 2024 – many congratulations.
vassar truly stands as a beaconof hope and opportunity that continues to inspire all of us.you have shown astrong sense of justice, community, and bold activism. although i knowthere is always more work tobe done, you have shattered many glass ceilings here...womenhave always beenin leadership …you are advancing lgbt equality and acceptance, and you dohavea campus that’s diverse in more ways than ever before!
the education that you receivehere at vassar is a precious opportunity, one that tens ofmillions of youngpeople across the world are denied every single day due to poverty,violence,prejudice and injustice.
but i know that someday we canactually change that – with students like you leading theway. students who stood up to the bigotry of thewestboro baptist church. you did not standquietly by. you created a nationalconversation. you raised over $100,000, and you made yourvoice heard, inspiredaction in others, and produced real results.
my hope for this class is thatthis determined courage, this spirit of activism, this fierceopposition tohate will be the rule, not the e_ception.
so i’ve come here to ask youtoday, each and every one of you, just one question: how areyou going to takethe lessons that you’ve learned here at vassar, and carry on this legacyofmaking a real difference?
i hope that each one of you findsthe opportunity to do public service, and truly have animpact on the lives ofso many others.
so i want to tell you all alittle bit about my own journey to public service. i was very luckybecause igrew up in a family that had a very strong role model. the role model wasmygrandmother. she started her career as a young woman…she never went tocollege…sheworked as a secretary in our state legislature in albany.
she had this very bold idea thatwomen’s voices should be heard. there were very fewwomen in elective office 75years ago. she wanted to have a say, and she wanted to have animpact.
and she knew somethinginstinctively that all of us know now, that to speak in one voice isveryimportant, but to speak along with many voices is far more powerful. she she asked all thewomen in thelegislature and all the women she knew in upstate new york to get involvedinpolitics.
together they created anorganization of activism, where these women ran campaigns forabout fiftyyears. they did all the door to door work, all the envelope stuffing, all thekinds ofthings it takes to win modern day campaigns. and that is why they were able to have avoice.they were able to elect peoplewho shared their values, who shared their concerns, and wantedto have the sameimpact on their community that they did.
so what that taught me as a younggirl watching her is that not only do women’s voicesmatter, but what you dowith your time matters. grassrootsactivism matters. fighting to make adifference matters.
after i went to college and lawschool, i saw myself working in new york city in a big lawfirm, and i watchedour first lady, then hilary rodham clinton, go to china.
now if you remember, she went tochina in 1995, and she gave her historic speech onwomen’s rights. she said,“let it be known that human rights are women’s rights and women’srights arehuman rights once and for all.
now i was incredibly inspired byher at that moment because i’d been to beijing, i hadstudied there, i hadlearned mandarin, and i knew howpowerful it was for her as the first ladyto be giving that speech at that timein that place to that audience. they were still killing girlbabies in thecountryside and i know that she was making a dramatic impact on the worldatthat moment.
and i thought to myself, what ami doing with my life and am i making a difference? and ithought if i was goingto ever be with her at that conference in beijing with her, i would havehad tobe involved in politics. and that’s what spurred me to get off the sidelinesand focus onmaking a difference. and that’s when i engaged in politics.
so of course i followed in mygrandmother’s footsteps. i started working on campaigns. istarted organizingother women and doing the tough work it takes to elect candidates. and themore i got involved, the more irealized that i really love grassroots activism, and i decided iwanted toleave the law and do some form of public service.
i tried all sorts of ways to getthere, and my way wasn’t clear. first i tried the u.s.attorney’s office. i didnot get the job. then i tried a bunch of charities in new york. i didn’tevenget an interview.
the hillary clinton decides torun for senate, and i say, “this is my chance! i will get a jobon her campaign.”i couldn’t get a paid position, so i couldn’t afford it.
so i went to a large event, andour then-secretary of housing and urban development, ournow-governor andrewcuomo, was giving a speech, a speech not unlike this about public service.and i went up to him afterwards and i said,“well, mr. secretary, i’ve been trying to get intopublic service, and it’s notas easy as you say.”
andrew being andrew, our greatgovernor says, “well, would you move to washington?” andof course, determined,i said, “yes, i will move to washington.” truth be told, i had no interestin ever moving to washington. but, i did in fact take that opportunity, andi wound up goingto washington and serving as his special counsel.
now, never in my life have igotten out of bed as quickly as i did over those few months,because i lovedhelping others. and when theadministration lost the ne_t election, there wereno more jobs inwashington. and so i thought long andhard. and i said, “could i run foroffice?could i actually serve?” and over t
why shouldn’t i serve? why shouldn’t i make that jump? so i talked to a friend of minewho is apollster. his name is jeffrey. he’s still my pollster. and i go to him and i say, “jeffrey,couldyou just look up this district for me? i’m thinking of running in upstate new york wherei’m from.” and he looks it up, and he says, “hmmm. that is a two-to-one republicandistrict.you have no chance ofwinning.”
and i thought, really? no chance? “what happens if i run the perfect campaign? can’t iwin then?” he said, “no.” he said that there are more cows thandemocrats in that district. isaid,“well, what happens if i raise two million dollars and really get my messageout?” he said, “no, kirsten, i’msorry. you just can’t win.”
i said, “well, what happens ifthis guy gets indicted? he’s a troublemaker. i could surelywin then.” and he said, “well, it depends what he getsindicted for.”
well, the story goes, i did winthat election. and it was something thatno one thought waspossible. in fact,even the new york times called me a “dragon slayer” because it was such atoughdistrict to win.
so that taught me a few things.it taught me to always challenge conventional thinking.it taught me to think and dream big andcertainly never give up. and the truthis, there’snothing too big for any one of you here to achieve. you just haveto believe in that dream, evenif no one else but your mother believes in itwith you. because you can go as far asyour visionwill take you and as far as your hard work will take you.
so now you’ve heard the beginningof my story. i am far more interested in your story. i’dlike to know what yourpath will be? what will you accomplish in your life? what will you setout tochange?
i challenge you to refuse toaccept that things can’t change simply because others tell youso. i hear thate_cuse every day in washington, and it makes me even more determined to findaway.
i am incredibly humbled to servein a senate seat once occupied by giants in our americanhistory: my mentor,friend and trailblazer hillary rodham clinton, and the brilliantscholar-turned-politician daniel patrick moynihan. and, the iconic civil rightshero, robert f. kennedy.
rfk once quoted george bernardshaw and said, “there are those that look at things theway they are, and askwhy? i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?”
i love those words, and i thinkthey apply so much to all of us here today. there are thosewho look at all ofyou as generation y. i look at you and see generation y-not.
your generation is poised, likenone other in history, to challenge every single notion ofequality, justiceand opportunity for all.
you have a history of saying “whynot!” here at vassar. in 1861, the civilwar was about tocommence when matthew vassar asserted “why not create awomen’s institution for learningequal to men’s” -- a thought that seemedabsolutely revolutionary, even dangerous to some, adream that was fullyrealized here.
by 1969, vassar college, in asign of its strength, made the decision to become acoeducational institution,rejecting an invitation to move to new haven and join forces withyale,declaring: “why not become a coeducational institution where strong women’svoices areheard and men who are comfortable with strong women’s voices areheard equal to them.”
men like bill plapinger, yourboard chair from the class of 1974 sitting right here, thelegendary class of1974 that led you to this important ne_t stage. and bill seems to havesurvivedthe e_periment more or less.
so because of such groundbreakingleadership, we have actually achieved educational parityin this country. morethan half of our college graduates and our advanced degrees are given towomen.but the question is, how far have we come in reaching our goal of economic orpoliticalparity for women.
looking from my commencement in1988 to now, there were only two women in thesenate when i graduated. todaythere are 20. there are only 18 percentwomen in the house ofrepresentatives.
when i graduated from college,there were three women ceos in fortune 500 companies.today there are 20--only4 percent.
frankly, these numbers pathetic.so what are we missing? is it leadership? vision? a call toaction?
this has prompted none other thanwarren buffet to recently call on both men and womento address the imbalances– saying there is not just an ethical argument, but a verypragmatic one:everyone will benefit when we fully tap into the underutilized talents ofhalfour population.
and it’s true. when women serveon corporate boards, the return on investment and returnon equity are higher
ime, i said, “why not?”
when there’s at least one womanon a corporate board, that company is 40 percent lesslikely to have to restatetheir earnings. i wonder why?
when women are at the table inwashington, there are a whole set of issues that are raisedand very differentsolutions that are offered. there’soften much more common ground foundand more consensus built, and it’s notsurprising that it took a woman as the chair of thepersonnel subcommittee onthe armed services committee to hold the first hearing in tenyears on se_ualassault in the military.
clearly, women’s equality is notjust about women. lgbt equality is not just about our lgbtcommunity. povertydoes not only impact the poor. immigration reform is not just an issueforimmigrants.
when you approach the world withan eye towards justice, equality, and opportunity ascore, common values,suddenly we start to look at something that is better for thegreaterwhole. the whole becomes larger than thesum of its parts, and we become a strongernation for it.
fighting for women’s equality notonly challenges the status quo but compels thefundamental question, “why notseek justice for all and opportunity for everyone?”
in the u.s. today, nearly 50million americans are living below the poverty line, includingone-in-fiveamerican children, and more than a quarter of black and hispaniccommunities. athird of householdsheaded by single women are below the poverty line. it’s unbelievable andunacceptable that thisis the world we’re in today.
even as women are out-earning menin college degrees and advanced degrees, and are agrowing share of primary householdearners – men still out-earn women in salary.
the key to a growing economy… thekey to a thriving middle class… the key to an americawhere every family has achance at the american dream… is unleashing the potential of all ofus,including women.
that’s why i’m fighting so hardin the senate. in honor of today and in honor of thisgeneration, we arecalling it our why not agenda – it will equip anyone with an americandreamwith the tools to reach it and guarantees that opportunity for all.
why not increase the minimumwage?
why not e_pand paid familymedical leave?
why not provide universal pre-k?
why not make quality affordabledaycare accessible?
why not equal pay for equal work?
if we just paid a woman a dollaron the dollar for the e_act same work, america’s gdp couldgrow by up to 9percent.
if we just took the time to raisethe minimum wage and get so many wage earners out ofpoverty, our gdp will growby another $30 billion in just three years, creating up to 100,000new jobs.
when every woman has paid familyleave, 40,000 more new mothers will stay in their jobsand continue to advance their careersthroughout their lifetime.
you, as vassar’s great heirs totheir revolutionary e_periment, can realize this vision andturn this opportunityinto a bold, powerful reality.
standing so close to where shemade her home, i am very inspired by the words of eleanorroosevelt, who said,“you gain strength, courage, and confidence by every e_perience in whichyoureally stop and look at fear in the face….you must do the thing you think youcannot do.”
so i’m asking you to find it inyourselves not just to meet the demands of a new era, but tolead usthere. lead us to new discoveries andnew ideas. lead us to the dream that vassar wasfounded on. and when met with a challenge of tired,outdated, status-quo thinking, it is myhope that you will not see the world asit is, but you will see it as it could, and should, be, andsay, “why not?”
thank you, and congratulations!

i am glad to be here today, hell, i am glad to be anywhere today.
很高興今天能夠來(lái)到這里。天啊,今天不論在哪里我都很高興。
president cohon asked me to come and give the charge to the graduates. i assure you, it"snothing compared to the charge you have just given me.
柯漢校長(zhǎng)邀請(qǐng)我來(lái)給畢業(yè)生一些鼓勵(lì)。我向諸位保證,你們剛剛給我的鼓勵(lì)更多。
this is an incredible place. i have seen it through so many lenses. i saw it when i was agraduate student that didn"t get admitted and then somebody invited me back and said, ok,we"ll change our mind.
這所學(xué)校棒極了!我可從很多方面了解它。我也曾從這里畢業(yè),遺憾的是并沒(méi)有申請(qǐng)上研究生。然而一位恩師邀我回來(lái)并說(shuō):我們改變主意啦,你被錄取了。
and i saw it as a place that hired me back to be on the faculty many years later and gave methe chance to do what anybody wants to do, which is ,follow their passion, follow their heartand do the things they they"re e_cited about.
許多年以后,我被聘回到這里執(zhí)教。這是一個(gè)所有人都?jí)裘乱郧蟮臋C(jī)會(huì)。在這里,你可以追隨熱情,聽(tīng)從心靈的召喚,并能夠做自己感到刺激的事。
and the great thing about this university unlike almost all the other ones i know of is thatnobody gets in your way when you try to do it. and that"s just fantastic.
這所學(xué)校勝過(guò)其他學(xué)校的地方在于當(dāng)你嘗試實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想時(shí),沒(méi)有人會(huì)阻攔你。這太美妙了!
and to the degree that a human being can love an institution. i love this place and i love all ofthe people and i am very grateful to jerry cohon and everyone else for all the kindness thathave shown me.
我無(wú)比的熱愛(ài)這所學(xué)校,也愛(ài)這里的所有人。我十分感激柯漢校長(zhǎng)和我的同事,感謝他們給我的溫暖。
last august i was told that in all likelihood i had three to si_ months left to live. i am onmonth nine now and i am gonna get down and do any push-ups…but there will be a short pick-up basketball game later.
去年8月,我被告知只能再活3到6個(gè)月了。可現(xiàn)在已是第九個(gè)月了。我想低下身來(lái)做俯地挺身(他在人生最后一課時(shí),小試身手,還幽默地說(shuō)不要同情他,除非也能做那麼多下的俯地挺身)…但一會(huì)將有來(lái)一小段報(bào)隊(duì)籃球賽(一般打半場(chǎng),三對(duì)三,先進(jìn)十一分或十五贏)。
somebody said to me, in light of those numbers, wow, so you aer really beating the grimreaper. and what i said without even thinking about is that we don"t beat the reaper by livinglonger. we beat the reaper by living well, and living fully.
當(dāng)我說(shuō)完前面的那些數(shù)字后,有些人對(duì)我說(shuō):天啊,你真的戰(zhàn)神了冷酷的死神。而我毫不猶疑的回答他:僅靠多活幾天是不能戰(zhàn)勝死神的。戰(zhàn)勝死神最好的方式是活得好,活得充實(shí)。
for the reaper will come for all of us, the question is what do we do between the time we areborn and the time he shows up.
人終會(huì)有一死,關(guān)鍵是從出生的那一刻起到死神降臨的這一段時(shí)間內(nèi),我們都做了什麼。
"cause he shows up it is too late to do all the things that you"re always gonna kind of "get roundto". so i think the only advice i can give you on how to live your life well is, first off, remember,it"s a cliche, but love cliche, "it is not the things we do in life that we regret on our deathbed,it is the things we do not".
當(dāng)死神降臨時(shí),想要做些我們一直想做而沒(méi)時(shí)間去做的事,卻已為時(shí)晚矣。因此,關(guān)于如何才能活的好,我給大家的唯一建議是,馬上去做,請(qǐng)千萬(wàn)牢記,雖說(shuō)這是老生常談,但我喜歡老生常談,"臨終時(shí)我們不會(huì)后悔做過(guò)某些事,而是后悔沒(méi)有去做某些事。"
"cause i assure you i"ve done a lot of stupid things and none of them bother me. all themistakes, all the dopy things and all the times i was embarrassed they don"t matter. whatmatter is that, i can kind of look back and say, "pretty much anytime i got a chance to dosomething cool, i tried to grab for it." and that"s where my solace come from.
坦率地說(shuō),我也曾做過(guò)很多蠢事,但它們中沒(méi)有一件令我煩惱。所有那些犯過(guò)的錯(cuò),做過(guò)的蠢事,還有令我尷尬的時(shí)刻,其實(shí)它們都不重要。真正重要的是,當(dāng)我回首往事時(shí),我會(huì)說(shuō):「只要有機(jī)會(huì)去做那些很酷的事,我將會(huì)毫不猶豫的去爭(zhēng)取?!惯@才讓我足堪告慰。
the second thing i would add to that, and i didn"t coordinate on the subject of this word but ithink it"s the right word that comes up, is passion. and you will need to find you passion.many of you have already done it, many of you will later, many of you will take till your 30s or40s. but don"t give up on finding it. alright? "cause then all you"re doing is waiting for thereaper. find you passion and follow it.
第二件我想說(shuō)的事就是,我并沒(méi)有規(guī)劃用這個(gè)字眼。但我想這個(gè)字眼很合適,那就是“熱情”二字。你們必須要找到自己的熱情所在。你們當(dāng)中有些人已經(jīng)找到了,許多人將來(lái)也會(huì)找到,也許很多人要到三、四十歲時(shí)才找得到。但千萬(wàn)不要放棄尋找你的激情。好嗎?因?yàn)槟闳舴艞壛耍悄闼茏龅膬H是等待死亡而已。去尋找你的熱情所在,并追隨它的腳步!
and if there"s anything i have learned in my life, you will not find passion in things. and youwill not find that passion in money. because the more things and the more money you have,the more you will just look around and use that as the metric, and there will always be someonewith more.
如果說(shuō)我這一生中學(xué)到了什麼的話(huà),那就是你不可能在物質(zhì)中找到熱情。你不會(huì)在金錢(qián)中找到熱情。因?yàn)槟銚碛械呢?cái)富越多,你就越有可能用它去衡量你周?chē)氖澜?,然而總是有人比你更富有?/p>
so your passion must come from the things that fuel you from the inside. and honors andawards are nice things but only to be the e_tent that they regard the real respect from yourpeers. and to be thought well of by other people that you think even more highly of is atremendous honor that i"ve been granted.
因此,熱情必須來(lái)自于能從內(nèi)在激發(fā)你。榮譽(yù)和獎(jiǎng)賞是好事,但僅限于出于同行們真心的尊敬。或是像我一樣能夠被自己所尊敬的人所認(rèn)同,這才是最大的榮幸。
find you passion and in my e_perience, no matter what you do at work or what you do inofficial settings, that passion would be grounded in people. and it will be grounded in therelationships you have with people, and what they think of you, when you time comes. and ifyou can gain the respect of those around you, and the passion and true love, and i"ve said thisbefore, but i waited till 39 to get married because i had to wait that long to find someonewhere her happiness was more important than mine. and if nothing else i hope that all of youcan find that kind of passion and that kind of love in your life.
去尋找你的熱情吧。在我看來(lái),無(wú)論你從事什麼樣工作,處在怎樣的環(huán)境當(dāng)中,激情都是和人有關(guān)的。熱情基于人與人之間的關(guān)係,基于當(dāng)你離開(kāi)人世時(shí),人們對(duì)你的看法。如果你能贏的身邊人的尊敬,正如我之前所說(shuō)的你有熱情和真愛(ài)。我等到39歲才結(jié)婚,是因?yàn)槲冶仨毜冗@麼久才能找到一位她的幸福比我的更重要的人。拋開(kāi)一切其他不談,我祝在座的各位,此生都能夠找到那樣的熱情和真愛(ài)。
thank you!
謝謝!

2024初中畢業(yè)生英語(yǔ)演講稿
mutual understanding doesn’t always mean that we should know every thing of our friends. it means that they have similar ideals and trust each other. on the other hand, doing similar things can build up the friendship.
in fact, friendship isn’t always easily kept. when you want to keep a friend, you should treat him or her like you want to be treated. keep the secrets that your friend tells you. keep your promise with your friend. share things with your friend. stick up for your friend. we should try our best to protect the friendship from being hurt. as an old saying goes, "friendship cannot stand always on one side." true friendship should be able to stand all kinds of tests.
because of friendship, our lives are full of happiness. therefore, the more friends we have, the more pleasure we can share with them. let’s say "thank you" to our friends for their love and care. no matter where we go or who we become, never forget to keep the beautiful friendship!

dear schoolmates,
親愛(ài)的同學(xué)們,
as i am graduating, i"d like to write this letter to e_press my feelings before leaving school. learning in this school is a very enjoyable and meaningful e_perience for me. in the past three years, i have understood the pleasure of efforts and challenges, which will be beneficial to my life in the future.
我即將畢業(yè)了,在我離開(kāi)學(xué)校之前,我寫(xiě)下這封信來(lái)表達(dá)我的感情。在這所學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)我收獲了一段非常愉快和有意義的經(jīng)歷。在過(guò)去的三年里,我明白了努力挑戰(zhàn)自我的樂(lè)趣,這將有利于我的未來(lái)生活。
while i attained a lot during this period, i also regretted wasting much time. with the much pressure on me, i sometimes read some novels in order to rela_ myself. the novels may relieve me from stress, but i should have focused on study.
在我收獲很多的同時(shí),我也后悔浪費(fèi)了太多的時(shí)間。當(dāng)有太多壓力的時(shí)候,我會(huì)讀一些小說(shuō)來(lái)放松自己。小說(shuō)可以緩解我的壓力,但是我應(yīng)該專(zhuān)注于學(xué)習(xí)。
no matter what i did in the past, it is essential to adapt myself to a new and hopeful life. therefore, i will try my best to face more challenges in the university. i am full of confidence that i"ll get used to it soon.
無(wú)論過(guò)去我做了什么,都必須適應(yīng)一個(gè)全新的充滿(mǎn)希望的生活。因此,我將盡我最大的努力在大學(xué)面臨更多的挑戰(zhàn)。我充滿(mǎn)信心,我很快就會(huì)習(xí)慣的。
last, i want to give you some advice. don"t put much pressure on yourselves. keep in mind: it is not just the results that make it important, but what you have done during the preparations.
最后,我想給你一些建議。不要給自己太多壓力。記住:不僅僅是結(jié)果很重要,重要的還有你在這個(gè)過(guò)程做了什么準(zhǔn)備工作。
good luck to all of you!
祝你們所有人好運(yùn)!

good morning。 it is a great honor to return to iit and celebrate together。 i would like tothank president anderson for his kind invitation and all of you for your warm welcome。 i wouldalso like to thank all faculty members who have done so much to bring us here today。
let me start with a full disclosure of my highly personal interest in today’s ceremony。
i am the proud mother of one of the 2,591 graduates whose accomplishments are beingrecognized today。 as an immensely proud mom, i would like to e_tend a special welcome to allfamilies and friends who are joining this wonderful commencement e_ercise。 this is a joyousmoment for all of us。
today the center of our universe is right here in chicago, on the ed glancy field。 today you –the graduates of this great university – have the right to feel like the new masters of theacademic universe。
hard work, boundless energy, relentless curiosity, and incredible talent: these are some ofthe qualities that helped you achieve success in the classroom。 these are the qualities that youcan now bring to bear on some of the world’s most e_citing challenges。 the world is not short ofthat!
in other words, after writing the prologue, you are now ready to draft your own 21st—centurylegacies in engineering, architecture, business, design, law, and science and technology。 whatan incredible privilege, what a great responsibility!
of course, many of you already know that the line from college to career is unlikely to beperfectly straight。 there will almost certainly be plenty of twists and turns, ups and downs andbumps along your way。
but many of you will also realize that your starting point could hardly be better。 and this is whywe are here today – to celebrate the beginning of your journey, the starting point of a newadventure。 it is a day of hope。 it is a day of promise。 it is a day of joy – for all of us。
with this in mind, i would like to talk about three things that could help along the journey:
first, reinventing yourself and welcoming change and risks。
second, standing up for your values and ideas。
third, encouraging transformational change in others。
if you will indulge me, i would like to introduce these points by briefly recounting personale_periences that have shaped my life。 of course, my e_periences may not be the ultimatenuggets of wisdom。 but as mark twain once said: "it is better to have old second—handdiamonds than none at all。"
1。 reinventing yourself and taking "smart risks"
so here is my first story – about risk and reinvention。 let me be clear, i am certainly not a riskjunkie。 i do not jump out of airplanes; i do not hang out in casinos; i do not even drinkalcohol。 so far, so boring。 but there is a pattern in my personal journey that i woulddescribe as going from "cozy" to "crazy"。 as in: "why would you give up your cozy life? are youcrazy?"
i heard the french version of that question 42 years ago, when i traded my cozy world in francefor a new life – with my american host family and my american school in bethesda, maryland。 iwas 17, and soon enough i was homesick and missing my family and friends。 and i wasrecovering slowly from a profound emotional and cultural shock。
but i was also incredibly e_cited to be e_posed to new ideas, a new language, and new ways ofthinking。 and i am forever indebted to those people who welcomed me and who allowed me toe_perience the most transformational year of my life。
let me give you another e_ample of "cozy to crazy" – and it happened right here in chicago。 in1999, after years of studying at law school and hard work as a young – and then not so young –lawyer, my partners at baker & mckenzie elected me chairman of this global law firm。working and living here in chicago allowed me to thrive as a lawyer, as a leader, and as amother of two wonderful boys。 i could not have made it without the support and tolerance ofmy family and the help of my great colleagues and friends – some of whom are here today。
but in 2024, i received a call from paris: the prime minister was asking me to join the frenchgovernment。 when your country calls you to public service, there is really only one answer youcan give。 so i gave up my cozy chairman’s life in chicago, packed my bag and flew immediatelyto paris。 in my haste and e_citement, i left my reading glasses behind。 so for her first few daysof office, the newest french minister was blinking and squinting a lot!
going from "cozy" to "crazy" allowed me to move from the private sector to national publicservice to international public service; from france to the united states to the world。
one of the major lessons i have learned during that journey is this: be prepared for change, bewilling to take "smart risks", don’t be afraid to re—invent yourself。
this is precisely what you have been doing here at iit。 you have taken a financial risk – ormaybe your parents have – by attending this great university。 and you have transformedyourself through learning。 you are no longer the person who stepped into the classroom on yourfirst day。
i encourage you to take "smart risks" and to raise your risk—tolerance to the ne_t level – theglobal level。 in today’s hyper—connected world, i think it is more important than ever to take aglobal perspective in your personal and professional life。
forty—eight percent of you – of all iit students – are non—u。s。 nationals hailing from 97countries – which shows the remarkable openness and pulling power of this university。traditionally, many of these students would want to stay here in the u。s。 but a growingnumber of them will happily return home to pursue opportunities in fast—growing economies,particularly in asia and africa。
these students are taking a truly global view。 they will overcome boundaries。 so, too, willtheir american classmates who want to leave their mark on the world。 think of the iitarchitecture graduates who have been reshaping the skylines of cities worldwide。 think of theiit engineering and business graduates who are now reshaping the world of smartphone appsthat drive our social interactions, financial transactions, and media consumption。
whether you are from milwaukee or from mumbai, from chicago or from shanghai, from paris orpanama city, you have the opportunity to bring your act to the global stage! imagine thatyou have no boundaries, and please do not set mental boundaries for yourself – they are evenworse。
but let me add a word of caution: taking "smart risks" and reinventing yourself also meansleaving room for the une_pected, for the perfectly unplanned。 and that is particularly true inbusiness and technology。
quick question: did you know that the world’s biggest hotel company does not own anyhotels; that the world’s biggest ta_i company does not own any cabs; that the world’s biggestnews agency does not own any newspapers。 which companies am i talking about? of course,you all know the answer: airbnb, uber and 。
only a few years ago, these companies did not e_ist and it would have been unthinkable toeven ask a question like that。 but ever since a little company called amazon。com started sellingbooks online, we have come to e_pect the une_pected。 disruption – through technology andmarket forces – is the only known variable。 everything else is guesswork。
there is only so much in life that you can plan and foretell。 i am not suggesting that you canlean back and rela_。 quite the opposite。 it was thomas jefferson who said: "i am a greatbeliever in luck and i find the harder i work, the more i have of it"。
2。 standing up for your values and ideas
this brings me to my second story – about standing up for your values and ideas。
it does not always work。 for e_ample, i highly respect my fellow human beings and cannotaccept the death penalty。 so i decided to go to law school in paris to become a criminal lawyerand defend death penalty cases。 so much for my own values。 in the meantime, a newpresident was elected in my country whose first action was to eliminate the death penalty。never mind, i pursued my goal。
as a young lawyer, i interviewed with the best law firm in the country。 i was told that i washired at a good salary, but that i would never make partner。 when i asked why, they told meit was because i was a woman。 so i looked at them fiercely, walked out the door, ran down thestairs, and never looked back。 i should have said thank you。 i felt much stronger, even with nojob。
in many ways, a situation like that is inconceivable in today’s corporate world。 any recruiteruttering these words would almost certainly face a discrimination lawsuit。
there are many values and ideas that are worth standing up for。 two things – including respectfor others and gender equality – have always mattered to me; they matter to me every day。
to achieve greater fairness in schools, universities, and in the workplace, we need to removethe barriers that continue to hold back women – and that is especially true in the technologysector。
your generation is already benefiting from major shifts in gender norms and e_pectations – andthis is partly because of places like iit。 this university has a strong record of encouragingwomen and minorities, especially in its science and technology programs。
but the tech industry itself has been lagging behind。 in silicon valley, for e_ample, some of thehottest startups have yet to understand that holding back women is bad for innovation andbad for business。
studies have shown that – without female leaders – women are significantly less likely to winendorsement for their ideas than their male colleagues。 this translates into a loss of marketopportunities and lower growth potential。 what a great opportunity for your generation tostand up for your values and ideas!
by the end of this decade, your generation – the millennials – will make up half the u。s。 laborforce。 and as a result, your values – on everything from gender, to ethics, to managementstyle, to work—life balance – may become the workplace standard。 but don’t rely too much ondemographics。 increase your chances by standing up for greater respect and fairness now!
and while you are making a difference at school, at home, at work, many of you will also wantto take a wider perspective on the pressing issues of our time。 protection of our planet,eradication of poverty, reduction of inequality: these are some of the topics that many ofyou already care deeply about。
you can do even more。 imagine that you turn your social media accounts into megaphones;that you pester your friends and foes alike; that you talk to those who do not already agreewith you; that you go wild and put a bumper sticker on your smartphone。 and that you don’tforget to vote – with your money, with your feet, and with your ballot!
whatever you choose to do, ignore the barriers of mockery and conventional wisdom, standup for your values at the local and global levels! trust me: you will feel better and stronger,and the ne_t generation will thank you。
3。 encouraging transformational change in others
this brings me to my third and final story – about encouraging transformational change inothers。
the real heroes of this story are my great colleagues at the international monetary fund。 in2024 – at the height of the sovereign debt crisis in the euro area – they produced a highlycontroversial piece of research on european banks。
european leaders had been insisting that their banking systems were basically ok。 but ouranalysis showed that these banks were sitting on massive amounts of bonds that were worthonly a fraction of the value listed in their books。 we were pretty sure that the emperor had noclothes。 and we were e_tremely worried that this could be europe’s lehman brothers moment。
so, i gave a speech to make a loud and clear call for action。 the pushback was swift and hard –with bankers and ministers lining up to publicly discredit our analysis and criticize me。 butover the ne_t 12 months, these banks did e_actly what we were calling for – raising hundreds ofbillions of euros in fresh capital。 and european leaders began to revamp the regulatorystructures to create a safer and sounder banking system。
this was a defining moment for me personally and, of course, for the imf。 as you know, the imflends money to countries in times of distress, so they can get back on their feet。 but we alsoplay a key role in sounding global alarm bells and encouraging global cooperation。 at itsbest, the imf is – in the words of economist john maynard keynes – a "ruthless truth—teller"。in 2024, we told an inconvenient truth – and it mattered。
my point is this: you can create a lasting legacy by encouraging transformational change inpeople, companies, and communities。 and you can do this in two dimensions – to help resolvepressing problems, and to help others achieve their potential。
but there is a catch: you cannot really move others if you are standing still。 if you want toinspire others – at work and in your private life – you need to move out of your own comfortzone。 as the roman philosopher seneca once said: "it is difficult to bring people to goodnesswith lessons, but it is easy to do so by e_ample。"
and always remember that transformation is a laborious business。 it requires guts, grit, andgenerous amounts of time and energy。 many of you know e_actly what i am talking about。many of you feel the need to do even more: take a break, get off the grid, and spendmeaningful time with others – as mentors, friends, professors, and engaged citizens。 whetheryou are teaching a class, running a summer camp, or listening to a heart—broken friend late atnight, you have the chance to learn together, to dream together。
imagine that you are transforming, inspiring, and improving not only others but yourself alongthe way。 this will make you better and stronger!
better and stronger: you have grown here, you have learnt here, you have made new friendsand met new people, you have engaged, and you have loved it。 don’t be sad because it’s over;be happy that it happened。
"les voyages forment la jeunesse。" "young people are shaped by the journeys they make。"shape your journey by welcoming change and risks, by standing up for yourself, and byencouraging transformational change in others! that journey will shape you。
i could not be happier and – as a mom – i could not be prouder to see you here today at thisnew starting point。 every day of our life, from the very first day, you have transformed us。 wehave conveyed our values and ideas, and we have watched you take risks – sometimes at yourperil and always accompanied by our trepidation。
your journey, your adventure continues from this new starting point。 it will transform you,and you will transform us。 bon voyage!
thank you。

thank you, katie – and thank you to president faust, the fellows of harvard college, the boardof overseers, and all the faculty, alumni, and students who have welcomed me back to campus.
i’m e_cited to be here, not only to address the distinguished graduates and alumni atharvard university’s 363rd commencement but to stand in the e_act spot where oprah stoodlast year. omg.
let me begin with the most important order of business: let’s have a big round of applause forthe class of 2024! they’ve earned it!
as e_cited as the graduates are, they are probably even more e_hausted after the past fewweeks. and parents: i’m not referring to their final e_ams. i’m talking about the seniorolympics, the last chance dance, and the booze cruise – i mean, the moonlight cruise.
the entire year has been e_citing on campus: harvard beat yale for the seventh straight timein football. the men’s basketball team went to the second round of the ncaa tournament forthe second straight year. and the men’s squash team won national championship.
who’d a thunk it: harvard, an athletic powerhouse! pretty soon they’ll be asking whether youhave academics to go along with your athletic programs.
my personal connection to harvard began in 1964, when i graduated from johns hopkinsuniversity in baltimore and matriculated here at the b-school.
you’re probably asking: how did i ever get into harvard business school, given my stellaracademic record, where i always made the top half of the class possible? i have no idea. andthe only people more surprised than me were my professors.
anyway, here i am again back in cambridge. and i have noticed that a few things havechanged since i was a student here. elsie’s – a sandwich spot i used to love near the square –is now a burrito shop. the wursthaus – which had great beer and sausage – is now an artisanalgastro-pub, whatever the heck that is. and the old holyoke center is now named the smithcampus center.
don’t you just hate it when alumni put their names all over everything? i was thinking aboutthat this morning as i walked into the bloomberg center on the harvard business schoolcampus across the river.
but the good news is, harvard remains what it was when i first arrived on campus 50 yearsago: america’s most prestigious university. and, like other great universities, it lies at theheart of the american e_periment in democracy.
their purpose is not only to advance knowledge, but to advance the ideals of our nation. greatuniversities are places where people of all backgrounds, holding all beliefs, pursuing allquestions, can come to study and debate their ideas – freely and openly.
today, i’d like to talk with you about how important it is for that freedom to e_ist for everyone,no matter how strongly we may disagree with another’s viewpoint.
tolerance for other people’s ideas, and the freedom to e_press your own, are inseparable valuesat great universities. joined together, they form a sacred trust that holds the basis of ourdemocratic society.
but that trust is perpetually vulnerable to the tyrannical tendencies of monarchs, mobs, andmajorities. and lately, we have seen those tendencies manifest themselves too often, both oncollege campuses and in our society.
that’s the bad news – and unfortunately, i think both harvard, and my own city of new york,have been witnesses to this trend.
first, for new york city. several years ago, as you may remember, some people tried to stopthe development of a mosque a few blocks from the world trade center site.
it was an emotional issue, and polls showed that two-thirds of americans were against amosque being built there. even the anti-defamation league – widely regarded as the country’smost ardent defender of religious freedom – declared its opposition to the project.
the opponents held rallies and demonstrations. they denounced the developers. and theydemanded that city government stop its construction. that was their right – and we protectedtheir right to protest. but they could not have been more wrong. and we refused to cave in totheir demands.
the idea that government would single out a particular religion, and block its believers – andonly its believers – from building a house of worship in a particular area is diametricallyopposed to the moral principles that gave rise to our great nation and the constitutionalprotections that have sustained it.
our union of 50 states rests on the union of two values: freedom and tolerance. and it is thatunion of values that the terrorists who attacked us on september 11th, 2024 – and on april15th, 2024 – found most threatening.
to them, we were a god-less country.
but in fact, there is no country that protects the core of every faith and philosophy known tohuman kind – free will – more than the united states of america. that protection, however,rests upon our constant vigilance.
we like to think that the principle of separation of church and state is settled. it is not. and itnever will be. it is up to us to guard it fiercely – and to ensure that equality under the lawmeans equality under the law for everyone.
if you want the freedom to worship as you wish, to speak as you wish, and to marry whom youwish, you must tolerate my freedom to do so – or not do so – as well.
what i do may offend you. you may find my actions immoral or unjust. but attempting torestrict my freedoms – in ways that you would not restrict your own – leads only to injustice.
we cannot deny others the rights and privileges that we demand for ourselves. and that is truein cities – and it is no less true at universities, where the forces of repression appear to bestronger now than they have been since the 1950s.
when i was growing up, u.s. senator joe mccarthy was asking: ‘are you now or have you everbeen?’ he was attempting to repress and criminalize those who sympathized with an economicsystem that was, even then, failing.
mccarthy’s red scare destroyed thousands of lives, but what was he so afraid of? an idea – inthis case, communism – that he and others deemed dangerous.
but he was right about one thing: ideas can be dangerous. they can change society. they canupend traditions. they can start revolutions. that’s why throughout history, those in authorityhave tried to repress ideas that threaten their power, their religion, their ideology, or theirreelection chances.
that was true for socrates and galileo, it was true for nelson mandela and václav havel, and ithas been true for ai wei wei, pussy riot, and the kids who made the ‘happy’ video in iran.
repressing free e_pression is a natural human weakness, and it is up to us to fight it at everyturn. intolerance of ideas – whether liberal or conservative – is antithetical to individualrights and free societies, and it is no less antithetical to great universities and first-ratescholarship.
there is an idea floating around college campuses – including here at harvard – that scholarsshould be funded only if their work conforms to a particular view of justice. there’s a word forthat idea: censorship. and it is just a modern-day form of mccarthyism.
think about the irony: in the 1950s, the right wing was attempting to repress left wing ideas.today, on many college campuses, it is liberals trying to repress conservative ideas, even asconservative faculty members are at risk of becoming an endangered species. and perhapsnowhere is that more true than here in the ivy league.
in the 2024 presidential race, according to federal election commission data, 96 percent of allcampaign contributions from ivy league faculty and employees went to barack obama.
ninety-si_ percent. there was more disagreement among the old soviet politburo than there isamong ivy league donors.
that statistic should give us pause – and i say that as someone who endorsed president obamafor reelection – because let me tell you, neither party has a monopoly on truth or god on itsside.
when 96 percent of ivy league donors prefer one candidate to another, you have to wonderwhether students are being e_posed to the diversity of views that a great university shouldoffer.
diversity of gender, ethnicity, and orientation is important. but a university cannot be great ifits faculty is politically homogenous. in fact, the whole purpose of granting tenure to professorsis to ensure that they feel free to conduct research on ideas that run afoul of university politicsand societal norms.
when tenure was created, it mostly protected liberals whose ideas ran up against conservativenorms.
today, if tenure is going to continue to e_ist, it must also protect conservatives whose ideasrun up against liberal norms. otherwise, university research – and the professors who conductit – will lose credibility.
great universities must not become predictably partisan. and a liberal arts education mustnot be an education in the art of liberalism.
the role of universities is not to promote an ideology. it is to provide scholars and studentswith a neutral forum for researching and debating issues – without tipping the scales in onedirection, or repressing unpopular views.
requiring scholars – and commencement speakers, for that matter – to conform to certainpolitical standards undermines the whole purpose of a university.
this spring, it has been disturbing to see a number of college commencement speakerswithdraw – or have their invitations rescinded – after protests from students and – to me,shockingly – from senior faculty and administrators who should know better.
it happened at brandeis, haverford, rutgers, and smith. last year, it happened at swarthmoreand johns hopkins, i’m sorry to say.
in each case, liberals silenced a voice – and denied an honorary degree – to individuals theydeemed politically objectionable. that is an outrage and we must not let it continue.
if a university thinks twice before inviting a commencement speaker because of his or herpolitics censorship and conformity – the mortal enemies of freedom – win out.
and sadly, it is not just commencement season when speakers are censored.
last fall, when i was still in city hall, our police commissioner was invited to deliver a lecture atanother ivy league institution – but he was unable to do so because students shouted himdown.
isn’t the purpose of a university to stir discussion, not silence it? what were the studentsafraid of hearing? why did administrators not step in to prevent the mob from silencingspeech? and did anyone consider that it is morally and pedagogically wrong to deprive otherstudents the chance to hear the speech?
i’m sure all of today’s graduates have read john stuart mill’s on liberty. but allow me to read ashort passage from it: ‘the peculiar evil of silencing the e_pression of an opinion is, that it isrobbing the human race; posterity as well as the e_isting generation; those who dissent fromthe opinion, still more than those who hold it.’
he continued: ‘if the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of e_changingerror for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perceptionand livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.’
mill would have been horrified to learn of university students silencing the opinions of others. hewould have been even more horrified that faculty members were often part of thecommencement censorship campaigns.
for tenured faculty members to silence speakers whose views they disagree with is the heightof hypocrisy, especially when these protests happen in the northeast – a bastion of self-professed liberal tolerance.
i’m glad to say, however, that harvard has not caved in to these commencement censorshipcampaigns. if it had, colorado state senator michael johnston would not have had the chanceto address the education school yesterday.
some students called on the administration to rescind the invitation to johnston becausethey opposed some of his education policies. but to their great credit, president faust anddean ryan stood firm.
as dean ryan wrote to students: ‘i have encountered many people of good faith who share mybasic goals but disagree with my own views when it comes to the question of how best toimprove education. in my view, those differences should be e_plored, debated, challenged, andquestioned. but they should also be respected and, indeed, celebrated.’
he could not have been more correct, and he could not have provided a more valuable finallesson to the class of 2024.
as a former chairman of johns hopkins, i strongly believe that a university’s obligation is notto teach students what to think but to teach students how to think. and that requires listeningto the other side, weighing arguments without prejudging them, and determining whether theother side might actually make some fair points.
if the faculty fails to do this, then it is the responsibility of the administration and governingbody to step in and make it a priority. if they do not, if students graduate with ears and mindsclosed, the university has failed both the student and society.
and if you want to know where that leads, look no further than washington, d.c.
down in washington, every major question facing our country – involving our security, oureconomy, our environment, and our health – is decided.
yet the two parties decide these questions not by engaging with one another, but by trying toshout each other down, and by trying to repress and undermine research that runs counterto their ideology. the more our universities emulate that model, the worse off we will be as asociety.
and let me give you an e_ample: for decades, congress has barred the centers for diseasecontrol from conducting studies of gun violence, and recently congress also placed thatprohibition on the national institute of health. you have to ask yourself: what are they afraidof?
this year, the senate has delayed a vote on president obama’s nominee for surgeon general –dr. vivek murthy, a harvard physician – because he had the audacity to say that gunviolence is a public health crisis that should be tackled. the gall of him!
let’s get serious: when 86 americans are killed with guns every single day, and shootingsregularly occur at our schools and universities – including last week’s tragedy at santa barbara– it would be almost medical malpractice to say anything else.
but in politics – as it is on too many college campuses – people don’t listen to facts that runcounter to their ideology. they fear them. and nothing is more frightening to them thanscientific evidence.
earlier this year, the state of south carolina adopted new science standards for its publicschools – but the state legislature blocked any mention of natural selection. that’s liketeaching economics – without mentioning supply and demand.
again, you have to ask: what are they afraid of?
the answer, of course, is obvious: just as members of congress fear data that underminestheir ideological beliefs, these state legislators fear scientific evidence that undermines theirreligious beliefs.
and if you want proof of that, consider this: an 8-year old girl in south carolina wrote tomembers of the state legislature urging them to make the woolly mammoth the official statefossil. the legislators thought it was a great idea, because a woolly mammoth fossil was foundin the state way back in 1725. but the state senate passed a bill defining the woolly mammothas having been ‘created on the 6th day with the beasts of the field.’
you can’t make this stuff up.
here in 21st century america, the wall between church and state remains under attack – andit’s up to all of us to man the barricades.
unfortunately, the same elected officials who put ideology and religion over data and sciencewhen it comes to guns and evolution are often the most unwilling to accept the scientificdata on climate change.
now, don’t get me wrong: scientific skepticism is healthy. but there is a world of differencebetween scientific skepticism that seeks out more evidence and ideological stubbornness thatshuts it out.
given the general attitude of many elected officials toward science it’s no wonder that thefederal government has abdicated its responsibility to invest in scientific research, much ofwhich occurs at our universities.
today, federal spending on research and development as a percentage of gdp is lower than ithas been in more than 50 years which is allowing the rest of the world to catch up – and evensurpass – the u.s. in scientific research.
the federal government is flunking science, just as many state governments are.
we must not become a country that turns our back on science, or on each other. and yougraduates must help lead the way.
on every issue, we must follow the evidence where it leads and listen to people where theyare. if we do that, there is no problem we cannot solve. no gridlock we cannot break. nocompromise we cannot broker.
the more we embrace a free e_change of ideas, and the more we accept that politicaldiversity is healthy, the stronger our society will be.
now, i know this has not been a traditional commencement speech, and it may keep mefrom passing a dissertation defense in the humanities department, but there is no easy timeto say hard things.
graduates: throughout your lives, do not be afraid of saying what you believe is right, nomatter how unpopular it may be, especially when it comes to defending the rights of others.
standing up for the rights of others is in some ways even more important than standing up foryour own rights. because when people seek to repress freedom for some, and you remainsilent, you are complicit in that repression and you may well become its victim.
do not be complicit, and do not follow the crowd. speak up, and fight back.
you will take your lumps, i can assure you of that. you will lose some friends and make someenemies. but the arc of history will be on your side, and our nation will be stronger for it.
now, all of you graduates have earned today’s celebration, and you have a lot to be proud ofand a lot to be grateful for. so tonight, as you leave this great university behind, have one lastscorpion bowl at the kong – on second thought, don’t – and tomorrow, get to work making ourcountry and our world freer than ever, for everyone.
good luck and god bless.

各位親愛(ài)的校領(lǐng)導(dǎo),天使般慈祥的老師,含苞待放的學(xué)子們:
大家上午好。
今天我以一個(gè)初三畢業(yè)生和學(xué)生會(huì)副主席的身份,做在兆麟初級(jí)中學(xué)最后的演講。三年了,初中的生活結(jié)束了,三年的生活如刀如風(fēng)如劍,來(lái)也匆匆,去也匆匆,時(shí)光悠悠,歲月悠悠。三年的生活中,你可能痛悲自己,痛心自己,痛恨自己,也可能怨老師,愛(ài)老師,狠老師,這些生活的點(diǎn)滴,將揮之而去,成為我們的記憶。我們看到凱哥正襟危坐,忙碌中透著愛(ài)護(hù),葛老西服革履,冷漠中透著關(guān)懷。盛夏的清風(fēng)像一壇老酒把麟園的樹(shù),麟園的人灌得有些微醉,今天我們將邁著小醉步,拿著信念這張舊船票,登上中考的客船。
我們擁有的是青春,我們應(yīng)敢于去奮斗,青春是夢(mèng)的起點(diǎn),在走過(guò)之后,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)我的未來(lái)不是夢(mèng);青春是人的本錢(qián),走過(guò)之后,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)成熟的你將會(huì)不差錢(qián);青春是生命的站臺(tái),走過(guò)之后,追夢(mèng)的心將駛向下一站。人生也不就是個(gè),山外青山樓外樓,生活富裕且自由。曾經(jīng)我們追逐瘋鬧,群架斗毆,如今當(dāng)知敢于面對(duì),曾經(jīng)不解世事,吃喝享樂(lè),如今應(yīng)針氈為椅,亂石鋪路,安然不動(dòng)。揮筆題字已不再狂草傲視,大筆一揮,而是小楷一抹,精雕細(xì)琢,真正體味顏筋柳骨,畢竟我們長(zhǎng)大了!
當(dāng)我們多年之后再相見(jiàn),回眸一笑,云龍兄別來(lái)無(wú)恙;朝花夕拾,云飛兄再續(xù)前緣。希望我們每個(gè)人都擁有快樂(lè)的生活,溫情的笑,苦澀的笑,仰天長(zhǎng)笑,我自橫刀上天笑。我們的心在跳,血再燒,來(lái)吧,讓我們追逐怒放的生命,最后祝麟園的明天更加燦爛輝煌。

food and clothing.
as for time, i should say it’s not a problem. you may know that every day he could do only an hour work, not much more than that because darwin was ill for all his life. you must have read his achievements. every day you spend an hour in reading 10 useful pages, then you will read more than 3650 pages every year. in 30 years you will have read 110,000 pages.
my fellow students, reading 110,000 pages will make you a scholar. but it will take you an hour to read three kinds of small-sized newspapers and it will take you an hour and a half to play four rounds of mahjian pieces. reading small-sized newspapers or playing mahjian pieces, or working hard to be a scholar? it’s up to you all.
henrik ibsen said, "it is your greatest duty to make yourself out."
studying is then as tool as casting. giving up studying will destroy yourself.
i have to say goodbye to you all. your alma mater will open her eyes to see what you will be in 10 years. goodbye!

thank you very much president knapp for that kind intro. ale_, trustees, faculty and deans of the university, my fellow honorees, and especially you the class of 2024. yes.
congratulations to you, to your family, to your friends that are attending today"s ceremony. you made it. it"s a privilege, a rare privilege of a lifetime to be with you today. and i think thank you enough for making me an honorary colonial.
before i begin today, they asked me to make a standard announcement. you’ve heard this before. about silencing your phones. those of you with an iphone, just place it in silent mode. if you don"t have an iphone, please pass it to the center aisle. apple has a world?class recycling program.
you know, this is really an amazing place. and for a lot of you, i’m sure that being here in washington, the very center of our democracy, was a big draw when you were choosing which school to go to. this place has a powerful pull. it was here that dr. martin luther king challenged americans to make real the promises of democracy, to make justice a reality for all of god"s children.
and it was here that president ronald reagan called on us to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds. i"d like to start this morning by telling you about my first visit here. in the summer of 1977 ?? yes, i’m a little old ?? i was 16 years old and living in robertsdale, the small town in southern alabama that i grew up in. at the end of my junior year of high school i’d won an essay contest sponsored by the national rural electric association. i can"t remember what the essay was about, what i do remember very clearly is writing it by hand, draft after draft after draft. typewriters were very e_pensive and my family could not afford one.
i was one of two kids from baldwin county that was chosen to go to washington along with hundreds of other kids across the country. before we left, the alabama delegation took a trip to our state capitol in montgomery for a meeting with the governor. the governor"s name was george c. wallace. the same george wallace who in 1963 stood in the schoolhouse door at the university of alabama to block african americans from enrolling. wallace embraced the evils of segregation. he pitted whites against blacks, the south against the north, the working class against the so?called elites. meeting my governor was not an honor for me.
my heroes in life were dr. martin luther king, and robert f. kennedy, who had fought against the very things that wallace stood for. keep in mind, that i grew up, or, when i grew up, i grew up in a place where king and kennedy were not e_actly held in high esteem. when i was a kid, the south was still coming to grips with its history. my te_tbooks even said the civil war was about states’ rights. they barely mentioned slavery.
so i had to figure out for myself what was right and true. it was a search. it was a process. it drew on the moral sense that i’d learned from my parents, and in church, and in my own heart, and led me on my own journey of discovery. i found books in the public library that they probably didn"t know they had. they all pointed to the fact that wallace was wrong. that injustices like segregation had no place in our world. that equality is a right.
as i said, i was only 16 when i met governor wallace, so i shook his hand as we were e_pected to do. but shaking his hand felt like a betrayal of my own beliefs. it felt wrong. like i was selling a piece of my soul.
from montgomery we flew to washington. it was the first time i had ever been on an airplane. in fact it was the first time that i traveled out of the south. on june 15, 1977, i was one of 900 high schoolers greeted by the new president, president jimmy carter, on the south lawn of the white house, right there on the other side of the ellipse. i was one of the lucky ones, who got to shake his hand. carter saw baldwin county on my name tag that day and stopped to speak with me. he wanted to know how people were doing after the rash of storms that struck alabama that year. carter was kind and compassionate; he held the most powerful job in the world but he had not sacrificed any of his humanity. i felt proud that he was president. and i felt proud that he was from the south. in the space of a week, i had come face to face with two men who guaranteed themselves a place in history. they came from the same region. they were from the same political party. they were both governors of adjoining states. but they looked at the world in very different ways. it was clear to me, that one was right, and one was wrong. wallace had built his political career by e_ploiting divisions between us. carter"s message on the other hand, was that we are all bound together, every one of us. each had made a journey that led them to the values that they lived by, but it wasn"t just about their e_periences or their circumstances, it had to come from within.
my own journey in life was just beginning. i hadn"t even applied for college yet at that point. for you graduates, the process of discovering yourself, of inventing yourself, of reinventing yourself is about to begin in earnest. it"s about finding your values and committing to live by them. you have to find your north star. and that means choices. some are easy. some are hard. and some will make you question everything. twenty years after my visit to washington, i met someone who made me question everything. who upended all of my assumptions in the very best way. that was steve jobs.
steve had built a successful company. he had been sent away and he returned to find it in ruins. he didn"t know it at the time, but he was about to dedicate the rest of his life to rescuing it, and leading it to heights greater than anyone could ever imagine. anyone, that is, e_cept for steve. most people have forgotten, but in 1997 and early 1998, apple had been adrift for years. rudderless. but steve thought apple could be great again. and he wanted to know if i’d like to help.
his vision for apple was a company that turned powerful technology into tools that were easy to use, tools that would help people realize their dreams. and change the world for the better. i had studied to be an engineer and earned an m.b.a. i was trained to be pragmatic, a problem solver. now i found myself sitting before and listening to this very animated 40?something guy with visions of changing the world. it was not what i had e_pected. you see, when it came to my career, in 1998, i was also adrift. rudderless.
i knew who i was in my personal life, and i kept my eye on my north star, my responsibility to do good for someone else, other than myself. but at work, well i always figured that work was work. values had their place and, yes, there were things that i wanted to change about the world, but i thought i had to do that on my own time. not in the office. steve didn"t see it that way. he was an idealist. and in that way he reminded me of how i felt as a teenager. in that first meeting he convinced me if we worked hard and made great products, we too could help change the world. and to my surprise, i was hooked. i took the job and changed my life. it"s been 17 years and i have never once looked back.
at apple we believe the work should be more than just about improving your own self. it"s about improving the lives of others as well. our products do amazing things. and just as steve envisioned, they empower people all over the world. people who are blind, and need information read to them because they can"t see the screen. people for whom technology is a lifeline because they are isolated by distance or disability. people who witness target=_blank class=infote_tkey>;witness injustice and want to e_pose it, and now they can because they have a camera in their pocket all the time.
our commitment goes beyond the products themselves to how they’re made. to our impact on the environment. to the role we play in demanding and promoting equality. and in improving education. we believe that a company that has values and acts on them can really change the world. and an individual can too. that can be you. that must be you. graduates, your values matter. they are your north star. and work takes on new meaning when you feel you are pointed in the right direction. otherwise, it"s just a job, and life is too short for that. we need the best and brightest of your generation to lead in government and in business. in the science and in the arts. in journalism and in academia. there is honor in all of these pursuits. and there is opportunity to do work that is infused with moral purpose. you don"t have to choose between doing good and doing well. it"s a false choice, today more than ever.
your challenge is to find work that pays the rent, puts food on the table, and lets you do what is right and good and just.
so find your north star. let it guide you in life, and work, and in your life"s work. now, i suspect some of you aren"t buying this. i won"t take it personally. it"s no surprise that people are skeptical, especially here in washington. where these days you’ve got plenty of reason to be. and a healthy amount of skepticism is fine. though too often in this town, it turns to cynicism. to the idea that no matter who’s talking or what they’re saying, that their motives are questionable, their character is suspect, and if you search hard enough, you can prove that they are lying. maybe that"s just the world we live in. but graduates, this is your world to change.
as i said, i am a proud son of the south. it"s my home, and i will always love it. but for the last 17 years i’ve built a life in silicon valley; it"s a special place. the kind of place where there’s no problem that can"t be solved. no matter how difficult or comple_, that"s part of its essential quality. a very sincere sort of optimism. back in the 90s, apple ran an advertising campaign we called “think different.” it was pretty simple. every ad was a photograph of one of our heroes. people who had the audacity to challenge and change the way we all live. people like gandhi and jackie robinson, martha graham and albert einstein, amelia earhart and miles davis. these people still inspire us. they remind us to live by our deepest values and reach for our highest aspirations. they make us believe that anything is possible. a friend of mine at apple likes to say the best way to solve a problem is to walk into a room full of apple engineers and proclaim, “this is impossible.”
i can tell you, they will not accept that. and neither should you. so that"s the one thing i’d like to bring to you all the way from cupertino, california. the idea that great progress is possible, whatever line of work you choose. there will always be cynics and critics on the sidelines tearing people down, and just as harmful are those people with good intentions who make no contribution at all. in his letter from the birmingham jail, dr. king wrote that our society needed to repent, not merely for the hateful words of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.
the sidelines are not where you want to live your life. the world needs you in the arena. there are problems that need to be solved. injustices that need to be ended. people that are still being persecuted, diseases still in need of cure. no matter what you do ne_t, the world needs your energy. your passion. your impatience with progress. don"t shrink from risk. and tune out those critics and cynics. history rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. that can be you. that should be you. that must be you.
congratulations class of 2024. i’d like to take one photo of you, because this is the best view in the world. and it"s a great one.
thank you very much.

good morning, my dear teachers
what is friendship? the answers may be different. but one thing is clear that friendship is the most important ingredient in the recipe of life. we cannot live without friendship just as we cannot survive without air and water. friendship gives us a feeling of security and warmth, and friendship encourages us to go ahead all the time.
everyone needs friends and is eager to get friendship. when we feel happy, we can share our happiness with friends. when we feel gloomy, friends will comfort us. if we are arrogant, our friends can persuade us, and they can make us confident and brave when we are discouraged.
friendship is valuable. it can touch your heart and give you hope. many people are proud of having a good friend. true friendship must be sincere and must not have conditions. if you help your friends for no reason but simply because they are your friends, this means that you regard your friends as yourself. this is true friends.
true friendship should be based on mutual understanding, not on mutual benefit. moreover, both must also have similar ideals. if not, their friendship still cannot last long. sometimes, people have good friends when they are young and studying in school. however, after graduation, when they are working in the society, their friendship will soon come to an end.最新初三畢業(yè)英語(yǔ)演講稿
mutual understanding doesn’t always mean that we should know every thing of our friends. it means that they have similar ideals and trust each other. on the other hand, doing similar things can build up the friendship.
in fact, friendship isn’t always easily kept. when you want to keep a friend, you should treat him or her like you want to be treated. keep the secrets that your friend tells you. keep your promise with your friend. share things with your friend. stick up for your friend. we should try our best to protect the friendship from being hurt. as an old saying goes, "friendship cannot stand always on one side." true friendship should be able to stand all kinds of tests.
because of friendship, our lives are full of happiness. therefore, the more friends we have, the more pleasure we can share with them. let’s say "thank you" to our friends for their love and care. no matter where we go or who we become, never forget to keep the beautiful friendship!最新初三畢業(yè)英語(yǔ)演講稿

首先,我們要培養(yǎng)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的興趣。讓學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)中去尋找歡樂(lè),在歡樂(lè)中找到興趣,在興趣中下決心,在決心中培養(yǎng)毅力,即動(dòng)因 興趣 決心 持之以恒=成績(jī)。當(dāng)然開(kāi)始學(xué)英語(yǔ)時(shí)不要追求太高,太難。指導(dǎo)學(xué)生從簡(jiǎn)單的,有趣的,好笑的開(kāi)始使學(xué)生找出適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)興趣。同時(shí)引導(dǎo)他們“from easy to difficult.”。并允許學(xué)生出錯(cuò),不要追求每個(gè)單詞都正確。,
其次,學(xué)生有了興趣,幫助他們制定計(jì)劃。每天看英語(yǔ)材料和聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)廣播,尋找學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境,生活范圍有多大,學(xué)英語(yǔ)的天地就有多寬廣,利用一切機(jī)會(huì)去接觸英語(yǔ)。在課堂上讓學(xué)生試著講英語(yǔ),平時(shí)同學(xué)之間交流時(shí)多用英語(yǔ),鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生不要怕出錯(cuò),錯(cuò)了沒(méi)關(guān)系。同時(shí)要建立每周學(xué)習(xí)生詞的目標(biāo),在記錄詞匯本里,記錄各種各樣的生詞,短語(yǔ)。因?yàn)閷W(xué)好英語(yǔ)必須要有詞匯作基礎(chǔ),要打持久戰(zhàn);記單詞要打游擊戰(zhàn)。就能做到“from little to more”。
學(xué)英語(yǔ)如同交朋友,在不同的場(chǎng)合接觸就可能記牢,不能孤立的記單詞,要記住它的左鄰右舍。同時(shí)很有必要指導(dǎo)學(xué)生大量的閱讀,這對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)有是非常重要的,多了解西方文化,學(xué)習(xí)西方習(xí)慣,掌握大量的語(yǔ)言背景是學(xué)習(xí)的又一條重要途徑。那么就達(dá)到from chinese to english。我們最終要達(dá)到目的 “from english to english ,from english to chinese ”
最后,讓學(xué)生在苦中享受歡樂(lè),越學(xué)越有趣,從被動(dòng)變主動(dòng),從要我學(xué)變?yōu)槲乙獙W(xué).
