戴維·格林納威校長,
老師和同學(xué)們,
女士們,先生們:
professor david greenaway, vice-chancellor of the university of nottingham,
faculty members and students,
ladies and gentlemen,
很高興首次來到諾丁漢市和諾丁漢大學(xué)訪問。諾丁漢大學(xué)被譽(yù)為英國環(huán)境最優(yōu)美的大學(xué)之一,我剛才走入校園,確實(shí)感覺風(fēng)景如畫。
i am delighted to be on my first visit to the city of nottingham and your picturesque university, which lives up to its reputation as one of the most beautiful campuses in the uk.
最近英國和中國正同時(shí)熱映一部電影——《羅賓漢》,據(jù)說,這位劫富濟(jì)貧的綠林好漢當(dāng)年就活躍在諾丁漢郊外的舍伍德森林里。許多中國觀眾都被電影中的旖旎自然風(fēng)光和濃郁英倫文化所陶醉。我想,你們聽了這個(gè)消息會(huì)很高興,因?yàn)閬碛闹袊慰蛿?shù)量又要增加了,來諾丁漢大學(xué)讀書的中國學(xué)生也會(huì)更多了。
the recent film robin hood has been a big hit with audiences both in china and here in the uk. the story as i am sure you know, is about a man who robbed from the rich to give to the poor, while living in sherwood forest on the outskirts of nottingham. but it has been as much about the stunning natural beauty and rich british culture depicted in the film, which has fascinated a lot of chinese viewers. i believe this is great news for you, as nottingham should e_pect to receive more visitors from china, and university of nottingham will be home to more chinese students.
創(chuàng)建于1881年的諾丁漢大學(xué),是英國排名前十的高等學(xué)府。2024年,諾丁漢大學(xué)同時(shí)產(chǎn)生了兩位諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)獲得者,一時(shí)傳為佳話。諾丁漢大學(xué)的校訓(xùn)是"城市建于智慧"(a city is built on wisdom.)。的確,一流大學(xué)是杰出城市的堅(jiān)強(qiáng)后盾,既作為經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī),又充當(dāng)城市的思想庫。這不由得使我想起正在舉辦的上海世博會(huì)的主題—— 城市讓生活更美好(better city, better life.)。兩者相映成趣。
founded in 1881, the university of nottingham is amongst the top 10 institutions of higher learning in the uk. people won"t forget that in 2024 alone, two nobel prize winners were nottingham graduates.
諾丁漢大學(xué)不僅以深厚學(xué)術(shù)研究著稱,還以學(xué)校的國際化聞名,特別是與中國具有很密切的聯(lián)系和合作。目前諾丁漢大學(xué)本部的中國學(xué)生超過 1300名;創(chuàng)建于2024年的諾丁漢大學(xué)中國校區(qū),即寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)是中國第一家引進(jìn)世界優(yōu)質(zhì)高教資源的中外合作大學(xué);諾丁漢大學(xué)的當(dāng)代中國研究中心在歐洲處于領(lǐng)先水平;諾丁漢大學(xué)與復(fù)旦大學(xué)合辦的孔子學(xué)院持續(xù)發(fā)展。我知道,你們都擔(dān)心我忘了還有最重要的一項(xiàng),那就是你們來自中國的名譽(yù)校長——楊福家教授。
apart from its intellectual e_cellence, the university of nottingham is also famous in china for its close ties and cooperation with my country. over 1,300 chinese students currently studying at its uk campuses. even more importantly, with the setting up of the ningbo campus in 2024, nottingham became the first foreign university to establish an independent campus in china. there are other factors as well. the school of contemporary chinese studies is a leading institution of china studies in britain. the confucius institute jointly run by the university of nottingham and fudan university has been doing well. all this has been achieved through the hard work of many, not least your chancellor – professor yang fujia.
今天我演講的主題是中國在世界經(jīng)濟(jì)中的作用。這是格林納威校長給我出的題目。這個(gè)題目,如果在30多年前被提出,可能屬于一個(gè)"冷門"話題。但在今天,這是我們必須認(rèn)識(shí)、思考的重大現(xiàn)實(shí)問題,因?yàn)橹袊c世界經(jīng)濟(jì)已是風(fēng)雨同舟,興衰與共。我認(rèn)為,中國對(duì)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)的作用主要體現(xiàn)在以下四個(gè)方面:
i have been asked to talk about china"s role in the world economy today, a topic that would be unimaginable 30 years ago. but china is now an integral part of the world economy:
第一,中國是世界經(jīng)濟(jì)和貿(mào)易增長的引擎。改革開放32年來,中國的gdp總量由1978年的2600多億美元增加到去年的4.9萬億美元,實(shí)現(xiàn)了年均10%左右的增長,相應(yīng)地,中國對(duì)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)的貢獻(xiàn)率也大幅提升。1978年,中國對(duì)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的拉動(dòng)為0.1個(gè)百分點(diǎn),貢獻(xiàn)率為2.3%;到國際金融危機(jī)前的2024年,中國對(duì)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的拉動(dòng)已提高到0.7個(gè)百分點(diǎn),貢獻(xiàn)率上升到19.2%,位居世界第一。2024年和2024年,由于很多發(fā)達(dá)國家經(jīng)濟(jì)陷入衰退或低增長,而中國經(jīng)濟(jì)分別保持增長9%和8.7%,中國對(duì)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的貢獻(xiàn)率更是大幅提高。根據(jù)世界銀行副行長林毅夫先生的預(yù)測(cè),2024年估計(jì)全球經(jīng)濟(jì)增長2.7%,假定中國經(jīng)濟(jì)繼續(xù)增長8%,那么在2.7%的增長當(dāng)中,中國的貢獻(xiàn)率將進(jìn)一步提升到30%。
firstly, china has become an important driver for the world economy and trade. over the 32 years of reform and opening-up, china"s gdp has grown from 260 billion us dollars in 1978 to 4.9 trillion, an average annual growth rate of about 10%. and as its gdp grows, so china"s contribution to the world economy also increases. in 1978, china contributed 0.1 percentage point or 2.3% to global economic growth, but by 2024, these figures had jumped to 0.7 percentage point and 19.2%, making china the biggest contributor among all countries. in 2024 and 2024 when many developed countries slid into recession, china continued to grow at 9% and 8.7% respectively, contributing still more to the world economy. and as world bank vice president justin yifu lin has estimated, the global economy will grow by 2.7% this year and 30% of that growth will come from china if it sustains an 8% growth rate.
在全球化的大背景下,國際貿(mào)易是全球經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的助推器。1978年,中國進(jìn)出口貿(mào)易總額為206億美元,占世界貿(mào)易比重僅為 0.8%;2024年,中國對(duì)外貿(mào)易額達(dá)到2.56萬億美元,占世界貿(mào)易的7.9%。2024年,由于受國際金融危機(jī)的影響,中國對(duì)外貿(mào)易額下降至2.2 萬億美元,但在世界貿(mào)易總額中的比重,卻由2024年的7.9%提高到9%,成為世界第一大出口國和第二大進(jìn)口國,對(duì)外貿(mào)易總量居世界第二。世貿(mào)組織發(fā)布的《2024年世界貿(mào)易報(bào)告》認(rèn)為,中國正成為全球貿(mào)易增長的引擎。
in 1978, china"s trade was 20.6 billion us dollars or 0.8% of the world"s total, these figures had grown in 2024 to 2.56 trillion and 7.9%. however, as a result of the financial crisis, china"s trade dropped to 2.2 trillion us dollars in 2024, although accounting for 9% of that year"s world total, making china the world"s largest e_porter and second largest importer. according to the world trade report 2024 by the world trade organisation (wto), china is becoming the engine driving trade growth globally.
第二、中國是危機(jī)時(shí)刻負(fù)責(zé)任、可信賴的伙伴。1997年,亞洲金融危機(jī)爆發(fā),當(dāng)時(shí),全世界幾乎異口同聲地宣稱:人民幣應(yīng)當(dāng)貶值,否則中國經(jīng)濟(jì)將面臨滅頂之災(zāi)。然而,政府經(jīng)過多方面權(quán)衡,本著高度負(fù)責(zé)的態(tài)度,從維護(hù)本地區(qū)穩(wěn)定和發(fā)展的大局出發(fā),做出人民幣不貶值的決定,承受了巨大壓力,付出了很大代價(jià)。此舉對(duì)亞洲乃至世界金融、經(jīng)濟(jì)的穩(wěn)定和發(fā)展起到了重要作用。
secondly, china is a reliable partner in times of crisis. during the 1997 asian financial crisis, many were e_pecting the rmb to depreciate or the chinese economy would be ruined. china decided to keep the value of the rmb as it was. this decision put china under huge pressure for which it has paid a price. it did however help to uphold the financial and economic stability and development in asia and the world.
2024年,國際金融危機(jī)爆發(fā),中國首先努力做好自己的事情,及時(shí)調(diào)整了宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)政策,果斷實(shí)施積極的財(cái)政政策和適度寬松的貨幣政策,出臺(tái)了旨在進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大內(nèi)需、促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長的一攬子計(jì)劃。同時(shí),中國積極倡導(dǎo)國際合作,提出了國際社會(huì)攜手應(yīng)對(duì)、共克時(shí)艱的理念;加強(qiáng)與主要經(jīng)濟(jì)體宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)政策的協(xié)調(diào);積極參與二十國集團(tuán)峰會(huì)進(jìn)程;堅(jiān)決反對(duì)貿(mào)易保護(hù)主義,維護(hù)世界自由貿(mào)易體系;積極加強(qiáng)雙邊、區(qū)域和多邊經(jīng)貿(mào)合作,組織大型采購團(tuán)赴海外采購;中國還承諾購買不超過500億美元的國際貨幣基金組織債券。中國在國際社會(huì)應(yīng)對(duì)金融危機(jī)的過程中,扮演了重要角色,發(fā)揮了建設(shè)性作用。
in 2024 when the international financial crisis broke out, china made timely adjustments to its macroeconomic policy, quickly putting together a stimulus package aimed at e_panding domestic demands and stimulating economic growth. china also called on countries to weather the storm together. we strengthened macro policy coordination with other leading economies and took an active part in the g20 summits. china called for free trade and intensified business cooperation bilaterally, regionally and multilaterally, through sending buying missions overseas, among others. china also committed itself to buying up to 50 billion us dollars in international monetary fund (imf) bonds.
不久前,歐洲一些國家出現(xiàn)主權(quán)債務(wù)危機(jī),中國堅(jiān)定支持歐元區(qū)和國際貨幣基金組織聯(lián)手啟動(dòng)救援機(jī)制。中國沒有拋售歐元資產(chǎn),給歐元以巨大支持。就在本月,中國國務(wù)院副總理張德江訪問了希臘,兩國企業(yè)簽署了14項(xiàng)商業(yè)協(xié)議,包括中方在希臘建造干散貨船,開發(fā)賓館和購物中心,建設(shè)機(jī)場(chǎng)、物流中心和海洋主題公園,進(jìn)口希臘生產(chǎn)的橄欖油等,協(xié)議總額近100億歐元。這對(duì)希臘來說無疑是雪中送炭。同樣是本月,中國與冰島簽署了金額為35億元人民幣(約合5億美元)的雙邊本幣互換協(xié)議,這既有利于中冰雙邊貿(mào)易,也有助于冰島經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇。
during the recent european sovereign debt crisis, china stood firmly behind the euro zone and the imf as they worked together to launch an aid plan, by not selling its euro assets. and during a recent visit to greece, the chinese vice premier zhang dejiang took with him 14 much-needed agreements worth nearly 10 billion euros. these ranged from the construction of bulk cargo ships, airport facilities, a logistic hub and an ocean park, to the purchase of olive oil. this month has also seen china signing a bilateral currency swap agreement with iceland, worth about 500 million us dollars to facilitate bilateral trade and to help with the economic recovery of iceland.
就在一周前,鑒于當(dāng)前全球經(jīng)濟(jì)逐步復(fù)蘇,中國經(jīng)濟(jì)回升向好的基礎(chǔ)進(jìn)一步鞏固及經(jīng)濟(jì)運(yùn)行趨于平穩(wěn),中國宣布進(jìn)一步推進(jìn)人民幣匯率形成機(jī)制改 革,增強(qiáng)人民幣匯率彈性。此舉受到國際社會(huì)的普遍歡迎。
just a week ago, china announced further steps to reform the rmb e_change rate regime and enhance the rmb"s e_change rate fle_ibility, as the world economy improves and china"s economic recovery is on a solid footing.
第三,中國是國際金融體系改革的堅(jiān)定推動(dòng)者。國際金融危機(jī)的爆發(fā)和蔓延,充分暴露了國際金融體系的諸多缺陷與弊端,同時(shí)也強(qiáng)有力地表明了國際金融體系改革的必要性和緊迫性。中國支持二十國集團(tuán)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人峰會(huì)成為國際社會(huì)共同應(yīng)對(duì)國際金融危機(jī)、加強(qiáng)國際經(jīng)濟(jì)合作的重要和有效平臺(tái)。在2024年美國華盛頓召開的二十國集團(tuán)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人首次金融峰會(huì)上,中國__胡先生提出堅(jiān)持全面性、均衡性、漸進(jìn)性、實(shí)效性的原則,推動(dòng)國際金融體系改革朝著公平、公正、包容、有序方向發(fā)展,營造有利于世界經(jīng)濟(jì)健康發(fā)展的制度環(huán)境。此后,無論是倫敦峰會(huì)、匹茲堡峰會(huì)還是上周末舉行的多倫多峰會(huì),中國都堅(jiān)定地主張加快國際金融機(jī)構(gòu)改革,加強(qiáng)國際金融監(jiān)管。
thirdly, china stands for the reform of the international financial system. the recent financial crisis has laid bare many deficiencies in the international financial system. china supports the g20 summit"s role as a major and effective platform for international efforts to tackle the financial crisis and step up economic cooperation. president hu jintao proposed, at the washington g20 summit in 2024, an all-round, balanced, incremental and result-oriented approach to move the reforms in a more equitable, inclusive and well-managed direction. at more recent summits in london, pittsburgh and last weekend in toronto, china called for the speeding up of reform to the international financial institutions (ifis) and for tougher financial regulation.
中國通過"金磚四國"領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人會(huì)談、中非合作論壇等平臺(tái),增進(jìn)新興市場(chǎng)國家和發(fā)展中國家在改革國際金融體系問題上的共識(shí),推動(dòng)提高發(fā)展中國家在國際金融機(jī)構(gòu)中的代表性和發(fā)言權(quán),共同促進(jìn)國際金融體系的變革。中國積極主張完善國際貨幣體系,健全儲(chǔ)備貨幣發(fā)行調(diào)控機(jī)制,保持主要儲(chǔ)備貨幣匯率相對(duì)穩(wěn)定,促進(jìn)國際貨幣體系多元化、合理化。
china has worked for more agreement among the emerging markets and developing countries on the reforms to increase the representation for developing countries in the ifi"s. china calls for the improvement of the international monetary system and the reserve currency issuing regime, along with the stabilisation of the e_change rates of major reserve currencies.
第四、中國是綠色和低碳經(jīng)濟(jì)的帶頭實(shí)踐者。金融危機(jī)后,世界經(jīng)濟(jì)正在尋找新的增長點(diǎn),面臨新的轉(zhuǎn)型,新能源革命和低碳經(jīng)濟(jì)是一個(gè)重要趨勢(shì)。政府高度重視發(fā)展綠色經(jīng)濟(jì)與應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化,我們從自身實(shí)際出發(fā),借鑒國際經(jīng)驗(yàn),把可持續(xù)發(fā)展作為國家戰(zhàn)略,把建設(shè)資源節(jié)約型、環(huán)境友好型社會(huì)作為重大任務(wù),把節(jié)能減排作為國民經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)發(fā)展的約束性指標(biāo),公布了應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化的國家方案。政府向國際社會(huì)莊重承諾:到2024年中國單位國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值二氧化碳排放比2024年下降40%—45%。中國正大力發(fā)展水電、核電、太陽能和風(fēng)電,不少項(xiàng)目的規(guī)模已經(jīng)處于世界第一。我們的目標(biāo)是到2024年,非化石能源占一次能源消費(fèi)的比重要達(dá)到15%左右,這一數(shù)字與歐盟20%的目標(biāo)相接近。中國也提出到2024年使森林面積比2024年增加4000萬公頃,這是英國的國土面積的1.6倍。
fourth, china leads international efforts for a green and low-carbon economy. the chinese government places high importance on growing the green economy and addressing climate challenges based on our national conditions and also drawing upon international e_perience on sustainable development. we have given priority to building an energy-conserving and environment-friendly society, and we are making energy conservation and emissions control part of our mandatory economic and social development targets. we are pledging as part of our national climate change program, to cut energy intensity by 40-45% by 2024 against the 2024 level. china is also developing its hydro, nuclear, solar and wind power generation schemes in a massive scale. and we e_pect to increase the proportion of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 15% by 2024. we have also proposed to increase forest coverage by 40 million hectares or appro_imately 1.6 times the size of britain by 2024 against 2024 levels.
綜上所述,中國在世界經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長、穩(wěn)定、改革和轉(zhuǎn)型等方面,都發(fā)揮著不可或缺的作用,中國已成為促進(jìn)世界繁榮的積極和重要力量。
當(dāng)然,我們剛才計(jì)算中國的經(jīng)濟(jì)數(shù)字時(shí),使用的都是總量,如果將這些數(shù)字除以中國13多億的人口,就會(huì)得到另一組截然不同的數(shù)字。比如,2024年中國人均gdp僅有3600多美元,排名居世界第100位,屬于中低收入國家;中國人均貿(mào)易額只有1600美元左右,低于世界平均3700 多美元,僅為英國的1/5。此外,中國13億人口中,仍有7億多農(nóng)村人口;按照聯(lián)合國每人每天1美元的貧困線標(biāo)準(zhǔn),中國仍有1.5億貧困人口;中國城鄉(xiāng)、地區(qū)發(fā)展也很不平衡,東部和西部的人均gdp差距在3倍以上。這就是中國的基本國情,中國既大又小,既強(qiáng)又弱;中國正在發(fā)展,但任重而道遠(yuǎn)。這如同一枚硬幣的兩個(gè)面。
any understanding of the nature of china"s economic development would not be complete without a look at the other side of the story. all the economic figures i have outlined will be much less impressive once they are divided by our 1.3 billion population. for instance, china"s per capita gdp in 2024 was only 3,600 us dollars, ranking behind albania to be the 100th in the world; its per capita trade value stood at 1,600 us dollars, much lower than the world average of 3,700 us dollars, and one fifth of that of britain. out of the 1.3 billion people in china, 700 million live in the poor countryside; with 150 million living under 1 dollar a day, the poverty line set by un. china also faces the huge challenge of serious income disparity between regions and between urban and rural areas. this is the fact we face: china is both big and small, strong and weak; it is developing and this process is going to be long and tortuous.
女士們、先生們,
ladies and gentlemen,
中國的發(fā)展,有利于世界,也有利于英國。近年來,在中英兩國政府的積極推動(dòng)下,雙邊經(jīng)貿(mào)合作不斷深化,成效顯著。英國目前是中國在歐盟內(nèi)第三大貿(mào)易伙伴、最大的投資來源地和主要投資目的國,中國是英國在歐盟外第二大貿(mào)易伙伴。盡管2024年中英雙邊貿(mào)易受到金融危機(jī)影響有所下滑,但今年1至 4月,中英貨物貿(mào)易恢復(fù)強(qiáng)勁增長,貿(mào)易總額達(dá)138.1億美元,同比增長29.8%。
china"s development is in the interest of the uk. thanks to the efforts of both our sides, our business cooperation has made much progress in recent years. the uk is china"s third largest trade partner, the largest investor and a leading investment destination in the eu. china is the second largest trade partner of the uk outside the eu and despite a drop in our trade in 2024 due to the crisis, trade in goods has quickly picked up in the first 4 months of this year, hitting 13.81 billion us dollars, an increase of 29.8%.
我此次來英格蘭中部和西北部地區(qū)考察,行程總共800多英里,主要目的是實(shí)地了解英國的經(jīng)濟(jì)特色和產(chǎn)業(yè)優(yōu)勢(shì),特別是了解英國的高端制造業(yè)和新能源技術(shù)。通過考察,我深刻認(rèn)識(shí)到中英兩國經(jīng)濟(jì)存在很大的互補(bǔ)性,雙方合作空間巨大,前景廣闊。我認(rèn)為,進(jìn)一步發(fā)展中英經(jīng)貿(mào)合作,需要從以下三個(gè)方面著手:
my trip to the english midlands and north western has taken me on an 800-mile journey, and has helped me to understand the distinct features and strong sectors of the british economy, in particular high-end manufacturing and new energy technologies. my impression is that our economies have a lot to offer each other and our cooperation can flourish. to achieve this, i would suggest:
一是要深挖合作潛力。雙方要在大項(xiàng)目上尋求突破,比如,中國正在開展"大飛機(jī)"項(xiàng)目,英國要修建縱貫?zāi)媳钡母咚勹F路,雙方可探討合作的可能性。雙方還要在前沿領(lǐng)域打造亮點(diǎn)。英國是低碳經(jīng)濟(jì)的最早倡導(dǎo)者,擁有較多成熟的新能源技術(shù)和環(huán)境技術(shù),但自身市場(chǎng)容量有限。中國正在轉(zhuǎn)變經(jīng)濟(jì)增長方式,走節(jié)能減排新興工業(yè)化道路,建設(shè)資源節(jié)約型、環(huán)境友好型社會(huì),對(duì)技術(shù)的需求巨大。中方歡迎英方將高新技術(shù)投入到中國的巨大市場(chǎng),實(shí)現(xiàn)科技成果的產(chǎn)業(yè)化和商業(yè)化。
firstly, further tap the potential for cooperation. both sides need to identify major projects where cooperation may be possible. for e_ample, china is working on the "jumbo jet" project while the uk is planning to build a high-speed railway linking its north and south. while the uk is a frontrunner as a low-carbon economy which possesses mature new energy and environmental technologies, its market is not big enough. china is embarking on a new way of industrialisation that conserves energy and properly controls emission. the vast chinese market is e_actly where the uk can put its scientific achievements and knowledge to good use.
二是要擴(kuò)大合作主體。雙方不僅要著眼大企業(yè)、大項(xiàng)目,更要大力促進(jìn)中小企業(yè)合作。中、英中小企業(yè)數(shù)量均占企業(yè)總量的99%以上,對(duì)gdp的貢獻(xiàn)都在一半以上。英國的中小企業(yè)生產(chǎn)效率高,產(chǎn)品科技含量大,設(shè)計(jì)創(chuàng)新能力強(qiáng),組織管理工作出色。中國中小企業(yè)多為勞動(dòng)密集型企業(yè),市場(chǎng)反應(yīng)靈敏,生產(chǎn)供貨速度快,近年一些科技型中小企業(yè)亦正在興起。中英兩國政府部門和行業(yè)組織應(yīng)加大努力,幫助兩國中小企業(yè)克服語言、信息和人才障礙,更好地實(shí)現(xiàn)雙方能力和需求的順利對(duì)接、技術(shù)和生產(chǎn)的有效配合。
secondly, e_pand cooperation at all levels. with sme"s accounting for over 99% of all businesses in china and britain, and contributing over half of our total gdp, they are therefore key to the success of future growth between us. british smes being generally well-run and known for their productivity, advanced technology and innovation, while in recent years we have seen a rise in the number of technology-based smes in china. these tend to be labour-intensive, but highly responsive to market demands. the two sides need to work harder to help and support smes, by removing obstacles such as language and lack of information, to translate our mutual needs into effective cooperation.
三是要改善合作環(huán)境。要加強(qiáng)宣傳推介,特別是利用上海世博會(huì)、倫敦奧運(yùn)會(huì)這樣的重大平臺(tái),介紹自己的產(chǎn)業(yè)優(yōu)勢(shì)。要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造有利于技術(shù)輸出的市場(chǎng)環(huán)境,特別是加大知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù),使將技術(shù)視為命根子的企業(yè)放心地輸出最新、最好的技術(shù),并獲得滿意的回報(bào)。要加大金融支持雙邊貿(mào)易的力度,特別是加大信貸支持力度,拓寬企業(yè)直接融資渠道。
thirdly, improve the environment for cooperation. we need to foster a market environment that facilitates technology transfer through better protection for intellectual property rights (ipr), to ensure companies are confident when sharing their latest and best technologies. we also need to provide better financial services to support trade, especially by lending more and providing businesses with more financial support.
女士們、先生們,
ladies and gentlemen,
我高興地看到,英國新政府致力于發(fā)展"更緊密的英中關(guān)系",兩國高層交往密切,互動(dòng)頻繁。就在前天,__和卡梅倫首相在g20多倫多峰會(huì)期間進(jìn)行了富有成果的會(huì)晤。__在會(huì)晤中指出,"中方把英國看作重要的國際合作伙伴。中英在推動(dòng)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)全面復(fù)蘇、應(yīng)對(duì)全球性挑戰(zhàn)方面具有廣泛共同利益。"兩國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人達(dá)成的這些重要共識(shí),對(duì)推動(dòng)下階段中英關(guān)系的發(fā)展具有重要意義。同時(shí),上海世博會(huì)極大地促進(jìn)了兩國經(jīng)貿(mào)、金融和文化等各領(lǐng)域合作,增進(jìn)了兩國人民之間的了解。可以說,新時(shí)期中英關(guān)系起步良好,正在等待我們加大油門。
i am happy to see that the new british government is committed to closer engagement with china. president hu and prime minster cameron had a good meeting in toronto the day before yesterday, coming to agreement on a number of important issues, which is crucial to continued development of our relations. just as president hu stressed in his meeting with prime minister cameron that "china sees the uk as an important global partner", "the two countries share e_tensive common interests in facilitating global recovery and meeting global challenges. this requires us to take a long-term and strategic view when making plans for our relations, so that we can ensure that our cooperation will better serve our people." the ongoing world e_po has significantly boosted our business, financial and cultural cooperation and has enhanced the mutual understanding of our peoples. it is fair to say that our relationships are off to a good start, all we need to do now is to step on the accelerator.
狄更斯在其名著《遠(yuǎn)大前程》里寫道,"我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)真理,機(jī)會(huì)不會(huì)掉到我們身上,我們必須去尋找機(jī)會(huì)" (i find the truth to be that an opening won"t come to one, but one must go to it.)。讓我們共同努力,尋找機(jī)會(huì),抓住機(jī)遇,推動(dòng)兩國經(jīng)貿(mào)合作不斷深入,促進(jìn)中英關(guān)系不斷發(fā)展。
as charles dickens wrote in great e_pectations, "i find the truth to be that an opening won"t come to one, but one must go to it". let us work together, find the openings, seize the opportunities and move forward our business cooperation, bilateral relations and friendship.
謝謝!
thank you.

大學(xué)英語演講稿:女人不能老
middle-age is a crucial period and middle-aged women are facing even more dangers. youth is still lingering on there, but it can"t stand any carelessness or negligence. staying youth can be likened to climbing a steep hill, while negligence will lead to decrepitude overnight. those who feed on their youth will have to opt otherwise at this stage.
this is a time full of temptations, alluring girls and glamourous women pop up everywhere, making the discomposed men confused and disoriented, leaving behind more and more broken-up families and abandoned wives, thereby leading the middle-aged to the heartfelt realization that women cannot afford to grow old.
beauty parlors are being opened one after another and the cosmetics market is getting more and more prosperous in order to keep the youthful face of women forever fresh.. proper facial care, hair-dressing or aerobics are all necessary for women, but they are only superficial and can not last long. they can in no way do the cosmetic make-ups round-the-clock.. what will become of them after removing the cosmetics from their face?
women need to refine their mind and to make themselves more intellectually prepared 。 they need the sense of security too. we may well say that men"s youth lies in their career while women"s youth relies on their state of mind and cultivation because of the rise of yin and the decline of yang, we can see many capable women devising and calculating with all their might. they used to be very beautiful, and are now still charming, but they are middle-aged after all. how long can they still preserve their diminishing youth?
what are those women after? money? but will they be happy if they have to count the money with their skinny shriveled hands after they have successfully become wealthy old ladies?
maybe they are seeking for spacious houses and limousines. but these are just tools to serve us, just like a motorcycle is for us to ride on, not for us to carry on our shoulders. is it still worth the price if their pursuit has become a burden or a pressure that calls for the sacrifice of their youth?
or maybe they need the money for their children to study abroad. but studying abroad is not the ambition of everyone. as we always say that children have their own luck, we shouldn"t choose the same way for them to grow up. doing business or going in for politics, working at civilian posts or as military officials are different choices for different children. some even want to become chess players and it is such a wonderful career that after becoming successful, they can make playing chess a rewarding profession.. why should we try our best to send our children abroad where there are so many uncertainties? what"s the point of the sacrifice of our precious youth to send our children to somewhere that may be heaven, or hell?
we should be moderate at seeking wealth, for there is no limit for it. a billionaire eats no more than three meals a day and sleeps in one bed at night while a family living on a meager salary can be very happy and healthy. we may feel sometimes that the lu_urious beijing roast duck is no more delicious than the simple pancakes with shallots. only when they keep a peaceful heart can they face both favors and humiliations with composure.
what do the middle-aged women need in order to maintain their youth and doomed decrepitude? fine qualities and good manners, confidence and calmness. don"t do too much e_tra work, don"t tire yourselves out, and never try anything beyond your capacity and energy.
what"s more, they need security and friendship. no matter how strong a man is, he needs support; no matter how independent a woman is, she needs backing. the flowery girls may care about nothing but amusement, and they may not consider even the reliability and capability of a man. middle-aged women, however, are much more practical, and they have to face the loyalty and creativity of a man. what they are seeking is the most loyal, the most responsible, the most powerful, the most reliable and the most trustworthy love which is nearly eternal and unchangeable. any kind of strike may wear away their youth which is once gone never to return.
middle-aged women must keep a clear head instead of doing things out of willfulness. they should be able to judge who is sincere and who is hypocritical. once they choose the hypocritical instead of the sincere out of carelessness, tragedy will definitely fall on them. in fact, one whim may decide whether they will live in heaven or stay in hell.
all women have one weak point—they are easily enchanted by men"s flattery. there"re numerous sweet-tongued men, but loyal ones are hard to find. they may use sweet words to flatter you or they may be soft-spoken and submissive, but that is when they are weak and in need of help. as soon as the situation is different, they may change immediately. we always think the weak is the reliable, but this is misleading. the weak may be pitiable, but not always reliable. reliability doesn"t mean being weak or strong, but depends on whether one can master himself. if someone, when absent from home, does what he dares not do at home, then how can he be regarded as a trustworthy man?
the middle-aged women, with the e_ception of those who work at special posts, needn"t fight too hard. instead, they should encourage men to temper themselves in this world. studying with ease, working with ease, living with ease and facing everything with ease are what middle-aged women should try to do. ease is the symbol of ever-lasting youth and also the glamour of all middle-aged women.

my views on receiving education
in my early years, i did not see the value of education.
when i was going on thirteen, i started to run my own shop. from then on, i worked hard to become a successful businessman.
one day i realized the importance of the english language in the business world and started taking night classes.
i was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of english study. but i started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of english was not enough to make my business successful. i knew that only a well- rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.
when i was eighteen, i had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school. there was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education. i had only completed elementary school up to that point. i then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects. being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than i. i concluded that my age did not matter. the important thing was getting into college.
i took the college entrance e_ams. although my math e_am result was only one point below the required score. i never gave up hope. the following year, i took it again and received the highest score in my city. achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the ne_t step.
i am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn. my passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as i continue to live.
"live and learn." is the motto i have adopted. i believe with an education i will succeed. so, if you are wondering whether education is important, don’t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the opportunity.<
我對(duì)教育的看法
在我小的時(shí)候,我不覺得教育有什么價(jià)值。在13歲的時(shí)候,我開始經(jīng)營我自己的商店。從那時(shí)開始,我為成為一個(gè)成功的商人而努力工作。
一天,我意識(shí)到了英語對(duì)做生意的重要性并且開始上夜校。
在經(jīng)過兩年的英語學(xué)習(xí)之后,我已經(jīng)能夠很流利的和外國顧客交流。但我逐漸意識(shí)到,從長遠(yuǎn)來看,我現(xiàn)在僅有的英語知識(shí)無法使我的生意蓬勃發(fā)展。我知道只有淵博的知識(shí)是我未來成功的保證。
18歲的時(shí)候,我必須在繼續(xù)從商和重新回學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)之間做出選擇。當(dāng)時(shí)我僅有的小學(xué)學(xué)歷成為我接受高等教育的一大障礙。經(jīng)過4個(gè)月各門功課的惡補(bǔ),我又回到了高中。多年后再次回到學(xué)校,讓我有些尷尬。因?yàn)槲业耐嗤瑢W(xué)至少比我小2至3歲。然而在我看來,年齡不是問題,重要的是能上大學(xué)。
我參加了高考。雖然我的數(shù)學(xué)只比分?jǐn)?shù)線低了一分。但我沒有放棄。第二年,我又參加了高考并取得了當(dāng)?shù)氐牡谝幻?。得到這樣一個(gè)令人欣喜的結(jié)果,給了我進(jìn)一步深造的動(dòng)力和膽量。
現(xiàn)在,我上大學(xué)二年級(jí),也知道學(xué)無止境。只要我活者,我對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)和自我充實(shí)的熱情就不會(huì)減退。
"活到老,學(xué)到老"是我的座右銘。我堅(jiān)信只有學(xué)習(xí)才會(huì)使我成功。因此,如果你對(duì)接受教育的重要性有所懷疑,不要猶豫,勇敢的邁出第一步,這樣幸運(yùn)之神便會(huì)光顧你

大學(xué)生英語演講稿:萬歲友誼
every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. my friends will listen to me when i want to speak, will wipe my eyes when i cry, will take care of me when i am sick, and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
as students, we could share more time with our friends. the friendship in our young hearts is pure, fresh and simple. i often feel very lucky to have a lot of good friends. especially when i had justin as one of my best friends. justin was my english teacher from the usa. i met him in 1996 when i was a student who could only speak very little english. justin was a vivid young man with a bright smile on his face, and he always had his special way to make the class active and attractive. he taught us english by telling stories, playing games, singing songs, and even dancing. i could still remember very clearly that one afternoon when we fin-ished our class, we went to some other classes to sing songs for them, just like what people do in the states on christmas eve. it was so interesting and unforgettable.
justin was an e_cellent teacher, because he taught us not only how to study english well, but also the way to find out the beauty of the world and the way to be angels to others" lives. i know there was friendship and pure love in our hearts. facing this valuable emotion neither nationality nor age was important, the real importance lay in faith, under-standing, and care. justin is the best friend i have ever had, and i know i will cherish those days of staying together with him as the best part of my memory.
friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. it is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the sweeter it will be. it is also like a cup of tea. when we are thirsty, it will be our best choice, but when we have enough time to enjoy ourselves, it is also the most fragrant drink.
however, in this fast-developing modern society, the reality is not that. more and more people forget to enjoy the beauty of life and -the beauty of friendship. they work hard in order to gain a higher position, in the society and to earn more money for their work. of course, we don"t deny that it is important to find a bet-ter place in our lives, but we wish more and more people could pay a little more attention to themselves and their friends. all of us have to spare some time for personal lives. we have to find the chance to e_press our emotion and love. when staying with our friends, we can release ourselves completely. we can do whatever we want, we can laugh together, talk together, and even cry to-gether. i should say that being together with our best friends is the most wonderful moment of our lives.
as we know, we would feel lonely if we didn"t even have a friend. but it doesn"t mean we could depend on our friends all the time. there is a famous motto saying that “a friend is like a quilt with cotton wadding, but the real thing that keeps you warm is your own temperature.” it is really true. we have to work hard together with our friends, encourage each other and help each other. when we receive love and friendship, we should repay as much as we can.
finally, let"s pray together now that one day, all of us could find the person we want to find, and could enjoy a real beautiful friendship in our lives. let"s pray the flower of friendship be-tween our friends and us would always bloom brightly in our hearts.

大學(xué)友誼主題英語演講稿篇
ladies and gentlemen:i am honored to be standing here to deliver a speech entitled “friendship”.
the hero’s mother in the movie forrest gump says, “life is a bo_ of chocolates”. i would say that life, with friendship, true friendship particularly, is sweet as honey. it is moonlight cast on the tranquility of a lake on a mid-fall night, enchanting to the soul. it is morning dew on rose petals, pleasant and pleasing to the sense of sight. it is cosy fire on a bitterly cold winter night, warming the heart.
but as helen foster snow remarks, “friendship is no common weed that grows along the way. it’s highly cultivated and watered day by day.” like an infant, it needs constant care; like a young tree, it can not be left to the tender mercies of severe weather. true friendship consists more in “a friend in need” to give to than “a friend in need” to take from. a true friend is a person who can be turned to, who is ready to lend a listening ear, who is willing to share feelings.
friendship should be mutual, otherwise it will be subject to withering like plant in drought. like genuine love, true friendship has to be a two way e_perience. be it the former or the latter, if one e_pects to be solely on the receiving end, then s/he will be too optimistic about it: it is hoping against hope that it will last. love or friendship of this kind is dangerous, as it is contaminated by the dark matter in human nature – selfishness.
not infrequently does friendship need to be cared and tended, fostered and nourished, so that it will “stand at every crossroad, so good and strong and true”.
thank you!

my teacher
two secondary school teachers i remember show how different people can be though engaged in the same profession.
mrs. wang, my philosophy teacher, sent us to sleep less than ten minutes when she started talking in class. when a head nodded, she would point at the dozing student and made threatening remarks. she said that she was bored teaching us. some students in her eyes had no desire to learn. but the other teacher mr. li always had bright eyes in a smiling face and encouraging words which showed that he loved chinese history he was teaching and wanted us to love it too.
when it came to their attitudes to their students, they were different too. after mrs. wang finished her day’s lessens she felt that she had finished her job. once when i asked her a question outside class about a term, she continued with preparation to leave and said that i could bring my question to class ne_t week. before i knew it she had put her keys into her handbag and walked out of the door. in the history class, however, a question even after the bell would still be given attention to by mr. li. he would rush to the board in a last minute attempt to clear up. often he was seen with a number of students standing outside the classroom, discussing the day’s assignment.
their methods of teaching were not like as well. mrs. wang stuck to the te_tbook and trained us how to memorize minute facts. however mr. li brought in films, maps, slides, tapes, anything that would help us learn. once the whole class went to see the ’film lin ze_u’ in order to better understand the history of the opium war from 1840 to 1842.
owing to these contrasts, i do not think i can forget either of my past teachers.

大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮英語演講稿
graduates of yale university, i apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but i want you to do something for me. please, take a ood look around you. look at the classmate on your left. look at the classmate on your right. now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. the person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. and you, in the middle? what can you e_pect? loser. loserhood. loser cum laude.
"in fact, as i look out before me today, i don"t see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. i don"t see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. i see a thousand losers.
"you"re upset. that"s understandable. after all, how can i, lawrence "larry" ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation"s most prestigious institutions? i"ll tell you why. because i, lawrence "larry" ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.
"because bill gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college ropout, and you are not.
"because paul allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.
"and for good measure, because michael dell, no. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.
"hmm . . . you"re very upset. that"s understandable. so let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. most of you, i imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you"ve learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. you"ve established good work habits. you"ve established a network of people that will help you down the road. and you"ve established what will be lifelong relationships with the word "therapy." all that of is good. for in truth, you will need that network. you will need those strong work habits. you will need that therapy.
"you will need them because you didn"t drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to no. 10 or no. 11, like steve ballmer. but then, i don"t have to tell you who he really works for, do i? and for the record, he dropped out of grad school. bit of a late bloomer.
"finally, i realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, "is there anything i can do? is there any hope for me at all?" actually, no. it"s too late. you"ve absorbed too much, think you know too much. you"re not 19 anymore. you have a built-in cap, and i"m not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.
"hmm... you"re really very upset. that"s understandable. so perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. not for you, class of "00. you are a write-off, so i"ll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.
"instead, i want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. i say to you, and i can"t stress this enough: leave. pack your things and your ideas and don"t come back. drop out. start up.
"for i can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . ."
(at this point the oracle ceo was ushered off stage.)

耶魯?shù)漠厴I(yè)生們,我很抱歉——如果你們不喜歡這樣的開場(chǎng)。我想請(qǐng)你們?yōu)槲易鲆患隆U?qǐng)你---好好看一看周圍,看一看站在你左邊的同學(xué),看一看站在你右邊的同學(xué)。
請(qǐng)你設(shè)想這樣的情況:從現(xiàn)在起5年之后,2024年之后,或30年之后,今天站在你左邊的這個(gè)人會(huì)是一個(gè)失敗者;右邊的這個(gè)人,同樣,也是個(gè)失敗者。而你,站在中間的家伙,你以為會(huì)怎樣?一樣是失敗者。失敗的經(jīng)歷。失敗的優(yōu)等生。
說實(shí)話,今天我站在這里,并沒有看到一千個(gè)畢業(yè)生的燦爛未來。我沒有看到一千個(gè)行業(yè)的一千名卓越領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,我只看到了一千個(gè)失敗者。你們感到沮喪,這是可以理解的。為什么,我,埃里森,一個(gè)退學(xué)生,竟然在美國最具聲望的學(xué)府里這樣厚顏地散布異端?我來告訴你原因。因?yàn)椋?,埃里森,這個(gè)行星上第二富有的人,是個(gè)退學(xué)生,而你不是。因?yàn)楸葼?蓋茨,這個(gè)行星上最富有的人——就目前而言---是個(gè)退學(xué)生,而你不是。因?yàn)榘瑐?,這個(gè)行星上第三富有的人,也退了學(xué),而你沒有。再來一點(diǎn)證據(jù)吧,因?yàn)榇鳡枺@個(gè)行星上第九富有的人——他的排位還在不斷上升,也是個(gè)退學(xué)生。而你,不是。
......你們非常沮喪,這是可以理解的。
你們將來需要這些有用的工作習(xí)慣。你將來需要這種"治療"。你需要它們,因?yàn)槟銢]輟學(xué),所以你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)成為世界上最富有的人。哦,當(dāng)然,你可以,也許,以你的方式進(jìn)步到第10位,第11位,就像steve。但,我沒有告訴你他在為誰工作,是吧?
根據(jù)記載,他是研究生時(shí)輟的學(xué),開化得稍晚了些。
現(xiàn)在,我猜想你們中間很多人,也許是絕大多數(shù)人,正在琢磨,"我能做什么? 我究竟有沒有前途?"當(dāng)然沒有。太晚了,你們已經(jīng)吸收了太多東西,以為自己懂得太多。你們?cè)僖膊皇?9歲了。你們有了"內(nèi)置"的帽子,哦,我指的可不是你們腦袋上的學(xué)位帽。
嗯......你們已經(jīng)非常沮喪啦。這是可以理解的。所以,現(xiàn)在可能是討論實(shí)質(zhì)的時(shí)候啦——
絕不是為了你們,2024年畢業(yè)生。你們已經(jīng)被報(bào)銷,不予考慮了。我想,你們就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20萬的可憐工作吧,在那里,工資單是由你兩年前輟學(xué)的同班同學(xué)簽字開出來的。事實(shí)上,我是寄希望于眼下還沒有畢業(yè)的同學(xué)。我要對(duì)他們說,離開這里。收拾好你的東西,帶著你的點(diǎn)子,別再回來。退學(xué)吧,開始行動(dòng)。
我要告訴你,一頂帽子一套學(xué)位服必然要讓你淪落......就像這些保安馬上要把我從這個(gè)講臺(tái)上攆走一樣必然......(此時(shí),larry被帶離了講臺(tái))

what i would like to advise is that "don’t give up your study." most of the courses you have taken are partly for your certificate. you had no choice but to take them. from now on, you may study on your own. i would advise you to work hard at some special field when you are still young and vigorous. your youth will be gone that will never come back to you again. when you are old, and when your energy are getting poorer, you will not be able to as you wish to. even though you have to study in order to make a living, studies will never live up to you. making a living without studying, you will be shifted out in three or five years. at this time when you hope to make it up, you will say it is too late. perhaps you will say, "after graduation and going into the society, we will meet with an urgent problem, that is, to make a living. for this we have no time to study. even though we hope to study, we have no library nor labs, how can we study further?"畢業(yè)典禮英文演講稿
i would like to say that all those who wait to have a library will not study further even though they have one and all these who wait to have a lab will not do e_periments even though they have one. when you have a firm resolution and determination to solve a problem, you will naturally economize on 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, 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.

i decided to be a middle school teacher after college. there are many reasons contribute to this decision.
firstly, when i was a little boy, i have been dreaming of being a teacher. it seemed so fascinate to me and i hope i can make my dream come true.
besides, i like so much to be with middle school students. most of the students at that age are full of youthful spirity and i am sure their passion would pass to me. i will retain all the zest of adolescence.
the most important reason is that our country needs plenty of teachers. so far, teaching is considered a tough and low-income job in china. however, if we have not enough teachers, our future will lack of e_cellent scientist, managers, businessmen, soldiers and even goood workers and farmers. how can our country to be strong and wealthy?
i wish my country to be a better one. i am ready to be a teacher and hope all the persons with lofty ideals may dedicate themselves to this meaningful career.

it is a great pleasure to be here today. this university has been coeducational since 1870, but i do not believe it was on the basis of your accomplishments that a detroit high school girl said , "in choosing a college, you first have to decide whether you want a coeducational school or an educational school." well, we can find both here at michigan, although perhaps at different hours. i came out here today very an_ious to meet the michigan student whose father told a friend of mine that his son"s education had been a real value. it stopped his mother from bragging about him.
i have come today from the turmoil of your capital to the tranquility of your campus to speak about the future of your country. the purpose of protecting the life of our nation and preserving the liberty of our citizens is to pursue the happiness of our people. our success in that pursuit is the test of our success as a nation.
for a century we labored to settle and to subdue a continent. for half a century we called upon unbounded invention and untiring industry to create an order of plenty for all of our people. the challenge of the ne_t half century is whether we have the wisdom to use that wealth to enrich and elevate our national life, and to advance the quality of our american civilization.
your imagination and your initiative and your indignation will determine whether we build a society where progress is the servant of our needs, or a society where old values and new visions are buried under unbridled growth. for in your time we have the opportunity to move not only toward the rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the great society.
the great society rests on abundance and liberty for all. it demands an end to poverty and racial injustice, to which we are totally committed in our time. but that is just the beginning.
the great society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents. it is a place where leisure is a welcome chance to build and reflect, not a feared cause of boredom and restlessness. it is a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community. it is a place where man can renew contact with nature. it is a place which honors creation for its own sake and for what is adds to the understanding of the race. it is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.
but most of all, the great society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. it is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.
so i want to talk to you today about three places where we begin to build the great society -- in our cities, in our countryside, and in our classrooms.
many of you will live to see the day, perhaps 50 years from now, when there will be 400 million americans -- four-fifths of them in urban areas. in the remainder of this century urban population will double, city land will double, and we will have to build homes and highways and facilities equal to all those built since this country was first settled. so in the ne_t 40 years we must re-build the entire urban united states.
aristotle said: "men come together in cities in order to live, but they remain together in order to live the good life." it is harder and harder to live the good life in american cities today. the catalog of ills is long: there is the decay of the centers and the despoiling of the suburbs. there is not enough housing for our people or transportation for our traffic. open land is vanishing and old landmarks are violated. worst of all e_pansion is eroding these precious and time honored values of community with neighbors and communion with nature. the loss of these values breeds loneliness and boredom and indifference.
and our society will never be great until our cities are great. today the frontier of imagination and innovation is inside those cities and not beyond their borders. new e_periments are already going on. it will be the task of your generation to make the american city a place where future generations will come, not only to live, but to live the good life. and i understand that if i stayed here tonight i would see that michigan students are really doing their best to live the good life.
this is the place where the peace corps was started.

chancellor wrighton, members of the board of trustees and the administration, distinguished faculty, class of 1965, hard-working staff, my fellow honorees, proud and relieved parents, calm and serene grandparents, distracted but secretly pleased siblings, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, graduating students, good morning. i am deeply honored that you have asked me here to say a few words at this momentous occasion, that you might find what i have to say worthy of your attention on so important a day at this remarkable institution.
it had been my intention this morning to parcel out some good advice at the end of theseremarks – the "goodness" of that being of course subjective in the e_treme – but then irealized that this is the land of mark twain, and i came to the conclusion that anycommentary today ought to be framed in the sublime shadow of this quote of his: "it"s notthat the world is full of fools, it"s just that lightening isn"t distributed right." … more on mr.twain later.
i am in the business of history. it is my job to try to discern some patterns and themes fromthe past to help us interpret our dizzyingly confusing and sometimes dismaying present.without a knowledge of that past, how can we possibly know where we are and, mostimportant, where we are going? over the years i"ve come to understand an important fact, ithink: that we are not condemned to repeat, as the cliché goes and we are fond of quoting,what we don"t remember. that"s a clever, even poetic phrase, but not even close to the truth.nor are there cycles of history, as the academic community periodically promotes. the bible,ecclesiastes to be specific, got it right, i think: "what has been will be again. what has beendone will be done again. there is nothing new under the sun."
what that means is that human nature never changes. or almost never changes. we havecontinually superimposed our comple_ and contradictory nature over the random course ofhuman events. all of our inherent strengths and weaknesses, our greed and generosity, ourpuritanism and our prurience parade before our eyes, generation after generation aftergeneration. this often gives us the impression that history does repeat itself. it doesn"t. itjust rhymes, mark twain is supposed to have said…but he didn"t (more on him later).
over the many years of practicing, i have come to the realization that history is not a fi_edthing, a collection of precise dates, facts and events (even cogent commencement quotes)that add up to a quantifiable, certain, confidently known, truth. it is a mysterious andmalleable thing. and each generation rediscovers and re-e_amines that part of its past thatgives its present, and most important, its future new meaning, new possibilities and new power.
listen. for most of the forty years i"ve been making historical documentaries, i have beenhaunted and inspired by a handful of sentences from an e_traordinary speech i came acrossearly in my professional life by a neighbor of yours just up the road in springfield, illinois. injanuary of 1838, shortly before his 29th birthday, a tall, thin lawyer, prone to bouts ofdebilitating depression, addressed the young men"s lyceum. the topic that day was nationalsecurity. "at what point shall we e_pect the approach of danger?" he asked his audience. "…shall we e_pect some transatlantic military giant to step the earth and crush us at a blow?"then he answered his own question: "never. all the armies of europe, asia, and africa … couldnot by force take a drink from the ohio [river] or make a track on the blue ridge in a trial of athousand years … if destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. as anation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." it is a stunning,remarkable statement.
that young man was, of course, abraham lincoln, and he would go on to preside over theclosest this country has ever come to near national suicide, our civil war – fought over themeaning of freedom in america. and yet embedded in his e_traordinary, disturbing andprescient words is a fundamental optimism that implicitly acknowledges the geographicalforce-field two mighty oceans and two relatively benign neighbors north and south haveprovided for us since the british burned the white house in the war of 1812.
we have counted on abraham lincoln for more than a century and a half to get it right whenthe undertow in the tide of those human events has threatened to overwhelm and capsize us.we always come back to him for the kind of sustaining vision of why we americans still agree tocohere, why unlike any other country on earth, we are still stitched together by words and, mostimportant, their dangerous progeny, ideas. we return to him for a sense of unity, conscienceand national purpose. to escape what the late historian arthur schlesinger, jr., said is ourproblem today: "too much pluribus, not enough unum."
it seems to me that lincoln gave our fragile e_periment a conscious shock that enabled it tooutgrow the monumental hypocrisy of slavery inherited at our founding and permitted us all,slave owner as well as slave, to have literally, as he put it at gettysburg, "a new birth offreedom."
lincoln"s springfield speech also suggests what is so great and so good about the people whoinhabit this lucky and e_quisite country of ours (that"s the world you now inherit): our workethic, our restlessness, our innovation and our improvisation, our communities and ourinstitutions of higher learning, our suspicion of power; the fact that we seem resolutelydedicated to parsing the meaning between individual and collective freedom; that we arededicated to understanding what thomas jefferson really meant when he wrote thatinscrutable phrase "the pursuit of happiness."
but ladies and gentlemen, the isolation of those two mighty oceans has also helped toincubate habits and patterns less beneficial to us: our devotion to money and guns; ourcertainty – about everything; our stubborn insistence on our own e_ceptionalism, blinding usto that which needs repair, our preoccupation with always making the other wrong, at anindividual as well as global level.
and then there is the issue of race, which was foremost on the mind of lincoln back in 1838. itis still here with us today. the jazz trumpeter wynton marsalis told me that healing thisquestion of race was what "the kingdom needed in order to be well." before the enormousstrides in equality achieved in statutes and laws in the 150 years since the civil war thatlincoln correctly predicted would come are in danger of being undone by our still imperfecthuman nature and by politicians who now insist on a hypocritical color-blindness – after fourcenturies of discrimination. that discrimination now takes on new, sometimes subtler, lessobvious but still malevolent forms today. the chains of slavery have been broken, thank god,and so too has the feudal dependence of sharecroppers as the vengeful jim crow era recedes(sort of) into the distant past. but now in places like – but not limited to – your otherneighbors a few miles as the crow flies from here in ferguson, we see the ghastly remnants ofour great shame emerging still, the shame lincoln thought would lead to national suicide, ourinability to see beyond the color of someone"s skin. it has been with us since our founding.
when thomas jefferson wrote that immortal second sentence of the declaration that begins, "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…," he owned more thana hundred human beings. he never saw the contradiction, he never saw the hypocrisy, andmore important never saw fit in his lifetime to free any one of those human beings, ensuring aswe went forward that the young united states – born with such glorious promise – would bebedeviled by race, that it would take a bloody, bloody civil war to even begin to redress theimbalance.
but the shame continues: prison populations e_ploding with young black men, young black menkilled almost weekly by policemen, whole communities of color burdened by corruptmunicipalities that resemble more the predatory company store of a supposedly bygone erathan a responsible local government. our cities and towns and suburbs cannot become modernplantations.
it is unconscionable, as you emerge from this privileged sanctuary, that a few miles fromhere – and nearly everywhere else in america: baltimore, new york city, north charleston,cleveland, oklahoma, sanford, florida, nearly everywhere else – we are still playing out, sadly,an utterly american story, that the same stultifying conditions and sentiments that brought onour civil war are still on such vivid and unpleasant display. today, today. there"s nothingnew under the sun.
many years after our civil war, in 1883, mark twain took up writing in earnest a novel he hadstarted and abandoned several times over the last half-dozen years. it would be a different kindof story from his celebrated tom sawyer book, told this time in the plain language of hismissouri boyhood – and it would be his masterpiece.
set near here, before the civil war and emancipation, ‘the adventures of huckleberry finn" isthe story of two runaways – a white boy, tom sawyer"s old friend huck, fleeing civilization, anda black man, jim, who is running away from slavery. they escape together on a raft goingdown the mississippi.the novel reaches its moral clima_ when huck is faced with a terrible choice. he believes he has committed a grievous sin in helping jim escape, and he finally writes out a letter, telling jim"s owner where her runaway property can be found. huck feels good about doing this at first, he says, and marvels at "how close i came to being lost and going to hell."
but then he hesitates, thinking about how kind jim has been to him during their adventure. "…somehow," huck says, "i couldn"t seem to strike no place to harden me against him, but only the other kind. i"d see him standing my watch on top of his"n, ‘stead of calling me, so i could go on sleeping; and see how glad he was when i come back out of the fog;…and such like times; and would always call me honey…and do everything he could think of for me, and how good he always was…"
then, huck remembers the letter he has written. "i took it up, and held it in my hand," he says. "i was a-trembling because i"d got to decide, forever, betwi_t two things, and i knowed it. i studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: ‘all right then, i"ll go to hell" – and tore it up."
that may be the finest moment in all of american literature. ernest hemingway thought all of american literature began at that moment.
twain, himself, writing after the civil war and after the collapse of reconstruction, a misunderstood period devoted to trying to enforce civil rights, was actually e_pressing his profound disappointment that racial differences still persisted in america, that racism still festered in this favored land, founded as it was on the most noble principle yet advanced by humankind – that all men are created equal. that civil war had not cleansed our original sin, a sin we continue to confront today, daily, in this supposedly enlightened "post-racial" time.
it is into this disorienting and sometimes disappointing world that you now plummet, i"m afraid, unprotected from the shelter of family and school. you have fresh prospects and real dreams and i wish each and every one of you the very best. but i am drafting you now into a new union army that must be committed to preserving the values, the sense of humor, the sense of cohesion that have long been a part of our american nature, too. you have no choice, you"ve been called up, and it is your difficult, but great and challenging responsibility to help change things and set us right again.
let me apologize to you in advance on behalf of all the people up here. we broke it, but you"ve got to fi_ it. you"re joining a movement that must be dedicated above all else – career and personal advancement – to the preservation of this country"s most enduring ideals. you have to learn, and then re-teach the rest of us that equality – real equality – is the hallmark and birthright of all americans. thankfully, you will become a vanguard against a new separatism that seems to have infected our ranks, a vanguard against those forces that, in the name of our great democracy, have managed to diminish it. then, you can change human nature just a bit, to appeal, as lincoln also implored us, to appeal to "the better angels of our nature." that"s the objective. and i know, i know you can do it.
ok. rounding third.
let me speak directly to the graduating class. (watch out. here comes the advice.)
remember: black lives matter. all lives matter.
reject fundamentalism wherever it raises its ugly head. it"s not civilized. choose to live in thebedford falls of "it"s a wonderful life," not its oppressive opposite, pottersville.
do not descend too deeply into specialism. educate all of your parts. you will be healthier.
replace cynicism with its old-fashioned antidote, skepticism.
don"t confuse monetary success with e_cellence. the poet robert penn warren once warnedme that "careerism is death."
try not to make the other wrong.
be curious, not cool.
remember, insecurity makes liars of us all.
listen to jazz. a lot, a lot. it is our music.
read. the book is still the greatest manmade machine of all – not the car, not the tv, not thecomputer or the smartphone.
do not allow our social media to segregate us into ever smaller tribes and clans, fiercely andsometimes appropriately loyal to our group, but also capable of metastasizing into profounddistrust of the other.
serve your country. by all means serve your country. but insist that we fight the right wars.governments always forget that.
convince your government that the real threat, as lincoln knew, comes from within.governments always forget that, too. do not let your government outsource honesty,transparency or candor. do not let your government outsource democracy.
vote. elect good leaders. when he was nominated in 1936, franklin delano roosevelt said, "better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than theconsistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference." we alldeserve the former. and insist on it.
insist that we support science and the arts, especially the arts. they have nothing to do withthe actual defense of the country – they just make our country worth defending.
be about the "unum," not the "pluribus."
do not lose your enthusiasm. in its greek etymology, the word enthusiasm means simply, "god in us."
and even though lightning still isn"t distributed right, try not to be a fool. it just gets marktwain riled up a bit.
and if you ever find yourself in huck"s spot, if you"ve "got to decide betwi_t two things," do theright thing. don"t forget to tear up the letter. he didn"t go to hell – and you won"t either.
so we come to an end of something today – and for you also a very special beginning. godspeed to you all.

thank you. (applause.) thank you all so much. thank you. well, you guys rest yourselves. you’ve been very busy. (laughter.) you’re being spoken to a lot. i hear my husband was here. (laughter.) but it is truly a pleasure to be here with all of you today, and i want to thank you so much for joining us for this year’s college opportunity day of action. you should be proud. we’re already proud of you, and this day has just already been a tremendous success.
of course i want to start by thanking homero. i mean, he’s just an amazing story, an amazingperson, and i’m grateful for that wonderful introduction. we have to give him another round ofapplause. (applause.) a clear reminder of why we’re here today and what we’re working for.
i also want to recognize the jack kent cooke foundation, as well as the lumina foundation, forhelping to make this event possible. let’s give them a round of applause as well. (applause.)
and of course, as we come together to talk about the importance of college counseling, iespecially want to recognize all of the school counselors here today. yes! (applause.) you canraise the roof for yourselves. a little raising the roof. (laughter.) but i think we can all agreethat all of our counselors, all of you have one of the hardest, but most important jobs in oureducation system, yet too often you don’t get the resources, the support or the appreciationthat you need and deserve. and that has serious consequences not just for our kids, but forour country.
i mean, let’s be honest with ourselves – when it comes to college counseling in our nation’sschools, there are two worlds. as many of you know, while the american school counselorassociation recommends no more than 250 students per counselor, the national average is onecounselor for every 471 students. so too many of our kids go through high school with little, ifany, real guidance on how to get into college.
they don’t know what classes to take, or how to prepare for the sat or the act. no one helpsthem decide which colleges to apply to. no one reviews their applications. and plenty of kidshave no idea that they’re eligible for financial aid, so they assume they just can’t afford college,and they don’t even bother to apply.
now, that’s one world. the other world is much smaller – it’s a world of schools where thequestion isn’t where students are going to college, but – or whether they’re going to college,but where. kids in this world start preparing for college long before they even start high school.and from the first day of freshman year, they’ve been shepherded through every step of theprocess. they’ve got sat and act prep courses, they take those tests again and again toimprove their scores. counselors have much smaller caseloads, and they walk kids throughevery deadline, they edit every draft of their essays. honestly, when barack and i talk aboutthis, we look at the kind of college counseling many of the kids are getting today and we wonderhow we ever managed to get ourselves into college.
so the fact is that right now, a small number of students are getting every advantage in thecollege admissions race, while millions of other students who are just as talented can’t evenbegin to compete. (applause.) and as the college presidents here all know, the result is thatcolleges aren’t always getting all of the very best students. they’re getting the students whocan best afford to succeed in this system. and we are leaving behind so many bright, hungry,promise-filled kids. we are depriving ourselves of so much human potential in this country –from the scientific discoveries these kids might make, to the businesses that they might build,to the leadership that they might one day show in our communities.
we’re missing all of that. we’re also losing all of that simply because we aren’t making the basicinvestment in their future today, and that’s a tragedy. it’s a tragedy for our country. it’s atragedy for those kids and for their families, because we all know – we know – that if you wantto secure a decent-paying job in today’s economy, a high school diploma simply isn’t enough.
so unlike 40 or 50 years ago, higher education is no longer just for kids in the top quarter orthe top half of the class, it has to be for everyone. so we are going to need a college-counselingsystem that reflects this new reality. (applause.)
now, that’s easier said than done. we know that this isn’t going to happen overnight. we knowthat states and school systems are facing all kinds of budget challenges. but one of my coremessages to students through my reach higher initiative is that no matter what is going on attheir school or in their family, i’ve been trying to tell kids that no matter what resources theymay have or not have, that they still need to take responsibility for their education. i tell themthat they need to do the work to reach out to teachers who can help them. they need toresearch schools in their communities on their own. they need to find that fafsa form onlineand fill it out.
so my message to all of you is the same: we all need to step up and do what we can with theresources we have, especially when it comes to supporting our school counselors. and that ise_actly what so many of you have done through the commitments you’ve made as part of thissummit.
universities across the country have pledged to create college and career-readiness courses intheir masters programs for school counselors. school districts are partnering with nonprofits andcolleges to provide training for counselors once they’re in our schools. nonprofits are steppingup to improve student-and-counselor ratios and bringing recent graduates into schools toserve as role models and mentors.
and these are just the highlights. altogether, these commitments represent tens of millions ofdollars that will impact hundreds of schools and countless students. these are outstandingcommitments, and we need more efforts like these all across this country. every one of us has arole to play.
so for the superintendents here today, i know you all are struggling with so many demandsunder such tight budgets, but can you do more to support your counselors? can you find waysto – (applause) – yes – shift some of that e_tra burden that falls in their lap, like substituteteaching, case management, e_am proctoring? can you give them more time to actuallycounsel students?
to the college presidents here, can you do even more to make college counseling part of yourmission to get the very best students to your schools? and can the foundations and nonprofitorganizations help in that work? can you rethink the college admissions process to find more ofthose students who’ve got what it takes to succeed but haven’t had the chance to develop theirpotential? can you create college prep centers in your communities and ensure that test-prepclasses are affordable for all of our kids?
and for those of you who are concerned that perhaps this type of involvement might falselyraise hopes of admission to your school – because i’ve heard that as well – just consider the factthat while many of the kids you help might not be the right fit for your college or university,but they will be the right fit for another school, and maybe that other school will help preparestudents for admission to your school. (applause.)
so this is really a collective effort, and everyone can benefit. and as you all step up to take onthese issues, really, i really want to hear about what you’re doing. and that’s one of the reasonswhy i recently announced two new reach higher commencement challenges. i’m askingcolleges to create videos showcasing your work to bring low-income and first-generationstudents to your campuses for peer mentoring, college immersion e_periences and all kind ofwonderful opportunities.
and for the high schools, i want to see videos about what you’re doing to increase your fafsacompletion rates to help more students afford college. and for those schools with the winningvideos, i just might pay a visit around commencement time, if you know what i mean – (laughter) – to let you know how impressed i am.
so i hope that you all will go to reachhigher.gov and get more information, because i’m eagerto see what you all are doing. i know you’re going to do some great things. you see, i know thatthe smallest, most local efforts can make such a difference in the lives of our young people.
and i’m thinking today of a school called la cueva high school in albuquerque, new me_ico. afew years ago, the college counseling staff at that school met with a young woman namedroberta gutierrez during her sophomore year. roberta was an e_cellent student, so they urgedher to take the psat and come up with a list of colleges that she wanted to apply to. now, whileroberta took the test, she never came up with that list – and i’m sure you know why.
but then, at the beginning of roberta’s school year, her counselors learned that she had beennamed a national merit semi-finalist with a psat score in the top 1 percent of the entire state.so the counselors – yes, good stuff – (applause) – the counselors immediately informedroberta that she would be eligible for thousands of dollars in scholarships. and roberta, ofcourse, she was shocked. she told them that she never made the list of colleges because herfamily lived from paycheck to paycheck, so she didn’t think she could afford tuition. she toldthem that just to pay the $15 fee to take the psat, she had to skip lunch for a week.
and after meeting with roberta, the counseling staff decided that no student at their schoolwould ever again have to choose between eating and taking a test that opens the doors tocollege. so they now hold fundraisers – yes. (applause.) they hold fundraisers throughout theschool year to ensure that low-income students can take the psat for free. and they go out oftheir way to tell every family about the financial aid resources that are available for college.
and as for roberta, she is now in her junior year on a full scholarship at the university of newme_ico, and she’s planning to get a phd in psychology – yes. (applause.)
you all know these stories. there are so many kids just like roberta all across this country, andthey’re bright. these kids are determined. these are the kids who have everything it takes tosucceed if we would just give them that chance. and that’s what the counselors and leaders atla cueva high school did for roberta – they gave her a shot at the future she deserved.
and just think about the ripple effect that those counselors will have in transforming just onestudent’s life. think about the difference roberta can make when she gets that phd. think of allthe patients she might treat, all the groundbreaking research she might do. think of the rolemodel that she will be – she already is – inspiring countless young people just like her topursue their dreams.
there are millions of young people like roberta all across this country, and they are counting onus to step up for them. they’re counting on us to give them opportunities worthy of theirpromise. and that is e_actly what all of you are doing every single day. that is the purpose ofthe commitments that you’ve made as part of this summit. that’s why i’m proud and honoredto be here.
and i want to close today simply by saying thank you, truly. thank you. thank you for yourpassion. thank you for your dedication. thank you for your tremendous contributions to thiscountry. i look forward to continuing our work together. we got a lot more stuff to do. and icannot wait to see all that you are going to achieve in the months and years ahead.
so thank you so much. keep it up. and let’s bring more people to the table. you all take care.thanks so much. (applause.)

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。

good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen; when i was in the primary school, i had a dream, i want to invent a device which could bring you from one place to another in no time at all. when i was in the secondary school, my dream was to study in my ideal university. and when eventually i got into the university, my dream was to graduate. how pathetic! when we grow up, we dream less and become more realistic. why? why do we have to change our dreams, so, so in order to let it be “fulfilled”? why do we have to surrender to the so-called “reality”? what is the reality actually?
ladies and gentlemen, the reality is not real. it is barrier keeping us from all possible fantasies. flying, for e_ample, had been a dream to mankind for thousands of years. a hundred years ago, “man could not fly” was still regarded as the “reality”. now if that was really the reality, what did the wright brothers do? how did some of you get to macao? only when we believe that the reality is not real can we soar with our dreams. people say that our future is a battle between the reality and our dreams. and if, unfortunately, mr.reality wins this war, then i see no future of mankind at all. aids will never be curable as this is the reality; people living in the undeveloped countries will suffer from starvation forever as this is the reality; disputes among different countries would never be settled as this misunderstandings and intolerance is the reality.
ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have a dream of being able to make a lot of money? please raise your hands. oh, quite a number of you! actually, ladies and gentlemen, this is not a dream, but a task. every one of us has to make a living, right? anyway i hope your task will be accomplished. how many of you think hat you have already fulfilled your dream and that you don’t dream anymore? dear adjudicators, what do you think? c.s.lewis once said, “you are never too old to dream a new dream. “so for our future, please dream and be unrealistic. now that i am university student, my goal is to graduate with e_cellences. but at the same time, i have dream deeply rooted in our future. one day, people living in the areas now sweltering with the horror of wars will be able to sit with their families and enjoy their every moment. one day, from the rich countries are willing to share what they have with those from the poor countries and those from the countries will eventually be able to make their own happy living themselves. one day , different cultures in this age of globalization will coe_ist with tolerance and the unfriendly confrontations among them will be eliminated. one day, the globe will share the dream with me and we will all contribute to making our dream come true. one day, our dream will defeat the reality!
thank you very much!

hello, everyone. the topic of my speech is: where college dreams come true.
please tell me bravely, do you want to achieve the dream in your heart? sun wu, a military strategist in ancient china, once said: the wise, the faithful, the benevolent, the brave and the strict also. let"s live up to our dreams today under his guidance.
first, the " wisdom" of college students
as a college student, holding his own future in his hand. if there is no great wisdom, then his future must be dim. so how do we realize our wisdom in college? mr lee kai - fu once pointed out in his letter to college students that college students should have the way of self - study, to be able to do the opposite three or even no teacher self - taught. this requires our own reasonable management and use of resources and time, so that we can become a true intellectual in the university.
ii. letters from university students
" letter" is the root of human behavior. " faith" is an intangible but valuable asset. if we want to deal with our personal relationship, we must first do the letter, we always like and keep the promise of people become true friends, and such a true friend in your future career to help you is always money can"t replace.
third, the " benevolence" of college students
" benevolence" is the most basic point of view in chinese confucianism, now can be understood as friendly, as a college student, we should be friendly to everyone in life, maybe he is not good now, but you can"t predict whether he is your boss after five years, ten years.
four, college students " yong"
our college students should face all kinds of challenges bravely. courage is not fearless, but fearful is still forward! in learning and life, when encountered difficulties and criticism need " yong", this time of " yong" is to be able to not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, always adhere to the self in the right direction; and in the learning life e_perience failure when more need " yong", then " yong" is not abandoned, don"t give up, can stand up to success.
five, college students " strict"
as college students, we should strictly require ourselves. can save my body, see _ian si qi, see not _ian is introspection, at the same time proceed with caution, not indulge yourself. but also have a firm perseverance and constant perseverance, such a person is the closest to success. imagine a person at sunset qin chu, three changes a day, how can success care for him? god will only care for those who have the same perseverance.
now, for the sake of our dream in the heart, please shout out these five words with me, i shout a everyone shout a ( come, let"s shout ): wisdom, letter, benevolence, yong, yan.
thank you.

my father
my father always stands in the center of my life, from past till now and possibly in the future.
my family was rather poor when i was in my childhood. we didn"t have our own house and had to live in a shabby, small room rented from my father"s factory. the room was so small that there was little space for people to walk. i didn"t have my own bed and had to sleep with my parents. this is terrible both for my parents and me.
but father made this all different! since the room was on the third floor, namely, the top floor in that old style building, the roof was quite high above the floor. so father got an idea. he bought two thick ropes and a flat wood that later was planed smooth, painted and drilled two holes on both ends.
then he hung the ends of ropes up to the roof. during the daytime, these two ropes would be tied up so that people down could walk freely! when night came, father would loose the ropes and tied them to the two holes of that flat wood. the length of these ropes was just long enough for me to sit or sleep on the board without other"s help.
so in this way my lovely, removable bed was born.
when winter came, this special bed obviously wouldn"t be able to make me feel warm enough. but father always had his so lution! he built a garret using some flat wood and iron sticks right above the bed. with some used iron tubes, he made an iron ladder for us to climb up to the garret. besides, he made a wood en desk for me to do my homework, and some simple furniture for my clothes, books and something else he had in fact made a small bedroom for me.
at first, my mother and i dared not climb for fear that it might collapse. but father climbed it everyday to prove its safety. the garret looked simple even shabby and the ladder seemed to decline soon. but later when i got used to it, i found it as solid as those made by professional carpenters.
i carried all my personal things onto that garret. my father and i pasted red papers on the wall and painted the ugly furniture red. so the garret became the first "room" that belonged to me.when i was about to move to my new house, i just didn"t want to leave. that garret was created with my father"s love and sweat and intelligence, beautified with my hand and filled with so many sweet memories of my family! that hard but sweet life time would live in my memory forever with father stands in the center of it.

good morning, my fellow students. i am very glad to give you a speech about stress.
psychologist tell us that stress is a state of worry caused by the problem of living , such as too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life .statistics show that stress comes from every detail in our life. financial problems, poor health, being laid off, may be the stress that most adults now suffering. as students in the university, we are also under our special stress. such as passing the college english test band four. and the things make us felt stressed may be our parent’s greater e_pectations on us that we could not reach. later, when we are likely to graduate, some other problems will also annoy us. as i see it, we will worry a lot about our ability to compete in the job market and how to use what we’ve learned at college in our future job.
the chief problem we should face to is our attitude towards stress .people usually says they cannot live in the sun e_cept they escape from stress. it is unwelcome! yes, however .just image a world where stress does not e_ist and people lead their life in a very comfortable way. but is this kind of living condition as perfect as we hope? no. without stress, we may feel very satisfied with the current life but lack of interesting to discover new things .too much stress result in nothing e_cept a countermarch of the society. no stress, no development. so a certain amount of stress is right and necessary.
it is a fact that stress really e_ists in the word. how to do with ourselves when stress suddenly breaks into our life? wave the white flag, give up, or just want to suicide as to put an end to everything … of cause not. we should try our best to release ourselves, such as to do sports, to take a rest and to learn to view these changes of life as challenges .it’s no use crying over spilt milk. only to accept what has happened can solve the problem.
well, i have to say i was under large stress three minutes before, but now i am here and have finished my speech. here is the last thing i want to add to my topic, face to it and overcome it. stress is also a piece of cake……
印度總理莫迪清華大學(xué)英語演講稿
qiu yong, president of tsinghua university,
foreign minister wang yi,
shi yigong, assistant president of tsinghua university,
i am truly delighted to be at the tsinghua university today.
you are a world class institution. you are a symbol of success of china’s education sector.
you are the foundation for china’s economic miracle. you have produced great leaders,including president _i.
it is not surprising that china’s economic growth and its new leadership in research, science andtechnology have taken place together.
i particularly like the old chinese saying, if you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if youthink in terms of ten years, plant trees; if you think in terms of 100 years, teach the people.
in india, too, the ancient saying is vyaye krate vardhate eva nityam, vidhya dhanam sarva dhanpradhanam
the wealth that increases by giving, that wealth is knowledge and is supreme of allpossessions.
this is one e_ample of how our two nations are united in their timeless wisdom.
there is much more, though, that links our two ancient civilizations.
i began my journey in china in _ian. in doing so, i retraced the footsteps of the chinese monk_uanzang.
he travelled to india from _ian in the seventh century in search of knowledge and returned to_ian as a friend and chronicler of india.
president _i’s visit in india last september started from ahmedabad. it is not far fromvadnagar, my birthplace, but important, because it hosted _uanzang and many pilgrims fromchina.
the world’s first large scale educational e_change programme took place between india andchina during the tang dynasty.
records talk of about 80 indian monks coming to china and nearly 150 chinese monksreturning after their education in india. and yes, this was in the 10th and 11th century.
mumbai’s rise as a port and a shipbuilding centre is because of cotton trade with china.
and, those who love silk and te_tiles know that india’s famous tanchoi sarees owe themselves tothree brothers from my state of gujarat who learnt the art of weaving from chinese masters inthe 19th century.
and, in an unquestionable evidence of our ancient trade, silk in our classical sanskritlanguage is called cinapatta.
so, the centuries-old story of our relations has been of spiritualism, learning, art and trade.
it is a picture of respect for each other’s civilisation and of shared prosperity.
it is reflected in the human values of dr. dwarkanath kotnis, a doctor from india, who treatedsoldiers in china during the second world war.
today, after difficult and sometimes dark passages of history, india and china stand at a raremoment of vast and multiple transitions in the world.
perhaps, the most significant change of this era is the re-emergence of china and india.
the world’s two most populous nations are undergoing economic and social transformationon a scale and at a speed that is unmatched in history.
china’s success over the past three decades has changed the character of the global economy.
india is now the ne_t frontier of the economic revolution.
we have the demography for it. about 800 million people in india are below the age of 35years. their aspirations, energy, enterprise and skills will be the force for india’s economictransformation.
we now have the political mandate and the will to make it happen.
over the past year, we have moved with a clear and coherent vision. and, we have acted withspeed, resolve and boldness to implement it.
we have taken sweeping steps to reform our policies and open up more to foreign directinvestments. this includes new areas like insurance, construction, defence and railways.
we are eliminating unnecessary regulations and simplifying our procedures. we are usingdigital technology to eliminate multiple approvals and endless wait.
we are building a ta_ regime that is predictable, stable and competitive, and that willintegrate the indian market.
we are scaling up investments in ne_t generation infrastructure – roads, ports, railways,airports, telecom, digital networks and clean energy.
our resources are being allocated with speed and transparency. and, we will make sure thatland acquisition does not become a barrier to growth or a burden on farmers.
we are creating the global skill pool to establish a modern economy with a world classmanufacturing sector.
we are reviving our agriculture sector to restore the fortunes of our farmers and boost ourgrowth.
like china, urban renewal is both a necessity and a means to add energy to our economy.
we are combining traditional strategies with modern economic instruments to eliminatepoverty and create security for the poor.
we have launched major schemes on financial inclusion of all, providing funds to the un-banked, and ensuring efficient and direct transfer of benefits to the poor.and, we areensuring that insurance and pension schemes reach the poorest.
we have set time bound goals for providing access to housing, water and sanitation for all.
this won’t just transform lives, but also generate a new source of economic momentum.

we have set time bound goals for providing access to housing, water and sanitation for all.
this won’t just transform lives, but also generate a new source of economic momentum.
in recent years, we have deepened our political engagement. we have kept our borderspeaceful. we have managed our differences and not allowed them to impede closercooperation. we have enhanced our cooperation across the full spectrum of ourrelationship.
yet, if we have to realise the e_traordinary potential of our partnership, we must alsoaddress the issues that lead to hesitation and doubts, even distrust, in our relationship.
first, we must try to settle the boundary question quickly.
we both recognise that this is history’s legacy. resolving it is our shared responsibility to thefuture. we must move ahead with new purpose and determination.
the solution we choose should do more than settle the boundary question.
it should do so in a manner that transforms our relationship and not cause new disruptions.
we have been remarkably successful in maintaining peace and tranquility along the border.
we must continue to do that on the principle of mutual and equal security.
our agreements, protocols and border mechanisms have been helpful.
but, a shadow of uncertainty always hangs over the sensitive areas of the border region.
it is because neither side knows where the line of actual control is, in these areas.
that is why i have proposed resuming the process of clarifying it. we can do this withoutprejudice to our position on the boundary question.
we should think of creative solutions to issues that have become irritants – from visa policiesto trans-border rivers.
sometimes, small steps can have a deep impact on how our people see each other.
we are both increasing our engagement in our shared neighbourhood. this calls for deeperstrategic communication to build mutual trust and confidence.
we must ensure that our relationships with other countries do not become a source of concernfor each other. and, wherever possible and feasible, we should work together, as we did inresponding to the earthquake in nepal.
if the last century was the age of alliances, this is an era of inter-dependence. so, talks ofalliances against one another have no foundation.
in any case, we are both ancient civilizations, large and independent nations. neither of us canbe contained or become part of anyone’s plans.
so, our partnership in international forums should not be determined by the concerns ofothers, but the interests of our two countries.
china’s support for india’s permanent membership of a reformed un security council, andfor india’s membership of e_port control regimes like nuclear suppliers group will do morethan just strengthen our international cooperation.
it will take our relationship to a new level.
it will give asia a stronger voice in the world.
if we are able to deepen mutual trust and confidence, we will also be able to reinforce eachother’s efforts of connecting asia with itself and rest of the world.
our soldiers face each other on the border, but we should also deepen our defence andsecurity cooperation to address our many common challenges.
above all, as we look ahead, we must build more bridges of familiarity and comfort betweenour people.
about 33% of the world’s population is either indian or chinese. yet, our people know verylittle of each other.
we must seek inspiration from the pilgrims of the ancient times, who braved the unknown insearch of knowledge, and enriched us both.
so, we have decided to e_tend electronic tourist visas to chinese nationals. we are celebratingthe “year of india” in china in __. we are launching the ‘provincial and state leaders forum’today.
later today, we will have the yoga-taichi event. it will represent the coming together of our twocivilizations.
we are starting the gandhi and india study centre in fudan university and a college of yoga inkunming.
the second route to kailash mansarovar for indian pilgrims will start in june, for which i wantto thank president _i.
these are just some of the many steps india and china are taking to bring the world’s twolargest populations in closer contact.
for this reason, i chose to speak today at a university.
because it is the youth that will inherit the future of our countries and the responsibility for ourrelationship.
president _i has spoken eloquently about the inter-connected dreams of china and india andthe new type of relationship between major countries.
not only are our dreams inter-connected, our future is also deeply inter- connected.
we are at a moment, when we have the opportunity to make our choices.
india and china are two proud civilizations and two great nations that will fulfill their destinies.
we each have the strength and the will to choose our own paths to success.
but, we have the ancient wisdom to know that our journey will be smoother and our futurebrighter, when we will walk together, confident of one another, and in step with each other.
thank you very much and thanks for your invitation, thanks a lot.
大學(xué)英語演講稿范文:sports brings us together
sports brings us together
sports are more than competitions. to me, they mean growth under the care of others. i learned this the hard way.
i used to be very shy and often felt lonely. although i did well in all the academic subjects, i was afraid of physical education. my classmates often laughed at me.
“look at that girl,” they said. “her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!”
their words embarrassed me. moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. as a result, i often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.
things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. by mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. by the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.
my desk-mate was a natural athlete. she said to me, “i couldn’t run that race in your place, because i’ve signed up for three items already.” other athletic girls of the class said the same.
i was utterly dumbfounded. 1500 meters! running against the best runners from other classes! and in front of students of the entire school! it would be the worst nightmare i’d ever have!
“you still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” they all said this to me, including my teacher.
my desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “cool! you will run for our class! and we will do training together.” yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, i said to myself. but still, 1500 meters to me was like mount everest to a beginning climber. i had no idea even how to start my preparation.
fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. when the fear of being laughed at struck me, i saw others running right beside me. they gave me strengths. while we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us.
one month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. but when i was standing behind the start line, i no longer felt lonely or afraid. i saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me.
with the shot of the starting gun, i dashed out and ran as fast as i could, as if it were a 200-meter race. soon i was out of breath and slowed down. other runners passed me one by one, and gradually i had no idea how many of them were still behind me. my legs were getting heavier and heavier, and i might fall down at any moment. however, i suddenly heard my classmates chanting my name. my desk-mate even ran along the tracks beside me and cheered for me at the same time, just like the month-long training we did together.
as e_pected, i was almost the last to cross the finish line. immediately, my classmates held my arms and urged me to walk on my feet and not to sit down. i was surrounded, with all kinds of drinks handed to me. i felt a kind of warmth i had never felt before. even though i was almost the last to finish the race, i was full of confidence that i would improve in the future.
that sports meet was an unforgettable e_perience. the memory of my classmates cheering for me, holding my arms and handing me drinks stays fresh on my mind. sports are no longer about winning or losing. they give me a lot of confidence, both confidence in my fellow students and confidence in my own potential. i am no longer lonely, no longer afraid. sports have brought me close to my classmates and helped us grow together.
now, i participate in the sports meet every year. even if i am not competing, i would help my classmates with their practice, just like the way my desk-mate and others ran with me.
大學(xué)英語演講稿:my view on world cup
recently, i believe there is nothing can as popular as the world cup. the people around you talk about the football match, the computer you open is full of message about the match or the football player, and even you open your tv set or read newspaper, there is not chance to avoid seeing the information. why the world cup is so popular? why there are so many people keeping a watchful eye on it? what do you think of world cup? does everyone really like it? in my opinion, there are three kinds of people making the world cup so hot.
first of all, the people are really interested in football will pay special attention on the world cup. world cup is the football match between countries held every four years. you can imagine how e_cellent the performance would be. how can the football lovers not pay attention on it? with the popularization of football, the amount of this kind of people should not be underestimated. secondly, the people who swims with the tide also make contribution to spread the world cup. there is a number of people focus on the world cup just want to chase the trend. last but not least, the gambler is another reason that should not be ignored. besides watching the e_cellent performance of football players, to forecast the result before the match is certainly. world cup provides a chance for the gambler to bet with a great e_cuse. how can they miss it?
to sum up, as far as i am concerned the three kind of people mentioned above is the main reason to make the word cup so popular.
近段時(shí)間,我相信沒有什么事情能比世界杯更受歡迎。周圍的人都在談?wù)撟闱蛸?,打開電腦也全是關(guān)于足球比賽的信息,甚至打開電視機(jī)或者看下報(bào)紙,都無法避免不看關(guān)于世界杯的信息。為什么世界杯這么受歡迎呢?為什么有那么多人關(guān)注呢?你是如何看待世界杯的?大家是真的喜歡嗎?在我看來,主要是有三類人使得世界杯如此的受歡迎。
首先,那些真的喜歡足球的人會(huì)特別關(guān)注世界杯。世界杯是國與國之間的足球比賽,而且是每四年舉行一次??梢韵胂蟮玫竭@比賽是有多么的精彩。足球愛好者怎么可能不關(guān)注它。隨著足球的普及,足球愛好者的數(shù)量是不可低估的。其次,那些隨波逐流的人也為推廣世界杯做出了一定的貢獻(xiàn)。有部分人關(guān)注世界杯僅僅只是為了跟上潮流。最后但并非最不重要的,賭徒也是另一個(gè)不可忽視的因素。除了觀看精彩的比賽,在比賽前預(yù)測(cè)比賽結(jié)果也是必然的。世界杯為那些賭徒提供了一個(gè)冠冕堂皇的理由。他們?cè)趺纯赡苠e(cuò)過呢?
總之,我覺得上述的那三類人是使得世界杯如此受歡迎的主要原因。

president powers, provost fenves, deans, members of the faculty, family and friends and mostimportantly, the class of 2024. congratulations on your achievement.
it"s been almost 37 years to the day that i graduated from ut.
i remember a lot of things about that day.
i remember i had throbbing headache from a party the night before. i remember i had aserious girlfriend, whom i later married-that"s important to remember by the way-and iremember that i was getting commissioned in the navy that day.
but of all the things i remember, i don"t have a clue who the commencement speaker wasthat evening and i certainly don"t remember anything they said.
so…acknowledging that fact-if i can"t make this commencement speech memorable-i will atleast try to make it short.
the university"s slogan is,
"what starts here changes the world."
i have to admit-i kinda like it.
"what starts here changes the world."
tonight there are almost 8,000 students graduating from ut.
that great paragon of analytical rigor, ask.com says that the average american will meet10,000 people in their life time.
that"s a lot of folks.
but, if every one of you changed the lives of just ten people-and each one of those folkschanged the lives of another ten people-just ten-then in five generations-125 years-the class of2024 will have changed the lives of 800 million people.
800 million people-think of it-over twice the population of the united states. go one moregeneration and you can change the entire population of the world-8 billion people.
if you think it"s hard to change the lives of ten people-change their lives forever-you"re wrong.
i saw it happen every day in iraq and afghanistan.
a young army officer makes a decision to go left instead of right down a road in baghdad andthe ten soldiers in his squad are saved from close-in ambush.
in kandahar province, afghanistan, a non-commissioned officer from the female engagementteam senses something isn"t right and directs the infantry platoon away from a 500 poundied, saving the lives of a dozen soldiers.
but, if you think about it, not only were these soldiers saved by the decisions of one person, buttheir children yet unborn-were also saved. and their children"s children-were saved.
generations were saved by one decision-by one person.
but changing the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it.
so, what starts here can indeed change the world, but the question is…what will the world looklike after you change it?
well, i am confident that it will look much, much better, but if you will humor this old sailorfor just a moment, i have a few suggestions that may help you on your way to a better a world.
and while these lessons were learned during my time in the military, i can assure you that itmatters not whether you ever served a day in uniform.
it matters not your gender, your ethnic or religious background, your orientation, or yoursocial status.
our struggles in this world are similar and the lessons to overcome those struggles and tomove forward-changing ourselves and the world around us-will apply equally to all.
i have been a navy seal for 36 years. but it all began when i left ut for basic seal training incoronado, california.
basic seal training is si_ months of long torturous runs in the soft sand, midnight swims in thecold water off san diego, obstacles courses, unending calisthenics, days without sleep andalways being cold, wet and miserable.
it is si_ months of being constantly harassed by professionally trained warriors who seek tofind the weak of mind and body and eliminate them from ever becoming a navy seal.
but, the training also seeks to find those students who can lead in an environment ofconstant stress, chaos, failure and hardships.
to me basic seal training was a life time of challenges crammed into si_ months.
so, here are the ten lesson"s i learned from basic seal training that hopefully will be of value toyou as you move forward in life.
every morning in basic seal training, my instructors, who at the time were all vietnamveterans, would show up in my barracks room and the first thing they would inspect was yourbed.
if you did it right, the corners would be square, the covers pulled tight, the pillow centered justunder the headboard and the e_tra blanket folded neatly at the foot of the rack-rack-that"snavy talk for bed.
it was a simple task-mundane at best. but every morning we were required to make our bedto perfection. it seemed a little ridiculous at the time, particularly in light of the fact thatwere aspiring to be real warriors, tough battle hardened seals-but the wisdom of this simpleact has been proven to me many times over.
if you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. itwill give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and anotherand another.
by the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter.
if you can"t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.
and, if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made-thatyou made-and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
if you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
during seal training the students are broken down into boat crews. each crew is sevenstudents-three on each side of a small rubber boat and one co_swain to help guide the dingy.
every day your boat crew forms up on the beach and is instructed to get through the surfzoneand paddle several miles down the coast.
in the winter, the surf off san diego can get to be 8 to 10 feet high and it is e_ceedinglydifficult to paddle through the plunging surf unless everyone digs in.
every paddle must be synchronized to the stroke count of the co_swain. everyone must e_ertequal effort or the boat will turn against the wave and be unceremoniously tossed back on thebeach.
for the boat to make it to its destination, everyone must paddle.
you can"t change the world alone-you will need some help- and to truly get from your startingpoint to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the good will of strangers and a strongco_swain to guide them.
if you want to change the world, find someone to help you paddle.
over a few weeks of difficult training my seal class which started with 150 men was down tojust 35. there were now si_ boat crews of seven men each.
i was in the boat with the tall guys, but the best boat crew we had was made up of the thelittle guys-the munchkin crew we called them-no one was over about 5-foot five.
the munchkin boat crew had one american indian, one african american, one polish american,one greek american, one italian american, and two tough kids from the mid-west.
they out paddled, out-ran, and out swam all the other boat crews.
the big men in the other boat crews would always make good natured fun of the tiny littleflippers the munchkins put on their tiny little feet prior to every swim.
but somehow these little guys, from every corner of the nation and the world, always had thelast laugh- swimming faster than everyone and reaching the shore long before the rest of us.
seal training was a great equalizer. nothing mattered but your will to succeed. not your color,not your ethnic background, not your education and not your social status.
if you want to change the world, measure a person by the size of their heart, not the size oftheir flippers.
several times a week, the instructors would line up the class and do a uniform inspection. itwas e_ceptionally thorough.
your hat had to be perfectly starched, your uniform immaculately pressed and your belt buckleshiny and void of any smudges.
but it seemed that no matter how much effort you put into starching your hat, or pressingyour uniform or polishing your belt buckle-- it just wasn"t good enough.
the instructors would fine "something" wrong.
for failing the uniform inspection, the student had to run, fully clothed into the surfzone andthen, wet from head to toe, roll around on the beach until every part of your body was coveredwith sand.
the effect was known as a "sugar cookie." you stayed in that uniform the rest of the day-cold,wet and sandy.
there were many a student who just couldn"t accept the fact that all their effort was in vain.that no matter how hard they tried to get the uniform right-it was unappreciated.
those students didn"t make it through training.
those students didn"t understand the purpose of the drill. you were never going to succeed.you were never going to have a perfect uniform.
sometimes no matter how well you prepare or how well you perform you still end up as asugar cookie.
it"s just the way life is sometimes.
if you want to change the world get over being a sugar cookie and keep moving forward.
every day during training you were challenged with multiple physical events-long runs, longswims, obstacle courses, hours of calisthenics-something designed to test your mettle.
every event had standards-times you had to meet. if you failed to meet those standards yourname was posted on a list and at the end of the day those on the list were invited to-a "circus."
a circus was two hours of additional calisthenics-designed to wear you down, to break yourspirit, to force you to quit.
no one wanted a circus.
a circus meant that for that day you didn"t measure up. a circus meant more fatigue-andmore fatigue meant that the following day would be more difficult-and more circuses werelikely.
but at some time during seal training, everyone-everyone-made the circus list.
but an interesting thing happened to those who were constantly on the list. overtime thosestudents--who did two hours of e_tra calisthenics-got stronger and stronger.
the pain of the circuses built inner strength-built physical resiliency.
life is filled with circuses.
you will fail. you will likely fail often. it will be painful. it will be discouraging. at times it willtest you to your very core.
but if you want to change the world, don"t be afraid of the circuses.
at least twice a week, the trainees were required to run the obstacle course. the obstaclecourse contained 25 obstacles including a 10-foot high wall, a 30-foot cargo net, and a barbedwire crawl to name a few.
but the most challenging obstacle was the slide for life. it had a three level 30 foot tower atone end and a one level tower at the other. in between was a 200-foot long rope.
you had to climb the three tiered tower and once at the top, you grabbed the rope, swungunderneath the rope and pulled yourself hand over hand until you got to the other end.
the record for the obstacle course had stood for years when my class began training in 1977.
the record seemed unbeatable, until one day, a student decided to go down the slide for life-head first.
instead of swinging his body underneath the rope and inching his way down, he bravelymounted the top of the rope and thrust himself forward.
it was a dangerous move-seemingly foolish, and fraught with risk. failure could mean injuryand being dropped from the training.
without hesitation-the student slid down the rope-perilously fast, instead of several minutes,it only took him half that time and by the end of the course he had broken the record.
if you want to change the world sometimes you have to slide down the obstacle head first.
during the land warfare phase of training, the students are flown out to san clemente islandwhich lies off the coast of san diego.
the waters off san clemente are a breeding ground for the great white sharks. to pass sealtraining there are a series of long swims that must be completed. one-is the night swim.
before the swim the instructors joyfully brief the trainees on all the species of sharks thatinhabit the waters off san clemente.
they assure you, however, that no student has ever been eaten by a shark-at least notrecently.
but, you are also taught that if a shark begins to circle your position-stand your ground. donot swim away. do not act afraid.
and if the shark, hungry for a midnight snack, darts towards you-then summons up all yourstrength and punch him in the snout and he will turn and swim away.
there are a lot of sharks in the world. if you hope to complete the swim you will have to dealwith them.
so, if you want to change the world, don"t back down from the sharks.
as navy seals one of our jobs is to conduct underwater attacks against enemy shipping. wepracticed this technique e_tensively during basic training.
the ship attack mission is where a pair of seal divers is dropped off outside an enemy harborand then swims well over two miles-underwater-using nothing but a depth gauge and acompass to get to their target.
during the entire swim, even well below the surface there is some light that comes through. itis comforting to know that there is open water above you.
but as you approach the ship, which is tied to a pier, the light begins to fade. the steelstructure of the ship blocks the moonlight-it blocks the surrounding street lamps-it blocks allambient light.
to be successful in your mission, you have to swim under the ship and find the keel-thecenterline and the deepest part of the ship.
this is your objective. but the keel is also the darkest part of the ship-where you cannot seeyour hand in front of your face, where the noise from the ship"s machinery is deafening andwhere it is easy to get disoriented and fail.
every seal knows that under the keel, at the darkest moment of the mission-is the time whenyou must be calm, composed-when all your tactical skills, your physical power and all yourinner strength must be brought to bear.
if you want to change the world, you must be your very best in the darkest moment.
the ninth week of training is referred to as "hell week." it is si_ days of no sleep, constantphysical and mental harassment and-one special day at the mud flats-the mud flats are areabetween san diego and tijuana where the water runs off and creates the tijuana slue"s-aswampy patch of terrain where the mud will engulf you.
it is on wednesday of hell week that you paddle down to the mud flats and spend the ne_t 15hours trying to survive the freezing cold mud, the howling wind and the incessant pressureto quit from the instructors.
as the sun began to set that wednesday evening, my training class, having committed some"egregious infraction of the rules" was ordered into the mud.
the mud consumed each man till there was nothing visible but our heads. the instructors toldus we could leave the mud if only five men would quit-just five men and we could get out of theoppressive cold.
looking around the mud flat it was apparent that some students were about to give up. it wasstill over eight hours till the sun came up-eight more hours of bone chilling cold.
the chattering teeth and shivering moans of the trainees were so loud it was hard to hearanything and then, one voice began to echo through the night-one voice raised in song.
the song was terribly out of tune, but sung with great enthusiasm.
one voice became two and two became three and before long everyone in the class was singing.
we knew that if one man could rise above the misery then others could as well.
the instructors threatened us with more time in the mud if we kept up the singing-but thesinging persisted.
and somehow-the mud seemed a little warmer, the wind a little tamer and the dawn not so faraway.
if i have learned anything in my time traveling the world, it is the power of hope. the power ofone person-washington, lincoln, king, mandela and even a young girl from pakistan-malala-oneperson can change the world by giving people hope.
so, if you want to change the world, start singing when you"re up to your neck in mud.
finally, in seal training there is a bell. a brass bell that hangs in the center of the compoundfor all the students to see.
all you have to do to quit-is ring the bell. ring the bell and you no longer have to wake up at 5o"clock. ring the bell and you no longer have to do the freezing cold swims.
ring the bell and you no longer have to do the runs, the obstacle course, the pt-and you nolonger have to endure the hardships of training.
just ring the bell.
if you want to change the world don"t ever, ever ring the bell.
to the graduating class of 2024, you are moments away from graduating. moments away frombeginning your journey through life. moments away starting to change the world-for the better.
it will not be easy.
but, you are the class of 2024-the class that can affect the lives of 800 million people in thene_t century.
start each day with a task completed.
find someone to help you through life.
respect everyone.
know that life is not fair and that you will fail often, but if take you take some risks, step upwhen the times are toughest, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden and never, evergive up-if you do these things, then ne_t generation and the generations that follow will live ina world far better than the one we have today and-what started here will indeed have changedthe world-for the better.
thank you very much. hook "em horns.

謝謝,謝謝考恩校長,和有頭有臉的來賓們,呃,有頭有臉的來賓,你知道你是誰,不用介紹了(眾人笑),誠心感謝大家……以及討厭的西班牙語老師(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,狂歡到今天都還沒睡,但是沒聽完我的演講不能畢業(yè),所以都聽好了!(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)我被問是否來參加畢業(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)。如果我有字典的話就輕松多了,但我家的書大多是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常見的+cement水泥,常見的水泥(眾人大笑)你常常見到水泥,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)來做你們的“常見的水泥”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……我沒有在這里念過大學(xué),我不知校長先生是否知道,我完全沒上過大學(xué)…任何一間大學(xué)!我倒不是在說你們?cè)诶速M(fèi)時(shí)間和金錢,不過看看我,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)上我在這里度過許多成長的歲月,我媽媽在這里工作時(shí),我常來找她……每當(dāng)我要偷她錢包里的錢時(shí)(大家笑)。但我今天在這里的原因,顯然不是要偷你們的錢……
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]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)槲覑奂~奧良,我在這里出生成長,在此度過少年時(shí)光,正如你們一樣,當(dāng)我住這里時(shí),我只洗過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),后來我也繼續(xù)念完了高中。我當(dāng)時(shí),沒有任何的野心,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,過一輩子,能有錢負(fù)得起房租就行,我完全沒有任何計(jì)劃。我想說的是,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,舉例來說,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)檐嚨溕硗隽?。我?jīng)過了事故現(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,沒有錢,沒有暖氣,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。我無法理解,但其中一定有什么理由。要是能直接拿起電話打給上帝問個(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.
于是我開始寫一些東西,心里涌現(xiàn)出一段我和上帝的對(duì)話,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,我說我要在“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)尼一起坐下來訪問的女性。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)坐下來和他訪問的女性。就因?yàn)槟嵌挝覍懙暮蜕系鄞螂娫挼膭”尽?/p>
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,我只是想要……誠實(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,沒有告知我就停播了,我讀了報(bào)紙才知道。家中的電話三年沒有再響過,沒人愿意找我做節(jié)目,沒人愿意碰我。
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信,他們因?yàn)槲业某龉穸罱K沒有自殺,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。后來有人找我做脫口秀(今天的ellenshow),制作公司想要賣出節(jié)目,但是大多數(shù)電視臺(tái)都不愿意買。
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)自己誠實(shí)。我的選擇令我在今天能活得自在,沒有恐懼和秘密。我知道一切都是ok的,因?yàn)闊o論如何,我知道自己是誰。
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,開名車,有一群死黨……(ellen這段說的很溜,大家反應(yīng)過來其實(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)你長大,你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這點(diǎn)。對(duì)你們中的很多人來說,成功的定義是能灌下20杯龍舌蘭酒(大家笑)。對(duì)我來說,生命中最重要的事是:活得誠實(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,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)歷過風(fēng)災(zāi)了,還有什么可怕的?如我以前所說的: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“常見的水泥”演講的結(jié)論(大家笑),我猜我想說的是,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,我說祝賀大家了!若你不記得我今天說的任何話,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)

炸醬面很容易烹飪。首先,你先把黃瓜切絲,把黃豆和青豆用沸水煮上十分鐘,然后把這些材料裝進(jìn)碗里面?zhèn)溆?。其次,烹制炸醬。把肉末、洋蔥和蔥花混合在一起,不停地翻炒,直到你聞到肉香。最后,把肉醬淋在煮好的面條上,再放上黃瓜絲、黃豆和青豆,炸醬面就算做好了。如果你有時(shí)間,你一定要試試。我保證你會(huì)愛上炸醬面的。
