致詞節錄:
Now the commencement speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good wishes to you. I will not do that, and I’ll tell you why.
通常畢業致詞人會祝你們好運,並且心想事成。我絕對不會那樣做,但我會告訴你們為什麼。
From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice.
在接下來數年的時間裡,我希望你們被不公平對待,如此一來,你們才知道公平正義的重要。
I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty.
我希望你們遭遇背叛,你們才會學到忠誠的重要性。
Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take friends for granted.
很抱歉這麼說,但我希望你們有時感到孤單,這樣才不會把朋友的存在視為理所當然。
I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
我希望你們三不五時就遭遇不幸,如此才能意識到機率和運氣在人生中扮演的角色,了解到你的成功不完全是你所應得的,而他人的失敗也不是他們所應得的結果。
And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure.It is a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship.
當你們失敗時,人生三不五時一定會有失敗,我希望你的對手會對你的失敗感到幸災樂禍,讓你們理解運動家精神的重要性。
I hope you’ll be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion.
我希望你們被忽視,如此才會知道聆聽他人的重要性,我還希望你們遭遇足夠的痛苦來學習同理心。
Whether I wish these things or not, they’re going to happen. And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes.
不管有沒有這些「祝福」,我說的事情,未來終究會發生。至於你們是否能從中獲利,則取決於你們從不幸中獲得某些「訊息」的能力。
Now commencement speakers are also expected to give some advice. They give grand advice, and they give some useful tips.
畢業致詞者通常會給學生一些建議。他們會給一些廣泛的建議,也會給一些有用的小撇步。
The most common grand advice they give is for you to be yourself. It is an odd piece of advice to give people dressed identically, but you should — you should be yourself.
最常給的建議就是「做自己」。給你們這些都穿著同樣畢業袍的人這樣的建議實在有點怪,但你們確實應該做自己。
But you should understand what that means. Unless you are perfect, it does not mean don’t make any changes.
只是你們得了解做自己的意義何在。除非你很完美,否則做自己不代表不改變。
In a certain sense, you should not be yourself. You should try to become something better. People say ‘be yourself’ because they want you to resist the impulse to conform to what others want you to be.
在某些狀況來說,你不應該做自己,而是應該變成更好的人。大家要你「做自己」,是因為希望你們不要變成別人要你們改變的樣子。
But you can’t be yourself if you don't learn who are, and you can’t learn who you are unless you think about it.
但除非你們了解自己是誰,或思考過自己是誰,否則無法「做自己」。
