Today is a day of celebration, a day to celebrate all the hard work that got you to this place where you can sit, kind of swelteringin that gown. Today is a day of thanks, a day to thank all the people that helped you get here, the people who nurtured you and taught you, who held your hand, who dried your tears. Today is a day of reflection. Excuse me, a little laryngitis.
今天是值得庆祝的日子,在这一天,大家付出的所有努力都得到了回报,所以才能够坐在这里,穿着这身让我们引以为荣的长袍。当然,可能有的人已经汗流浃背了。今天也是感恩的一天,让我们一起感谢那些曾经帮助过你的人、养育你长大的人、向你传授知识的人,在困难时握着你的手为你擦干眼泪的人。
As you leave Barnard today, you leave not just with an education, but you take your place amongst the fortunate. Some of you came here from families where education was expected and emphasized. Others of you had to overcome far more obstacles to get here, and today you become the very first member of your family to graduate from college. What an amazing accomplishment. But no matter where you started, as of today you are all privileged. You are privileged in the most important sense of the word, which is that you have almost boundless opportunity in front of you. So, the question is, what are you going to do with it? What will you do with this education you worked so hard to achieve? What in the world needs to change, and what part do you plan on playing in changing it?
