他们被迫退出的遭遇,萦绕在许多演讲人的心头,其中包括一些在抗议获得成功的高校发表演讲的嘉宾。谈及这一话题时,一些演讲人开起了玩笑,其他人则显得非常严肃;一些人转弯抹角,也有人针锋相对。
Mostly, they expressed disapproval, warning against political orthodoxy, and insisting that the principle of airing opposing views should have trumped whatever objections there were to the speakers. (Ms. Hirsi Ali was opposed for her denigration of Islam, Ms. Rice for her role in the Iraq war, Ms. Lagarde for the I.M.F.'s treatment of poor nations, and Mr. Birgeneau for Berkeley’s rough treatment of Occupy protesters.)
他们大多表示反对,针对政治观念正统思维发出警告,并坚称,无论学生对这些演讲人持有何种异议,它们都无法逾越其他人宣扬反面观点的基本权利。(反对希尔西·阿里是因为她诋毁伊斯兰教;反对赖斯是因为她在伊拉克战争中扮演的角色;反对拉加德是因为国际货币基金组织对待穷国的态度,反对柏吉诺是因为加州大学伯克利分校曾经粗暴对待“占领运动”示威者。)
Some of the favored graduation themes of recent years have faded — the failings of the financial system, the moral dimensions of a muscular American stance in the world — while others have flourished.
近几年备受青睐的某些毕业演讲主题已经消退,比如金融体系的失效,美国在世界上的强势地位引发的道德困境。另一些主题则逐渐流行开来。
