Give it four years, as many years as you spent here at Yale, and act both pro-active andspontaneous and do the things you can to free veterans from the new uncertainty thatawaits them, from the mysterious fears they will face the day after they come home. Cultivatein them the faith to carry on and they will do the rest.
做出四年的奉獻(xiàn),就像你們?cè)谝攲W(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)間一樣長(zhǎng),積極行動(dòng)起來(lái),做些力所能及的事幫助退伍軍人,讓他們從回家時(shí)起,不再受等在他們面前新的未知之苦,不再遭受他們要面對(duì)的詭秘的恐懼之苦。培養(yǎng)他們繼續(xù)生活下去的信念,剩下的就交給他們自己了。
So commencement day arrives! Your work begins-work that will not be always joyful to you,labor that may not always fulfill you and days that will seem like one damn thing after the other.It's true-you will now work every day for the rest of your lives, that full-time job. Your career,as human beings, and as Americans, and as graduates of Yale, is to stand on the fulcrumbetween fear and faith.
你們要畢業(yè)了,這代表工作就要開(kāi)始。未來(lái)的工作也許不會(huì)那么好玩,有時(shí)你會(huì)覺(jué)得很難有成就感,有時(shí)你會(huì)做什么都不順。但是,從現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始,你們?nèi)松拿恳惶?,都要投入一份全職的終身工作。而這份作為人類、作為美國(guó)人、作為耶魯畢業(yè)生的終身事業(yè),就是站在恐懼和信心的杠桿支點(diǎn)上。
Fear at your back, faith in front of you. Which way will you lean? Which way will you move?Move forward! Move ever forward!
當(dāng)信心在你的前面,恐懼在你的后方時(shí),你會(huì)往哪個(gè)方向傾斜?你會(huì)往哪個(gè)方向移動(dòng)?各位,向前行吧,永遠(yuǎn)都要向前行。
And tweet out the picture of the results! It may make you as famous as Sam Tsui.
然后,把你的努力成果,用推特告訴大家。這樣,你或許也能像徐山姆一樣,變成網(wǎng)絡(luò)紅人。
Thank you! And Congratulations!
謝謝大家!祝賀大家!
