　　以下是勞爾德-貝蘭克梵演講的全文：

　　President Mellow, distinguished faculty, friends, family, and the Graduating Class of 2013.

　　麥羅校長，各位尊敬的老師，朋友，家人以及2023年的畢業生們：

　　It is a great honor for me to share in your accomplishment and pride today. But I must admit that I approached this address with some trepidation. I suppose that more commencement speeches have been delivered more seriously, listened to more attentively, and forgotten more promptly than any other form of human communication.

　　我很榮幸能在今天分享你們的成就和榮耀。但是我必須承認，我是帶著一些不安來參加這次活動的。我想，曾經有更多更認真的畢業典禮發言，收到更加用心地傾聽，但是相比其他任何溝通形式，也更加迅速地被遺忘。

　　So I will try to be brief and practical. My advice is grounded in my own experience. And my own experience, in many respects, is not that different from many of yours.

　　所以，我會盡量簡短而實用。我的全部建議都是來自我自己的經歷。而我的經歷，從很多方面來看，和你們當中的很多并沒有什么不同。

　　I grew up with the idea that college was more an aspiration than an expectation. I saw my parents struggle most of their lives and the daily battle to keep afloat sometimes even drained what hopes and dreams they had for me. They didn’t go to college and neither did my only, older sibling.

　　在我成長的環境中，大學更多是一個美好愿望而不是理所當然的事情。我見證我父母大半生的奮斗，每天僅為了維持生計而努力工作，有時甚至會打消任何他們對我的期望和夢想。他們都沒有上過大學，我唯一的兄長也沒有讀過大學。

　　My father sorted mail for the post office. He worked nights because it paid 10% more than a day shift. My mother was a receptionist at a burglar alarm company — one of the few growth industries in our neighborhood. I grew up in the Linden Houses, which, as some of you know, is a housing project in East New York.

　　我的父親在郵局整理郵件。他選擇夜班工作只是因為報酬比白班多了10%，我的母親是一個防盜警報公司的接待員——這也是我所在社區為數不多的增長行業之一。我在林登小區長大，你們當中的很多都知道，這是紐約東區的一個住宅項目。 精品小說推薦： 昔日落魄少年被逐出家族，福禍相依得神秘老者相助，從此人生路上一片青雲！ 我行我瀟灑，彰顯我性格！ 彆罵小爺拽，媳婦多了用車載！ 妹紙一聲好歐巴，轉手就是摸摸大！ “不要嘛！” 完整內容請點擊辣手仙醫
