哈佛校长演讲全文如下：
Good afternoon. My remarks at this moment in our Commencement rituals毕业典礼仪式are officially titled a “Report to the Alumni.” The first time I delivered them, in 2008, I was the only obstacle between all of you and J.K. Rowling JK罗琳. I looked out on a sea of许多；人山人海eager children, costumed Dumbledores（阿不思·邓布利多是哈利波特系列丛书中的人物，他是霍格沃茨魔法学校校长，被公认为是当代最伟大的巫师。）, and Quidditchbrooms (魁地奇扫帚，魁地奇是电影《哈利波特》中的一种对抗运动。) waving impatiently in the air. Today, you await Mark Zuckerberg, whose wizardry (巫术、魔法) takes a different form, one that has changed the world, and although he doesn’t seem to have inspired an outbreak of hoodies, we certainly do have some costumes in this audience today. I see we are now handing out blankets.
This is a day of joy and celebration, of happy endings and new beginnings, of families and friends, of achievements and hopes. It is also a day when we as a university perform our most important annual ritual, affirming once again the purposes that animate激励us and the values that direct and inspire us.
I want to speak today about one of the most important –and in recent months, most contested 争议的–of these values. It is one that has provoked debate, dissent, confrontation , and even violence on campuses across the country (可拆开翻译，处理为：激起争论、造成不满和导致对抗，甚至在全国各大校园引发暴力), and one that has attracted widespread public attention and criticism.
I am, of course, talking about issues of free speech on university campuses. The meaning and limits of free speech are questions deeply embedded in深深地植入到our legal system, in interpretations of the First Amendment and its applications. I am no constitutional lawyer, indeed no lawyer at all, and I do not intend in my brief remarks today to address complex legal doctrines.
Nor, clearly, can I in a few brief minutes take on even a fraction of the arguments that have been advanced on this issue. Instead, I speak as one who has been a university president for a decade in order to raise three questions:
First: Why is free speech so important to and at universities?
Second: Why does it seem under special challenge right now?
And, third: How might we better address these challenges by moving beyond just defensively protecting free speech –which, of course, we must do –to actively and affirmatively enabling it and nurturing environments in which it can thrive?
So first: Why is free speech so important to and at universities? This is a question I took up with the newly arrived first-year students一年级新生in the College when I welcomed them at Convocation last fall. For centuries, I told them, universities have been environments in which knowledge has been discovered, collected, studied, debated, expanded, changed, and advanced through the power of rational argument and exchange.We pursue truth unrelentingly不断追求真理, but we must never be so complacent as to believe we have unerringly attained it. Veritas is inspiration and aspiration. We assume there is always more to know and discover so we open ourselves to challenge and change. We must always be ready to be wrong, so being part of a university community requires courage and humility勇气与谦逊. Universities must be places open to the kind of debate that can change ideas and committed to standards of reason and evidence that form the bases for evaluating them.
Silencing ideas or basking in intellectual orthodoxy 正统知识independent of facts and evidence impedes阻碍our access to new and better ideas, and it inhibits 抑制a full and considered rejection of bad ones. From at least the time of Galileo, we can see how repressing 抑制seemingly heretical ideas歪理邪说has blinded societies and nations to the enhanced knowledge and understanding on which progress depend. Far more recently, we can see here at Harvard how our inattentiveness漫不经心to the power and appeal of conservative voices left much of our community astonished –blindsided 攻其不备by the outcome of last fall’s election. We must work to ensure that universities do not become bubbles isolated from the concerns and discourse of the society that surrounds them.
Universities must model a commitment to the notion that truth cannot simply be claimed, but must be established –established through reasoned argument, assessment, and even sometimes uncomfortable challenges that provide the foundation for truth. The legitimacy of universities’ claim to be sources and validators of fact depends on our willingness to actively and vigorously defend those facts. And we must remember that limiting some speech opens the dangerous possibility that the speech that is ultimately censored may be our own. If some words are to be treated as equivalent to physical violence and silenced or even prosecuted, who is to decide which words? Freedom of expression, as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes famously said long ago, protects not only free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought we hate. We need to hear those hateful ideas so our society is fully equipped to oppose and defeat
them.
Over the years, differences about the implementation of the University’s free speech principles have often provoked controversy. And we haven’t always gotten it right. As long ago as 1939, an invitation from a student group to the head of the American Communist Party generated protest and the invitation was ultimately canceled by the Corporation. Bertrand Russell’s appointment as William James Lecturer just a year later divided the Corporation, but President Conant broke the tie and Russell came. Campus conflicts over invited speakers are hardly new.
Yet the vehemence激烈with which these issues have been debated in recent months, not just on campuses but in the broader public sphere, suggests there is something distinctive about this moment. Certainly, these controversies reflect a highly polarized political and social environment –perhaps the most divisive since the era of the Civil War. And in these already fractious circumstances, free speech debates have provided a fertile substrate into which anger and disagreement could be planted to nourish partisan outrage and generate media clickbait. But that is only a partial explanation.
Universities themselves have changed dramatically in recent years, reaching beyond their traditional, largely homogeneous populations to become more diverse than perhaps any other institution in which Americans find themselves living together. Once overwhelmingly white, male, Protestant, and upper class, Harvard College is now half female, majority minority, religiously pluralistic, with nearly 60 percent of students able to attend because of financial aid. Fifteen percent are the first in their families to go to college. Many of our students struggle to feel full members of this community –a community in which people like them have so recently arrived. They seek evidence and assurance that –to borrow the title of a powerful theatrical piece created by a group of our African-American students –evidence and assurance that they, too, are Harvard.
The price of our commitment to freedom of speech is paid disproportionately by these students. For them, free speech has not infrequently included enduring a questioning of their abilities, their humanity, their morality –their very legitimacy here. Our values and our theory of education rest on the assumption that members of our community will take the risk of speaking and will actively compete in our wild rumpus of argument and ideas. It requires them as well to be fearless in face of argument or challenge or even verbal insult. And it expects that fearlessness even when the challenge is directed to the very identity –race, religion, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality –that may have made them uncertain about their right to be here in the first place. Demonstrating such fearlessness is hard; no one should be mocked as a snowflake for finding it so.
Hard, but important and attainable. Attainable, we believe, for every member of our community. But the price of free speech cannot be charged just to those most likely to become its target. We must support and empower the voices of all the members of our community and nurture the courage and humility that our commitment to unfettered debate demands from all of us. And that courage means not only resilience in face of challenge or attack, but strength to speak out
against injustices directed at others as well.
Free speech doesn’t just happen and require intervention when it is impeded. It is not about the freedom to out-shout others while everyone has their fingers in their ears. For free speech to flourish, we must build an environment where everyone takes responsibility for the right not just to speak, but to hear and be heard, where everyone assumes the responsibility to treat others with dignity and respect. It requires not just speakers, but, in the words of James Ryan, dean of our Graduate School of Education, generous listeners. Amidst the current soul-searching about free speech, we need to devote more attention to establishing the conditions in which everyone’s speech is encouraged and taken seriously.
Ensuring freedom of speech is not just about allowing speech. It is about actively creating a community where everyone can contribute and flourish, a community where argument is relished, not feared. Freedom of speech is not just freedom from censorship 审查大纲; it is freedom to actively join the debate as a full participant. It is about creating a context in which genuine debate can happen.
Talk a lot, I urged the Class of 2020 last fall; listen more. Don’t stand safely on the sidelines 不要待在舒适区; take the risk of being wrong. It is the best way to learn and grow. And build a culture of generous listening so that others may be emboldened to take risks大胆冒险, too. A community in a shared search for Veritas –that is the ideal for which Harvard must strive. We need it now more than ever.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for invating me. The Senior Class Committee. it’s genuinely one of the most exciting things I’ ve ever been asked to do. I have to admit primarily because I can’t deny it as it was leaked in the WikiLeaks release of the Sony hack that hen I was invited I replied and I directly quote my own email.” Wow! This is so nice!””I’m gonna need some funny ghost writers. Any ideas? ”This initial response now blessly public was from the knowledge that at my class day we were lucky enough to have Will Ferrel as class day speaker and many of us were hung-over, or even freshly high mainly wanted to I have to admit that today, even 12 years after graduation. I’m still insecure about my own have to
哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲稿——人生唯一目标是做自己奥普拉·温弗瑞：美国著名脱口秀主持人、媒体企业家。 奥普拉在哈佛大学2013届毕业典礼的演讲——人生唯一目标是做自己 我要分享的想法是：无论你有多么成功，也许你们会不断追求更高的目标，这就难免会遇到失意之时。我希望届时各位可以记住：世上并不存在失败，那不过是生活试图将我们推向另一个方向罢了。 当你身处困境时，看起来是一种失败。在过去的一年中，我时刻提醒自己牢记这一点。当深陷困境时，感到难过是正常的，给自己一点时间去思考即将失去的一切。关键在于：要从错误中汲取教训，因为所有经验，尤其是你犯下的错误，都将帮助你、推动你更好地做自己，确定下一步何去何从。生活的关键在于建立起一个内在的道德情感导航仪，为你指明方向。因为从今以后，当你用谷歌搜索自己的时候，搜索结果中会提到：“哈佛大学2013毕业生”。在这个充满竞争的世界，这的确是一张抢眼的名片。 我曾招聘过很多人，而每当我看到哈佛大学这个字眼时，我总是会坐直一些说：“他 们在哪?把他们统统带过来。”正是这张抢眼的名片可以成就你们的未来之路。你们可能成 为律师、议员、首席执行官、科学家、物理学家、诺贝尔奖及普利策奖得主，甚至深夜脱口秀节目主持人。但生活的挑战在于创建一份不仅陈述所期望的职位的履历，而且上面要明确成就怎样的自我。这份履历不仅需要表达你想成就一番怎样的事业，也要明确动机，除了头衔与职位，也要有达成目标的缘由。你的使命是什么?你的信仰是什么?你的目标是 什么?只有这样，当你不慎跌倒发现自深陷困境之时，才能帮助你重振旗鼓。 我是在1994年才认识到这一点的。那年我采访了一位凭一己之力积攒了1000美元 零花钱的小女孩，她将这钱捐出来帮助有需要的人。这个九岁大的小女孩促使我思考，仅凭一个存钱罐与雄心壮志就能做到这样，那我可以做些什么呢?于是我号召我的观众们捐 出他们的零钱，在一个月内，仅仅是一枚枚零钱硬币就募到了300万美金。我们用这笔 钱资助每个州的一位学子进入大学的殿堂。我所做的仅仅是号召我的观众，“尽己所能， 无论地域与地位，如果可能，请贡献出你们的时间、智慧与财力。无论你在哪里，请为他人送去自己的仁爱之心。”观众也用行动表明了一切。我们在12个不同的城镇建起了55 所学校，修缮了300栋被“丽塔”飓风和“卡特里娜”飓风摧毁的民宅。 创办“天使网络”的想法在我心中萦绕已久，也正是“天使网络”让我确定了心中的那个 导航仪。我决定不再单一地制作电视节目，还要关注节目的终极理念、采访对象、行业发展和慈善事业等等。无论我们追求什么，将我们团结在一起的信念胜过其他一切。作为一个19岁就出现在电视节目中的孩子，起初我并不明白这个道理，直到1994年才有所醒
哈佛校长毕业演说辞 哈佛校长毕业演说辞，本文收录了哈佛大学女校长2008年的毕业演讲，哈佛历史上第一位女性校长，第一位非哈佛毕业生校长，杰出的历史学家，2001年从宾西法尼业大学到哈佛的Radcliffe 学院任教 哈佛校长毕业演说辞 In the curious custom of this venerable institution, I find myself standing before you expected to impart words of lasting wisdom. Here I am in a pulpit, dressed like a Puritan minister —an apparition that would have horrified many of my distinguished forebears and perhaps rededicated some of them to the
extirpation of witches. This moment would have propelled Increase and Cotton into a true “Mather lather.” But here I am and there you are and it is the moment of and for Veritas. You have been undergraduates for four years. I have been president for not quite one. You have known three presidents; I one senior class. Where then lies the voice of experience? Maybe you should be offering the wisdom. Perhaps our roles could be reversed and I could, in Harvard Law School style, do cold calls for the next hour or so. We all do seem to have made it to this point — more or less in one piece. Though I recently learned that we have not provided you with dinner since May 22. I know we need to wean you from Harvard in a figurative sense. I never knew we took it quite so literally. But let’s return to that notion of cold calls for a moment. Let’s
I'm honored to be with you today because, let's face it, you accomplished something I never could. If I get through this speech, it'll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard. Class of 2017, congratulations! I'm an unlikely speaker, not just because I dropped out, but because we're technically in the same generation. We walked this yard less than a decade apart, studied the same ideas and slept through the same Ec10 lectures. We may have taken different paths to get here, especially if you came all the way from the Quad, but today I want to share what I've learned about our generation and the world we're building together. But first, the last couple of days have brought back a lot of good memories. How many of you remember exactly what you were doing when you got that email telling you that you got into Harvard? I was playing Civilization and I ran downstairs, got my dad, and for some reason, his reaction was to video me opening the email. That could have been a really sad video. I swear getting into Harvard is still the thing my parents are most proud of me for. What about your first lecture at Harvard? Mine was Computer Science 121 with the incredible Harry Lewis. I was late so I threw on a t-shirt and didn't realize until afterwards it was inside out and backwards with my tag sticking out the front. I couldn't figure out why no one would talk to me -- except one guy, KX Jin, he just went with it. We ended up doing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook. And that, Class of 2017, is why you should be nice to people. But my best memory from Harvard was meeting Priscilla. I had just launched this prank website Facemash, and the ad board wanted to "see me". Everyone thought I was going to get kicked out. My parents came to help me pack. My friends threw me a going away party. As luck would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friend. We met in line for the bathroom in the Phoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all time romantic lines, I said: "I'm going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly." Actually, any of you graduating can use that line. I didn't end up getting kicked out -- I did that to myself. Priscilla and I started dating. And, you know, that movie made it seem like Facemash was so important to creating Facebook. It wasn't. But without Facemash I wouldn't have met Priscilla, and she's the most important person in my life, so you could say it was the most important thing I built in my time here. We've all started lifelong friendships here, and some of us even families. That's

哈佛校长2016年毕业典礼演讲 Greetings, alumni, graduates, families, and friends. It is such a pleasure to see you all he re and offercongratulations on this day of celebration. I am in the unenviable role of war m-up act for one ofthe greatest storytellers of our - or any other - time. Nevertheless, m y assignment is to offer a fewreflections on this magnificent institution at this moment in its history. And what a moment it is! From comments of astonished pundits on television, in print, and online, to conversations withbewildered friends and colleagues, the question seems unavoidable and mesmerizin g: What is goingon? What is happening to the world? The tumultuous state of American politics, spotlighted in thiscontentious presidential contest; the political challenges around the globe from Brazil to Brexit; theMiddle East in flames; a refugee crisis in Europe; terr orists exploiting new media to perform chillingacts of brutality and murder; climate-relate d famine in Africa and fires in Canada. It is as if we arebeing visited by the horsemen of t he apocalypse with war, famine, natural disaster and, yes, evenpestilence - as Zika sprea ds, aided by political controversy and paralysis. As extraordinary as these times may seem to us, Harvard reminds us we have been here before. Itis in some ways reassuring at this 365th Commencement to recall all that Harv ard has enduredover centuries. A number of these festival rites took place under clouds of war; others in times offinancial crisis and despair; still others in face of epidemics - fro m smallpox in the 17th century tothe devastating flu of 1918 to the H1N1 virus just a fe w years ago. Harvard has not just survivedthese challenges, but has helped to confront t hem. We sing in our alma mater about "Calm risingthrough change and through storm." What does that mean for today's crises? Where douniversities fit in this threatening mix? What can we do? What should we do? What must we do? We are gathered today in Tercentenary Theatre, with Widener Library and Memorial Chu rchstanding before and behind us, enduring symbols of Harvard's larger identity and pur poses,testaments to what universities do and believe at a time when we have never nee ded them more.And much is at stake, for us and for the world. We look at Widener Library and see a great edifice, a backdrop of giant columns where p hotos aretaken and 27 steps are worn down ever so slightly by the feet of a century of st udents andscholars. We also see a repository of learning, with 57 miles of shelving at the heart of a librarysystem of some 17 million books, a monument to reason and knowledg e, to the collection andpreservation of the widest possible range of beliefs, and experienc es, and facts that fuel free inquiryand our constantly evolving understanding. A vehicle fo r Veritas - for exploring the path to truthwherever it may lead. A tribute to the belief that knowledge matters, that facts matter - in thepresent moment, as a basis for the informe
The Spider’s Bite When I was in middle school, a poisonous spider bit my right hand. I ran to my mom for help—but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on fire.After wrapping my hand with several layers of cotton, then soaking it in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth,and ignited the cotton. 在我上中学的时候，一只有毒蜘蛛咬伤了我的右手，我去找母亲帮忙，但是她没有找医生，却把我的手放在火上面。她用酒浸过的棉纱绕着我的手缠了好几层之后，在我的嘴里放了一根筷子，然后点燃了棉纱。 【语言点解析】 Poisonous表示有毒的；恶毒的；讨厌的。例句：A lot of poisonous waste water comes from that chemical factory. 那个化工厂排出大量有毒的废水。 Heat quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my hand. The searing pain made me want to scream, but the chopstick prevented it. All I could do was watch my hand burn - one minute, then two minutes –until mom put out the fire. 棉纱上的温度很快上来了，我的手也开始发烫。这股灼痛让我想要大叫，不过我嘴里含着的筷子让我叫不出来。我唯一能做的就是看着我的手骨，一分钟过去了，两分钟过去了，直到母亲熄灭火。 You see, the part of China I grew up in was a rural village, and at that time pre-industrial. When I was born, my village had no cars, no telephones, no electricity, not even running water. And we certainly didn’t have access to modern medical resources. 所以你看到，我是在中国的一个小山村里成长的，在那个时候，并不发达。在我出生的那个年代，我们村没车、没电话、也没电，甚至都没有自来水！且理所当然地，我没有接触现代医疗资源的办法。 There was no doctor my mother could bring me to see about my spider bite.For those who study biology, you may have grasped the science behind my mom’s cure: heat deactivates proteins, and a spider’s venom is simply a form of protein. It’s cool how that folk remedy actually incorporates basic biochemistry, isn’t it? 当我被蜘蛛咬伤时，并没有医生可以来治疗我。对于学生物学的人来说，你也许能找到我母亲治愈背后所包含的科学原理：热量能够让蛋白质失活，而蜘蛛的毒液都是蛋白质组成的。将这个土方子和生物化学基础联系起来很神奇，不是吗？ 【语言点解析】 Folk remedy表示偏方。例句：The active component, willow bark, was used as a folk remedy as long ago as the 5th century BC. 它来自早在公元前五世纪就被用于民间配方的柳树皮，是这种树皮的一种有效成分。 But I am a PhD student in biochemistry at Harvard, I now know that better, less painful and less risky treatments existed. So I can’t help but ask myself, why I didn’t receive one at the time? 不过我现在是一个在哈佛学习生物化学的博士生，我现在知道了一个更好的、不那么痛、危险系数更小的治疗方法。所以，我忍不住问我自己，为什么那个时候我不能接受更好的治疗吗？
奥普拉哈佛毕业典礼演讲：人生唯一目标就是做真实的自己 oh my goodness! im at haaaaaarvard! thats how oprah winfrey began her speech at harvard university graduation ceremony—in her spirited, signature way. winfrey also received an honorary doctor of law degree from the university before taking to the podium. 温弗瑞演讲中4条最励志的语录 谈失败的好处 there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in another direction. 世间并不存在“失败”，那不过是生活想让我们换个方向走走罢了。 learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are. 要 从错误中吸取教训，因为你的每一次经历、尤其是你犯下的错误，都将帮助你、推动你更好 地做自己。 2. on her own biggest personal failure. 谈自身最大的失败 我突然想到某首古老赞美诗中的一句话：“困难只是暂时的”，我遇到的麻烦同样会有结 束的一天。然后我想，我会将这一页翻过去，我会好起来的。 谈职业生涯所做访谈的共同性 beyonce in all her beyonce-ness ... they all want to know: was that okay? did you hear me? did you see me? did what i said mean anything to you? 我发现，我所有的访谈有一个共同性，那就是人人都希望自己被认可、被理解。 they all want to know: was that okay? did you hear me? did you see me? did what i said mean anything to you? 我的采访对象都想知道：“我的表现ok吗？你听到我看到我吗？我说的话对你有价值 吗？” 4. on the key to success and happiness. 谈成功和快乐的关键 you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal. there really is only one, and that is this: to fulfill the highest, most truthful expression of yourself as a human being. 如果你只认准一个目标，那你就能获得真正的成功和快乐。人生确实只有一个目标，那 就是：最大程度地、最真实地展现自己。 “不要问自己世界需要什么，问问是什么让你精神抖擞地活着，然后就去做，因为世界 所需要的就是一个个朝气蓬勃的人。”篇二：奥普拉哈佛毕业典礼演讲 奥普拉哈佛毕业典礼演讲：人生唯一目标就是做真实的自己 oprah winfrey: oh my goodness! im at harvard! wow! to president faust, my fellow honorands, carl that was so beautiful, thank you so much, and james rothenberg, stephanie wilson, harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend dr. henry lewis gates. oprah winfrey: all of you alumni with a special bow to the class of 88, your hundred fifteen million dollars. oprah winfrey: and to you, members of the harvard class of 2013! hello! oprah winfrey: and we understand that most americans believe in a clear path to citizenship for the 12,000,000 undocumented immigrants who reside in this country
Thank you so much for inviting me. The senior class committee. 非常感谢你们邀请我。感谢大四学生会。 It's genuinely one of the most exciting thing I've ever been asked to do. 这真是我被邀请过的最令人兴奋的一件事。 I have to admit primarily because I can't deny it. 我不得不承认，这主要是因为我没法儿否认它。 As it was leaked in the WikiLeaks release of the Sony hack that when I was invited I replied and I directly quote my own email :"wow this is so nice." 因为维基解密公布的索尼被黑资料中爆出了我受邀之时的邮件回复：“哇哦，这真是太棒了。” "I'm gonna need some funny ghost writers, any ideas?" “我得去物色几个搞笑代笔啊，你有啥建议么？” This initial response now blessedly public with from the knowledge at my class day we were lucky enough to have Will Ferrell as class speaker, and many of us were hung-over, or even freshly high, mainly wanted to laugh. 这段人尽皆知的最初回复背后的原因是我们毕业日时有幸请到了威尔法瑞尔做演讲，当时我们中的大多数都宿醉未醒，或刚开始嗨起来，于是只想笑。 So I have to admit that today, even twelve years after graduation. I'm still insecure about my own worthiness. 所以我不得不承认，即使是在毕业十二年后的今天，我依然对自己的价值毫无自信。 I have to remind myself today you are here for a reason. 我不得不提醒自己，今天你在这里是有原因的。 Today I feel much like I did when I came to Harvard as a freshman in 1999 when you guys were to make continued shock and horror still in kindergarten. 今天的感觉很像我在1999年来到哈佛大学时那样，对此我很震惊，因为你们那时还在上幼儿园。
Faust毕业典礼致辞哈佛大学校长Drew 哈佛大学Drew Faust：最好的教育即培养精神习惯Faust于Memorial Church向身着方帽长袍的毕业生发表了一年一度的毕业班告别讲话。一年一度的毕业仪式在毕业典礼之前举行，包括祈祷、唱诗及校长为毕业班进行的告别演讲。 “牢记正是通艺教育为各位应对变革做好了准备，”Faust说。“更新我们的承诺并重新规划人生的机会是一项仅供少数几代人拥有的特权。而现时它不是一种可能，而是一种必要。” 这一几乎与哈佛大学同样古老的仪式可以追溯到1642年。当年的举行的第一次仪式使哈佛的工作人员及神职人员有机会在更安格按照流程进行的毕业典礼之前向毕业生发表讲话。 这一仪式由基督教道德Plummer 讲席教授及Memorial Church蒲塞牧师Rev. Peter J. Gomes主持，主要以儒学、伊斯兰教、印度教、犹太教及基督教读物为特色。 Faust的讲话是仪式的中心亮点。 她称哈佛大学强调通艺教育正是为了这样的危机时刻设计的。 第一，不管今后学习、生活在何方，都要志存高远，做个对社会负责、对家庭负责、对自己负责的人。我们所有的
学生都要懂得，只要你们不懈地努力，美好的明天属于你们每一位同学。 “我们一直坚持最好的教育即培养精神习惯，一种分析的精神、一种评判及探究的能力，这能使你们胜任于任何环境或者选择任何职业方向，”Faust说。“这一理念怎能比现在这一时刻更为适合?” Faust号召毕业生勇往直前应对挑战，指出尽管我们不喜欢不确定性，但是不确定的时代为个人成长及职业生涯成长都提供了机会。她引用了作家Joan Didion的话将应对生活形容为“严苛与安逸、束缚与自由、理智及直觉充满魔力的交汇处。”她也引用爵士音乐大师Charlie Parker的话，“掌控你的乐器、掌控音乐，之后忘情演奏。” Faust指出，不确定性和应对对于要求准确性的领域如物理学和药学也是十分重要的。而在人文领域，应对是基于结构和研究的自然产生的表达。 Faust以回忆她的在1968年的毕业典礼作为演讲的结束。20世纪60年代末和70年代初的学生毕业于社会巨大变革成为可能性的时代。她指出，曾经失去许诺现今已经回归，并号召毕业生抓住属于他们的机遇。 “继续掌控你的乐器。继续掌控你的音乐。”Faust说。“不时回到学校让我们知道你进展如何。我相信在完成这项任务上没有任何一群人能比你们更值得我信任。”

Faust给2008年本科毕业生的演讲cVC大学生英语网 在这所久负盛名的大学的别具一格的仪式上，我站在了你们的面前，被期待着给予一些蕴含着恒久智慧的言论。站在这个讲坛上，我穿得像个清教徒教长——一个可能会吓到我的杰出前辈们的怪物，或许使他们中的一些人重新致力于铲除巫婆的事业上。这个时刻也许曾激励了很多清教徒成为教长。但现在，我在上面，你们在下面，此时此刻，属于真理，为了真理。cVC大学生英语网 In the curious custom of this venerable institution, I find myself standing before you expected to impart words of lasting wisdom. Here I am in a pulpit, dressed like a Puritan minister —an apparition that would have horrified many of my distinguished forebears and perhaps rededicated some of them to the extirpation of witches. This moment would have propelled Increase and Cotton into a true “Mather lather.” But here I am and there you are and it is the moment of and for Veritas.cVC 大学生英语网 You have been undergraduates for four years. I have been president for not quite one. You have known three presidents; I one senior class. Where then lies the voice of experience? Maybe you should be offering the wisdom. Perhaps our roles could be reversed and I could, in Harvard Law School style, do cold calls for the next hour or so.cVC大学生英语网 你们已经在哈佛做了四年的大学生，而我当哈佛校长还不到一年。你们认识了三个校长，而我只认识了你们这一届大四的。算起来我哪有资格说什么经验之谈？或许应该由你们上来展示一下智慧。要不我们换换位置？然后我就可以像哈佛法学院的学生那样，在接下来的一个小时内不时地冷不防地提出问题。cVC大学生英语网 cVC大学生英语网 We all do seem to have made it to this point — more or less in one piece. Though I recently learned that we have not provided you with dinner since May 22. I know we need to wean you from Harvard in a figurative sense. I never knew we took it quite so literally.cVC大学生英语网 学校和学生们似乎都在努力让时间来到这一时刻，而且还差不多是步调一致的。我这两天才得知哈佛从5月22日开始就不向你们提供伙食了。虽然有比喻说“我们早晚得给你们断奶”，但没想到我们的后勤还真的早早就把“奶”给断了。cVC大学生英语网 cVC大学生英语网 But let’s return to that notion of cold calls for a moment.
