正文(中英文翻译):
"通常,毕业典礼的演讲嘉宾都会祝你们好运并送上祝福。
但我不会这样做
让我来告诉你为什么。”
Now the commencement speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good wishes to you. I will not do that, and I’ll tell you why.
“在未来的很多年中,
我希望你被不公正地对待过,
唯有如此
你才真正懂得公正的价值。”
From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice.
“我希望你遭受背叛,
唯有如此
你才领悟到忠诚之重要。”
I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty.
“抱歉的说,
我会祝福你时常感到孤独,
唯有如此
你才不会把良朋益友视为人生中的理所当然。"
Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take friends for granted.
