[00:15.12] Class of 2009! 09屆的同學(xué)們! [00:18.19] I do not think I heard you. 來點(diǎn)激情給我個(gè)回應(yīng)。 [00:19.88] Class of 2009! 09屆的同學(xué)們! [00:25.31] First I want you to stand up and wave and cheer your supportive family and friends! 各位同學(xué)，我希望大家站起來向支持你們的親朋好友揮手致意。 [00:31.57] I am sure you can find them out there. 你們一定能在人群中找到他們， [00:35.62] Show your love! 借此機(jī)會表達(dá)你們的愛吧! [00:50.25] It is a great honor for me to be here today. 能站在這里我感到非常榮幸。 [00:53.26] Now wait a second. 等等， [00:55.68] I know: that's such a cliche. 大家可能覺得有點(diǎn)矯情。 [00:58.59] You 're thinking: every graduation speaker says that - It's a great honor. “我很榮幸”這句話都說爛了。 [01:04.50] But, in my case, it really is so deeply true being here is more special and more personal for me than most of you know. 但真的是大實(shí)話，大家不知道：我對密歇根大學(xué)有特殊的感情。 [01:14.75] I 'd like to tell you why. 我告訴你們原因。 [01:17.48] A long time ago, in this cold September of 1962,there was a Steven's co op at this very university. 很久以前，1962年9月，天很冷，在密歇根大學(xué)里有一家餐廳， [01:32.24] That co op had a kitchen with a ceiling that had been cleaned by student volunteers probably every decade or so. 學(xué)生志愿者負(fù)責(zé)打掃廚房的天花板，大約十年才會打掃一次。 [01:42.28] Picture a college girl named Gloria, climbing up high on a ladder, struggling to clean that filthy ceiling. 想象一下：有個(gè)叫格洛麗亞的女學(xué)生，爬上了高高的梯子，努力地打掃臟兮兮的天花板。 [01:51.67] Standing on the floor, a young boarder named Carl was admiring the view. 而一個(gè)叫卡爾的寄宿生在下面偷窺， [02:00.40] And that's how they met. 這是他倆的初次邂逅， [02:03.26] They were my parents, so I suppose you could say I 'm a direct result of that kitchen chemistry experiment, right here at Michigan. 他們就是我父母。所以說，我是地地道道從密歇根大學(xué)廚房里造出來的， [02:18.71] My Mom is here with us today, and we should probably go find the spot and put a plaqueup on the ceiling that says:" Thanks Mom and Dad! 我母親今天也來了。我想找到當(dāng)年那個(gè)廚房，在天花板掛個(gè)匾上刻"感謝父母"! [02:29.00]" Everyone in my family went here to Michigan: my brother, my Mom, my Dad -- all of us. 我的家人都畢業(yè)于密歇根大學(xué)：我哥、我父母、還有我。 [02:35.54] My Dad actually got the quantity discount: He got all three and a half of his degrees here. 我爸在文憑數(shù)量上更勝一籌：他在這獲得了三個(gè)半學(xué)位， [02:41.74] His Ph.D. was in Communication Science because they thought Computers were just a passing fad when he earned it 44 years ago. 其中一個(gè)是通信工程的博士。44年前，他們認(rèn)為計(jì)算機(jī)火不了多久。 [02:52.11] He and Mom made a big sacrifice for that degree. 為取得這個(gè)學(xué)位，爸媽做出了很大的犧牲。 [02:54.73] They argued at times over pennies, while raising my newborn brother. 為了撫養(yǎng)剛出生的哥哥，省吃儉用。 [02:59.87] Mom typed my Dad's dissertation by hand, kind of ironic of those computer science dissertation. 堂堂計(jì)算機(jī)博士，論文是我媽逐字敲出來的，諷刺吧? [03:07.88] This velvet hood I 'm wearing, this was my Dad's. 我身上這套博士服是我爸的， [03:15.79] This diploma, yeah, this diploma I have here that just like the one you are about to get this is my Dad's. 還有這張畢業(yè)證，跟你們即將拿到手的一樣，也是我爸的。 [03:34.75] And my underwear, oh never mind, sorry. 還有我的內(nèi)褲，呃……算了。
