I’ll give you a quote: 　　我很高兴来到贵校，很荣幸获得贵校邀请，很荣幸看到波士顿大学的又一届毕业生走向社会。我想送你们一句名言： 　　“I am a true adorer of life, and if I can’t reach as high as the face of it, I plant my kiss somewhere lower down. Those who understand will require no further explanation.” 　　“我是生活的真正崇拜者。如果我无法够到它的脸，我会将我的吻贴到我够得到的任何地方。明白我的人，将不需要我进一步解释。” 　　Well, graduates … allow me to explain. 　　好吧，同学们，让我解释一下。 　　You used to have a professor here–a decent writer by the name of Saul Bellow. That comes from his novel Henderson the Rain King. 　　你们这里曾经有一位教授，一位作风正派的作家，笔名为索尔-贝娄(Saul Bellow)。这个笔名来自于他的小说《雨王亨德森》(Henderson the Rain King)。 　　I stand before you today as someone who considers himself an adorer of life. I know what it’s like to plant a kiss on a life lived fully… And I can tell you from experience that, once you understand that, Professor Bellow’s right: that no further explanation is necessary. 　　今天站在你们面前的我也自认是一个崇尚生活的人。我知道拥抱一个完整的人生是怎样的体验。我能以我的经验告诉你，一旦你懂得生活，你就会知道贝娄教授的话是对的，真得无需解释。去尽情拥抱你的人生吧。 　　It’s one quote from countless beautiful lines he wrote over his career. But I feel it best sums up an approach that contains the power to transform an ordinary life into one filled with grace and love and dignity. 　　这句话摘自他一生创作的无数优美的诗句。但是，我认为这句话包含了一种生活态度，这种态度足以将一种平淡的生活转变为充满优雅、爱和尊严的人生。 　　And it also best sums up what a fantastic university like BU has infiltrated in every student who sets foot on this beautiful campus. 　　而且，它还包含了像波士顿大学这样优秀的学府给每个踏进这个美丽校园的学生灌输的思想。 　　Scientists, engineers, writers, artists, business pioneers … governors … Olympic gold medalists … Oscar winners … cabinet secretaries … They all walked across this stage and left to make their mark on the culture, on society, on the world. 　　科学家、工程师、作家、艺术家、企业先锋、政府官员、奥林匹克运动会
