苹果CEO库克在乔治?华盛顿大学2015毕业典礼上英语演讲稿 　　Hello GW. Thank you very much, President Knapp, for that kind intro. Alex, trustees, faculty and deans of the university, my fellow honorees, and especially you the class of 2015. Yes. 　　You know, this is really an amazing place. And for a lot of you, I’m sure that being here in Washington, the very center of our democracy, was a big draw when you were choosing which school to go to. This place has a powerful pull. It was here that Dr. Martin Luther King challenged Americans to make real the promises of democracy, to make justice a reality for all of God#39;s children. 　　Congratulations to you, to your family, to your friends that are attending today#39;s ceremony.You made it. It#39;s a privilege, a rare privilege of a lifetime to be with you today. And I thinkthank you enough for making me an honorary Colonial. 　　最近，我常常考虑一个问题:假如我可以再度过一次大学生活，又会选择怎样的生活方式?会努力地追求些什么?放弃些什么?有些问题真的会有和当时不一样的答案。 　　Before I begin today, they asked me to make a standard announcement. You#39;ve heard thisbefore. About silencing your phones. Those of you with an iPhone, just place it in silent mode.If you don#39;t have an iPhone, please pass it to the center aisle. Apple has a world#8209;class recyclingprogram. 　　同学们，四年时光转瞬而过，你们即将告别自己的本科时代，告别这段难以割舍的青春岁月。前段时间有一部很受欢迎的电影——《致我们终将逝去的青春》，里面有一句独白这样讲：“青春是一场远行，回不去了。青春是一场相逢，忘不掉了。青春是一场伤痛，来不及了。”电影中展示的青春，随着时光的推移，终将无可奈何地逝去。但在我看来，只要同学们永远怀有梦想，永远坚定追求，永远相信成长，那么无论你们身在何方，青春都不会远去。因为青春的力量永远与你们同在，激励着你们为了梦想而执着前行。 　　You know, this is really an amazing place.
