【全球瘋傳】美首席大法官畢典致辭：祝你不幸又遭背叛

https://youtu.be/Gzu9S5FL-Ug （致辭影片）





以下為致詞節錄中譯文：




畢業致詞者通常會給學生一些建議。他們會給一些廣泛的建議，也會給一些有用的小撇步
。最常給的建議就是：做自己。給所有人一樣的建議實在有點怪，但你們確實應該做自己


以下為英文原文：
「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. 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. I hope that you will suffer
betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty. Sorry to say,
but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take
friends for granted. I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that
you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your
success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not
completely deserved either. And when you lose, as you will from time to time,
I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is
a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship. I hope you’ll
be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you
will have just enough pain to learn compassion. Whether I wish these things
or not, they’re going to happen. And whether you benefit from them or not
will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes.

Now commencement speakers are also expected to give some advice. They give
grand advice, and they give some useful tips. The most common grand advice
they give is for you to be yourself. It is an odd piece of advice to give
people dressed identically, but you should — you should be yourself. But you
should understand what that means. Unless you are perfect, it does not mean
don’t make any changes. In a certain sense, you should not be yourself. You
should try to become something better. People say ‘be yourself’ because
they want you to resist the impulse to conform to what others want you to be.
But you can’t be yourself if you don't learn who are, and you can’t learn
who you are unless you think about it. 」
