　　You've really got it, made it in life when you can be refered to by one name like Steve or something like that

　　当你能被人们用一个名字提起 比如史蒂夫什么的 你的生活就真的很成功了

　　My proudest moment of my life, I get asked that all the time, and I think back to pictures I've seen at my diploma,

　　我经常被问到我人生中最引以为豪的时刻 想想我的毕业证书上的照片

　　It was my graduation day right here in this campus

　　就会回答 是我在这个校园里毕业的那一天

　　So hear that I've never said otherwise

　　听我说 我从没有过其他的答案

　　Now my wife and I are both a little bit mathematical

　　我的妻子和我都有点数学式思维

　　I'm not gonna make a real profound speech because the ideas you get in your own head are where the real profound comes from

　　我不准备做一篇非常深奥的演讲 因为真正深奥的东西来自于你们自己脑中的想法

　　My wife and I are mathematical

　　我的妻子和我习惯数学式思维

　　So when we go to a hotel, we judge the room by the room number

　　所以当我们到达一个旅馆的时候 我们会根据房间号来评判房间

　　And so this time my wife determinedly¹ said 4 or 9, that's 2 squared or 3 squared We got a good room

　　这回我妻子坚定地说 要4或者9号吧 那是2和3的平方 我们选了一个好房间

　　Along those lines I'll give you a little homework episode which is is there a full moon on the same day everywhere on earth?

　　在演讲当中我会给你们布置一点小小的作业 地球上的所有地方会不会在同一天迎来满月

　　Think about that on your own time

　　你们自己下去想

　　Another thing that I always get in my mind is the tassel² was on the right when I graduated from Berkeley

　　另外一件让我挥之不去的事情是 我从伯克利毕业的时候 流苏在右边

　　And when we graduated we move the tassel to the left

　　毕业之后我们把流苏挪到左边

　　I assumed this must be a standard rule of universities

　　我原以为这一定是各个大学的一项标准规定

　　When the internet came along I looked it up

　　有了互联网之后我就上网查

　　And I found that some did the opposite way

　　我发现有些大学里的顺序正相反

　　Some had it on all four corners depending on different things

　　有的大学里会根据不同情况把流苏放在四个角上

　　And in Davis, half of the people had it on the left to start with half on the right

　　在戴维斯分校 一半的人开始的时候放在左边 一半放在右边

　　I finally figured out it was to keep the tassel out of the way of your face when your pictures being taken

　　我终于弄明白了 这是为了在拍照的时候 不让流苏挡住你的脸
