I'm not very good at giving advice. We all know that's Bill O'Reilly's job and he does it very well. I actually googled graduation speeches to see what kind of advice other people give at these kind of things, and believe me, they are incredibly cheesy. Goldie Hawn told graduates at AU, and I quote, "While you are continuing to walk down that sometimes bumpy1 road of life, develop the art of laughter and joy. Keep in your backpack of treasures the whole you, the best you, the you that wont't fear failure." Yeah, think about it. Think about it. Backpack of treasures. Very true. Yoko Ono gave a commencement speeck (she didn't sing it, she actually talked at it.) She said:"I say you can't stand if you've got too much muck in your head. Let it go, and dance through life." So true, so much muck, you know? Muck is a big problem. Of course, it's easier to dance through life if you have a billion dollars, but I digress.
我并不擅长给建议。我们大家都知道，提建议是比尔·奥雷利（“脱口秀”主持人）的工作，而且他做得很棒。事实上，我在谷歌上面搜索了毕业演讲，看看别人都在毕业演讲上提过什么样的建议，相信我，这些建议都是非常好的。在此我引用戈尔迪·霍恩在美国大学毕业典礼上的一句话：“人生之路难免坎坷，所以要学会欢笑和愉悦的艺术。把完整的你、最优秀的和你不惧失败的你都珍藏在行囊中吧！”是的，想想看，好好想想这句话。用珍贵的事物装满行囊。说得太好了。小野洋子在某一大学的毕业演讲中说道（她是说的，不是唱的），“当你的头脑中充斥着太多杂念时，你将变得无法承受。清除那些杂念，随着生活轻舞吧！”说得太好了！有太多杂念，你们知道吗？杂念是个大问题。当然，如果你有10亿美元的话，也许更容易让生活轻舞飞扬。但这样说似乎有点跑题了。
Since my mom gave me advice from television, I'm actually going to give you advice from a movie, because that's the best I could come up with,
frankly2. It's one of my favorite movies:"Lawrence of Arabia." It's a cool movie, I know. There's a line in it where Lawrence says, "Nothing is written." And for you, I think, on this day, at this moment in your lives, I think that is especially true. Nothing is written.You've been taught how to write for yourselves. This weekend, the
slate3 is wiped clean. There are no words that you have to use. There are no sentences you must complete. You stand before a field of freshly fallen snow; there are no footprints that you have to follow. Nothing is written. And I hope you know that it is truly a rare and wonderful place to be. Congratulations, Class of 2006. You
deserve4 it.
既然母亲给我的建议是从电视上学来的，我也打算给你们一个我从电影中学来的建议，因为坦率地说，这是我能想到的最好的建议。那是我最喜欢的电影之一——《阿拉伯的劳伦斯》中的一句话。我知道这是很棒的一部电影。电影中劳伦斯说了一句：“没有什么是注定的。”我想，对你们来说，在这个特殊的日子，在生命中的这一时刻，这句话显得尤为贴切。没有什么是注定的。你们已经学会了如何谱写自己的人生。这个周末，一切将一笔勾销。没有必须要使用的言辞，没有必须要完成的句子，你们站在一片刚刚落满雪的旷野，前方没有必须要追随的足迹。没有什么是注定的。我希望你们将走向一个罕见而美丽的地方。祝贺你们，2006届的毕业生们！你们值得拥有这一切！
