Distinguished faculty, honoured guests, and the amazing class of 2008, I thank you for this opportunity to briefly address the graduates.
尊敬的老师们、嘉宾们、神奇可爱的08级同学们,非常感谢能有此机会为在座的毕业生作一简短发言。

Graduates, today is a special day, today is your day, I congratulate you.
各位毕业同学们,今天是一个极其特殊的日子,是属于你们自己的日子,我向你们表示贺喜!

But do you remember a day 4 years ago…long, long ago…when you began classes on Meilu campus? I remember. At that time, you had just completed your military training and you were eager, well most of you were eager to begin your academic life. Some of you had never seen a foreigner, or never spoken to a foreigner, or never had a foreign teacher before – well, you survived the lessons with the foreign teachers – you did more than survive – your excelled!
曾记否?四年前的那一天……很久很久以前……当你们开始在麦庐园校区上课的场面?那一幕,我至今难以忘怀;那一刻,你们刚刚结束入学军训,你们热切期盼着、大多数人都满怀憧憬大学学习序幕的掀开;那一课,有些同学与外国人还未曾谋面、未曾交谈、抑或抱有未曾亲身感受过外教上课经历的感慨。现在,你们都亲自体验过外教授课五谷杂陈之滋味—你们所体验的又何止是这种亲身经历,你们是出类拔萃的国际骄子!

Now, you are ready to walk into the next part your lives. Some of you will begin your careers; others of you will continue your studies – no matter what your path is – today may feel bitter sweet. Bitter sweet: the bitter is the sadness that this part of your life is over; the sweet is the happiness that you are beginning something new.
现在,你们即将步入人生的下一阶段。有些同学会将投入自己的职业生涯,其他同学将继续深造学业—无论你们所选择的道路去向如何——今天都会滋生苦乐参半的感触。苦乐参半,苦的是人生中大学生涯告一段落的酸涩苦楚;乐的是即将展现在你们面前焕然一新的生活所赋予的快乐幸福。

As you start the next part of your journey through life, I would like you to share with you three of my core values.
当你们准备启程扬帆下一程人生驿站,我想与在座毕业学子分享共勉以下我的三大价值观。

The first is to always be ethical. I know you understand the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Please, do the right thing.
首先是永远要做一个有道德之人。我知道,你们懂得明辨是非曲直;为人处世,请一定要行正直、扬正义、树正气!

The second is to have compassion, and try to be patient with the people in your life. Remember that every story has at least two sides.
其次是要具有包容同情心,在生活中与人打交道,要尽力学会克制忍耐。切记每一个故事的演绎都离不开多个角色的存在。

The third is to have courage, to be brave when life becomes difficult. Courage and bravery are assets when facing and accepting responsibility for your actions.
第三是不要丧失勇气,勇敢面对生活中的坎坷荆棘。勇气和勇敢是你们今后行动中勇于面对逆境和承担责任的孪生兄弟。

I hope that you are able to build a bridge and be ethical compassionate, patient, courageous, and brave – and that you keep these in your heart.
我衷心祝愿你们是未来成功的架桥者,是集道德心、包容心、耐心、勇气与勇敢于一身的智者——并且务必铭记心中,付之行动!

You have come a long way in four years. Know that your education does not end today; it is only part of your lifelong learning.
大学四年,你们长驱跋涉,一路走来。请记住:你们的学习生涯在今天并未就此终结;这仅仅是你们漫漫人生路茫茫学海中的一段生涯。

I wish you success and happiness in all you do. Congratulations, and thank you for all the wonderful memories I have of you. You were my teacher! xei xei ni man.
我诚挚祝愿在座所有江财国际学子成功幸福。再次恭贺你们顺利毕业,感谢你们给我留下的一切美好记忆!你们是我的益友良师!谢谢你们。
