中文翻译在后面也贴出了，但不太精确。
Speech at Y ale Graduation presented by Tom HanksMay 10, 2011I now many of you were convinced that last night about 6 o'clock local time, the world was going to come to an end. Just because it hasn't doesn't mean that it's not nearby, because my appearing today at Y ale University is surely one of the four horseman of the apocalypse. But listen, today is your day. Please do not turn off your electronic devices, leave your IPhones, your Ipads, your sidekicks, your Droids, your blackberries powered up, recording, photographing, texting out all that emerges from this stage over the next few minute. By the way I'm supporting the hat, it ain't coming off. Y ou know later on today you can compare your tweets, and Facebook comments with those of others to figure out if anything memorable went down, hey you know what tweet that last sentence I just said. It will give you something to do, let your friends know where you are today. Okay take this speech set it to music, then maybe insert some crazy kooky graphics. Star in that video yourself, post it on the web, then if it becomes a viral sensation, you will be equal to any cat playing with a paper bag, any set of twin toddlers talking gibberish to each other, as popular as a cute girl that sings about Fridays, hey you could be the next Sam Tsui. Such are just one of the possibilities in our grave new world, the world you now inherit whether you like it or not, the jig is up, the clock is run out, and the future, with a capital F, now rest with all of you and your goofy hats, and all because you went to Y ale. Y ou are now the anointed, the charge holders, the best and the brightest; each of you is shining hope for our nation and the world. Y ou are the new wizards who can finally make since of all the delta vectors, and the square roots, and the divided byes in the theorem, we call the human race. The generations before you came of age, took on the job, now it's your turn, welcome.Y ou know I once had a friend, who had a rich uncle, who promised to pay for his college, as long as my friend wished to stay in school. "Y ou should stay in school, as long as you can," the rich uncle said "Because when you get out of college, you got to work for every day for the rest of you life". And you all will come to understand, what that rich uncle meant, just as surely you will someday wonder where the hell you put your reading glasses, and to yell at your own kids to turn the damn music down. On spring days, like today, it's traditional for us to ponder the state of the world and implore you all to help make it a better place, which implies that things are somehow worse today than when we up here are where you are sitting right now. I'm not so sure that planet earth is in worse shape than it was 30, no 18, no 4 years ago. But that's not to say it's in better shape either, refraining from waxing nostalgic and comparing our then to your now, and avoiding the any talk of you kids these days with your rap and your hip hop and your snoopy dog daddy with the ditty pops, with your fifty cents, and quarter cents. A sober looks shows that just have the world gotten to be a better place after all; it is also grown a bit worse at the exact same rate.; a one step up, a one step back sort of cosmic balance between forward progress, and cultural retreat, that puts man kind on a bell curve of existence, that shows a small segment of joy, ease, and comfort, while equal proportions struggle on, while with little hope in the fortunes with the remainder either on the rise or on the wane that this confounding tide of so many damn things that we grow oblivious the shifts in the quality of our lives. Graduation day is a proper occasion to put a toe inthe global waters and I think the mercury shows that things are much as they always have been.Ten years ago, we busied ourselves with trivial stuff imbued with the importance of in came, 911, in 1991 riches were created in new businesses that never existed, then that economic balloon burst. In 81, I had a great job on TV, and in 82, Bosom Buddies was canceled. In 71, color TV in more living rooms that ever showed young Americans still fighting in combat in Vietnam. In 61, satellites beamed live images around the world for the very first time, but those images were of the building of the Berlin Wall. Now this ten year grid shows this same "yin-yang thang", and I'm trying to copyright that; yin-yang thang- copyright Tom Hanks. This shows this same yin-yang thang on graduation day 2011. Y ou know we all have these devices that can make a permanent record of revolutionary change on the other side of the globe, as well as hate filled diet tribes from across town. Fewer and fewer in our country go to bed hungry but did you know see how obesity now affects about half our population. No matter how many bargains we find at the local U-Mart, many of us still struggle to pay the rent and the utilities. Our country is no longer at physical or even ideological war with our enemies for most of the last century, but in the eleven and a half years of the third millennium, our armed forces have been fighting in the field for nine of them. Purchasing intellectual property and the work of artists we admire is as simple as clicking a mouse and paying less than a few bucks, which means you may find that there's no guarantee in making a living at your chosen discipline. Now some advantages particular to this age, are not to be denied; boredom has seemed to have been vanquished, there is always something to do, but hasn't this translated into a perpetual distraction in our lives. In the bathroom, at the dinner table, in the backseat, at a wedding, at a brisk, at a graduation day; there's always something to check, something to tweet, something to watch, something to download, something to play, something to share, something to buy, someone on a voicemail, something to yank at our attention span and it's all in the palm of our hand for a small monthly service fee. That same technology, has allowed for a surplus of celebrities, and that is nothing to cheer about. Anyone, although that Sam Tsui he rocks, anyone can enjoy the perks of notoriety now and the duration of fame has been lengthened from Andy Warhal's brief 15 minutes, to a good 15 months, if you're willing to do certain things on camera. Though our Willian language is often the vocabulary of official news speak is boogeyman that is the all seen "big brother", has never emerged, unless you live in North Korea, or run a red light in Beverly Hills, or shop online, or have done something stupid in the wrong place or the wrong time in front of someone with a camera in their cell phone, and that is everybody. So pardon my junior college Latin, the vulgestpopuli has become the all seeing state and if you cross it Google Search will forever display you screw up, so actually there is a big brother, but he's not in the level of fiction, he's actually all of us, but he lives in our search engines. So no matter how many times I do the calculations, I come up with a social draw, the positives balance the negatives, the x's equal the y's, and our hopes weigh as much as our fears, but I hesitate on that last one because, fear, good lord, fear is a powerful physiological force in 2011. We here up in the stands, and surrounding you of this graduating class look to you as we do every year, hoping you will now somehow through your labors, free us from what we have come to fear, and we have come to fear many things, fear has become the commodity that sell as certainly as sex. Fear is cheap, fear is easy, fear gets attention, fear is spread as fast as gossip and just as glamorous, juicy, and profitable. Fear twists facts into fiction that becomes indistinguishable from ignorance. Fear is a profit churning go to with a home market being your whole family.Y ou know sitting in the house one day, watching the game on TV not long ago, along came this promo for the local nightly news "Are our schools poisoning our children? That story and our summers hottest bikinis tonight at 11" In that I had that school age kids at the time, I fear that they might be being poisoned, and summer was still a few weeks away. I tooned in to get the scoop, and the actual news stories of that news broadcast was this, a certain supply of hamburger was found to have a bit to much of a particular bacteria in it and for safeties sake, was being taken off the market. That same hamburger was slated for sale to an out of state school system for its cafeterias, but it was recalled in time. So answering that news program's own question then, no, our schools were not poisoning our children, but yes, that summer there would be some very hot bikinis at the beach.Now the early American naval commander, John Paul Jones said "If fear is cultivated, it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery" and this is why I am a big fan of history, because observations of the American colonies over 200 years ago by a compatriot of Nathan Hale, who lived in that building right over there, translates word for word of the United States in 2011 For I take that fear to be fear in a large scale, fear itself intimidating and constant. And I take faith to be, what we hold in ourselves, our American ideal of self-determination. Fear is whispered in our ears and shouted in our faces. Faith must be fostered by the man or woman you see every day in the mirror. The former forever snaps at our heels and our synapsis and delays our course, the later could spur our boot heels to be wonderment, stimulate our creativity, and continue to drive us forward. Fear or faith, which will be our master?Three men found that they could no longer sleep because of their deep seeded fears, this is a story I'm telling. Their lives were in the state of stasis because of their constant worries. So they set out on a pilgrimage to find a wise man, who lived high in the mountains, so high above the tree line, that no vegetation grew, no animals lived, not even insects could be found so high up in the mountains in that thin air. When they reached his cave, the first of the three said "help me wise man, for my fear has crippled me""What is your fear?" asked the wise man"I fear death" said the pilgrim "I wonder when it is going to come for me""Ah, death" said the wise man "Let me take away this fear my friend. Death will not come to call until you are ready for its embrace. Know that and your fear will go away"Well this calmed that pilgrim's mind and he feared death no longer.The wise man turned to the second pilgrim and said "What is it you fear my friend?""I fear my new neighbors" said the second pilgrim "They are strangers, who observe holy days different than mine. They have way to many kids. They play music that sounds like noise""Ah strangers" said the wise man "I will take away this fear my friend. Return to your home and make a cake for your new neighbors. Bring toys to their children. Join them in their songs, and learn their ways, and you will become familiar with these neighbors, and your fear will go away."The second man saw the wisdom in these simple instructions, and knew he would no longer fear the family who were his neighbors. There in the cave so high in the mountains that nothing could live, the wise man turned to the last pilgrim and asked of his fear."Oh wise man, I fear spiders. When I try to sleep at night, I imagine spiders dropping from the ceiling, and crawling upon my flesh, and I cannot rest""Ah, spiders" said the wise man "No shit, why do you think I live way up here?"Fear will get the worst of the best of us, and peddlers of influence count on that. Throughout our nation's constant struggle to create a more perfect union, establish justice, and ensure our domestic tranquility, we battle fear from outside our borders to within our own hearts every day of our history. Our nation came to be despite fear of retribution for treason from a kingdom across the sea. America was made strong and diverse because here people could live free from the fears that made us their daily lives in whatever land they called the old country. Our history books tell of conflicts taken up to free people from fear. Those kept in slavery in our own states, and deliberate home nation from the rule of tyrants and theologies rooted in fear. The American cause at its best has been the cultivation of the faith that declares we will all live in peace, when we are all free to worship as we choose, when we are free to express our hearts, and when we all seek a place free from fear, but we live in a world where to many of us are to ready to believe and fear things that do not exist, conspiracies abound, divisions are constructed, and the differences between us are not celebrated for making us stronger but calculated and programed to set us against each other. Our faith is tested by unpredictable providence, and threatened when common sense in corrupted by specific interests.Speaking from 54 years of experience, the work towards a more perfect union is a never ending concern that involves each and every one of us. Evidence that our nation is becoming a better place is everywhere, but each new day, fear is as the Jersey poet says "lurking in the darkness on the edge of town".Y our rising from bed every morning will give fear its chance to grow stronger just as it will afford faith its chance to blossom. Y ou will make the choice to react to one or create the other, and because you are smart enough to earn you place on this college day at Y ale University, you will sense the moment, and you will know what to do.In the meantime ponder this front in the struggle against ceaseless fear and its ceaseless flow. In the coming months and years veterans of war in Iraq and Afghanistan will finally come home for good. After so many tours, and we know this, some after many tours on the body and soul have spilled a great portion of their lives. For all of them after a long time has spent far away in the harsh realm of war, and they return different from what they were when they left. Surely their faithin themselves is shadowed by a fear of not knowing what is expected of them next. Now no matter what your view of those wars over there, you can affect the future of our nation right here by taking their fears head on. Y ou can imprint the very next pages of the history of our troubled world by reinforcing the faith of those returning veterans, allowing them to rest, aiding in their recovery, if possible their complete recovery. So let those of us who watch the debate of their long deployments serve them now as they served as they were asked and as they were ordered. Let's provide them a place free of fear, by educating them if they can learn, by employing them as they transition from soldier back to citizen, and by empathizing with the new journey they are starting even though we will never fully understand the journey they just completed. We all will define the true nature of our American identity, not by the parades and the welcome home parties, but now we match their time in the service with service of our own. Give it four years, as many years as you just spent here at Y ale, in acts both proactive and spontaneous, and do the things that you can to free veterans of the new uncertainty that awaits them, from the mysterious fear they will face the day after they come home. Cultivate in them the faith to carry on and they will do the rest.So commencements day arrives, your work begins, work that will not always be joyful to you, labor that might not always fulfill you, and days that will seem like one damn thing after the other. It's true, you will now work every day for the rest of your lives. That full time job, your career as human beings, and as Americans, and as graduates of Y ale, is to stand on the fulcrum of fear and faith. Fear at your back, faith in front of you. Which way will you lead? Which way will you move? Move forward, move ever forward, and tweet out the picture of your results. It may make you as famous as Sam Tsui.Transcription on Chinese汤姆·汉克斯2011年耶鲁大学毕业生演讲我知道，在座很多人相信昨晚（2011年5月21日）六点是世界末日（笑声）（掌声）。
耶鲁校长毕业演讲
耶鲁校长毕业演讲尊敬的各位教职员工、亲爱的同学们：大家好！首先，我要对同学们的顽强拼搏和艰苦付出表示由衷的敬意与祝贺。
我们即将舍弃熟悉的校园，迎接更加广阔的人生舞台，今天，我想和大家分享一些关于人生的思考。
人生犹如一条长长的旅程，有时充满阳光与欢乐，有时又阴云密布，甚至黑暗无边。
但无论何时，我们都要勇往直前，积极面对。
毕业并不是终点，而是一个新的起点。
在人生的道路上，我们会遇到各种各样的挑战，但正是这些挑战使得人生更加有意义。
首先，我们要有梦想。
梦想是人生的指南针，是我们前行的动力。
耶鲁大学的校训“Lux et veritas”即“光明与真理”，为我们指明了前进的方向。
我们要有志向，追求光明，追求真理。
无论是成为一名科学家、艺术家还是社会活动家，我们都要坚持自己的梦想，不断追求进步和创新。
同时，我们要保持好奇心。
好奇心是人类进步的源泉，它驱使我们不断地思考、探索和学习。
苹果掉在牛顿头上，爱因斯坦发现相对论，这些都是好奇心的驱动下发生的伟大发现。
人生中的每一次机遇都是一扇大门，我们要敢于推开它，去发现新的世界，去实现自己的梦想。
同样重要的是，我们要保持坚持不懈的努力。
人生没有捷径可走，只有不断地付出和努力，才能取得成功。
当我们面临困难和挫折时，我们要学会坚持，不轻易放弃。
只有在坚持中，我们才能克服困难，取得真正的成长和进步。
最后，我们要珍惜友谊。
在耶鲁的时光里，我们结交了一生中的朋友，他们陪伴我们一起成长、一起学习，给予我们爱与支持。
这些友谊将伴随我们一生，无论何时何地，我们都要珍惜友谊，彼此支持、鼓励和帮助。
在这个喜悦而忧伤的日子里，我想对你们说：无论将来的道路如何曲折，无论前方的困难如何丛生，你们都不要害怕，勇敢地面对它们。
你们是耶鲁的骄傲，你们有着无尽的潜力和创造力。
相信自己，相信自己的能力，我相信，你们一定会取得辉煌的成就。
最后，我祝愿每一位毕业生都能在人生的旅途中找到属于自己的光明与真理，创造出属于自己的更加辉煌的未来。
拉里埃里森在耶鲁大学2000届毕业典礼上的惊人演讲(中英文)
拉里埃里森在耶鲁大学2000届毕业典礼上的演讲耶鲁的毕业生们，我很抱歉－－如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。
我想请你们为我做一件事。
请你---好好看一看周围，看一看站在你左边的同学，看一看站在你右边的同学。
请你设想这样的情况：从现在起5年之后，10年之后，或30年之后，今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者；右边的这个人，同样，也是个失败者。
而你，站在中间的家伙，你以为会怎样？一样是失败者。
失败的经历。
失败的优等生。
说实话，今天我站在这里，并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂未来。
我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者，我只看到了一千个失败者。
你们感到沮丧，这是可以理解的。
为什么，我，埃里森，一个退学生，竟然在美国最具声望的学府里这样厚颜地散布异端？我来告诉你原因。
因为，我，埃里森，这个行星上第二富有的人，是个退学生，而你不是。
因为比尔盖茨，这个行星上最富有的人---就目前而言---是个退学生，而你不是。
因为艾伦，这个行星上第三富有的人，也退了学，而你没有。
再来一点证据吧，因为戴尔，这个行星上第九富有的人---他的排位还在不断上升，也是个退学生。
而你，不是。
……你们非常沮丧，这是可以理解的。
你们将来需要这些有用的工作习惯。
你将来需要这种"治疗"。
你需要它们，因为你没辍学，所以你永远不会成为世界上最富有的人。
哦，当然，你可以，也许，以你的方式进步到第10位，第11位，就像Steve。
但，我没有告诉你他在为谁工作，是吧？根据记载，他是研究生时辍的学，开化得稍晚了些。
现在，我猜想你们中间很多人，也许是绝大多数人，正在琢磨，"我能做什么？我究竟有没有前途？"当然没有。
太晚了，你们已经吸收了太多东西，以为自己懂得太多。
你们再也不是19岁了。
你们有了"内置"的帽子，哦，我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。
嗯……你们已经非常沮丧啦。
这是可以理解的。
所以，现在可能是讨论实质的时候啦---绝不是为了你们，2000年毕业生。
耶鲁大学著名演讲稿(3篇)
第1篇---大家好。
今天，我站在这里，很荣幸能和你们一起庆祝这个特别的日子。
我非常感谢耶鲁大学给我这个机会。
我的人生充满偶然。
我出生在一个非常偶然的时刻，一个在我父母年轻时选择离开印第安纳州，前往加利福尼亚州寻找新生活的时刻。
他们从未计划过要孩子，但我就是出现了。
我出生时，我的母亲在旧金山的一所天主教医院工作，而我的父亲则在俄勒冈州一家电子公司工作。
他们决定让我在硅谷长大，一个他们当时认为充满机遇的地方。
然而，我的父母很快就离婚了。
我的母亲独自抚养我，她是一个非常坚强的女性。
她当时在一家爱心之家工作，那里收养了许多孤儿。
我小时候，她每天晚上都要工作很晚，所以我通常都是自己回家。
我的家庭生活并不富裕，但我从来没有意识到这一点。
我的母亲总是尽其所能给我最好的。
她给我买了许多玩具，带我去公园，让我享受生活。
我知道，尽管生活并不容易，但她一直爱我，支持我。
然而，在我十二岁那年，我的母亲生病了。
她被诊断出患有卵巢癌。
她经历了多次手术，但最终病情恶化。
在我十三岁那年，她去世了。
这是我人生中第一次面对失去亲人的痛苦。
我感到非常孤独和无助。
我的母亲是我最亲密的人，她的离去让我感到空虚。
在母亲去世后的几个月里，我感到非常迷茫。
我不知道自己的人生要走向何方。
我开始怀疑自己的价值观，不知道自己真正想要的是什么。
这时，我遇到了我的朋友沃兹尼亚克。
他是一个天才级的工程师，我们很快就成为了好朋友。
我们一起做实验，一起解决问题，一起梦想着创造一些伟大的东西。
在高中毕业后，我决定去里德学院学习。
但我在那里只待了六个月，就退学了。
我意识到，我不能再浪费时间了。
我想要追求我的梦想，而我的梦想是创立一家自己的公司。
于是，我离开了里德学院，开始了一段充满挑战的旅程。
我和沃兹尼亚克一起创立了苹果公司。
我们经历了许多困难，但我们从未放弃。
我们相信，只要我们坚持下去，我们就能成功。
最终，我们成功了。
苹果公司成为了一家伟大的公司，改变了整个世界。
耶鲁大学演讲稿英文
Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed faculty, proud alumni, and most importantly, the incredible Class of [Year],Good evening. It is an honor and a privilege to stand before you today at this momentous occasion, as you embark on what will undoubtedly be one of the most transformative journeys of your lives. I am here to share with you a story, a story of exploration, of learning, and of embracing the unknown – a story that mirrors the essence of Yale University itself.As you sit here today, many of you may be feeling a mix of excitement, anxiety, and perhaps a touch of uncertainty. These emotions areperfectly natural, as you step into a new chapter filled with limitless possibilities. Yale University, with its storied history and vibrant community, has been a beacon of knowledge, innovation, and excellencefor over three centuries. It is a place where ideas are not just exchanged but challenged, where minds are not just educated but ignited, and where spirits are not just nurtured but empowered.Let us journey back to the founding of Yale College in 1701, when a group of scholars, led by the Reverend Ezra Stiles, sought to establish a place where "learning might be propagated, virtue maintained, and religion promoted." Over the years, Yale has grown from a small seminary to a world-renowned institution that boasts a diverse and inclusive community of scholars, artists, and leaders.As you enter this great institution, you are not just joining a community; you are becoming part of a legacy. A legacy that has produced Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, and leaders in every field imaginable. A legacy that has fostered a spirit of intellectualcuriosity and a commitment to social justice. A legacy that has taught us that knowledge is not just an end in itself but a tool for making the world a better place.But what does it mean to truly embrace the unknown? It means being open to new experiences, to stepping outside your comfort zone, and to facing challenges with courage and determination. It means being willing to askquestions, to seek answers, and to understand that the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong journey.At Yale, you will find yourself surrounded by an incredible array of resources and opportunities. You will have access to some of the world's most distinguished faculty, who are not just scholars but mentors and guides. You will have the chance to engage with students from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds, learning from their perspectives and enriching your own.But perhaps the most valuable resource you will find at Yale is the opportunity to explore. To explore not just the depths of your chosen field of study, but also the vastness of human knowledge and the breadth of human experience. You will have the chance to delve into the humanities, to understand the complexities of the natural sciences, to engage with the arts, and to explore the social sciences.As you embark on this journey, remember that learning is not confined to the classroom. It happens in the laboratory, in the library, in the studio, and in the conversation with a fellow student over coffee. It happens in the dorm rooms, in the dining halls, and in the quad. It happens when you step outside your comfort zone and into the unknown.One of the greatest lessons I have learned at Yale is that the unknown is not something to be feared, but something to be embraced. It is in the unknown that we find growth, that we find discovery, that we find ourselves. It is in the unknown that we are challenged to think critically, to question assumptions, and to push the boundaries of our understanding.Consider the story of Dr. Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-American biochemist who, along with Dr. Drew Weissman, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2020 for their pioneering work on mRNA technology. Their discovery was not the result of a single moment of inspiration but rather a series of bold experiments, each one pushing the boundaries of what was known. It was a journey into the unknown, one that required courage, perseverance, and a willingness to take risks.As you sit here today, you may be wondering what your own journey will look like. Will you pursue a career in science, or perhaps in the arts? Will you become an entrepreneur, or a public servant? The answer lies within you, and it is a journey that you will embark on with the support of this community.In closing, I want to leave you with a few words of advice. First, be curious. Always seek to learn, to understand, and to explore. Second, be open. Open to new ideas, to new experiences, and to the people you will meet along the way. Third, be resilient. Embrace challenges, learn from failures, and never give up.Yale University is not just a place where you will receive an education; it is a place where you will find yourself. A place where you will grow, where you will discover, and where you will make a difference in the world.Congratulations, Class of [Year]. Welcome to Yale. Welcome to the journey of a lifetime.Thank you.。

在这里，我不仅学到了知识，更拓宽了国际视野。
我曾参加过多次国际交流活动，与来自不同国家的同学们共同探讨学术问题、分享生活经验。
这些经历让我深刻认识到，在全球化的今天，我们需要具备跨文化沟通能力和国际视野，才能更好地适应时代的发展。
四、人生感悟在耶鲁大学的求学过程中，我收获了许多人生感悟。
首先，自信是成功的关键。
在耶鲁大学，我看到了许多优秀的同学，他们不仅在学术上取得了骄人的成绩，更在人生道路上取得了辉煌的成就。
这些成功人士的共同点就是自信。
自信让我们勇敢地面对挑战，不断突破自我。
布什总统在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的演讲
THE PRESIDENT: President Levin, thank you very much. Dean Brodhead, fellows of the Yale Corporation, fellow Yale parents, families, and graduates: It's a special privilege to receive this honorary degree. I was proud 33 years ago to receive my first Yale degree. I'm even prouder that in your eyes I've earned this one.I congratulate my fellow honorees. I'm pleased to share this honor with such a distinguished group. I'm particularly pleased to be here with my friend, the former of Mexico. Senor Presidente, usted es un verdadero lider, y un gran amigo. (Applause.)I congratulate all the parents who are here. It's a glorious day when your child graduates from college. It's a great day for you; it's a great day for your wallet. (Laughter.)Most important, congratulations to the class of 2001. (Applause.) To those of you who received honors, awards, and distinctions, I say, well done. And to the C students -- (applause) -- I say, you, too, can be President of the United States. (Laughter and applause.) A Yale degree is worth a lot, as I often remind Dick Cheney -- (laughter) -- who studied here, but left a little early. So now we know -- if you graduate from Yale, you become President. If you drop out, you get to be Vice President. (Laughter.)I appreciate so very much the chance to say a few words on this occasion. I know Yale has a tradition of having no commencement speaker. I also know that you've carved out a single exception. Most people think that to speak at Yale's commencement, you have to be President. But over the years, the specifications have become far more demanding. Now you have to be a Yale graduate, you have to be President, and you have had to have lost the Yale vote to Ralph Nader. (Applause.)This is my first time back here in quite a while. I'm sure that each of you will make your own journey back at least a few times in your life. If you're like me, you won't remember everything you did here. (Laughter.) That can be a good thing. (Laughter.) But there will be some people, and some moments, you will never forget.Take, for example, my old classmate, Dick Brodhead, the accomplished dean of this great university. (Applause.) I remember him as a young scholar, a bright lad -- (laughter) -- a hard worker. We both put a lot of time in at the Sterling Library, in the reading room, where they have those big leather couches. (Laughter.) We had a mutual understanding -- Dick wouldn't read aloud, and I wouldn't snore. (Laughter.) Our course selections were different, as we followed our own path to academic discovery. Dick was an English major, and loved the classics. I loved history, and pursued a diversified course of study. I like to think of it as the academic road less traveled. (Laughter.)For example, I took a class that studied Japanese Haiku. Haiku, for the uninitiated, is a 15th century form of poetry, each poem having 17 syllables. Haiku is fully understood only by the Zen masters. As I recall, one of my academic advisers was worried about my selection of such a specialized course. He said I should focus on English. (Laughter.) I still hear that quite often. (Laughter.) But my critics don't realize I don't make verbal gaffes. I'm speaking in the perfect forms and rhythms of ancient Haiku. (Applause.)I did take English here, and I took a class called "The History and Practice of American Oratory," taught by Rollin G. Osterweis. (Applause.) And, President Levin,I want to give credit where credit is due. I want the entire world to know this -- everything I know about the spoken word, I learned right here at Yale. (Laughter.)As a student, I tried to keep a low profile. It worked. Last year the New York Times interviewed John Morton Blum because the record showed I had taken one of his courses. Casting his mind's eye over the parade of young faces down through the years, Professor Blum said, and I quote, "I don't have the foggiest recollection of him." (Laughter.)But I remember Professor Blum. And I still recall his dedication and high standards of learning. In my time there were many great professors at Yale. And there still are. They're the ones who keep Yale going after the commencements, after we have all gone our separate ways. I'm not sure I remembered to thank them the last time I was here, but now that I have a second chance, I thank the professors of Yale University. (Applause.)That's how I've come to feel about the Yale experience -- grateful. I studied hard, I played hard, and I made a lot of lifelong friends. What stays with you from college is the part of your education you hardly ever notice at the time. It's the expectations and examples around you, the ideals you believe in, and the friends you make.In my time, they spoke of the "Yale man." I was really never sure what that was. But I do think that I'm a better man because of Yale. All universities, at their best, teach that degrees and honors are far from the full measure of life. Nor is that measure taken in wealth or in titles. What matters most are the standards you live by, the consideration you show others, and the way you use the gifts you are given.Now you leave Yale behind, carrying the written proof of your success here, at a college older than America. When I left here, I didn't have much in the way of a life plan. I knew some people who thought they did. But it turned out that we were all in for ups and downs, most of them unexpected. Life takes its own turns, makes its own demands, writes its own story. And along the way, we start to realize we are not the author.We begin to understand that life is ours to live, but not to waste, and that the greatest rewards are found in the commitments we make with our whole hearts -- to the people we love and to the causes that earn our sacrifice. I hope that each of you will know these rewards. I hope you will find them in your own way and your own time.For some, that might mean some time in public service. And if you hear that calling, I hope you answer. Each of you has unique gifts and you were given them for a reason. Use them and share them. Public service is one way -- an honorable way -- to mark your life with meaning.Today I visit not only my alma mater, but the city of my birth. My life began just a few blocks from here, but I was raised in West Texas. From there, Yale always seemed a world away, maybe a part of my future. Now it's part of my past, and Yale for me is a source of great pride.I hope that there will come a time for you to return to Yale to say that, and feel as I do today. And I hope you won't wait as long. Congratulations and God bless. (Applause.)。

耶鲁大学毕业典礼中英文演讲稿耶鲁大学毕业典礼中英文演讲稿graduates of yale university, i apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but i want you to do something for me. please, take a ood look around you. look at the classmate on your left. look at the classmate on your right. now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. the person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. and you, in the middle? what can you expect? loser. loserhood. loser cum laude.“in fact, as i look out before me today, i don’t see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. i don’t see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries.i see a thousand losers.“you’re upset. that’s understandable. after all, how can i, lawrence ‘larry’ ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation’s most prestigious institutions? i’ll tell you why. because i, lawrence “larry” ellis on, second richest man onthe planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.“because bill gates, richest man on the planet for now, anyway is a college dropout, and you are not. “because paul allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.“and for good measure, because michael dell, no.9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.“hmm . . . you’re very upset. that’s understandable. so let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. most of you, i imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you’ve learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. you’ve estab lished good work habits. you’ve established a network of people that will help you down the road. and you’ve established what will be lifelong relationships with the word ‘therapy.’ all that of is good. for in truth, you will need that network. you will need those strong work habits. you will need that therapy.“you will need them because you didn’t drop out,and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to no. 10 or no. 11, like steve ballmer. but then, i don’t have to tell you who he really works for, do i? and for the record, he dropped out of grad school. bit of a late bloomer.“finally, i realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, ‘is there anything i can do? is there any hope for me at all?’ actually, no. it’s too late. you’ve absorbed too much, think you know too much. you’re not 19 anymore. you have a builtin cap, and i’m not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.“hmm... you’re really very upset. that’s understandable. so perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. not for you, class of ‘00. you are a writeoff, so i’ll let you slink off to your pathetic 200,000ayear jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.“instead, i want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. i say to you, and i can’t stress this enough:leave. pack your things and your ideas and don’t come back. drop out. start up.“for i can tell y ou that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . .” (at this point the oracle ceo was ushered off stage.)【中文译文】：耶鲁的毕业生们，我很抱歉——如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。
我想请你们为我做一件事。
请你好好看一看周围，看一看站在你左边的同学，看一看站在你右边的同学。
请你设想这样的情况：从现在起5年之后，XX年之后，或30年之后，今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者;右边的这个人，同样，也是个失败者。
而你，站在中间的家伙，你以为会怎样?一样是失败者。
失败的经历。
失败的优等生。
说实话，今天我站在这里，并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂未来。
我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者，我只看到了一千个失败者。
你们感到沮丧，这是可以理解的。
为什么，我，埃里森，一个退学生，竟然在美国最具声望的学府里这样厚颜地散布异端?我来告诉你原因。
因为，我，埃里森，这个行星上第二富有的人，是个退学生，而你不是。
因为比尔盖茨，这个行星上最富有的人——就目前而言是个退学生，而你不是。
因为艾伦，这个行星上第三富有的人，也退了学，而你没有。
再来一点证据吧，因为戴尔，这个行星上第九富有的人——他的排位还在不断上升，也是个退学生。
而你，不是。
你们非常沮丧，这是可以理解的。
你们将来需要这些有用的工作习惯。
你将来需要这种’治疗’。
你需要它们，因为你没辍学，所以你永远不会成为世界上最富有的人。
哦，当然，你可以，也许，以你的方式进步到第10位，第11位，就像steve。
但，我没有告诉你他在为谁工作，是吧?根据记载，他是研究生时辍的学，开化得稍晚了些。
现在，我猜想你们中间很多人，也许是绝大多数人，正在琢磨，’我能做什么? 我究竟有没有前途?’当然没有。
太晚了，你们已经吸收了太多东西，以为自己懂得太多。
你们再也不是19岁了。
你们有了’内置’的帽子，哦，我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。
嗯......你们已经非常沮丧啦。
这是可以理解的。
所以，现在可能是讨论实质的时候啦——绝不是为了你们，XX年毕业生。
你们已经被报销，不予考虑了。
我想，你们就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20万的可怜工作吧，在那里，工资单是由你两年前辍学的同班同学签字开出来的。
事实上，我是寄希望于眼下还没有毕业的同学。
我要对他们说，离开这里。
收拾好你的东西，带着你的点子，别再回来。
退学吧，开始行动。
我要告诉你，一顶帽子一套学位服必然要让你沦落，就像这些保安马上要把我从这个讲台上撵走一样必然。
(此时，larry被带离了讲台)。
