Madam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today’s graduates.
尊敬的福斯特校長、哈佛集團的各位成員、監(jiān)管理事會的各位理事、全體教職工、各位家長、各位朋友,以及最重要的各位畢業(yè)生們:

Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you.
感謝你們,讓我有機會同你們一起分享這個美妙的日子。

I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not a billionaire, but at least I am a nerd.
我不太肯定自己是否夠得上的哈佛大學畢業(yè)典禮演講人這樣的殊榮。去年在這個講臺上演講的是英國億萬身家的小說家J.K.羅琳女士,她起初是一個學古典文學的學生。前年站在這里的是比爾·蓋茨先生,他是超級富翁、慈善家和電腦癡。今年很遺憾,是我給你們發(fā)表畢業(yè)演講,雖然我不是億萬富翁,但至少我是一個書呆子。

I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to me than you might care to imagine. As you may have heard this morning, I was the academic failure of my family. Both My brother have degrees from Harvard. My older brother, Gilbert,after getting a Ph.D. in physics from that other school down the river, got an M.D. Harvard. My younger brother, Morgan Chu, who you just heard his name today at the board overseers, has a law degree. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would be pleased. Not so. I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, “That’s nice, but when are you going to visit me next.” Now, as the last brother with a degree from Harvard, maybe, at last, she will be pleased.
我很感激哈弗大學授予我榮譽學位,這對我很重要,也許比你們想象的更重要。你們今天早上可能聽說了,從學術上來說,我在我家很差勁。我的兄弟們都獲得了哈弗學位。我哥哥吉爾伯特在河下游的那所大學獲得了物理學博士學位之后,又在哈弗大學獲得醫(yī)學博士學位;我弟弟摩根,你們在校監(jiān)管理事會已經(jīng)聽到了了他的名字,拿到了哈弗大學法律學位。我本人得到諾貝爾獎的時候,我想母親會很高興。但是,我錯了。消息公布的那天早上,我打電話給她,她只說:“這是個好消息,不過我想知道,你下次什么時候來看我?”如今在我們兄弟當中,我最終也拿到了哈弗大學的學位,我想這一次,她會感到滿意。
