　　我的演講要接近尾聲了。
　　So today, I can wish you nothing better than similar friendships. And tomorrow, I hope that even if you remember not a single word of mine, you remember those of Seneca, another of those old Romans I met when I fled down the Classics corridor, in retreat from career ladders, in search of ancient wisdom:
　　所以今天我可以給你們的，沒有比擁有知己更好的祝福了。
　　Thank you very much.
　　非常感謝大家。我當(dāng)年沒有順著事業(yè)的階梯向上攀爬，轉(zhuǎn)而與他在古典文學(xué)的殿堂相遇，他的古老智慧給了我人生的啟迪：
　　As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.
　　生活就像故事一樣：不在乎長短，而在于質(zhì)量，這才是最重要的。畢業(yè)那天坐在我身邊的朋友現(xiàn)在是我終身的摯交，他們是我孩子的教父母，是在我遇到麻煩時(shí)愿意伸出援手，在我用他們的名字給哈利波特中的 “食死徒”起名而不會起訴我的朋友。ve been able to turn in times of real trouble, people who have been kind enough not to sue me when Iamp。
　　I am nearly finished. I have one last hope for you, which is something that I already had at 21. The friends with whom I sat on graduation day have been my friends for life. They are my childrenamp。 if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped to change. We do not need magic to transform the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.

　　Every day, I saw more evidence about the evils humankind will inflict on their fellow humans, to gain or maintain power. I began to have nightmares, literal nightmares, about some of the things I saw, heard and read.

　　其中一個(gè)影響最大的經(jīng)歷發(fā)生在我寫哈利波特之前，為我隨后寫書提供了很多想法。雖然我愿誓死捍衛(wèi)睡前要給孩子講故事的價(jià)值觀，我對想象力的理解已經(jīng)有了更廣泛的含義。39。
　　The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.
　　從挫折中獲得智慧、變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，意味著你比以往任何時(shí)候都更有能力生存。 I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above the price of rubies.
　　失敗使我的內(nèi)心產(chǎn)生一種安全感，這是我從考試中沒有得到過的。
　　You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.

I had no idea how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.
　　現(xiàn)在，我不打算站在這里告訴你們，失敗是有趣的。所以我想很公平的講，從任何傳統(tǒng)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)看，在我畢業(yè)僅僅七年后的日子里，我的失敗達(dá)到了史詩般空前的規(guī)模
