【正文】 較上一代和這一代的差異，也不提你們這一代像史奴比狗狗（饒舌歌手）那種說話方式和腔調(diào)（笑聲）（掌聲），或不管是像五角（饒舌歌手）（笑聲）。以客觀角度來看，這個世界確實變得更好，但同時也變得更糟。前進(jìn)一步，又倒退一步，彷佛宇宙在科技進(jìn)步和文化倒退間達(dá)成平衡，使人類的進(jìn)展呈鐘形曲線。其中一小部分顯示了進(jìn)步帶來的喜悅和安逸，但也顯示了相同比例的困境。對于起伏不定的經(jīng)濟(jì)和種種混亂局勢的不樂觀，使我們逐漸忽略生活質(zhì)量的變化。畢業(yè)典禮是一個談?wù)撊蛩Y源危機(jī)的適當(dāng)場合，我認(rèn)為汞污染的情況顯示－水資源危機(jī)一如往常。十年前，當(dāng)我們汲汲營營地為生活打拼時，發(fā)生了九一一事件；一九九一年，當(dāng)各種新興行業(yè)創(chuàng)造出巨大財富時，美國陷入經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)；一九八一年，當(dāng)我準(zhǔn)備在電視界大展身手時（笑聲），一九八二年，《bosom buddies》（湯姆．漢克斯首次展露頭角的電視喜劇）慘遭停播（笑聲）。一九七一年，當(dāng)彩色電視逐漸普及時，播出的總是美國青年在越戰(zhàn)中出生入死的消息；一九六一年，當(dāng)衛(wèi)星首次將實時影像傳送到世界各地時，播出的卻是柏林圍墻開始建造的影像。這十年當(dāng)中，世事呈現(xiàn)相同的yinyang thang（陰陽相生）；我打算為這個說法申請版權(quán)（笑聲）。陰陽相生，湯姆．漢克斯版權(quán)所有（笑聲）。在2011年畢業(yè)典禮上也顯示了相同的陰陽相生，謝謝。我們擁有各種科技設(shè)備，能永久記錄地球另一端的種種變革，但同時也記錄了我國各種充滿仇恨的族群。三餐不繼的美國人愈來愈少，但你們是否知道，肥胖問題對本國一半的人口造成多大影響？無論我們在本地商場中能找到多少特價品，許多人仍被房租和日常生活開銷壓得喘不過氣來。上世紀(jì)大半期間，美國已不再發(fā)動實質(zhì)、或甚至意識形態(tài)戰(zhàn)爭，但邁入千禧年后十一年半的今天，我國軍隊仍在其中九個戰(zhàn)場參戰(zhàn)。無論是購買智慧產(chǎn)權(quán)物品或我們喜愛的藝術(shù)作品，只要點(diǎn)一下鼠標(biāo)，花點(diǎn)錢就能獲得。這意味著你們或許會發(fā)現(xiàn)，并不一定能靠自己選擇的專業(yè)謀生。這個時代也有其獨(dú)特的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，這是無法否認(rèn)的，例如“無聊”似乎已被擊潰（笑聲）。人們總是有事可忙，但這不代表總是心不在焉地度日無傷大雅。不論在廁所中、餐桌上、汽車后座、婚禮上，割禮上（笑聲）、畢業(yè)典禮上，總是有人檢視訊息、在twitter貼文、上網(wǎng)、下載、玩游戲、分享、購物、聽語音留言，手中這些每個月僅需付少許服務(wù)費(fèi)的裝置占據(jù)了我們的注意力。同樣的科技也造成名人泛濫現(xiàn)象；這不是什么值得高興的事（笑聲）。任何人－雖然我不得不承認(rèn)，sam tsui確實紅得要命（笑聲）（歡呼聲）－現(xiàn)在，任何人都能享受眾所矚目的滋味，而成名期間，從安迪．沃荷所說的短短十五分鐘延長到十五個月，只要你愿意在鏡頭前做某些事。雖然我們演藝人員的消息通常由電視上說著正式新聞用語、看起來像“獨(dú)裁者”的恐怖家伙發(fā)布，但這不會造成廣大影響；除非我住在北韓，或在比佛利山闖紅燈（笑聲），或上網(wǎng)購物被發(fā)現(xiàn)，或在不合宜的時間、地點(diǎn)做些蠢事，剛好被某人的手機(jī)拍下。在座每個人都有機(jī)會這么做。忍耐一下我?？瞥潭鹊睦∥模浾撛诰W(wǎng)絡(luò)上一覽無遺，即使你將它刪除，搜尋引擎依然能使你做過的蠢事無所遁形。所以，確實有個獨(dú)裁者，但他不是小說中的虛構(gòu)人物；事實上，他代表使用搜尋引擎的每一個人。所以，無論我怎么計算，結(jié)果總是不分勝負(fù)。正面和負(fù)面的發(fā)展達(dá)成平衡；x 和 y相等（笑聲）；希望和恐懼比例相當(dāng)。但后者的發(fā)展令我憂心，因為恐懼－天哪！恐懼已成為2011年一股強(qiáng)大的勢力?？磁_上圍繞著各位畢業(yè)生的我們，對每一屆畢業(yè)生都有相同的期待，希望你們能盡一己之力，使我們免于恐懼。我們面臨許多恐懼，恐懼成了輕易就能售出的商品，就像性一樣?？謶至畠r、容易取得；恐懼引人注目、如八卦般傳播迅速，也如八卦般聳動、吸引人、有利可圖?？謶帜芘で聦?，令人變得無知?？謶轴莘饑鴥?nèi)混亂的經(jīng)濟(jì)，逐漸波及到所有家庭。不久前某天，我坐在家里觀賞電視球賽轉(zhuǎn)播，看見一則夜間新聞預(yù)告：“學(xué)校毒害我們的孩子？本專題和夏日最火辣比基尼特輯將于今晚十一點(diǎn)播出。”（笑聲）當(dāng)時我家剛好有學(xué)齡孩童，我擔(dān)心他們可能會在學(xué)校里遭到毒害，而夏天還要好幾周才會來臨，所以－（笑聲）我轉(zhuǎn)到新聞臺，看看是怎么回事。這則新聞的實際內(nèi)容是，某家廠商供應(yīng)的漢堡被驗出某種細(xì)菌含量偏高，為了安全起見，這批漢堡將全面停售。這批漢堡原本預(yù)定出售給它州學(xué)校餐廳，所幸及時回收。所以，這則新聞所質(zhì)疑的問題，答案是－不（笑聲），學(xué)校并沒有毒害學(xué)生（笑聲）。但沒錯，那年夏天海邊確實出現(xiàn)一些超辣的比基尼（笑聲）。美國前海軍指揮官john paul jones曾說，“恐懼經(jīng)過培養(yǎng)將會變得更強(qiáng)大；信念經(jīng)過培養(yǎng)將會更堅定不移。”這就是歷史吸引我的原因。因為觀察200多年前nathan hale在美國獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭中的事跡－他曾經(jīng)住過那棟大樓（歡呼聲）（掌聲）－逐一對照2011年的美國；在我看來，恐懼本身就是一個令人恐懼的存在，恐懼本身充滿威脅、陰魂不散。而我認(rèn)為，信念深植于我們心中，蘊(yùn)含在我們獨(dú)立自主的美國理想中?？謶譄o時無刻地在我們耳邊竊竊私語、在我們眼前高聲吶喊；而信念必須由你們每天在鏡中看到的自己培養(yǎng)。前者總是緊追在我們身后、糾纏不休、令我們停滯不前；后者則激勵我們、帶給我們驚喜、刺激我們的創(chuàng)造力、驅(qū)使我們不斷地前進(jìn)。第四篇：布什總統(tǒng)在耶魯大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的演講THE PRESIDENT: President Levin, thank you very Brodhead, fellows of the Yale Corporation, fellow Yale parents, families, and graduates: It39。s a special privilege to receive this honorary was proud 33

but left a little now we knowif you graduate from Yale, you bee you drop out, you get to be Vice President.(Laughter.)I appreciate so very much the chance to say a few words on this know Yale has a tradition of having no mencement alsoknow that you39。ve carved out a single people think that to speak at Yale39。s mencement, you have to be over the years, the specifications have bee far more 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 39。m sure that each of you will make your own journey back at least a few times in your you39。re like me, you won39。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 , for example, my old classmate, Dick Brodhead, the acplished dean of this great university.(Applause.)I remember him as a young scholar, a bright lad(laughter)a hard 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 understandingDick wouldn39。t read aloud, and I wouldn39。t snore.(Laughter.)Our course selections were different, as we followed our own path to academic was an English major, and loved the loved history, and pursued a diversified course of like to think of it as the academic road less traveled.(Laughter.)For example, I took a class that studied Japanese , for the uninitiated, is a 15th century form of poetry, each poem having 17 is fully understood only by the Zen I recall, one of my academic advisers was worried about my selection of such a specialized said I should focus on English.(Laughter.)I still hear that quite often.(Laughter.)But my critics don39。t realize I don39。t make verbal 39。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 .(Applause.)And, President Levin, I want to give credit where credit is want the entire world to know thiseverything I know about the spoken word, I learned right here at Yale.(Laughter.)As a student, I tried to keep a low year the New York Times interviewed John Morton Blum because the record showed I had taken one of his his mind39。s eye over the parade of young faces down through the years, Professor Blum said, and I quote, “I don39。t have the foggiest recollection of him.”(Laughter.)But I remember Professor I still recall his dedication and high standards of my time there were many great professors at there still 39。re the ones who keep Yale going after the mencements, after we have all gone our separate 39。m not sure I remembered to
