Now the commencement speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good wishes to you.
I will not do that, and I’ll tell you why.
From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice.
在未来的岁月里,我希望你偶尔会受到不公正对待,这样你就能认识到正义的价值。
I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty.
我希望你会经历背叛,因为那将教会你忠诚的重要性。
Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don't take friends for granted.
很抱歉,但我希望你偶尔会感到孤独,这样你就不会把朋友视为理所当然。
I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
我希望你偶尔会遇到坏运气,这样你就能意识到机遇在生活中的作用,并明白你的成功并非完全应得,他人的失败也并非完全应得。
And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship.
当你失败时,也会有时候对手为你的失败而洋洋得意。这是让你了解体育精神的一种方式。
I hope you’ll be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion.
我希望你会被忽视,这样你就知道倾听他人的重要性,我希望你能有足够的痛苦来学会同情。
Whether I wish these things or not, they're going to happen. And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes.
无论我是否祝福这些事情,它们都会发生。而你是否从中受益将取决于你发现不幸中的信息的能力。
