I feel so proud to share this day with my fellow honorees Susan Hockfield and Felix Matos Rodriguez, who humble me with the ways they improve our world with their work.
 

As for me, I’m…90% sure the main reason I’m here is because I have a song called‘22.’ And let me just say, I am elated to be here with you today as we celebrate and graduate New York University’s Class of 2022.
 

能與獲獎者 SusanHockfield 及 Felix Matos Rodriguez 分享這一天,我感到非常自豪,他們透過自己的工作改善了我們的世界,這讓我更感覺到謙卑。至於我,我有 90% 確定我在這裡的原因,是因為我有一首歌叫〈22〉。我想說的是,我很高興今天能和 2022 屆的畢業生一起慶祝。


1. sb. humble me with the ways sb. do sth. 
表示對某人的尊重,並且把對方的成就表達出來

My father humbles me with the way he treated the elder generations.
 

2. be elated to do 很高興做某事。代替”I am so glad to stand here and…”

Children would be elated to earn more pocket money through helping with house chores.

I hope you’ll find your own way to express your gratitude for all the steps and missteps that have led us to this common destination.

To all the incredible parents, family members, mentors, teachers, allies, friends and loved ones here today who have supported these students in their pursuit of educational enrichment.

對於今天在這裡支持學生追求教育豐富性的所有了不起的父母、家人、導師、老師、盟友、朋友和親人。
 

4. in their pursuit of educational enrichment 在追求學術進步中

這個表達在教育類話題作文中會很實用,可以替換 improve their score 之類的普通表達。

Not the type of doctor you would want around in the case of an emergency, unless your specific emergency was that you desperately needed to hear a song with a catchy hook and an intensely cathartic bridge section.

當然不是你們在緊急情況下想要的那種“醫生”,除非你們的具體緊急情況是迫切需要聽到一首非常朗朗上口的歌,和強烈宣洩的橋段。
 

5. desperately need to do sth 迫切需要做某事

The graduates desperately need to hunt a job to support their families.

Then I went out on the road on a radio tour, which sounds incredibly glamorous but in reality it consisted of a rental car, motels, and my mom.

之後,我進行了電臺巡迴演出,聽起來很迷人,但實際上它僅由一輛計程車、汽車旅館、我和我的媽媽組成。
 

6. incredibly glamorous 超級迷人。非常適合旅遊類話題寫作

Visitors tend to be appealed to such landscapes, which look incredibly glamorous.

But I really can’t complain about not having a normal college experience to you because you went to NYU during a global pandemic, being essentially locked into your dorms or having to do classes over Zoom.

但我真的不能向你們抱怨自己沒有正常的大學經歷,因為你們在疫情期間去了紐約大學,基本上被隔離在宿舍裡或不得不通過Zoom上課。
 

7. being essentially locked into your dorms or having to do classes over Zoom在主要句子後面加分詞結構,非常亮眼的表達方式

Tourism has become an essential financial income in many Southeast Asian nations, playing a major role in supporting city economy.

————————–


Everyone in college during normal times stresses about test scores, but on top of that you also had to pass like a thousand COVID tests.

平時大學裡的每個人都對考試成績感到壓力,但這段特殊時期,你們還必須通過無數次的新冠檢測。
 

8. stresses about 對…感到焦慮、緊張

9. on top of that 除此之外

On top of that, numbers of youngsters stress about their lacking of interpersonal skills.

————————–


Please bear in mind that I, in no way, feel qualified to tell you what to do. You’ve worked and struggled and sacrificed and studied and dreamed your way here today and so, you know what you’re doing.

請記住,我絕對沒有資格告訴你們該做什麼。你們在這裡工作、奮鬥、犧牲、學習和夢想,所以你們知道自己在做什麼。
 

10. in no way絕不

= never

= in no case

= in no circumstances

= in no wise

= by no means


作文中必須避免重複使用同樣的字,表達“絕不”除了never這個字之外,還有這麼多片語可以替代使用。

Parents should in no way interfere with the process in which their children make friends.

I will, however, give you some life hacks I wish I knew when I was starting out my dreams of a career, and navigating life, love, pressure, choices, shame, hope and friendship.

但我將會提供一些希望在開始職業生涯時就能知道的生活小竅門,幫助你們駕馭生活、愛情、壓力、選擇、羞恥、希望和友誼。
 

11. life hacks 生活小訣竅 / 生活原則 = tips on life

Grandparents could always give their grandchildren effective life hacks which would not fade with time passing.
