And President Nugent, thank you very much for giving me such a warm welcome today.

有些学生建议我称她为The Nooge校长不过我觉得这不够尊重 特别是她现在还健在So i'll avoid that but don't worry, Madame President.

The New York tabloids 3 call me Bloomy And that's when they're being nice. So I got used to this.
纽约小报也把我叫作Bloomy他们这样叫时都很亲切 我也就习惯了This is my first day at Kenyon and I'm told that when you first get here.
这是我第一次来肯尼恩有人跟我说 第一次到这里时You're supposed to stand up and sing the college song in front of everyone and they boo you.
应该站起来 在所有人面前唱校歌然后他们嘘你That would just make me feel like I was back in New York City Well, I'm happy to do that.
这会让我感觉像是回到了纽约市当然 我很乐意这样做I've been practicing, I know the words -- but today isn't about me.
我练习了很久 我知道歌词但今天的主角不是我It's about you, the graduates Unfortunately, you won't get a chance to hear me do it.
而是你们毕业生很不幸 你们没机会听我唱校歌了Today, my job is to salute 4 you, graduates -- but not merely for your academic achievements.
我今天的工作是向你们这些毕业生致敬不过不仅仅是因为你们的学术成就Even though they have been many As Rutherford B. Hayes, Class of 1842, said.

成功的荣耀会随跨越的阻碍而增加据我所知 你们非常了不起About overcoming every obstacle on the way to your diploma I asked some students what were they and they said:.
你们克服了重重阻碍 最终获得文凭我问过一些学生 他们说Well, you overcame swine flu freshman 7 year You overcame middle path in mud and snow and ice.
