Thank you, President Hennessy, and to the trustees and the faculty, to all of the parents and grandparents, to you, the Stanford graduates. Thank you for letting me share this amazing day with you.
感谢汉尼斯校长、董事会的各位董事、全体教职员工、各位家长,以及斯坦福的毕业生们,非常感谢你们。感谢你们让我与你们共度这美好的一天。
I need to begin by letting everyone in on a little secret. The secret is that Kirby Bumpus, Stanford Class of 08, is my goddaughter. So, I was thrilled when President Hennessy asked me to be your commencement speaker, because this is the first time I've been allowed on campus since Kirby's been here.
我决定透露一个小秘密给大家,以此作为这次演讲的开始。这个秘密就是卡比·鹏博思,斯坦福2008届的毕业生,是我的教女。所以当汉尼斯校长邀请我来做毕业演讲时,我非常兴奋,因为自从卡比来这儿上学以来,这是我第一次被允许到斯坦福来。
