President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of

the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty,

parents, and especially, the graduates:

尊敬的Bok校长，Rudenstine前校长，即将上任的Faust校长，哈佛集团的各位成员，监管理事会的各位理事，各位老师，各位家长，各位同学：

I've been waiting more than 30 years to say this: "Dad, I always told you I'd

come back and get my degree."

有一句话我等了三十年，现在终于可以说了：“老爸，我总是跟你说，我会回来拿到我的学位的!”

I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I'll be changing my job next

year…and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.

我要感谢哈佛大学在这个时候给我这个荣誉。明年，我就要换工作了(注：指从微软公司退休)……我终于可以在简历上写我有一个本科学位，这真是不错啊。

I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your

degrees. For my part, I'm just happy that the Crimson has called me "Harvard's

most successful dropout." I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special

class…I did the best of everyone who failed.

我为今天在座的各位同学感到高兴，你们拿到学位可比我简单多了。哈佛的校报称我是“哈佛大学历史上最成功的辍学生”。我想这大概使我有资格代表我这一类学生发言……在所有的失败者里，我做得最好。

But I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop out of

business school. I'm a bad influence. That's why I was invited to speak at your

graduation. If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here

today.

但是，我还要提醒大家，我使得Steve

Ballmer(注：微软总经理)也从哈佛商学院退学了。因此，我是个有着恶劣影响力的人。这就是为什么我被邀请来在你们的毕业典礼上演讲。如果我在你们入学欢迎仪式上演讲，那么能够坚持到今天在这里毕业的人也许会少得多吧。

Harvard was just a phenomenal experience for me. Academic life was fascinating.

I used to sit in on lots of classes I hadn't even signed up for. And dorm life

was terrific. I lived up at Radcliffe, in Currier House. There were always lots

of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew

I didn't worry about getting up in the morning. That's how I came to be the

leader of the anti-social group. We clung to each other as a way of validating

our rejection of all those social people.

对我来说，哈佛的求学经历是一段非凡的经历。校园生活很有趣，我常去旁听我没选修的课。哈佛的课外生活也很棒，我在Radcliffe过着逍遥自在的日子。每天我的寝室里总有很多人一直待到半夜，讨论着各种事情。因为每个人都知道我从不考虑第二天早起。这使得我变成了校园里那些不安分学生的头头，我们互相粘在一起，做出一种拒绝所有正常学生的姿态。

Radcliffe was a great place to live. There were more women up there, and most of

the guys were science-math types. That combination offered me the best odds, if

you know what I mean. This is Where I learned the sad lesson that improving your

odds doesn't guarantee success.

Radcliffe是个过日子的好地方。那里的女生比男生多，而且大多数男生都是理工科的。这种状况为我创造了最好的机会，如果你们明白我的意思。可惜的是，我正是在这里学到了人生中悲伤的一课：机会大，并不等于你就会成功。
