原文及翻译

Hi, I'm Taylor. Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard. This outfit is much more comfortable. I would like to say a huge thank you to NYU's Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Bill Berkeley, and all the trustees and members of the board, NYU's President Andrew Hamilton, Provost Katharine Fleming, and the faculty and alumni here today, who have made this day possible. 

大家好，我是泰勒。上次我在这么大的体育场跳舞时，穿着高跟鞋和闪闪发光的紧身衣。这套衣服舒服多了。我要衷心感谢纽约大学董事会主席比尔·伯克利、所有董事会成员、纽约大学校长安德鲁·汉密尔顿、教务长凯瑟琳·弗莱明以及今天在座的教职员工和校友，是他们让这一天成为可能。

I feel so proud to share this day with my fellow honorees, Susan Hawkfield and Felix Matos Rodriguez, who humble me with the ways they improve our world with their work. As for me, I'm 90 percent 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. Not a single one of us here today has done it alone. 

我很自豪能与我的同届获奖者苏珊·霍克菲尔德和费利克斯·马托斯·罗德里格斯一起度过这一天，他们用自己的工作改善了我们的世界。至于我，我百分之九十地确定我来到这里的主要原因是因为我有一首歌叫《22》。让我说一句，我很高兴今天能和你们一起庆祝纽约大学2022届毕业典礼。今天在座的我们中没有一个人是独自完成这一切的。

We are each a patchwork quilt of those who have loved us, those who have believed in our futures, those who showed us empathy and kindness, or told us the truth even when it wasn't easy to hear, those who told us we could do it when there was absolutely no proof of that. Someone read stories to you and taught you to dream and offered up some moral code of right and wrong for you to try and live by. 

我们每个人都是一块拼凑起来的被子，上面布满了那些爱我们的人、那些相信我们的未来的人、那些向我们展示同情和善良的人、那些告诉我们真相的人，即使真相很难听，那些告诉我们我们可以做到的人，即使根本没有证据证明这一点。有人给你读故事，教你梦想，给你提供一些是非对错的道德准则，让你去尝试和生活。

Someone tried their best to explain every concept in this insanely complex world to the child that was you, as you asked a bazillion questions like, "How does the moon work?" and "Why can we eat salad but not grass?" And maybe they didn't do it perfectly, no one ever can. Maybe they aren't with us anymore, in that case, I hope you'll remember them today. If they are in this stadium, 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.

有人竭尽全力向你这个孩子解释这个极其复杂的世界中的每一个概念，而你问了无数个问题，比如“月亮是如何运转的？”和“为什么我们可以吃沙拉而不能吃草？”也许他们做得并不完美，没有人能做到。也许他们已经不在我们身边了，在这种情况下，我希望你今天能记住他们。如果他们在这个体育场，我希望你能找到自己的方式来表达对引领我们走向这个共同目的地的所有步骤和失误的感激之情。
