七月，正值畢業(yè)季，各種畢業(yè)典禮接踵而至，前輩們的畢業(yè)致辭和祝福也紛至沓來.接下來讓我們一起來看看羅伯茨在兒子杰克的畢業(yè)典禮上說了怎樣的致辭？

Roberts addressed his son’s ninth grade graduating class at the Cardigan Mountain School, an elite boys’ boarding school in New Hampshire.

羅伯茨來到新罕布爾州的卡迪根山中學參加兒子九年級的畢業(yè)典禮，并發(fā)表演講。

He advised the young graduates to take life’s setbacks in stride. But he did not wish them good luck.

他建議年輕的畢業(yè)生要克服生活中的坎坷，但他并沒有祝大家好運。

"Now, the commencement speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good wishes to you. I will not do that, and I will tell you why," Roberts said.

“畢業(yè)典禮的致辭者通常會祝你們好運并送上祝福，我不打算那么做，原因如下?！绷_伯茨說道。

"From time to time, in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice. I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty. Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time, so that you don’t take friends for granted. I wish you bad luck again, from time to time, so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and the failure of others is not completely deserved either."

“我希望你們在未來的歲月中，不時遭受不公待遇，這樣才會理解公正的價值所在。愿你們嘗到背叛滋味，這會教你們領悟忠誠之重要。抱歉，我還希望你們時常會有孤獨感，這樣才不會將良師摯友視為理所當然。愿你們偶爾運氣不佳，這樣才會意識到機遇在人生中的地位，進而理解你們的成功并非命中注定，別人的失敗也不是天經(jīng)地義?！?/div>

He continued, "And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship."

他繼續(xù)說道：“當你們偶爾遭遇失敗時，愿你們受到對手幸災樂禍的嘲弄，這樣才會讓你們理解體育精神的重要性?！?/div>

"I hope you will be ignored, so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion," he said.

“愿你們偶爾被忽視，這樣才能學會傾聽；感受到切膚之痛，才能對別人有同情的理解?！?/div>

Roberts then warned, "Whether I wish these things or not, they’re going to happen. And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes."

羅伯茨還警告說：“無論我怎么想，這些遲早會來臨。而你們是否會從中受益，取決于能否參透人生苦難傳遞的信息。”

"You are also privileged young men," he reminded the boys. "My advice is, don’t act like it."

“你們都是享受特權的一批年輕人，”羅伯茨提醒這些男孩：“我的建議是，不要表現(xiàn)得高人一等?！?/div>

Roberts’ speech wasn’t all serious.

羅伯茨并非全程嚴肅，他還跟男子中學的畢業(yè)生們開起玩笑。

"Most of you will be going to a school with girls. I have no advice for you," he said to laughter and applause from the crowd of graduates and parents.

“你們大多數(shù)人都將進入有女生的學校。關于這件事，我就不提建議了?！?/div>

Each graduate received a pocket-size copy of the Constitution, signed by Roberts.

每一位畢業(yè)生還收到了羅伯茨簽名的袖珍《憲法》。
