Sound Bite 金句
1. Not a single one of us here today has done it alone, we are each a Patchwork Quilt of those who loved us, those who have believed in out 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.
今天在座的我们中，没有一个人能单独完成这一点（指博士毕业，拿到博士学位），因为我们每个人都是由那些爱我们的人，那些相信我们未来的人，那些向我们表达同情和善意或告诉我们逆耳真相的人，那些在完全没有把握的情况下告诉我们可以做到的人，拼凑而成的。
2. You don't always get all the things in the bag that you selected from the menu. In the delivery surface, that is life. You get what you get.
我们并不总是能获得我们想要选择的，在很多时候，这就是生活。你得到的是你能够得到的
3. You've worked and struggled and sacrificed and studied and dreamed your way here today and so you know what you're doing.
你们在这里工作，奋斗，牺牲，学习和梦想，所以你们最有资格知道你们在做什么
4. Part of growing up and moving into new chapters of your life is about catch and release. What I mean by that is konwing what things to keep and what things to release. You can't carry all things.
成长并进入生活新篇章的一部分是关于抓住和释放。我的意思是，知道哪些东西要保留，哪些东西要释放，你不能背负所有的东西。
5. Oftentimes, the good things in your life are lighter anyway, so there's more room for them. One toxic relationship can outweigh so many wonderful simple joys. You get to pick what your life has time and room for. Be discerning.
很多时候不管怎样，你们生活中的美好是可承受的轻盈，所以这些美好有更多的空间，而一段糟糕的关系或许会重于许多美好的纯粹的快乐。你可以在你的生活里选择拥有什么，要学会洞察。
6. No matter how hard you try to avoid being cringe, you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively.
无论你多么努力地避免他，你还是会不可避免地陷入过往的尴尬之中。
7. Trends and phases are fun. Looking back and laughing is fun. And while we are talking about things that make us squirm, but really shouldn't, I'd like to say I'm a big advocate for not hiding your enthusiasm for things.
潮流和过往都令人快乐。如今的回忆和自嘲也都令人快乐。我们经常为一些事情难为情，但其实没必要。我想在此大力倡导大家不要刻意隐藏你对一件事的热情。
8. Never be ashamed of trying. Effortlessness is a myth.
永远不要为自己的努力感到羞耻，不劳而获只是神话
9. I really do think we are all writers. And most of us write in different voice for different situations. You write differently in your Instagram stories than you do your senior thesis.You send a different type of email to your boss than you do your best friend from home.We are all literacy chameleons.
我真的认为我们每个人都是作家。在不同情况下用不同的方式写作。你在写 Instagram 故事时的写作方式与你在写毕业论文时的写作方式不同。你给老板发电子邮件的措辞和你在家给最好的朋友发邮件的措辞不同。我们都是文学的变色龙。
10. Being publicly humiliated over and over again at a young age was excruciatingly painful, but it forced me to devalue the rediculous notion of, minute by minute, ever fluctuating social relevance and likability.
在年轻的时候被一次又一次地公开羞辱，是极其痛苦的，但我也因此学会淡然接受那些荒谬的无时无刻不在变化的社会交往和所谓的人气。
11. So this might be hard for you to hear, in your life, you will inevitably misspeak, trust the wrong person, underreact, overreact, hurt the people who didn't deserve it, overthink, not think at all, self sabotage, create the reality where only your experience exists、ruin perfectly good moments for yourself and others, deny any wrong doing, not take the steps to make it right, feel very guilty, let the guilty eat at you, hit rock bottom, finally, address the pain your caused, try to do better next time, rinse, repeat.
所以下面一段话可能对你们而言有些难以接受，在你的生活中，你不可避免地会说错话、相信错误的人、反应太慢、反应过度、伤害不应该被伤害的人、思虑过度、掉以轻心、自暴自弃、幻想一个以你为中心的世界、毁掉自己和他人的美好时光、否认过错、不思悔改、感到内疚、任凭内疚侵蚀内心、跌进谷底、最后为你一手造成的痛苦负责，下次试着做得更好，重新来过。
