Graduating with style does not just mean not making an ass out of yourself. Put your best foot forward as you head into your future.
得體地畢業(yè)并不意味著你要把自己打扮成白癡。當(dāng)你的頭迎向未來時(shí)，腳步也要向前。

Step 1: Stand and sit up straight
Stand and sit up straight. Your parents are no doubt taping the entire event, so refrain from doing the slouch and shuffle—unless you want your sulky, pre-evolutionary amble to be captured for posterity.
站直和坐直
站直和坐直。你的父母肯定會(huì)將整個(gè)畢業(yè)儀式錄下來，所以不要懶散也不要拖拉，除非你想將陰沉的，未進(jìn)化完的老態(tài)龍鐘的樣子留給子孫當(dāng)笑柄。

Tip:Don’t get wasted the night before. You’ll feel awful and your pictures will look like crap.
小貼士:舉辦儀式前的前天晚上不要放縱。你會(huì)感覺很糟，你的照片看上去會(huì)更糟。

Step 2: Wear something nice
Wear something under your robe that’s tasteful and not too hot—something that won’t embarrass you or others when your robe inevitably comes off.
穿些漂亮的衣服
在禮服里面穿些有品味而且不會(huì)讓你感到熱的衣服，穿些當(dāng)你的禮服滑落時(shí)，不會(huì)讓你或他人感到尷尬的衣服。

Step 3: Look your best
Look your best. Get a haircut, if you need one, and, girls, consider a mani-pedi. You want to look sophisticated and confident as you enter the world.
看起來要最漂亮
看起來要最漂亮。如果有必要就剪下頭發(fā)，女孩看起來要整潔。當(dāng)你進(jìn)入社會(huì)時(shí)，你要看起來老練而又自信。

Tip:Slap on some sunscreen. A sunburned face is not stylish.
小貼士:擦些防曬油。擦了防曬油的臉不漂亮。

Step 4: Don’t be disrespectful
If you’re planning on being hilarious by disrupting the valedictorian’s speech with “woos” and “booyahs”… don’t.
不要無禮
如果你打算通過喊“哇塞”等來打斷告別演說者的講話，不要那樣做。

Step 5: Smile
When collecting your diploma, make eye contact with the person handing it to you. Give a good handshake—and remember to smile!
微笑
當(dāng)你接過證書時(shí)，要和頒發(fā)證書的人有眼神交流。禮貌地握下手并記得要微笑。

Step 6: Thank those who got you there
Thank the people responsible for you making it to graduation day. You know who they are.
感謝幫助你畢業(yè)的人
感謝那些幫助你畢業(yè)的人。你知道是哪些人。

Tip:If there is a faculty member who went above and beyond for you, or whose class you particularly enjoyed, take the time to say so.
小貼士:如果有在身邊的老師，或是他的課你特別喜歡，記得要去表達(dá)謝意。

Step 7: Send thank you cards
Send handwritten thank-you notes to everyone who remembered your graduation. Email doesn’t cut it when it comes to expressing gratitude.
寄感謝卡
向那些記得你畢業(yè)的人寄手寫的感謝卡。當(dāng)要表達(dá)感謝時(shí)，發(fā)電子郵件并不合適。
