Today I feel much like I did when I came to Harvard Yard as a freshman in 1999.
我今天的感受跟我99年初到哈佛成為新生時的心情一樣。
When you guys were, to my continued shocked and horror, still in kindergarten.
說起這件事我還是很震驚，當時你們還上幼兒園呢。
I felt like there had been some mistake,
我感覺肯定是哪里出了錯，
that I wasn't smart enough to be in this company, and that every time I opened my mouth.
我每次開口說話時，感覺我的智商不配來這。
I would have to prove that I wasn't just dumb actress.
我必須要證明我不知是個白癡女演員。
So I start with an apology. This won't be very funny.
所以我要先道個歉。這場演講不會太搞笑。
I'm not a comedian. And I didn't get a ghost writer.
我不是個笑星，我也沒找寫手代筆。
But I am here to tell you today. Harvard is giving you all diplomas tomorrow. You are here for a reason.
不過今天我在這里是要告訴你們，哈佛明天就要給你們畢業(yè)證書了。你們到這里是有原因的。
Sometimes your insecurities and your inexperience may lead you, too,
有時你的不自信和無經(jīng)驗也會導致你
to embrace other people's expectations, standards, or values.
去接受別人的期待、標準或價值。
But you can harness that inexperience to carve out your own path,
但你們要知道，無經(jīng)驗可以造就你們自己的路，
one that is free of the burden of knowing how things are supposed to be,
一條沒有“事情本應怎樣做”之負擔的路，
a path that is defined by its own particular set of reasons.
一條由你自己的理由來定義的路。
