You see, I don't normally give speeches, especially ones which require offering advice and inspiration.
你們知道，我通常不做演講，尤其是那些要給建議、鼓舞人心的演講。
I'm more "you mother" than I am Mother Theresa.
與其說我像特蕾莎修女，不如說我更像“你們的母親”。
Just the thought of standing up here gave me such agita that I originally said no.
一想到要站在這里，我的胃里就一陣翻滾，所以一開始我沒有答應(yīng)。
But the person asking me was my dear friend and illustrious BU grad Andy Lack, the new chairman of NBC news and MSNBC.
但是讓我來的人是我的好友、波士頓大學(xué)杰出畢業(yè)生安迪·萊克，現(xiàn)在是美國全國廣播公司新聞部和微軟全國廣播公司的新任總裁。
So in the end, I couldn't resist.
所以到最后，我不能拒絕了。
And, by the way, I fully intend to remind him of this in a few months when my contract comes up for renewal
順便說一下，我一定得提醒他，再過幾個月我的合同就要到期了，需要續(xù)約，
because at 61, I need the job security.
因為在61歲這個年紀(jì)，我很需要工作保障。
So here I stand, a nervous wreck, worried I'll say the wrong thing
所以我站在這里，緊張得要命，擔(dān)心會說錯什么話，
and you're gonna end up years from now drowning your sorrows at Tavern in the Square. Yeah.
是啊，幾年后，你們在廣場酒館里會借酒澆愁。
Wondering, "Where we go wrong? Oh yeah, it all started with that damn commencement speech."
心里會尋思著，“我們是哪里走錯了呢？哦，對了，一切都開始于那場該死的畢業(yè)演講。”
Or perhaps even more humiliating, you won't remember the speech at all, much less who gave it.
也許比這更沒面子，你們根本不會記得這場演講，更別說是誰講的了。
But that's the future; this is now. And if I'm nervous, maybe you are, too.
但那都是以后的事情，我們要說的是現(xiàn)在。如果說我很緊張的話，你們大概也一樣。
Maybe you're anxious about what comes next,
也許你們對接下來將要發(fā)生的事感到焦慮；
feeling the pressure to have all the answers, to get it right, right out of the box.
也許你們感到有壓力，因為要揭開所有的答案，要確保它們完全正確。
