It was a BU graduate student Lu Lingzi who lost her life along with two other innocent people
一個名叫呂令子的波士頓大學研究生，還有另外兩名無辜的受害者，不幸喪生了，
on a beautiful April day in your sophomore year while simply watching the Boston Marathon.
就在你們大二那年一個美麗的四月天，就在看波士頓馬拉松比賽的時候。
I doubt you will ever forget where you were when those two backpacks exploded a few miles from here and knocked a city to its knees.
我相信，你們永遠不會忘記，當那兩個背包在離這兒幾英里處爆炸，讓整個城市為之祈禱的時候，自己身處何地。
But the initial hurt and horror gave way to something much more powerful: Boston Strong.
但是最初的傷害和恐懼被更具能量的東西所取代：“堅強波士頓”活動。
You held each other for support and rose back up together.
你們手拉著手尋求支持，然后并肩站起來。
I may live in New York, but our city was a sea of Boston baseball caps in the weeks that followed.
我當時住在紐約，但在接下來的幾周里，我們的城市也成了波士頓棒球帽的海洋。
And when the Red Sox clinched the World Series that fall, the entire nation cheered.
當那年秋天紅襪隊贏得美國職業棒球大賽冠軍時，整個國家都歡聲一片。
Yes, you bore witness to the worst of mankind, but you also experienced the best.
是的，你們看到了人類最糟糕的一面，但也經歷了最好的一面。
And you will carry that with you forever.
而且你們將永遠記住它們。
You learned what it means to be resilient, to stand side by side against any adversity.
你知道了什么是復原力，那就是肩并肩共同面對不幸。
You were part of Boston Strong, and it will always be part of you.
你們曾是“堅強波士頓”的一分子，這將永遠成為你們生命的一部分。
So now you're off, and I have a few final words of practical advice.
現在你們就快離開，我最后還有一些實用的建議。
Don't ever lose your enthusiasm. Don't suddenly become self conscious.
永遠不要失去你們的熱情。不要突然變得敏感。
Don't be that person who puts on a suit and takes off his glasses like this mid sentence because he thinks it makes him look smart.
不要做那種穿著西裝，像我這樣話說到一半時摘掉眼鏡的人，以為那樣看上去很聰明。
Trust me, unless you're the incredible Ed Bardley, CBS correspondent Ed Bradley, who was really cool, or maybe a TV lawyer:
相信我，除非你是CBS記者埃德·布拉德利那樣不可思議的人，他確實很帥，或者你是電視律師：
it looks good for them; with everyone else, it's just affect
對他們來說，那樣打扮很好；而對其他人來說，都只是裝。
