Now, I don't know whether your President knows what I was going to say today,
現在，我不知道校長是否了解我今天演講的話題，
but I know that he had some kind words for you all about this issue.
但是我相信他肯定給你們說過一些相關的話語。
But it's no coincidence that we're both urging you to get involved in civic life.
但是我們都在敦促你們參加公民生活，這并不是巧合。
Because we both know that you cannot fully achieve your goals of service and social justice if you turn away from politics and public policy.
因為我們都知道，如果你們遠離政治和政治政策，你們就無法完成服務社會、實現社會公正的目標。
You see, it's wonderful to volunteer at your local homeless shelter -- please do that
在當地無家可歸者收容所做志愿者很棒，請去做吧，
but you also need to attend the city council meetings and make sure the zoning laws don't shut that shelter down.
但是你們需要參加市議會會議，并確保分區的法律不會關閉收容所。
Are you thinking of teaching in an under-served school?
你們是否想過在資源匱乏的學校教學？
If so, I'm glad to hear that. So many kids need you.
如果是，我很高興，這些孩子需要你們。
But you've also got to elect good people to your school board and state legislature,
你們還需要選舉合適的校董事會和州立法機構人員，
because they decide whether you have the resources you need to inspire and empower your students.
因為他們決定你們是否擁有激發和增強學生能力所需要的資源。
Are you planning to rally for marriage equality on the steps of the Supreme Court? I certainly hope so.
你們是否打算在最高法院爭取婚姻平等？我當然希望如此。
But I also hope you will knock on doors and make some calls to elect a President who shares your values.
但是我也希望你們挨家挨戶敲門、打電話，來選出一個認同你的價值觀的總統。
Because that President will ultimately choose the who decide those cases in the first place.
因為那位總統將選出那些直接決定這些案件的司法人員。
And finally, while peaceful protest can be powerful, if we truly want to reform our criminal justice system,
最后，雖然和平抗議很有力量，但如果我們真心希望改革我們的刑事司法制度，
then we need to come together and do the hard work of changing our laws and policies to reflect our values.
那我們就需要團結起來，為改變我們的法律和政策來反映我們的價值觀而付出艱苦的努力。
