今天上午，我環(huán)視2015屆的畢業(yè)生們，我要告訴你們，我看到的都是實干家。
Which is good because, in years to come, there will be much for you to do -- both here at home and overseas.

I am keenly aware that commencement speakers have a habit of ticking through the world's problems,
我深知，畢業(yè)典禮的致辭人習慣細數(shù)世界問題，
and then challenging graduates to fix them. And yes, that is what I plan to do.
然后激發(fā)畢業(yè)生去解決問題。是的，我也準備這么做。
But when I tell you that the world needs you, I really, really do mean it.

But there is also a danger; because when pride in "us" descends into fear or hatred of "them,"
但是，這樣做也有危險，因為當對“我們”的驕傲變成對“他們”的害怕或仇恨時，
the American tapestry unravels and the social fabric is torn.
“美國織錦”就會被破壞，社會“纖維結構”將分崩離析。
