Well, let me tel you something, the answer is simple: you inspires me. You touched me. You know, there are few things that are more rewarding than to watch young people recognize that they have the power to make their dreams come true. And you did just that. Your perseverance and creativity were on full display in your efforts to bring me here to Merced for this wonderful occasion.
那么讓我告訴大家，我的答案很簡單：是因為你們激發了我，你們感動了我。你們知道，幾乎沒有什么比看到年輕人認識到他們能夠實現自己的夢想更有價值了。你們確實認識到了這一點。你們邀請我來見證這一美好時刻，期間你們所付出的努力充分展示了你們的堅韌和想象力。
So, let me tell you what you did. If you don't know, parents, because some of this wonderful cards from students; each and every one of them so filled with hope and enthusiasm. It moved not just me but my entire staff. They came up to me and said, "Michelle, you have to do this." "You have to go there."
那么，讓我告訴大家你們都做了什么。各位家長，你們可能不知道，你們中也有一些人參與其中。我收到了上千封學生們的來信，當然還有情人節明星片，每一封信每一張明信片中都充滿了期待和熱情。這不僅感動了我，還感動了我所有的同事們。他們過來跟我說：“米歇爾，你必須去參加?！薄澳惚仨毜侥抢锶ァ！?/div>
They were all terrific. Like the one from Christopher Casuga that read, "Dear Mrs. Obama: Please come to UC Merced's commencement. We would really use the publicity." That really touched me.
那些信和明信片都寫得棒極了。比如，來自克里斯多夫·卡蘇卡的信中寫道：“親愛的奧巴馬夫人，請來參加加州大學莫塞德分校畢業典禮吧！我們真的可以使用公眾輿論。”那真的觸動了我的心靈。
Or then there was one from Jim Greenwood who wrote not on his behalf but on behalf of his wife and mother of his two children, who is graduating with us today.
來自吉姆·格林伍德的信中說，他不僅僅是代表他自己給我寫信，還代表他的妻子。他的妻子已經是兩個孩子的母親了，她是今天在座的畢業生中的一員。
And then there was the one from Andres Mercado. I think this was one of my favorites. Andrea said that the role of First Lady is —and I hope—"The balance between the politics and sanity". Thank you, Andrea, for that vote of confidence.
還有一封來自安德里亞·梅爾卡多的信。我想這是我最喜歡的來信中的一封。安德里亞在信中寫道：“第一夫人的角色就是要在政治和理智之間尋求平衡?！敝x謝你，安德里亞，謝謝你給我的信任投票。
