You must bend down and let someone else stand on your shoulders so that they can see a brighter future.
你們必須彎下腰來讓別人站在你們的肩膀上，讓他們看到更加燦爛的未來。
As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, "Service is the rent we pay for living...it is the true measure of our success." So, graduates, when times get tough and fear sets in, think of those people who paved the way for you and those who are counting on you to pave the way for them. Never let setbacks or fear dictate the course of your life. Hold on to the possibility and push beyond the fear. Hold on to the hope that brought you here today, the hope of laborers and immigrants, settlers and slaves, whose blood and sweat built this community and made it possible for you to sit in these seats.
正如兒童權利倡導者和社會活動家馬琳·賴特·埃德曼所說：“服務是我們為生活而支付的租金...它是真正的標準，是我們衡量成功的唯一標準。”因此，畢業生們，當世道艱險，恐懼來臨的時候，想想那些為你們鋪路搭橋的人們吧，想想那些期待你們為他們鋪路搭橋的人們吧。永遠不要讓挫折或恐懼占據你們的人生之路。只要有可能，就要堅持住并把恐懼拋諸腦后。堅守住那曾經把你們帶到這里的希望，那是勞工和移民的希望，那是移居者和奴隸的希望，他們用血汗建設了這個社會，他們讓你們有機會坐在了這里。
There are a lot of people in your lives who work a little something about the power of hope. Don't we, parents and grandparents? Look, I know a little something about the power of hope. My husband knows a little something about the power of hope.
在你們的生命中有很多人知道希望的力量。難道不是嗎？父母們，祖父母們。瞧，我知道希望的力量。我的丈夫知道希望的力量。
You are the hope of Merced and of this nation. And be the realization of our dreams and the hope for the next generation. We believe in you. Thank you so much, and good luck. God bless you all.
你們是摩賽德的希望，是我們國家的希望。實現我們的夢想吧，成為下一代的希望。我們相信你們。非常感謝大家，祝你們好運。上帝保佑你們。
