Dear students, distinguished teachers, parents and friends comingfromafar:
After years of hard study, students have successfully realized their college dreams and are about to embark on a new journey of life.First of all, ON behalf of the school to XX all undergraduate graduates to express warm congratulations and heartfelt blessing!
Todays commencement is destined to be an unforgettable moment for all of us. It brings me back to my own graduationfromcollege more than 30 years ago.I just listened to the speech of sha Ying, the graduate representative, and I believe she represents the sincerity of all the graduates of XX.Students of the school, parents, teachers have such heartfelt expression of emotion, Alma mater feel happy for you, I am proud of you!
Dear students, this year, the university has reformed the criteria for awarding bachelors degree. The degree awarding has been separatedfromthe Score of Cet-4, enabling more students to successfully complete their university studies.The reason why we do this is not to think that English is not important. The fundamental starting point is to adhere to the people-oriented concept and adhere to the way of education of the university, so that every student can enjoy free and harmonious development. The future of life should not be affected by the SCORE of CET-4.In fact,fromanother level, when we learn English well, we should also pay due attention to our mother tongue, establish the confidence and consciousness of national culture, which is also the obligatory responsibility and responsibility of university education.
College graduation ceremony is a vivid embodiment of the spirit and culture of the university, which will remain in our hearts forever after many years.This year, the university has provided a gown for each of you to feel and enjoy the occasion.Due to the large number of graduates, I cannot personally award degrees to each student. Please understand that I will authorize each school to award bachelors degrees to each student.
University is the palace of human science and knowledge, is the highland of thought and spirit.The Confucian classic, The Book of Rites, opens with the words: "The way of a university lies in being clear and virtuous, being close to the people, and being perfect.Knowledge leads to stillness, and stillness leads to stillness, and stillness leads to security, and security leads to contemplation, and contemplation leads to acquisition."Such ideas are still guiding the running practice of modern universities in China."Stop at perfection" undoubtedly represents the highest pursuit of human moral ideal, which is the power of faith.
We say that the fundamental mission of a university is to foster morality and cultivate people.What is the basis of virtue? It is ideal, it is faith, it is faith.People are good and evil, people are good and evil, the key lies in the difference between ideals, beliefs and beliefs.An ideal is a vision of what is possible in connection with a goal.Faith is the spiritual will established on the basis of certain knowledge, to believe in a certain idea or ideal and to act on it.Faith is the highest level of ideas, is a certain doctrine, advocates of extreme confidence, trust and respect.In my mind, faith is a sacred word, faith is a power of thought.To be strong, a nation must have firm and upward faith.To prosper, a society must have a firm and upward faith;To live a meaningful and valuable happy life, one needs a great faith to guide and support.
Fellow students, faith is the foundation of morality, faith is the source of strength, faith is the rule of behavior, faith is the mark of action, faith is the road to happiness.In this era of pluralism and openness, we still need firm faith.In the course of life in the future, I hope you will let the lighthouse of faith illuminate your way forward, and let the power of faith guide you to live a full life with pursuit, value and significance!
Thank you!

Dear parents, teachers and dear children:
How do you do!First of all, my warmest congratulations to you as you finish your studies and head off into the distance.
Just listen to the introduction of 20 classes, just like flipping through old photos, arouse my dusty memories.
Remember,20XX, in the military training base, our school team to visit you, is catching up with you in the hot sun to practice standing posture, the instructor told me that this is "I have ever seen the most strong will of the students."
I remember that in 20xx, in the final district unified examination, it was you who created the history of winning the second place in Longgang District by equal points of multiple cultural disciplines. You told everyone with your efforts and actions that "everything is possible as long as you work hard."
I remember that in 20xx, in the science and culture festival, you created an 8-meter long scroll "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", and you performed a large-scale poem reciting "Ode to Chinese Etiquette" in the rain. At that time, a leader who visited our school said to me, "This is the real quality education."
Of course, you will not forget the college entrance examination, the red carpet, and teachers high five refueling, so confident, so heroic, so exciting.At that moment, I said to myself "This is our greatest educational achievement, you are __ forever proud."
This touching photo will not only be treasured in the archives, but also in the minds of every __ forever.Because, she recorded your colorful youth, witnessed your growth footprint, froze many warm moments.
But I also know that life cannot and should not be frozen in photographs.Today, you will leave here, resolutely to the distance of lifes dreams.
Facing the distance, I believe you must be full of longing, lofty feelings.But, dear students, have not thought, you why to go far?Please do not forget, only reading can reach far.As much as you have read, dear children, as your president, I want to tell you that I would much rather see you stop studying for tests, stop studying for what you need.Reading is a lifetime thing, reading will give you wisdom and spirit, give you the direction and method of the distance;Remember, there is still peace so far away.Impetuosity will not take you far away, do not for immediate fame and wealth and exhaust your passion for life, do not shake the direction of your life for the cold and hot professional.
Students, if you want to sendfar away, dont go too far in the direction of small wisdom, think more about big wisdom, big pattern;Dont go too far in the direction of complaining, think about how to build, how to grow;Dont go too far in the direction of hatred, think more about tolerance and gratitude;Dont go too far in the direction of utilitarianism and tackiness. Think about the dedication and dedication of your parents and teachers.Dont go too far in the direction of self-righteousness, think more about the dream at the beginning.
Boys, always remember why you set out."We have gone so far that we have forgotten why we started," said The Lebanese poet Gibran.We should not pursue education for the sake of education, so that we forget the social responsibility of higher education;We should not succeed for the sake of success, so that we forget the mission and responsibility behind success;We should not be individualistic for individualistic sake, so that we forget the essence of human nature and the direction of progress.
As president, as teachers, everyone here is eager to see you go faster and climb higher in your life.But I want to tell you right now that you dont have to go too fast on your way to a distant place.The Indians told us not to run too fast, but to let our souls follow;Do not too deliberately pursue must go far, "know" can be far.
Class, please take an old photo for a trip.When confused, the old photos of "seeking truth, kindness and beauty" may help you point the way.In times of despair, that old picture of you as a miracle may give you strength to move forward.When you succeed, old pictures of "progressive happiness" may add even more joy and happiness.

Ben: Hello, everyone. It’s my honor to talk about dream and responsibility. My dream is to work in the field of AI, artificial intelligence. AI has been widely used in many walks of life nowadays. Have you ever heard the news that the world champion of go, Kejie, was defeated by arobot, Alpha Go. It is proved that AI is highly intelligent and efficient. Ifwe used it well, the world would be a better place for every mankind.
“we have the most dedicated teachers, the mostsupportive parents, and the best school in my mind ---but none of them will matter unless we fulfill our responsibilities, unless we do the hard work ittakes to succeed.” That’s what I want to say today: we should be responsiblefor our own education.
Ben: 大家好，今天我非常荣幸和大家分享我们对梦想和责任的看法。我的梦想是成为一名人工智能工程师。人工智能现在已经在各行各业中得到了广泛的应用。你们听说过机器人AlphaGo击败世界围棋冠军柯洁的新闻吗？人工智能高效专业，如果运用的好，世界将变得更加美好。
我们有最敬业的老师，最尽力的家长和我心中最好的学校——但如果我们不履行自己的责任，不为成功付出努力。那么这一切都毫无意义。我今天想说的是，我们每个人要对自己的教育负责。
Ben: Hi, I heard you would be a scientist in the future, Annie?
Annie: Yes, my dream is to be a scientist. I hope that one day Ican make a spaceship for my country although the way won’t be easy I know. So it’s not only my dream and my future, but also the dream and future of our country. We have the responsibility to make our country better and stronger to meet the great challenges in the future. It’s also Chinese Dream to everyone.
Annie:是的，我的梦想是成为一名科学家，我希望能够为国家制造航天飞机。尽管我知道道路是曲折的，但我明白这不仅仅是我个人的梦想和未来，更是国家的梦想和未来。我们有责任让中国更加强大，去迎接未来的挑战。我的梦也是中国梦。
Alex：My dream is not so concrete like yours. My dream is to make gender notas a barrier for everyone, that is, men and women should be equal. In China, there are still hundreds and thousands of girls who cannot receive education. I hope they can go into schools and sit in the classrooms like us today. We should cherish our opportunity being educated in such a wonderful environment.We should take the responsibility to learn and work hard, dear fellow students！
Alex：我的梦想不像你们的那么具体。我的梦想是不让性别成为障碍，即:要实现男女平等。在中国现在仍然有许多女童因为性别原因不能接受教育。我希望她们可以走进学校，坐在窗明几亮的教室里和我们一样学习。我们应该珍惜如此优质的`学习环境，我们有责任去努力，去奋发图强, 亲爱的同学们！
Rain: I totally agree with you, Alex. In our daily life, we should be compassionate and careful enough to help our friends, just like Confucius said “Don’t fail to do good even if it is small.” we also need the knowledge and problem-solving skills we learn to cure diseases like cancer and Ebola. It’s our responsibility.
Rain: 对，我完全赞同。在平时的生活中，我们需要有爱心和耐心去帮助周围的朋友，正如孔子所言“勿以善小而不为”。我们需要努力学习，找到途径去治疗癌症，埃博拉等等现在人类还无法攻克的顽疾。这是我们的责任。
Jason: we will get strength and power through learning. The greater power means the greater responsibilities. We should help people who are struggling in poverty and homelessness. It’s our responsibility.
Jason: 我们将会从学习中汲取力量。力量越大责任也越大。我们要帮助那些还挣扎在贫困线上的人们，那些无家可归的人们。这是我们的责任。
Vanesa: right! We learn not only for ourselves or our families, but for others and for ourcountry. We have the responsibility to be creative and initiative to boost our economy and protect our environment. We have the responsibility to be altruists and say no to “egoism”. It’s our responsibility.
Vanesa: 对，我们不仅仅为了自己和家人而学习，我们还为了帮助别人，为了国家而学习。我们有责任发挥聪明才智、进取精神发展经济，保护环境。我们有责任对“精致的利己主义”说不，选择利他。这是我们的使命。
Lisa: Let us be courageous to take our responsibilities. “There is no excuse that says: “that’s just how things are done there.” We should be the last people to accept it, and the first to change it.” Yes, we can change the world through knowledge-learning, through hard-working and through our great efforts.
Lisa: 让我们勇于承担肩负的责任。不要说“现状无法改变”，我们应该是那个最后接受而最早行动起来的人。是的，我们能够改变世界，我们能够通过知识、勤奋和努力改变世界。
Stephanie: I know it won’t be easy, but the best education we’ve received now and we will receive in the future gives us opportunities that we are the uniquely qualified and responsible, to build a better world for everyone.
Stephanie: 我知道这并不容易，但是我们现在和将来所要接受的教育会让我们变成合格的，有责任感的最佳人选。我们会努力的！会让这个世界变得更加美好！
Stephanie: Dear fellow graduates,congratulates and best wishes for all of you! 亲爱的学哥学姐们，在今天的毕业典礼上，我们英文演讲班的同学为你们送上最诚挚美好的祝福:
Rain: to hold on your dreams!
Annie: to meet the challenge!

Members of the Parent Council, Parents, teachers and students:
Everybody is good!
Today is the graduation ceremony day of our school, this years graduates, thanks to all the superiors and distinguished guests, in their busy schedule to come to guide, and give a lot of precious prizes to encourage students, on behalf of the teachers and students to the highest respect and gratitude.
Dear graduates, graduation is only theendof one stage of learning, but also the beginning of another.After three years of hard study in Sacred Heart, the students finally finished their study with perseverance, patience and perseverance.All the officers, distinguished guests, parents and teachers present here are happy and congratulating you.
In the past three years, every teacher of Sacred Heart has not only taught you knowledge, but also guided many people and things.As you are leaving school today, the headmaster would like to remind and encourage you.I think in todays society, there are a lot of people at the time of frustration, or work not smooth, will think of going to fortune tellers, we are not against fortune tellers, but more importantly, each one should carry his own life, go your own way and the master of himself is the fate, want to change your fate, create a new bureau, only by knowing yourself, settled themselves, their own have a real possibility,So how do you create yourself? I think you should have four things;Thats faith, concept, connection, ability.
The first faith: the purpose of faith is to let us cultivate the mind and mind full of faith.What letter of the word mother source ethics, self-restraint all the good faith can cultivate good roots, can help us to bother brain, beautify life, the future is expected, life have to rely on, when everyone enjoying the material life, more need to have a soul of nutrients to nourish, soft, especially young people need through religion to balance the body and mind more, Ann lives of body and mind.
The second idea: each of us should have the right idea, especially in this era of rapid competition, our idea should change with the change of external environment at any time;The so-called mountain does not turn the road, the road does not turn people, people do not turn the heart, everyone should be timely, appropriate, appropriate situation, appropriate situation to adjust the correct outlook on life, so that they can be full of confidence to accept every challenge.
The third affinity: as the saying goes, people are prosperous, wealth is prosperous, and good affinity is to maintain high quality interpersonal relationship with others. Whether a persons connections are abundant or weak is an important key to success.A smile, a greeting can become attached to others, please do not be stingy.
The fourth ability: People often complain: Why do I always fail to achieve the goal and desire to succeed, but do we have enough ability to open the door to success? A product has good quality and marketing plan, but if there is no good execution ability, no matter how good the product is, it will not sell well.Therefore, it is very important to develop your own professional field and executive skills.
Dear students: as the saying goes: fortune makes life, the opportunity is infinite, do you want to create the spring of your life please do not forget, you must have a firm belief, correct concept, good contacts, advantage ability, with the above conditions, I believe your future will be full of spring flowers, brilliant.
Finally, wish: graduates, bright prospects, bright future!
Blessing: school students, academic progress, happy body and mind!
I wish: distinguished guests, good health and all the best!
毕业典礼致辞英文 第9篇
i am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. i never graduated from college. truth be told, this is the closest i"ve ever gotten to a college graduation.
today i want to tell you three stories from my life. that"s it. no big deal. just three stories.
the first story is about connecting the dots.
i dropped out of reed college after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before i really quit. so why did i drop out?
it started before i was born. my biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. she felt very strongly that i should be adopted by the college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. except that when i popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. so my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "we have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" they said: "of course." my biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. she refused to sign the final adoption papers. she only relented a few months later when my parents promised that i would someday go to college.
and 17 years later i did go to college. but i naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as stanford, and all of my working-class parents" savings were being spent on my college tuition. after six months, i couldn"t see the value in it. i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. and here i was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. so i decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok. it was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions i ever made. the minute i dropped out i could stop taking the required classes that didn"t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
it wasn"t all romantic. i didn"t have a dorm room, so i slept on the floor in friends" rooms, i returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and i would walk the 7 miles across town every sunday night to get one good meal a week at the hare krishna temple. i loved it. and much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. let me give you one example: reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. because i had dropped out and didn"t have to take the normal classes, i decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. i learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. it was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can"t capture, and i found it fascinating.
none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. but ten years later, when we were designing the first macintosh computer, it all came back to me. and we designed it all into the mac. it was the first computer with beautiful typography. if i had never dropped in on that single course in college, the mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. and since windows just copied the mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. if i had never dropped out, i would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when i was in college. but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
again, you can"t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. you have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
my second story is about love and loss.
i was lucky – i found what i loved to do early in life. woz and i started apple in my parents garage when i was 20. we worked hard, and in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. we had just released our finest creation - the macintosh - a year earlier, and i had just turned 30. and then i got fired. how can you get fired from a company you started?
well, as apple grew we hired someone who i thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. but then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. when we did, our board of directors sided with him. so at 30 i was out. and very publicly out. what had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
i really didn"t know what to do for a few months. i felt that i had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that i had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. i met with david packard and bob noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. i was a very public failure, and i even thought about running away from the valley. but something slowly began to dawn on me – i still loved what i did. the turn of events at apple had not changed that one bit. i had been rejected, but i was still in love. and so i decided to start over.
i didn"t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
during the next five years, i started a company named next, another company named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.
pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. in a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i retuned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple"s current renaissance. and laurene and i have a wonderful family together.
i"m pretty sure none of this would have happened if i hadn"t been fired from apple. it was awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it.
sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. don"t lose faith. i"m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did.
