原文及翻译

President Bach, former President Rudenstein, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the board of overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially the graduates: I've been waiting more than 30 years to say this: Dad, I always told you I'd come back and get my degree.

巴赫校长、前任鲁登斯坦校长、即将上任的福斯特校长、哈佛公司成员和监事会成员、教职员工、家长们，尤其是毕业生们：我等了三十多年才说出这句话：爸爸，我一直告诉过您我会回来拿到学位。

I want to thank Harvard for this honor. I'll be changing my job next year, and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume. I applaud the graduates for taking a much more direct route to their degrees. For my part, I'm just happy that the Crimson called me Harvard's most successful dropout. 

我要感谢哈佛给我的这份荣誉。我明年就要换工作了，终于能在简历上写上大学学位了，这真是太好了。我为毕业生们采取更直接的途径获得学位而喝彩。就我而言，我很高兴《哈佛深红报》称我是哈佛最成功的辍学者。

I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class. I did the best for everyone who failed, but I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Balmer to drop out of business school. 

我想，这让我成为了我这个特殊班级的毕业生代表。我为所有失败的人尽了最大的努力，但我也希望人们认识到我是让史蒂夫·鲍尔默从商学院辍学的人。

I'm a bad influence. That's why I was invited to speak at your graduation. If I'd spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today. Harvard was a phenomenal experience for me. 

我是一个坏影响者。这就是我被邀请在你们毕业典礼上发言的原因。如果我在你们的迎新会上发言，今天在场的人可能会更少。哈佛对我来说是一次非凡的经历。

My academic life was fascinating. I used to sit in on lots of classes that I hadn't even signed up for, and dorm life was terrific. I lived up at Radcliffe in Career House.

我的学术生活令人着迷。我曾经旁听过很多我甚至没有报名的课程，宿舍生活也很棒。我住在拉德克利夫的职业之家。
