歡迎我們的開場嘉賓，提姆．庫克博士

Thank you very much, President Knapp, for that kind intro.

十分感謝你親切的介紹，納普主席

Alex, trustees, faculty and deans of the university,

亞歷克斯、董事會、教職員們及個學院的院長們

and especially you, the class of 2015. Yes.

尤其是你們2015年的畢業班，大家好

to your friends that are attending today's ceremony.

也恭喜今天你們來到典禮現場的家人朋友們

It's a privilege, a rare privilege of a lifetime

極其榮幸今天跟你們一起在這裡

And I can't thank you enough for making me an honorary Colonel.

我十分感激能夠獲得榮譽博士這個殊榮

they asked me to make a standard announcement.

Apple has a world-class recycling program.

You know, this is really an amazing place.

And for a lot of you, I'm sure that being here in Washington,

我相信對你們很多人來講，在一開始要決定在哪裡念書時

選擇在華盛頓，這個對我們民主中極其重要的地方念書

was a big draw when you were choosing which school to go to.

馬丁．路德．金挑戰了美國人民的想法

to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

讓所有上帝的子民們獲得正義的伸張

that President Ronald Reagan called on us

and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds.

by telling you about my first visit here.

In the summer of 1977,  yes, I'm a little old,

在1977年夏天，對，我是有點老了

I was 16 years old and living in Robertsdale,

當時我16歲，住在阿拉巴馬州南方一個

the small town in southern Alabama that I grew up in.

名叫Robertsdale的小鎮，這我也是從小長大的地方

At the end of my junior year of high school,

sponsored by the National Rural Electric Association.

國家鄉村電子協會贊助的論文比賽

I can't remember what that essay was about.

我想不起來那篇論文是有關什麼的了

is writing it by hand, draft after draft after draft.

那論文是用手寫的，寫了數不清的草稿

I was one of two kids from Baldwin County

我是其中一個唯二來自Baldwin郡的小孩

along with hundreds of other kids across the country.

與其他地區的數百個小孩們一同去華盛頓

在我們出發前，我們阿拉巴馬州的代表團

took a trip to our state capitol in Montgomery

來到了阿拉巴馬州的首府，蒙哥馬利

The governor's name was George C. Wallace,

那州長的名字是喬治．C．華勒斯

stood in the schoolhouse door at the University of Alabama

to block African-Americans from enrolling.

Wallace embraced the evils of segregation.

華勒斯認同可惡的種族隔離主義

He pitted whites against blacks, the South against the North,

the working class against the so-called elites.

Meeting my governor was not an honor for me.

會見我們的州長對我來說，並不是一件榮譽的事情

My heroes in life were Dr. Martin Luther King

我這生的偶像是馬丁．路德．金博士

against the very things that Wallace stood for.

他們反對那些華倫斯相信的價值

Keep in mind that I grew up or when I grew up,

I grew up in a place where King and Kennedy

When I was a kid, the South was still coming to grips

美國南北戰爭是有關國家的權利

It drew on the moral sense that I'd learned from my parents

and led me on my own journey of discovery.

我在公共圖書館裡找到了幾本，

可能圖書館也不知道他們自己有的書

They all pointed to the fact that Wallace was wrong,

that injustices like segregation have no place in our world,

像種族隔離這種不公義的事情本不應該存在世界上

As I said, I was only 16 when I met Governor Wallace,

回到我剛說的，我與州長華勒斯見面時，年僅16歲

so I shook his hand as we were expected to do.

But shaking his hand felt like a betrayal of my own beliefs.
