To all the members of the Morehouse family.

I have to say that it's a little hard to follow -- not

Dr. Wilson, but a skinny guy with a funny name.

我不是在說威爾森博士 而是一個有個好笑名字的瘦小傢伙

Betsegaw Tadele -- he's going to be doing something.

I also have to say that you all are going to get wet.

I know some of you are just graduating, "thank you, Lordy."

我知道你們有些人光是能畢業就要感謝上蒼了

That's appropriate because it's a Sunday.

剛才那段是因為今天是禮拜日才顯得合適

I see some moms and grandmas here, aunts,

I want to congratulate all of you -- the parents,

the grandparents, the brothers and sisters,

the family and friends who supported these young men

以及一路上以各種方式支持著這些年輕人的

Just think about it -- your sons, your brothers,

Those graduates just wanted you to know what it's like to

在這邊註冊上課的感覺是甚麼滋味而已

And this time of year brings a different kind of stress --

每年的這個時候都有一種獨特的緊張感

every senior stopping by Gloster Hall over the past week making

每一個經過格羅斯特廳的大四學生

sure your name was actually on the list of students who

都要確定你們的名字到底在不在

If it wasn't on the list, you had to figure out why.

Was it that library book you lent to that trifling roommate

是因為你之前把從圖書館借來的書 借給那個不太正直的朋友

是因為強森博士的政策課的關係嗎?

On that last point, I'm going to exercise my power as President

回到剛才的主題 我要行使我身為總統的權力

to declare this speech sufficient Crown Forum

credits for any otherwise eligible student to graduate.
