华外秦和校长在XX届毕业典礼的讲话
尊敬的各位教授，各位同学，各位家长，各位老师：
大家好。
distinguished professors, students, parents and teachers:
good afternoon!
今天是XX届全体毕业生的大日子!这是值得同学们一生铭记的最重要、最难忘的时刻。我代表学校，向圆满完成学业的1884名本科同学、向第一批获得翻译硕士专业学位的49名研究生同学，表示最热烈的祝贺!同时，也请同学们以最热烈的掌声，向你们的父母、敬爱的老师以及同窗好友表示衷心的感谢。感谢他们一直以来的关心、培养与勉励!
today is a significant and beautiful day for all graduates. it is one which you will remember for the rest of your lives. on behalf of the university, i would like to extend our warmest congratulations to you all. let us give applause and show our appreciation to those who have helped along the way.
同学们，经过了四年的磨炼，你们付出了辛勤的劳动，经历了漫长的努力、等待和几多个不眠之夜。大学就像人生驿站，有微笑也有感悟，你们所有人都跨越同一个人生阶段，获得了任何人都不能从你们手中夺走的智慧与才干。每年的这个时候，我都遇到同样的你们，心情复杂、激动，充满憧憬与感慨。今天，最后一刻，在你们即将合上你们人生之中非常珍贵的一章，我希望你们不要因为没有获得最好的成绩而内疚，也不要为没有找到最满意的工作而感到沮丧。对于你们，人生的考试和作业刚刚开始。
dear students, you have devoted much of your time and endeavors to your academic pursuits and university life. you have made extraordinary efforts to be where you are today. university life is colorful and full of smiles, inspiration and life lessons. at this time of year, i can see students are excited, hopeful and cautious about their future. today is for celebrating achievement. lets focus on what you have, instead of what you do not. life has only just begun.
太多的日子里，以太多的方式，亲爱的同学们，以你们的求知欲、坚持和以为教育能使社会、生活更加美好，坚定的信念激励着我，激励着所有的老师，使我们始终坚持并践行这样的教育理想：不仅要传授知识和技能，还要培养健全的人格，使同学们知识、能力、人格全面发展。与其他许多大学相比，也许华外的管理过于严格，华外的要求有些琐碎。但我坚信，正是严格的、精细化的管理，以及对于公益精神、社会责任感的坚守，铸就并在你们身上彰显了华外独特的精神气质。此时此刻，我自豪地告诉大家，你们无论走到哪里，都是不同凡响，必将赢得尊重，深受欢迎!
we have been inspired by your desire for knowledge, perseverance and faith in the power of education. we must adhere to the educational ideal---- a universities responsibility is not restricted to imparting knowledge and skill. it is also to cultivate the development of students character. huawai has many regulations. we uphold these standards, so that you maybe better equipped to be responsible members of society. i am confident that you will be outstanding, respected and welcome, wherever you go.
同学们，大学是为学生而存在。在你们离开校园之际，我要衷心地感谢你们。过去的四年，华外持续健康发展，高举公益大旗，坚持非营利性办学，以开展国家教育体制改革试点单位为契机，办学层次实现新的跨越，人才培养质量得到显著提高，发展环境明显改善，办学声誉和社会影响力大幅提升。去年，在教育部等部门大力支持下，我校等26所民办高校发起成立了非营利性民办高校联盟，并当选为首届主席单位。华外事业的点滴进步，都凝聚着你们的汗水;学校前进的每一个步伐都留下了你们拼搏进取的印记。在此，我代表学校向你们道一声：谢谢!感谢你们对学校的支持与奉献;感谢你们对学校的理解与宽容;感谢你们为学校不断添光加彩!
dear students, the university exists to serve those who wish to learn. at this moment of parting, i would like to give my sincere thanks to you. by acting as the pilot university of education reforms, huawai has undergone steady and fast development. as a result, the talent of our graduates has increased greatly. last year, 26 private universities, including our own, came together and established the not for profit, private university alliance. i want to thank you for your support and dedication. thank you for your understanding and determination. thank you for the honor you have achieved for your school.
亲爱的同学们，今天是庆贺的日子，也是总结的日子!今天的典礼是你们生命中一个重要的转折点。你们就要告别母校，踏上社会途程，开始你们的新生活，开始撑起你们的肩膀来挑自己的担子。在临别之际，作为校长、你们的老师，能够为你们提供的帮助，还有一些特别的嘱托和希望。
dear students, today, we celebrate your transition and from students to educated members of society. you are going to achieve many great things for your country and family. i would like to share the following advice with you.
第一，要坚持理想和信念，心系祖国。我们的大学是为了公共利益而建立的。发展道德和智力是我们的主旋律。大学的发展和真正福祉从来都是与我们的国家命运休戚与共的。我想说，大学是如此，我们个人更是如此。我希望同学们能够将自己的理想信念主动融入民族命运中，拥有世界眼光和国家意识，心系祖国，回报社会，有责任和义务承担起推动社会发展的使命。要知道人生最重要的事情就是确定一个伟大的目标，树立远大的理想。因为理想是指路明灯，没有理想，就没有坚定的方向和有意义的人生。一个精神生活很充实的人，一定是一个很有理想的人，一定是一个很高尚的人。我希望同学们牢记“得其大者可以兼其小”。不要问国家能为你们做些什么，而要问你们能为国家做些什么?只有把人生理想和信念融入国家和社会的事业中，才能最终成就一番事业，成为受社会欢迎的栋梁之才。
firstly, consider your country and its future when shaping your dreams, beliefs and ambitions. this university was established for the sake of public welfare. we all have responsibilities to our country and its heritage. the most satisfying thing in life is to pursue goals. one should have a grand ideal and lofty ambitions for his country. what can you do for your country? only by aligning ourselves to national and social development, can we be successful.
第二，要坚持做人第一，崇德修身。“国无德不兴，人无德不立”，做人做事第一位的是崇德修身。因为德是首要。一个人只有明大德、守公德、严私德，其才方能用得其所。荷塞.马蒂说过“最困难的职业就是怎样为人”，希望同学们参加工作岗位后，要先学会做人。要讲诚信，因为诚信是做人之根本，立业之基。诚信的约束不仅来自外界，更来自我们的自律心态和自身的道德力量;要讲修养，修养的本质如同人的性格，最终能够归结到道德情操上;要养成良好的习惯，习惯的力量是惊人的，它经年累月地影响着我们的品德，决定着我们的成败;要具有高度的责任感，责任感是一个人品格和能力的承载，是道德评价的最基本的标准。同学们，要做最优秀的人。最优秀的人不惧怕责备，也不期求赞美。最优秀的人就是把最好的东西奉献出来的人，就是以某种方式作出做大努力的人。
second, learn how to be a good person, cultivate your morality. josé martí says, the toughest job is to be a man. be honest, cultured, responsible and develop good habits. great people are not afraid of blame, nor do they expect recognition. instead, they act on what they perceive to be right.
第三，要坚持学习和思考，积蓄能量。我们知道，所有的教育和学习都是终身的。不向前不知道路远，不学习不明白真理。看书和学习是思想的经常营养，是思想的无穷发展。古往今来，一切成就事业，对人类有所作为的，无不是脚踏实地，艰苦攀登的结果。大学毕业，人生并没有毕业，在科技进步日新月异的时代，学习和思考比以往任何时候都变得更加繁重而迫切。希望同学们树立终身学习的理念，要知道，学习必须与实干相结合，要从书本中学习，更要从生活中、实践中学习。要有独立思考的能力和自我反省的力量，没有真正独立深刻的思考，就难以作出正确的决断，日后难以形成自己对社会、对人生的深刻认识。真正的学习不仅仅是知识性学习，而且是精神性学习，我们需要通过学习唤醒潜能，通过唤醒潜能，获得生命价值。正所谓“大志非才不就，大才非学不成”。“鸟欲高飞先振翅，人求上进先读书。”如果不想在世界上虚度一生，那就要学习一辈子。学习—永远不晚!
thirdly, keep learning, thinking and accumulating energy. education is a life long process. graduation does not mark the end of your learning. learning and remaining vigilant is now more important than ever before. we should find strength within independent thought and self reflection. learning is not a destination. it as a journey of self discovery.
第四，要学会生活，做一个成功的人。生活是生命中最为重要的组成部分。生活的目标是什么?不同的人有不同的答案，但有一点是共同的：我们每一个人都应当追求幸福的生活，有意义的生活!当你们离开母校，走进真实社会后，希望同学们遇事要冷静，面对困难与坎坷不要急躁，要坚韧、淡定、乐观;要学会包容、学会感恩;要有正确的价值导向，抵制诱惑、防止功利。要使公益精神与文化、“简单做人、踏实做事”、“天下大事必从细而做”成为你们一生的行为准则。同学们，世界上没有一条成功的路是由鲜花铺成的。首先，要学会计划自己的事业，计划在一个人成功的一生中起到开端的作用。还要有信念，信念是比钢还硬的东西，可以支持一个人经历风雨。自古以来有建树的人，都离不开一个“苦”字。值得你做的每件事，实际上都相当难做，都得花大力气!同学们，路是踏出来的，历史是书写出来的。一个伟大的行动和思想,都有一个微不足道的开始。要想成功必须从小事做起，从自我做起。当一个人一心一意做好事情，坚持到底的时候，当一个人坚持做真实的自己，做最好的自己的时候，他最后必然成功。成功无捷径!
fourth, learn to live your own life, and be a successful person. decide what goals you will pursue, and once you have, remain hopeful. stay clam and positive in the face of trouble. learn to tolerate others and be grateful. when pursuing a goal there is always a danger of setbacks and difficulties. dear students, every journey begins with a single step. every book begins with a single word. when someone stays true to their dream and does their best, success undoubtedly follows.
希望同学们要牢记，失败的理由有成千上万个,而成功的理由只有一个,那就是一定要成功!不要问世界对你有何期待，主要是你对自己有何期待。没有人能够确切地知道未来，然而，我相信，你们能够尽施才华，尽展能力去迎接未来!让我们一起创造与共享吧!祝福你们——我亲爱的同学们!
dear students, there are thousands of reasons to fail, and only one to succeed. do not ask yourself “what does the world expect of me?”. what truly matters is your own personal expectation. i am convinced you can all reach your utmost potential. you all have a bight future ahead of you. huawai looks forward to sharing your future successes. i wish you all a bright future.
谢谢大家!
thank you.
