Thank you, President Cowan, Mrs. President Cowen; distinguished guests, undistinguished guests - you know who you are, honored faculty and creepy Spanish teacher.
谢谢，谢谢考恩校长，和有头有脸的来宾们，呃，有头有脸的来宾，你知道你是谁，不用介绍了（众人笑），诚心感谢大家……以及讨厌的西班牙语老师（众人大笑）
And thank you to all the graduating class of 2009, I realize most of you are hungover and have splitting headaches and haven't slept since Fat Tuesday, but you can't graduate 'til I finish, so listen up.
plea try again later什么意思感谢所有2009届的毕业生，我知道你们绝大多数人还因为宿醉头痛欲裂，狂欢到今天都还没睡，但是没听完我的演讲不能毕业，所以都听好了！（学生们欢呼）
chatWhen I was asked to make the commencement speech, I immediately said yes. Then I went to look up what commencement meant. Which would have been easy if I had a dictionary, but most of the books in our hou are Portia's, and they're all written in Australian. So I had to break the word down mylf, to find out the meaning.
当我被问是否来参加毕业典礼演讲的时候，我立刻就回答了：yes！……然后我才去查“毕业典礼”是什么意思（众人笑）。如果我有字典的话就轻松多了，但我家的书大多是portia的（leisuretimeellen的妻子，澳大利亚人）而且都是澳洲文（众人笑），所以……我得自己摸索，去找出这个词的意思。
Commencement: common, and cement. Common cement. You commonly e cement on sidewalks. Sidewalks have cracks, and if you step on a crack, you break your mother's back. So there's that. But I'm honored that you've asked me here to speak at your common cement.
“commencement毕业典礼”：commen查分网站常见的＋cementadobe是什么水泥，常见的水泥（众人大笑）你常常见到水泥，在人行道上，人行道有裂缝，你要是踩到裂缝，就会撞伤你妈妈的背（大家笑），所以大概意思就是这样了（笑声）
I thought that you had to be a famous alumnus - alumini - aluminum - alumis - you had to graduate from this school. And I didn't go to college here, and I don't know if President Cowan knows, I didn't go to any college at all. Any college. And I'm not saying you waste
d your time, or money, but look at me, I"m a huge celebrity.
但我很荣幸被邀请来做你们的“常见的水泥”的演讲。我以为非得是又有名，又是你们学校的校友才能来……我没有在这里念过大学，我不知校长先生是否知道，我完全没上过大学…任何一间大学！我倒不是在说你们在浪费时间和金钱，不过看看我，我是个超级成功的大名人唉！（大家爆笑）
Although I did graduate from the school of hard knocks, our mascot was the knockers. I spent a lot of time here growing up. My mom worked at (? 估计是某家商店的名字) and I would go there every time I needed to steal something out of her pur. But why am I here today? Clearly not to steal, you're too far away and I'd never get away with it.
事实上我在这里度过许多成长的岁月，我妈妈在这里工作时，我常来找她……每当我要偷她钱包里的钱时（大家笑）。但我今天在这里的原因，显然不是要偷你们的钱……
I'm here becau of you. Becau I can't think of a more tenacious, more courageous graduating class. I mean, look at you all, wearing your robes. Usually when you're wearin
g a robe at 10 in the morning, it means you've given up. I'm here becau I love New Orleans. I was born and raid here, I spent my formative years here, and like you, while I was living here I only did laundry six times.
2013年英语四级作文美国大选第二场辩论直播我在这里是因为你们，因为没有比你们更优秀更勇敢的毕业生了。看看你们每一个人，身穿你们的袍子（学士袍），通常我们说在早上10点还穿着袍子（睡袍）代表你放弃人生了（大家大笑）。我在这里，因为我爱纽奥良，我在这里出生成长，在此度过少年时光，正如你们一样，当我住这里时，我只洗过6次衣服（众人笑）。
together是什么意思When I finished school, I was completely lost. And by school, I mean middle school, but I went ahead and finished high school anyway. And I - I really, I had no ambition, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I did everything from - I shucked oysters, I was a hostess, I was a bartender, I was a waitress, I painted hous, I sold vaccuum cleaners, I had no idea. And I thought I'd just finally ttle in some job, and I would make enough money to pay my rent, maybe have basic cable, maybe not, I didn't really have a plan, my point is that, by the time I was your age, I really thought I knew who I was, but I had no idea. Like
电影i am samfor example, when I was your age, I was dating men. So what I'm saying is, when you're older, most of you will be gay. Anyone writing this stuff down? Parents?
