Every era has its defining struggle and the fate of Africa is one of ours. It's not the only one, but in the history books it's easily going to make the top five--what we did or what we did not do. It's a proving ground, as I said earlier, for the idea of equality. But whether it's this or something else, I hope you'll pick a fight and get in it. Get your boots dirty. Get rough. Steel your courge with a final drink there at Smoky Joe's, one last primal scream and go.
每一个时代都有其特定的斗争使命，而我们的一个使命就是改变非洲的命运。这不是我们的使命，但无论是对我们已经解决的或尚未解决的困难来说，这都会很容易被历史列为五大挑战之一。正如我之前说过的，非洲是平等理念的试验场。不管是什么原因，我都希望你们掀起这场斗争并为之奋斗。去感受苦难，去磨练你们的意志，在斯莫基乔酒吧再饮上最后一杯，大喊一声，然后踏上征程，去锤炼你们的意志吧。
Sing the melody line you hear in your own head. Remember, you don't owe anybody any explanations. You don't owe your parents any explanations. You don't owe your professors any explanations. You know, I used to think that the future was solid, or fixed, or something you inherited like an old building that you move into when the previous generation moves out or gets chased out. But it's not. The future is not fixed. It's fluid. You can build your own buildings, or hut or condo, whatever. This is the metaphor part of the speech by the way.
唱出你心中最美的乐曲!记住，你无须向任何人解释，你无须向父母做出解释，你也无须向你的教授做出任何解释。我曾经认为未来是注定的，一成不变的，就像继承一座老房子，上一代搬出去或被逐出去，你们就可以搬进去。但事实并非如此。未来并非一成不变，而是可以改变的。你们可以建造自己的大楼或小棚子或公寓。顺便说一下，这只是今天致辞中的暗喻。
But my point is that the world is more malleable than you think and it's waiting for you to hammer it into shape. Now if I were a folksinger I'd immediately launch into "If I Had a Hammer" right now, get you all singing and swaying. But as I say I come from punk rock, so I'd rather have the bloody hammer right here in my fist. That's what this degree of yours is, a blunt instrument. So go forth and build something with it. And remember what John Adams said about Ben Franklin, "He does not hestitate at our boldest measures but rather seems to think us too irresolute."
但我要说的是，世界比你们想象的更具可塑性，它正等待着你们把它塑造成形。现在，如果我是一名民间歌手，我就会立即开始唱《假如我有一把铁锤》，带领你们一起唱，一起跳。但如我所言，我是朋克乐队的一名歌手，我宁愿手中握着一把带血的铁锤。你们的学位不过算是一把不算锋利的武器，所以，向前冲吧!用它去铸造未来!记住约翰·亚当对本·富兰克林的评价：“对于我们最勇敢的行动，他毫不犹豫地响应，而且似乎认为我们过于优柔寡断了。”
Well this is the time for bold measures. And this is the country. And you are the generation. Thank you. Thank you very much.
现在是大胆去行动的时候了，就在这个国家，就是你们这一代，大胆地去行动吧!谢谢大家!非常感谢。
Life，there are three stages — youth，middle age and old age，which is the most precious youth，this period any move will affect the later life，so to speak，adolescence is the foundation of life，the success of future generations is built on this foundation. Have such a book，it says the adolescent age is 13 to 19 year old boy. Carefully thought，(you certainly refers to the students. Are standing on the starting point of a person.
Also said that the book is adolescence has a warm，vigorous can make their own youth，can to some details，sad cry，this is our，happy and do not break composed，impulse and do not break a shrine. Starting on，write a diary，when I grow up one day，one of an adult calm state of mind to see it again，maybe you will be moved to cry，may laugh along while，may do a lot of action，because this is we have youth，beautiful like a dream，happy，like fairy，simple like a leaf，in social this big tree researched under his shade，hot outside has nothing to do with us，we just separated out my own piece of the woods，radiation with his cool and refreshing，but we will feel sorry，because we miss too many opportunities，also failed too much，that is our，happy，may not understand to cherish，simple us. If gave up during this period，the future will be dim light，in the mountains there are so many children to read，as long as some pens，a book and a house can have a class，has no other desire，if we are with them in class，I dare not say we are the children in the city how much stronger than they，perhaps we might as well be "wild child" of these in our eyes，because only a person lost will be more know to cherish，coloured drawing or pattern is more seriously in the face of everything.
For us，after the third day of the examination is a barrier，is very important for us is very serious thing，can take an examination of to a good high school?Can have a good high school life?This is now all doubt there are many people around us，but a loser，is can't afford to defeat the loser，perhaps is a failure，let their cold hearts，they can't make a loss. Maybe they had tried，regret，but too late，discarded after don't come back，actually everybody's strength is similar，just lack of effort and confidence，believe your own power，lost nothing，but can't afford to lose momentum，even if the failure of the end let you stand up，not lying to life，there is at least a fighting，later remembered wouldn't be so sorry，so timid，do not regret it，is belongs to our youth，because when let our master，come on，perhaps，victory come from

人生，有3个阶段—青春，中年，老年，而这些当中最珍贵的就是青春，这一时期的任何举动都会影响后期的生活，可以说，青春期是人生的基础，后世的成功是建立在这个基础上的.有这样一本书，上面说青春期的年龄层是13—19岁的少年.细细一想，大家(当然指同学啦.)都是站在起点的人了.
那本书还说，人是青春期有一股热情，可以让自己的青春变的轰轰烈烈，可以为了一些细节，感伤的哭，这就是我们，快乐而不失沉稳，冲动而不失感怀.从先在起，写一本日记，长大后的某一天，一一个大人的平静心态去看一遍，也许你会感动得哭出来，也许会大笑半天，也许会做很多动作，因为这是我们曾经的青春，美好的像梦一样，快乐像仙人一样，朴实得像一树叶，在社会这片大树下辟出自己的树阴，外面的炎热与我们无关，我们只隔出自己的那片绿阴，放射着自己清凉，但我们会惋惜，因为我们放过了太多机遇，也失败了太多，这，就是我们，幸福的，不得懂珍惜的，淳朴的我们.在这个时期如果放弃了努力，那么前途会渺茫无光，在山区有那么多的孩子渴望读书，只要一本书一些笔，还有一间可以上课的房子，别无他求，如果我们和他们一起上课，我不敢说我们这些城里的小孩比他们强多少，也许我们还不如这些我们眼中的“野孩子”强，因为只有失去过的人才会更加懂得珍惜，彩绘更加认真地面对每件事.
对于我们来说，初三后的中考就是一道坎，一件对于我们很重要很严肃的事情，能考到好高中吗?能有一个美好的高中生活吗?这是现在所有人的疑问我们周围有许多人，中却的说是失败者，是败不起的失败者，也许是一次的失败，让他们寒了心，造就了一败不起的他们.也许他们曾经努力过，懊悔过，但来不及了，丢弃了就追不回来，其实每个人的实力都是相似的，只是缺了努力和信心，相信自己的力量，失败了没什么，但不能失去锐气，就算结局的失败让你站不起来，也不至于躺着输给生活，至少还有一次拼搏，以后再想起就不会这么遗憾，这么窝囊，不要留下遗憾，折实属于我们的青春，因当让我们自己主宰，加油吧，也许，胜利由此而来.
Everyone has their own dreams，I am no exception. This is my dream for five years. I grew up love swimming，correct posture，swim fast，heard a lot of praise，some said to I taught them to swim!From then on，the dream was born，so I keep practice every day......
My effort is to one day be able to not only when athletes，in the crowd watching right now I get a medal of that a moment，but also for the motherland proud!I'm from grade one to grade five dream still has not changed. I still love swimming，fierce war still admire the sports meeting of the athletes;Still admire the moment they get prize excited and happy. I hope one day I can and all as they walked onto the stage，looking forward to fierce applause，I am looking forward to. These，for the past five years，there is no change.
I love swimming，I once thought："the power of a dream is so large，can pay all costs for dreams，sometimes I am not afraid of hard work，because I've heard a word" I want to do must do our best to finish it，"this is my motto in life." I'm looking forward to the podium on the excitement and joy of a moment，so I will do my best efforts，on their own strength，to complete my dream，this is me. I look forward to the return of my success.
In order to dream，come rain or shine，I still hold this dream，will not change forever......
每个人都会有自己的梦想，我也不例外.这是我坚守了五年的梦想了.我从小爱游泳，姿势正确，游得快，听过不少赞言，还有人说要我教她们游泳呢!从此这个梦诞生了，于是我坚持每天练习……
我努力不仅是为了有一天能当上运动员，在众人的眼下观看着我领取奖牌的那一刻，而且也是为了给祖国争光!我从一年级到五年级的梦想依然没有改变.我依然热爱游泳，依然仰慕着运动会上激烈战争的运动员们;依然仰慕她们拿奖的那一刻的激动与快乐.我盼望我有一天能和她们一样走上舞台、盼望众人激烈的掌声，我盼望着……这些、五年来，依然没有改变.
我爱游泳，我曾想过：“梦想的力量是如此的巨大，有时可以为梦想付出一切代价，我不怕辛苦，因为我听过一句话“自己想要做到的事就一定要尽自己的最大的努力去完成它”这就是我人生的格言.”我期待着站上领奖台上的那一刻的激动与快乐，因此我要尽自己最大的努力、靠自己的实力，去完成我的梦想，这就是我.我期待着我成功的到来.
为了梦想，风雨无阻，我依然坚守这个梦想，不会改变，直到永远……

I enter tile university after years of hard study and preparation. But life in the university is not as satisfactory as what I had expected. I become lazy and don't want to study.I become silcent. I become puzzled. I don't know what I can do in the future. Then I become unhappy.
Four years in the university is only a short period when compared my whole lifetime. Now it has passed a half. In this year, many people ,such as my parents,my friends, ask me what I want to do and tell me to map out a plan for my life. I don't want to follow their suggestion, and I want to go my style. So I think carefully. I have been a young volunteer(志愿者) for five years.It's very happy and significant. Then I have a dream.I want to join the University Student Volunteers Go West Programe. I think I can be a teacher in the west.I want to try my best to help them and help me. I want to see the world cearly. Now I can't reach its demand and it's very diffcult,but I will work hard in the next two years. There is an old saying"where there is a will,there is a way.(有志者事竟成)"I think my dream can come ture.Now in the university I mature,and in the university I prepare for the real world.
At last,I want to say to everybody"Hlod fast to your dreams,no matter how big or small they are.The path to dreams may not be smooth and wide,even some sacrifices are needed.But hold on to the end,you can find there is no geater happiness than making your dream come ture."

我进入瓦大学经过多年的艰苦学习和准备。但大学的生活并不像我所期望的那样令人满意。我变得懒惰，不想学习。我成为silcent。我变得困惑。我不知道我将来能做什么。然后我变得不快乐。
四年在大学只是一个短暂的时间相比，我的一生。现在已经过去了一半。在这一年里，许多人，如我的父母，我的朋友，问我想做什么，并告诉我制定一个计划，我的生活。我不想按照他们的建议，我想去我的风格。所以我仔细地思考。我是一个年轻的志愿者(志愿者)五年。很高兴和意义。然后我有一个梦想，我想加入大学生志愿者去西部计划。我想我可以成为一名在西方的老师，我想尽力帮助他们，帮助我。我想清楚地看世界。现在我不能达到其要求，这是非常困难的，但我会在接下来的两年的努力。俗话说：“凡有意愿，有办法。(有志者事竟成)“我想我的梦想可以成真。现在在大学我成熟了，在大学我准备真实的世界。
最后，我想对大家说“紧紧地抓住你的梦想，不管他们多么大或小。梦想的道路不可能一帆风顺和广泛，甚至一些牺牲是必要的，但到最后，你会发现没有大的幸福比让你的梦想成真。
