各位听众你们好,这里是新联学院campus radio service,我是你们的主播Olivia。一年又一年,毕业季,每年的夏天都会出现这个关键的字眼。每年的夏天也都是伤感的季节,因为又有一批大学生要离开校园,步入社会!
Graduation likes a big full stop, from then on, we bid farewell to a period of pure youth, a period of youth frivolous years, a time full of fantasy..
毕业,就像一个大大的句号,从此,我们告别了一段纯真的青春,一段年少轻狂的岁月,一个充满幻想的时代……
There is a good reason they call these ceremonies "commencement exercises." Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference.
人们把毕业典礼称为“commencement exercises”的原因是:毕业不是旅程的终结,而是开始。在现实生活中,你每天都在毕业。毕业会延续到你生命的最后一天。如果你懂得这点,你就会变得不同。
今天我想分享一段英文歌词,献给新联学院所有毕业的学长学姐们!
Graduation
By Vitamin C.
So we talked all night about the rest of our lives
我们曾整夜讨论以后的生活
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
不知25岁时我们会在哪里
I keep thinking times will never change.
我坚持认为时代不会更替
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
坚持认为事物会亘古不变
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
但当今年离开,我们就不再回来
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
不会再呆在一起,因为我们会过着不同的生活
And if you got something that you need to say
如果你有需要讲的话
You’d better say it right now cause you don't have another day
最好现在就说吧,因为你不可能再多有一天
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
因为我们在往前走,不能放慢脚步
These memories are playing like a film without sound
记忆就像在播放无声电影
And I keep thinking of that night in June
我经常想起六月的那个夜晚
I didn't know much of love but it came too soon
我对爱还不太了解
And there was me and you
但它又来得太快
And then we got real cool
我和你在一起
Stay at home talking on the telephone
呆在家里和我在电话里聊天
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
我们兴奋,也很害怕
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair

And this is how it feels...
这就是全部的感受
So if we get the big jobs

And we make the big money
赚很多钱
When we look back now
当我们回顾今天
Will our jokes still be funny?
是否我们的玩笑仍然有趣?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?

Still be trying to break every single rule

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
是否我们会考虑未来就像我们考虑现在?
Can we survive it out there?
是否我们在社会上能挺下来?
Can we make it somehow?
是否我们能获得某种成功?
I guess I thought that this would never end
我猜这永远都不会结束
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
但突然好像我们都已经长大成人
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
是否过去会像影子一样跟随我们?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
是否当我离开这个地方,这些记忆会褪色?
I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
我坚持,坚持认为这并不是再见
Keep on thinking it's our time to fly
坚持认为已到了展翅高飞的时候
As we go on, we remember
当生活继续,我们记得
All the time we had together
所有我们在一起的时光
And as our lives change, come whatever
当生活在改变,但无论发生什么
We will still be, friends forever
我们永远是朋友
