Good morning, profeors, guests and my dear fellow clamates, I feel truly privileged to be able to stand here as a speaker.STL is the most diverse school I have ever met during the past 25 years.I am not eligible to represent any of my clamates.They are so distinctive, excellent and impreive.I just hope you may share some of my feelings by graduation.
尊敬的教授们、各位来宾，亲爱的同学们，大家早上好。此时此刻站在这里，我深感荣幸。STL（国际法学院）是我所见过的最具多元性的地方，我一个人不足以代表我的同学们，因为他们每一个人都是那样的与众不同、杰出而优秀。我谨希望在毕业之际表达一些感触，或许能引起你的共鸣。
I still remember.Four years ago, at the orientation week, one clamate wrote down “School of Talented Lawyers” on the blackboard.To be honest, I thought that was a little arrogant at that time.But now, I am fully convinced that we deserve this title because we have the most talented profeors and students.And because this school itself is a talented idea.Thanks to this idea, we came together from all over the world.We are always together in the past four years, no matter good time or hard time.We share the same dream, support and encourage each other.So at our graduation, please allow me to give special thanks to Dean Lehman, President Hai, all the distinguishable profeors, administrative staffs and our parents who support us unconditionally which makes this moment even poible.
还记的四年前，入学第一周，有位同学在黑板上写下“School of Talented Lawyers”（“杰出律师的摇篮”）。老实说，那时我觉着这实在有些自大。但此刻我认为我们完全担得起这个头衔，因为我们有最睿智的教授和最聪颖的学生。因为这所学校本身就来自于一个杰出的构想。因为这个构想，我们从世界各地走到一起，我们在过去的四年中紧密团结，不论顺境抑或困境。我们拥有同样的梦想，一直相互扶持、互相鼓励。所以在我们毕业之际，请允许我向雷蒙院长、海校长、所有杰出的教授们、行政团队致以由衷的感谢，我们尤其要感谢各自的父母，正是由于他们毫无保留的支持，才有了我们此刻的相聚。
Four years ago, shortly after our arrival, or even before that, during the admiion interview, we were asked a question again and again.Why do you come to law school? Why do you choose STL? Can you recall your answers? Well, it takes me quite a long time to recollect the exact answers.That’s because those answers I provided at that time may be true but did not reflect one simple reasongo to graduate school.But thanks to the four years experience, I have no need to pursue another degree just because of having no idea about the future.We may come here knowing little about what we will become but we will leave knowing who we are and what we want.These are gifts from STL which will be treasured and remembered.
四年前初到此地，或者早在入学面试之时，我们就被不断地问着一个问题：为什么来法学院？为什么选择STL？你还记得当初的答案吗？我要回想好久才能大概记起当时自己说了什么。这是因为我曾给出的那些答案，或许都反映了我的一些想法，唯独遗漏了最简单最真实的一条——我来这里正如所有对未知迷茫的人所做的选择一样——继续读书。但是这四年的学习，让我不会再仅因为对未来的迷茫而躲在学校里。我们来时或许不知道自己想要什么，但是当我们离开，我们会知道自己是谁、要成为什么样的人。这些就是STL给予我们的最值得珍视与铭记的礼物。
Four years ago, we came here sharing the dream to be legal profeionals.Everyone was full of ambition when talking about our dreams.We talked about in such an exciting way like our future has already been written, like succe is around the corner waiting for us.We kept mentioning that we wanted to make a difference.We wanted to contribute to our country’s legal progre.We wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in our society.But later, those dreams were mentioned le and le.Preure of real life forces us to run as fast as poible.We keep running so obseively that we even have no time to stop, have a breath, think about our original dreams or adjust our direction.The last year is not easy for everyone.We have to face the examination of market.We met different chances, made occasional decisions and headed for different directions.Do we still adhere to our original dreams or even remember them? Do we still uphold justice and equality?
四年前我们来到这里，怀揣着成为法律人的梦想。我们每一个人谈论梦想时都充满热忱。我们是如此的信誓旦旦，似乎我们的未来早已被写就，似乎成功就静待在不远的转角。我们一直说我们要改变世界，我们要促进国家的法治进步，我们要帮助社会中的弱势群体。但慢慢地，这些梦想被提及的次数越来越少。生活的压力迫使我们不顾一切地往前赶，我们走得如此急切以致于都没有时间停下来，喘口气、想想那些最初的梦想、看看脚下的路究竟指向何方。最后一年对我们每一个人来说都很不容易。久处象牙塔的我们，最终不得不面对市场的挑拣。我们遇到不同的机遇、做出偶然的选择，并最终奔向迥异的远方。我们还在坚持最初的梦想吗？甚至还记得她们吗？我们还在坚持正义与平等吗？
We live in a society emphasizes wealth, power and fame.There is nothing wrong to chase them.But are they the destination? When we leave here, farewell each other, heading for different directions, will we remember those old days, the days shining because of glory of ideal, courage of youth? When we are trapped by dull life, exhausted with preures, focused too much on personal achievement, will we recall our original dreams, the dreams once connected us together and accompanied us in good days or hard days?
我们生活在一个渴求财富、权力与声望的社会。追逐这些当然没错，可它们是人生的意义所在吗？当我们离开这里，作别同伴，头也不回地奔向远方，我们还会记得那些逝去的时光吗？那些因为信仰的光芒、青春的勇气而闪耀的旧时光？当我们深陷枯燥平庸的生活、在压力的驱使下疲于奔命、沉迷于个人的小成就时，我们还会忆起最初的梦想吗？那曾经将我们紧紧联系在一起，无论顺境抑或逆境始终陪伴我们的梦想？
I believe these questions are not new to you.I believe you have already got clear answers because in the past four years, I know you, my dear fellow clamates, are people full of paion, ideal and justice.I know this because it is the STL culture to be compaionate, brave and just.It is the STL culture connected us together and will connect us forever.I know this because we are students from Peking University.A university gives us more chance and expects us to shoulder more responsibility.And I know that we won’t disappoint her.
我相信你们早已问过自己同样的问题，也相信你们已有了清楚的答案。我相信这些，因为在过去的四年中，我知道你们，我最亲爱的同学们，是充满热忱、信仰与正义的人。我相信这些，因为STL的理念就是富于同情、英勇无畏与坚持正义。是STL的理念曾让我们走到一起，这理念也会永远维系着我们。我相信这些，因为我们是北京大学的学生，这所大学给予了我们更多的机遇，也期待我们承担更多的责任。我相信我们会不负所托。
Four years ago is just like yesterday.We are now at the separation time ready to say goodbye.May be not really.I know I am not ready.I may be not ready forever, but time won’t care.This is the worst of times; this is the best of times.We have nothing before us, we have everything before us.No matter where you go, don’t forget our original dreams, and we will make an STL difference!
四年时光仿佛昨日。我们此时站在别离的关口，准备好了挥别同伴。或许并非如此，我知道自己还没准备好，或许永远也不会准备好，只是时间吝于等待。这是最坏的时代，这也是最好的时代。我们一无所有，我们却拥有一切。不论去向何方，只要别忘记我们最初的梦想，我们一定会在这个世界做出属于我们的改变！
