Taylor Swift's NYU Commencement Speech (2022)

Hi, I'm Taylor.

大家好，我是泰勒。

Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard.

上次我身處如此規模的體育場時，我正穿著高跟鞋跳舞，身披亮片緊身衣。

This outfit is much more comfortable.

這套服裝要舒適得多。

I would like to say a huge thank you to NYU's Chair of the Board of Trustees, Bill Berkley, and all the trustees and members of the board.

我想向紐約大學校董會主席比爾·伯克利以及所有校董和董事會成員致以最誠摯的謝意。

NYU's President Andrew Hamilton, Provost Katherine Fleming, and the faculty and alumni here today, who have made this day possible.

感謝紐約大學校長安德魯·漢密爾頓、教務長凱瑟琳·弗萊明，以及在座的教職員工和校友，是你們讓今天成為可能。

I feel so proud to share this day with my fellow honorees Susan Hockfield and Félix Matos Rodríguez, who humble me with the ways they improve our world with their work.

能與我的同獲殊榮者蘇珊·霍克菲爾德和費利克斯·馬託斯·羅德里格斯分享這一天，我感到無比自豪，他們的工作改善了我們世界的方式讓我深感謙卑。

As for me, I'm 90% sure the main reason I'm here is because I have a song called "22."

至於我，我有九成把握我來這裡的主要原因是因為我有一首叫《22》的歌。

And let me just say, I am elated to be here with you today, as we celebrate and graduate New York University's Class of 2022.

請允許我說，能和大家一起慶祝並見證紐約大學2022屆畢業生的畢業時刻，我欣喜若狂。

Not a single one of us here today has done it alone.

今天在座的我們中，沒有一個人是獨自取得成功的。

We are each a patchwork quilt of those who have loved us, those who have believed in our futures,

我們每個人都是由那些愛過我們、相信我們未來的人拼湊而成的百衲衣。
