at Babson College celebrate its hundredth anniversary.

慶祝巴布森學院成立一百週年。

And may I be among the first to congratulate this very special class of 2019.

請允許我首先向這個非常特別的2019屆畢業班表示祝賀。

So let me get right to the point.

那麼，讓我們直奔主題吧。

I know that some of you may be sitting there stressed out about where you will work after graduation.

我知道你們中有些人可能正為畢業後去哪裡工作而感到焦慮。

You may be wondering what company will offer your job.

你們可能在想哪家公司會提供工作崗位給你們。

Well let me take the worry off the table for you right now and offer each and every one of you a job at Toyota!

好吧，讓我現在就打消你們的顧慮，給在座的每一位提供一份豐田的工作！

I haven't actually cleared清除 that with my HR department yet but I'm sure we will be ok.

我其實還沒跟人力資源部門確認過，但我相信我們會沒事的。

So now that the employment issue has been solved, let's talk about more important things.

既然就業問題已經解決，我們來談談更重要的事情。

Like how you plan to celebrate this momentous重大的 occasion.

比如你們打算如何慶祝這個值得紀念的時刻。

I mean how wild野生的 is tonight's party going to get?

我是說，今晚的派對會有多瘋狂？

And, more importantly, can I come?

而且，更重要的是，我能參加嗎？

But I can stay out too late because tomorrow is a finale大結局 of Game of Thrones.

但我可以玩到很晚，因為明天是《權力的遊戲》的大結局。

I have to tell you.

我得告訴你們一件事。

When I was at Babson, I had no social life.

我在巴布森讀書時，沒有任何社交生活。

For me taking classes in English was a real challenge質疑.

對我來說，用英語學習課程是一個真正的挑戰。

It took all of my focus集中 and free time.

它佔用了我的全部注意力和空閒時間。

I never went to parties.

我從不去參加派對。

I never went to hockey games.

也從不去看冰球比賽。

I just went from my dorm, to class, to the library, to my dorm, to class, to the library.

我只是從宿舍到教室，再到圖書館，然後回宿舍，再去教室，再去圖書館，週而復始。

So when I attended Babson I was, in a word, boring.

所以當我在巴布森就讀時，用一個詞來形容，我很無趣。

But once I graduated, I went to work in New York where I immediately made up for lost time and became the king of the night.

但畢業後，我去了紐約工作，立刻開始彌補失去的時光，成了夜生活的王者。

Now I'm not suggesting you do the same.

當然，我不是建議你們也這樣做。

I can tell just by looking at you that none of you are boring.

光看你們的樣子我就知道，你們中沒有一個是無趣的。

I'm sure you have enjoyed a very active social life while you were here.

我相信你在這裡期間一定享受了非常活躍的社交生活。

But since I'm here to offer you words of advice, let the first be this: don't be boring乏味的.

但既然我來這裡是給你們一些建議，那第一條就是：別無趣。

Have fun.

玩得開心點。

Really figure out what makes you happy in life.

真正弄清楚什麼能讓你在生活中感到快樂。

What brings you joy.

是什麼帶給你快樂。
