    (因为种种,譬如原来的编-辑范范离职,这个百万字的小说也是一波三折了。最近一方面在写新书,一方面也在不屈不挠的继续写这个书后面的故事,猪脚会去你懂得的民-国再起风云,和许多大师思想碰撞。而不是如读者所说的太监了。)

    最近比较热闹的就是一位留学生的毕业演讲,当然,还是看到全文或许才会有自我的判断吧?但无论如何,留学低龄化已经是个不争的事实,豪门富贵的子女大抵在海外求学也是不争的事实。

    美国马里兰大学的一位华人毕业生,被选为学生代表上台演讲,某些媒体如《北美留学生日报》,给她贴标签说涉嫌辱华。这位同学在演讲中赞美了美国的言论自由,提到了中国的雾霾。

    上个世纪80年代,中国民间曾经批判走出国门的开放者,说他们认为外国的月亮比中国圆。看今天的讨论,在观念和修辞上,并没有什么突破。

    华人留美的历史可以追溯到晚清,但是大陆华人作毕业生代表上台演讲的事情还比较罕见。今天,越来越多的中国年轻人做演讲,无论在国内还是国外,都是值得鼓励的事情。在这里,我们提供这位马里兰大学毕业生演讲翻译全文及原文,辱华与否,各位可以做出自己的判断。

    英文演讲原文:

    Good afternoon faculty students parents and friends.

    I am truly honored and grateful to speak at the cot for the University of ss of 2017.

    People often ask me: Why did you come to the University of nd?

    I always answer: Fresh air.

    Five years ago, as I step off the plane froa, and left the ters Airport. I was ready to put on one of bsp;masks, but when I took my first breath of Absp;air. I put my mask away.

    The air was so sweet and fresh, and oddly luxurious.

    I was surprised by this. I grew up in a city in China, where I had to wear a face mask every time I went outside, otherwise, I might get sick.

    However, the moment I inhaled and exhaled outside the airport.

    I felt free.

    No more fog on sses, no more difficult breathing, no more suppression.

    Every breath was a delight. As I stand here today, I cannot help, but recall that feeling of freedom.

    At the University of nd, I would soon feel another kind of fresh air for which I will be forever grateful — the fresh air of free speech.

    Before I came to United States, I learned in history class about the Declaration of Independence, but these words had no meaning to me— Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.

    I was merely memorizing the words to get good grades.

    These words sounded so strange, so abstract and so foreign to me, until I cay of nd.

    I have leaned the right to freely express oneself is sacred in A.

    Each day in nd, I was encouraged to express my opinions on controversial issues.

    I could challenge a statement made by my instructor. I could even rate my professors online.

    But nothing prepared me for the culture shock I experienced when I watched a university production of the play— Twilight: Los Angeles.

    Twilight is a play by Anna Deavere Smith about the 1992 Los Angeles Riots

    The riots followed acquittal of four Los Angeles police officers in the videotaped arrest and beating of Rodney King.

    For six days, the city was in chaos as citizens took to the streets.

    In Twilight, the student actors were openly talking about racism, sexism and politics.

    I was shocked, I never saw such topic could be discussed openly.

    The play was my first taste of political storytelling, one that makes the audience think critically.

    I have always had a burning desire to tell these kinds of stories, but I was convinced that only authorities own the narrative, only authorities could define the truth.

    However, the opportunity to immerse myself in the diverse community at the University of nd exposed me to various, many different perspectives on truth.

    I soon realized that here I have the opportunity to speak freely.

    bsp;matters.

    Your voice matters.

    Our voices matter.

    Civil engagement is not a task just for politicians. I have witnessed this when I saw my fellow students g in Washington DC, voting in the presidential election and raising money for support various causes.

    I have seen that everyone has a right to participate and advocate for change.

    I used to believe that one individual participation could not make a difference, but here we are, United Terps.

    Together, we can push our society to be more just open and peaceful.

    Class of 2017, we are graduating froy that ebsp;a liberal arts education that nurtures us to think critically, and also to care and feel for humanity.

    We are equipped with the knowledge of various disciplines and we are ready to ... -->>
