8. While you are not faced with stagflation(n.滯漲，通貨膨脹) exactly,your expectations of the job market have no doubt been flattened(v.（使）變平) if you entered Stanford，but that's not the case.若是你沒有真正的遭遇過通貨膨脹，毫無疑問，若是大家可以進入斯坦福大學，大家的就業前景就一片光明瞭，可是事實並不是如此。
9. But here you are, the Class of 2021, And times have changed.可是，如今大家是2021屆的畢業生，時代已經改變了。
10. I am scared of leaving the protective bubble of the place for places unknown,during uncertain Internet times... and I am afraid for squandering(v.浪費) the incredible gift of my college experience on pursuits that are't commensurate(adj.相稱的) with expections I... and others... had of me.I am scared of not doing it all,of making irrevocable mistakes.我懼怕離開大學這個保護傘，懼怕在不肯定的互聯網時代去未知的地方... 並且我也懼怕將我在大學所得到的驚人的才華浪費在與我和你們對個人指望不相稱的事情上，我懼怕無所事事，也懼怕犯下沒法挽回的錯誤。
11. If you are scared today,let me ask you this:What will you do with your fear?Will you let it become a motivator,or an inhibitor?若是今天你感受到了懼怕，那麼我來問你幾個問題：大家該如何面對大家成長過程當中的恐懼呢？是讓它變成大家前進的動力仍是成長的阻礙？
12. You are the only one who can answer that. But what I can offer as guidence, and reassuance, is a story - the story of one grad's process of stumbling and searching to find a place in the world, often in the face of her fears.只有大家才能作出回答，我所能作的就是經過一個故事給予你們一些引導和信心。這個故事是關於一位畢業生如何帶着恐懼，跌跌撞撞地在這個世界上尋求一席之地的。

15. Because every life is a Great Work, with all the richness of its gifts, and the wealth of its possibilities.由於每一個人的一輩子都是一部鉅著，包含了各類各樣的機遇與無限的潛能。
16. The world you pursue will never be the world you have now.你所追求的世界永遠不是你如今所擁有的世界。
17. For those of you choosing paths that are well-defined, paths that very neatly match other's expectations of you, my gut tells me that you probably among the most fearful today.對於大家當中那些已經選擇了明確路線的人，那些選擇的路線很是符合別人對你的指望，個人直接告訴我，大家多是今天最恐懼的人羣中的一員。
18. I am going,not because it is a lifelong dream, not because I imagined I could change the world, but because I thought it is expected of me. I thought I owed it to my family, especially my father. Not because he'd ever said so, but because I'd assumed it to be true.我之因此去，並非由於那是我一輩子的夢想，也不是由於我幻想本身可以改變世界，而是由於我認爲別人就是這麼指望個人。我以爲這是個人家人對個人指望，尤爲是個人父親。不是由於他曾對我要求過這些，而是由於我以爲應該是這樣的。
19. The French writer Camus once said, " To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others." 法國做家加繆曾經說過：「要想快樂，就不要太在乎別人的觀點。」
20. It's true that after I chose this road I never looked back,but I still didn't know where to look,either.The important thing is, I am now in control. The only expections I had to live up are my own.自從我選擇了這條路後我歷來沒有回頭看過，到如今我也不知道要朝那裏看。重要的是，我能掌控本身的事情了。我惟一不能辜負的就是我對本身得指望了。

29. I knew that I am unexpected choice for the position, and I knew that with this job would come a fair bit of scrutiny criticism.我知道對於這個職位，我並非最佳的人選，我也知道，隨之而來的將是來自四面八方的監督與批評。
