马里兰大学中国留学生毕业演讲引争议
Good afternoon ,faculty students parents and friends.I am truly honored and grateful to speak at the commencement for the University of Maryland, Cla of 2017.People often ask me: Why did you come to the University of Maryland? I always answer: Fresh air.Five years ago, as I step off the plane from China, and left the terminal at Dallas Airport.I was ready to put on one of my five face masks, but when I took my first breath of American air.I put my mask away.The air was so sweet and fresh, and oddly luxurious.(显得格外的奢侈)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 my glaes, no more difficult breathing, no more suppreion.Every breath was a delight.As I stand here today, I cannot help, but recall that feeling of freedom.At the University of Maryland, I aume 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 cla about the Declaration of Independence, but these words had no meaning to me— Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happine.I was merely memorizing the words to get good grades.These words sounded so strange, so abstract and so foreign to me, until I came to University of Maryland.I have leaned the right to freely expre oneself is sacred in American.Each day in Maryland, I was encouraged to expre my opinions on controversial iues.I could challenge a statement made by my instructor.I could even rate my profeors online.But nothing prepared me for the culture shock I experienced when I watched a university production of the play— Twilight: Los Angeles.《暮光:洛杉矶》
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 discued openly.The play was my first taste of political storytelling, one that makes the audience think critically.那个话剧是我第一次接触到政治叙述故事,一个可以让观众批判性思考的政治叙述故事。
I have always had a burning desire to tell these kinds of stories, but I was convinced that only authorities on the narrative, only authorities could define the truth.我一直有强烈的愿望想讲这类故事,但我曾深信只有权威部门才能讲述这些故事,只有权威部门才能定义真相。
However, the opportunity to immerse myself in the diverse community at the University of Maryland exposed me to various, many different perspectives on truth.I soon realized that here I have the opportunity to speak freely.My voice matters.Your voice matters.Our voices matter.Civil engagement is not a task just for politicians.I have witneed this when I saw my fellow students marching in Washington DC, voting in the presidential election and raising money for support various causes.公民参与不仅仅是政治家的任务。我的同学们走上华盛顿街头,在总统选举中投票,为多种不同的事业募集资金。我见证了这一切。
I have seen that everyone has a right to participate and advocate for change.我见识到每一个人都有权利参与并为变革发声。
I used to believe that one individual’s participation could not make a difference, but here we are, United Terps.我曾经认为一个人的力量杯水车薪。但是我们团结在这里,马里兰大学的人。
Together, we can push our society to be more just open and peaceful.Cla of 2017, we are graduating from a university that embraces a liberal arts education that nurtures us to think critically, and also to care and feel for humanity.2017届的同学们,我们正从一个通过人文教育鼓励我们批判性思考又不忘感受人性的大学毕业。
We are equipped with the knowledge of various disciplines and we are ready to face to the challenges of our society.Some of us may go to graduate school, some us may step into profeions and some of us may begin a journey of exploration.But no matter what we do, remember, democracy and free speech should not be taken for granted.Democracy and freedom are the fresh air that is worth fighting for.Freedom is oxygen.Freedom is paion.Freedom is love.And as a French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre once said: freedom is a choice, our future is dependent on the choices we make today and tomorrow.We are all playwrights of the next chapters of our lives.Together, we right the human history.My friends, enjoy the fresh air and never let it go.Thank you.
