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

公民參與不僅僅是政治家的任務(wù)。我的同學(xué)們走上華盛頓街頭,，在總統(tǒng)選舉中投票,，為多種不同的事業(yè)募集資金。我見證了這一切,。

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

我見識到每一個人都有權(quán)利參與并為變革發(fā)聲。

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

我曾經(jīng)認(rèn)為一個人的力量杯水車薪,。但是我們團結(jié)在這里,。

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

Class 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屆的同學(xué)們,，我們正從一個通過人文教育鼓勵我們批判性思考又不忘感受人性的大學(xué)畢業(yè),。

We are equipped with the knowledge of various disciplines and we are ready to face to the challenges of our society。

我們擁有不同學(xué)科的知識,，我們做好準(zhǔn)備去面對社會的挑戰(zhàn)了,。

Some of us may go to graduate school， some us may step into professions and some of us may begin a journey of exploration,。

我們中的有些人可能會繼續(xù)讀研究生,，有的人可能參與工作，有的人可能開始一段探索的旅程,。

But no matter what we do,， remember， democracy and free speech should not be taken for granted,。

但不管我們做什么,，請記住，民主和自由言論來之不易,。

Democracy and freedom are the fresh air that is worth fighting for,。

民主和自由是值得為之奮斗的清新空氣。

Freedom is oxygen,。 Freedom is passion,。 Freedom is love。

自由是氧氣,，自由是激情,，自由是愛。

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,。

正如法國哲學(xué)家讓-保羅·薩特所說，自由是一種選擇,，我們的未來取決于我們今天和明天所做的決定,。

We are all playwrights of the next chapters of our lives。 Together,， we right the human history,。

我們是人生下個章節(jié)的作者,。讓我們一起，來書寫人類歷史,。

My friends,， enjoy the fresh air and never let it go。

我的朋友們,，享受這清新的空氣吧,，不要讓它消失。

Thank you,。

謝謝,。（來自觀察者網(wǎng)）
