沪江英语英文演讲稿 篇一：JK罗琳哈佛大学演讲 中英文对照　　J.K罗琳XX年哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲　　——《哈利.波特》作者J.K罗琳　　President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers,　　members of the faculty, proud parents, and, above all, graduates,　　福斯特主席，哈佛公司和监察委员会的各位成员，　　各位老师、家长、全体毕业生们：　　The first thing I would like to say is thank you. Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honor, but the weeks of fear and nausea I’ve endured at the thought of giving this commencement address have made me lose weight. A win-win situation! Now all I have to do is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and convince myself that I am at the world’s largest Gryffindors reunion.　　首先请允许我说一声谢谢。哈佛不仅给了我无上的荣誉，连日来为这个演讲经受的恐惧和紧张，更令我减肥成功。这真是一个双赢的局面。现在我要做的就是深呼吸几下，眯着眼睛看看前面的大红横幅，安慰自己正在世界上最大的格兰芬多（沪江小编：以防有人没看过《哈利波特》……格兰芬多是小哈利所在的魔法学院的名字）聚会上。　　Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility; or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation.

If all you remember in years to come is the gay wizard joke, Ive still come out ahead of Baroness Mary Warnock. Achievable goals - the first step to self-improvement.　　你们看，如果在若干年后你们还记得―快乐的魔法师‖这个笑话，那就证明我已经超越了Baroness Mary Warnock。建立可实现的目标——这是提高自我的第一步。　　Actually, I have wracked my mind and heart for what I ought to say to you today. I have asked myself what I wish I had known at my own graduation, and wh
