在学院中澳班毕业典礼上的讲话(中英文对照)

最基层做起，从零开始，从小事做起，虚心向他人请教，真诚向实践请教，在困难中修身，踏实做事，诚实为人，立足本职，追求卓越。通过自身努力，不断地完善自我，甘于奉献，勇于奋进，以豁达的心态直面人生的高潮与低谷，充满信心地面对未来。
I hope you could put yourself in the proper position, working from the grass roots, starting from the little things right under your noses, learning from others with humble reverence and studying in the practice with faithfulness. Learn to cultivate yourself in difficulties, to be earnest and honest, pursuing excellence in your job, perfecting yourself, dedicating to your work, striving for your future, facing the high and low tide in life optimistically and faithfully.
第二， 希望同学们志存高远，终身学习。
What’s more, I hope you could stand high and aim far, and learn for the whole life.
庄子曰：“吾生也有涯，而知也无涯”。毕业不是学习的终结，而应该是新的学习阶段的开始。
As Zhuang Tse, the ancient philosopher said “life is limited, but study is limitless.” Graduation should not be the end of study, but a beginning for a new stage.
无论是走向工作第一线，还是继续深造，在社会的大课堂中，你们将会遇到更为艰难的社会考试，将会面对更为深涩的生活考验。
Some of you may choose to find a job, and some of you may further your study, but no matter what choice you’ve made, you’re facing an even tougher test of life and society.
我衷心地希望你们树立远大的理想和抱负，长存永不言退的锐气和积极进取的朝气，成就自己的理想和事业。
I sincerely hope that you’ll aim high and to be ambitious and positive, to be a person who is never give up to achieve your career goals and ideals.
大学的学习只是为你们打下未来发展的知识基础，你们还需要不断学习去适应社会的进步和科学技术的发展，实现理论与实践的结合，实现知识结构的提升，因而要树立终身学习的思想，适应知识日新月异的趋势，只有做到终身学习、终身提高、终生进取，方可成就终生。
The study in college just laid a foundation of knowledge for your development, yet you still need to continuous your study in order to adapt to the improvement of the society and the development of Science and Technology, to integrate theories with practice, to optimize the structure of knowledge, therefore, you should foster the thought of life-long study, adapt to the tendency of updating knowledge with each passing day. You’ll achieve success for life only when you study for life, improve for life and making progress for life.

第三， 希望同学们诚实守信，开拓进取。
Thirdly, I hope you can be honest and keeping promise, forging ahead to make progress.
孔子有言：“人而无信，不知其可也。”
Confucius said that “I do not know how a man without truthfulness is to get on.”
近年来，社会上频频发生诚信危机事件，这些事件究其本质，都是丧失了诚信为人的基本准则。对于即将走上工作岗位的同学们来说，诚信是立业之本、成功之道。
In recent years, credit crisis happens quite often which deviate from the norm. For you, who is about to step into a working position, honest is the foundation to start a career and to be successful.
所以，希望你们在未来的人生道路上，自觉地站在时代的前列，永远保持诚信做人的准则；保持探求新知、追求真理的动力；保持勇挑重担、敢为人先的勇气，敢于在最困难、最艰苦的地方大显身手，用自己的聪明才智为社会，为国家做出贡献。
So, I hope you’ll remain in the forefront of the times,
