student speech delivered at the washington university engineering graduate student recognition ceremony15 may 1997lorrie faith cranorfaculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.
i am honored to address you tonight. on behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of washington university's school of engineering and applied science, i would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. i would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. i would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. and finally i would like to thank the washington university faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.as i think back on the seven-and-a-half years i spent at washington university, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous. tonight i would like to share with you some of the memories that i take with me as i leave washington university.i take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of lopata hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away from the women's restroom. the window was my office's best feature. were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. but instead i got a view of the roof of the physics building. i also had a view of one corner of the roof of urbauer hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. and i had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. it's amazing how fascinating these views became the longer i worked on my dissertation. but my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. from my fourth-floor vantage point i had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us. i take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while i was a graduate student. anne johnstone, the only female professor from whom i took a course in the engineering school, and bob durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. i remember them fondly.i take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses i took as an undergraduate. i remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that i would never be able to pass it. so i went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. and he told me not to give up, he told me i could succeed in his class. for reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. and after that my grades in the class slowly improved, and i ended the semester with an a on the final exam. i remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.
i take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when i arrived in st. louis 8 years ago. since moving to new jersey, i am sad to say, nobody has asked me where i went to high school.i take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. the idea was that groups of cs grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. but after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire cs grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches.i take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the association of graduate engineering students, known as ages. started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, ages soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.i take with me the memory of an engineering and policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students. i take with me memories of the 1992 u.s. presidential debate. eager to get involved in all the excitement i volunteered to help wherever needed. i remember spending several days in the makeshift debate hq giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. i remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. and i remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers and being the one who had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after i left.i take with me memories of university holidays which never seemed to apply to graduate students. i remember spending many a fall break and president's day holiday with my fellow grad students in all day meetings brought to us by the computer science department. i take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. i managed to escape taking any classes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. and what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams?i take with me the memory of the seven-minute rule, which always seemed to be an acceptable excuse for being ten minutes late for anything on campus, but which doesn't seem to apply anywhere else i go.i take with me the memory of friday afternoon acm happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. over the several years that i attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.i take with me memories of purple parking permits, the west campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in lopata hall, the greenway talk, division iii basketball, and trying to convince dean russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.finally, i would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. what would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of lake forest college by theodore seuss geisel, better known to the world as dr. seuss - here's how it goes:my uncle ordered popovers must spit out the air!"and . . .as you partake of the world's bill of fare,
that's darned good advice to follow.
do a lot of spitting out the hot air.
and be careful what you swallow.
thank you.第二篇：美国华盛顿大学英语硕士专业解析

thank you all. thank you all for coming.
we had a long night -- (laughter) -- and a great night. (cheers, applause.) the voters turned out in record numbers and delivered an historic victory. (cheers, applause.) earlier today, senator kerry called with his congratulations. we had a really good phone call. he was very gracious.
senator kerry waged a spirited campaign, and he and his supporters can be proud of their efforts. (applause.)
laura and i wish senator kerry and teresa and their whole family all our best wishes. america has spoken, and i'm humbled by the trust and the confidence of my fellow citizens. with that trust comes a duty to serve all americans, and i will do my best to fulfill that duty every day as your president. (cheers, applause.)
there are many people to thank, and my family comes first. (cheers, applause.) laura is the love of my life. (cheers, applause.) i'm glad you love her, too. (laughter.) i want to thank our daughters, who joined their dad for his last campaign. (c(更多好文章请关注)heers,

i'm grateful to the vice president and lynne and their daughters, who have worked so hard and been such a vital part of our team. (cheers, applause.)
the vice president serves america with wisdom and honor, and i'm proud to serve beside him. (cheers, applause.)
i want to thank my superb campaign team. i want to thank you all for your hard work. (cheers, applause.) i was impressed every day by how hard and how skillful our team was.

everything you did to make the calls and to put up the signs, to talk to your neighbors, and to get out the vote. (cheers, applause.)
and because you did the incredible work, we are celebrating today. (cheers, applause.) there's an old saying, "do not pray for tasks equal to your powers, pray for powers equal to your tasks." in four historic years, america has been given great tasks and faced them with strength and courage. our people have restored the vigor of this economy and shown resolve and patience in a new kind of war. our military has
brought justice to the enemy and honor to america. (cheers, applause.) our nation -- our nation has defended itself and served the freedom of all mankind. i'm proud to lead such an amazing country, and i am proud to lead it forward. (applause.)

with good allies at our side, we will fight this war on terror with every resource of our national power so our children can live in freedom and in peace. (cheers, applause.) reaching these goals will require the broad support of americans, so today i want to speak to every person who voted for my opponent. to make this nation stronger and
better, i will need your support and i will work to earn it. i will do all i can do to deserve your trust.
a new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation. we have one country, one constitution, and one future that binds us. and when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of america. (cheers, applause.)
let me close with a word to the people of the state of texas. (cheers, applause.) we have known each other the longest, and you started me on this journey. on the open plains of texas, i first learned the character of our country; sturdy and honest, and as hopeful as the break of day. i will always be grateful to the good people of my state. and whatever the road that lies ahead, that road will take me home.
a campaign has ended, and the united states of america goes forward with confidence and faith. i see a great day coming for our country, and i am eager for the work ahead. god bless you. and may god bless america. (cheers, applause.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
布什:
此次选民的投票率创下了历史新高，带来了历史性的胜利。今天早些时候，克里参议员打电话祝贺我竞选成功。我们在电话中谈得挺好，他非常亲切。克里参议员发起了猛烈的竞选攻势，他和他的支持者可以为此感到自豪。劳拉和我向克里、特里萨以及他们全家表示最衷心的祝愿。
美国做出了选择。对于同胞们的信任，我很感激。这种信任意味着我将承担为所有美国公民服务的义务。作为你们的总统，我每天都将竭尽全力。
我需要感谢许多人，首先是我的家人。劳拉是我一生的挚爱，我对你们也爱她感到高兴。我还要感谢在竞选后期加入竞选团的女儿，感谢兄弟姐妹们付出的努力，特别感谢严父慈母的支持。
我感谢副总统、（他的夫人）莱尼和他们的女儿。他们付出了努力，是竞选团的重要成员。副总统聪明睿智、正直高贵，我为跟他共事感到自豪。
我感谢优秀的竞选团，感谢你们所有人付出的努力。你们的勤奋和智慧每天都给我留下了深刻的印象。
我感谢全国上下成千上万名支持者，感谢你们在竞选集会上的拥抱、祈祷和亲切言语，感谢你们想方设法打出标语，呼吁邻居前去投票。
正是由于你们付出了惊人的努力，我们今天才能庆祝胜利。
俗话说，不要祈求能力所能胜任的任务，要祈求能胜任任务的能力。在四年历史性时期，美国被赋予了伟大的任务，并以实力和勇气面对这些任务。我国人民使经济活力复苏，并在新型战争中显示出决心和耐心。我军已经将敌人绳之以法，给美国带来了荣誉。我国保卫了自己，维护了全人类的自由。领导这样出色的国家，我感到自豪；带领这个国家前进，我感到自豪。
我们已经完成了艰难的任务，进入了充满希望的时期。我们将继续推动经济增长，改革落后的税法，为下一代加强社会保障。我们将尽量改善公立学校，维护在家庭和信仰方面的核心价值观。
我们将帮助伊拉克和阿富汗建立民主制度……，以便他们增强实力和维护自由。然后，我军官兵将带着他们获得的荣誉回国。在优秀盟国的支持下，我们将动用美国的一切力量打赢这场反恐战争，确保我们的孩子们的自由与和平。要实现这些目标，美国公民的广泛支持是必不可缺的。因此今天，我要对支持对手的所有人说，为了让美国变得更强大更美好，我需要你们的支持，我也将努力获得你们的支持，并将竭尽所能以担当得起你们的支持。
新一届任期使我有机会影响整个国家。正是同一个国家、同一部宪法和同一个未来把我们联系到了一起。当我们一起努力的时候，美国的前途无可限量。作为结束语，请允许我向得克萨斯州人民讲几句话：我们彼此认识的时间最长，你们是我旅程的起点。在得州广阔无垠的平原上，我初次学到了美国的特点：强壮有力、真诚坦率，充满了黎明般的希望。我将永远感谢这个州的优秀人民。不管前方的路怎么样，这条路都将带我回家。
选举已经结束，美利坚合众国将充满自信地前进。我看到我们的国家正迎来伟大的日子，很期待下一周的开始。
愿上帝保佑你们，保佑美国！
