杨舒平马里兰演讲内容中文翻译 昆明一中杨舒平资料介绍

 

I am truly honored and grateful to speak at the commencement for the University of Maryland, Class of 2017.

 

People often ask me: Why did you come to the University of Maryland?

 

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.

 

五年前，从中国来的时候，我准备了5个口罩。从飞机上下来，离开达拉斯机场候机楼时，我正准备戴上口罩时，吸入了第一口美国的空气，然后我将口罩收了起来。

 

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.

 

我深感意外。我在中国的一个城市长大，从小出门都得戴口罩，否则就会生病。

 

No more fog on my glasses, no more difficult breathing, no more suppression.

 

Every breath was a delight. As I stand here today, I cannot help, but recall that feeling of freedom.

 

每一口呼吸都是愉悦的。今天我站在这里，仍然忍不住回想起那种自由的感觉。

 

At the University of Maryland, I assume feel another kind of fresh air for which I will be forever grateful — the fresh air of free speech.

 

在马里兰大学，另一种清新的空气也令我感怀不已——言论自由的空气。

 

 

中国的空气肮脏不堪，而美国“fresh and sweet”的空气竟然好到令她无比惊讶。中国没有democracy, 只有在美国她才体会到什么是democracy和自由，在美国她可以想说啥说啥，想做啥做啥。
