南京姑娘的毕业演讲惊艳了美国！火爆了朋友圈！（附演讲视频及中英文演讲稿）

最近，有位南京姑娘火爆微博，朋友圈！小新最近都被这个姑娘刷屏了！

🔼集美貌与智慧于一身的南京姑娘

6月9日，她的演讲视频被分享到微博上，获得了8000多次转发。不一样的是，这次带来的是惊艳！

这位名叫蔡语靖的女生，来自南京，是美国波士顿大学2017年的毕业生，取得了数学金融科学的硕士学位。

波士顿大学，简称BU，创办于1839年，是美国一所历史悠久的世界顶尖私立大学，同时也是全美第三大私立大学。

在长约7分钟的演讲里，蔡语婧首先向在座所有学生介绍她的家乡——南京；

随后她提到，在她眼里，出国留学，更多意味着接触多元化的群体；

美国并不代表着完美的自由，在这里她也会因为捍卫自己的信念得到怀疑和厌恶；

也会有无法融入的不适感；

但这些都是暂时或者不重要的，在这种环境中，培养出的拥抱文化多元的能力才是受益一生的。

演讲稿：

The president：

It has been an absolute honor serving as this last year's Questrom Graduate Council president. 

And with this title, I get the additional honor of introducing today's students speaker speaking of being you, Yujing Cai, is a double-terrial meaning that she has also earn be undergraduate degree from Boston University. 

Today, she will earn her master of Science in Math Finance and for those of you who are unfamiliar with this program the MSMF students are the ones who were always in the grade lounge or in the library and always sitting for her exam or filling up the team rewards with the endless equations. 

Yujing represents a growing program here in Questrom. but she also represents something greater, she was part of the Questrom Graduate Council as the MSMF for representative so show me your warm welcoming Yujing Cai. [Clapping]

Yujing Cai：

Greetings! Friends, family, faculty and staff. Welcome to Boston University on such a beautiful Friday night. 

My name is Yujing Cai, and I am a graduate of the Master of Mathematic Finance program. I come from Nanjing, China, one of the oldest cities in the world. And right now, my family is sitting somewhere over there. They… [Clapping] 

They travelled, literally across half of the world to come here and see their baby girl graduate and talk in a language that they don't understand. Therefore, I am tremendously grateful for this opportunity to share my perspective of 6 years at the Questrom School of Business. 

One of the things I have always enjoyed doing while waiting for classes was looking at the different country flags in our atrium. And sometimes my friends and I even have a silly competition going on to see who knew more flags, and it often amazed me how many different cultures and nationalities are represented in our community. In a community, so diverse, mutual understanding doesn't come easily, so I tried hard to be adaptive from the very beginning. 

And soon… I found myself adjusting to the bigger food portions, and railways in the middle of the roads. I even tried fortune cookies for the first time in my life! [Clapping] And soon… I felt so content with my progress that I gradually built a cozy nest with people of my culture, my age, who thought and acted exactly like I did. 

Well, why bother talking to anyone else? The job-hunting process in coursework were already so tiring, and meeting outside my circle just seemed so unnecessary and scary. 

Then one day this changed. It was a normal school day, I was in the atrium looking at the flags as always. I saw that the flag of China was surrounded nicely by the flags of Canada, Colombia, Chile and DR Congo, and suddenly, it struck me that I didn't know anyone of those nationalities. What a waste it was for me to ignore the diversity of experience and opinions that the community had to offer!

 I was determined to change, but it wasn't easy. I experienced the awkwardness of having to explain a joke that nobody understood, the nervousness of asking questions about other cultures that seems so obvious and silly, the anger of defending my own beliefs only to get suspicion and aloofness in return. 

But fortunately, these discomforts were soon taken over by something else such as the amusement of teaching my classmates to pronounce my last name, Cai, using a part of their tongue that they didn't know existed, the excitement of promoting our Math Finance culture awareness events in the Questrom Graduate Council, the satisfaction of knowing all the authentic secret restaurants around Boston and the astonishment of seeing the world and myself in a way that I could never have imaged before. 

Over the past 2 years of graduate school and 4 years of undergraduate before that, I have been so proud to see that our school grew from School of Management to Questrom School Business, and that our community is growing stonger and more vibrant each year, and this could not have happened without the efforts of everyone here, to share, to inspire, and to embrace each other. 

Let's now think about the future. 20 years from now, what kind of chanllenges are we going to face, as family members, as business owners, as human beings. Nobody knows. And to cope with that amount of uncertainty, we will need a diverse set of skills and knowledge, and most important of all, an open mind to learn. 

That's why we have been so lucky to be part of the Questrom community that cultivated such freedom of an open mind. So congratulations, class of 2017! For when you walk outside that door today, you are already equipped with one of the most critical skills to succeed in the future, the ability to embrace diversity. Thank you so much! [Clapping] 

The president：

Melissa and Yujing, thank you for your kind and factual remarks on behalf of the graduates…

主持人：

作为Questrom毕业生委员会的主持人，我感到非常荣幸。因为这个头衔，我有了附加权利，来介绍今天演讲的学生代表。谈到成为完美的自己，蔡语婧，就是一个很好的例子。她不仅获得了来自波士顿大学的毕业证书，同时今天，她也将取得数学金融科学的硕士学位。

而对于你们其中一些还不了解这个课程的同学，MSMF的学生就是一些，经常泡在年级自习室和图书馆，经常为考试做准备，或者是用毫无止境的方程式来填充团队荣誉墙的人。

语婧代表着这个在Questrom成长中的专业，但是她也代表着一些更美好的东西。她是Questrom毕业生委员会的一部分，是MSMF学生的代表，现在请用最热烈的掌声欢迎蔡语婧 [掌声] 

蔡语婧：

谢谢！朋友，家人，教职员工，欢迎大家在这样一个美丽的星期五晚上来到波士顿大学。

我的名字是蔡语婧，我毕业于数学金融硕士专业。我来自中国南京，世界上最古老的城市之一。现在，我的家人正坐在那里，他们…… [掌声]

他们跨越了半个地球，来到这里，来看他们的宝贝女儿毕业，然后用他们听不懂的语言演讲。因此，我非常荣幸，能在此分享我在Questrom商学院六年的感悟。 

在等待上课时，我最喜欢做的事情之一就是，看着我们商学院的大厅挂着不同的国旗。 有时我还会和朋友们傻傻地比赛，看谁认得出更多的国旗。

而我时常惊讶，我们的学生群体里竟然有这么多不同文化和名族的代表。在这样一个多元化的群体里 相互理解并不容易，所以我从一开始就努力地让自己适应。很快，我发现自己适应了这里更大的食量，和马路正中间的铁路，我甚至人生中第一次品尝了幸运饼干 [掌声]

很快…… 我满足于自己的进步，于是逐渐建立了一个充满了与我的文化背景、年龄相仿的人的舒适的“窝” 。

她们的所思所想都与我相似，我又何必再和其他人交流呢？ 学校的学业和找工作的过程已经让人疲惫不堪，跨出我自己的圈子，去和其他人交往，看起来是那么的没必要，甚至可怕。

有一天，这一切突然改变了。那是一个正常的上课日，我一如既往的在大厅里看着不同的国旗。我看到中国的国旗被加拿大，哥伦比亚和刚果民主共和国的国旗很好的包围着。

突然间，我意识到我并不认识任何这些国籍的人。我意识到，忽略了Questrom这样多元化群体提供给我的多样的经验和观点是多大的浪费！

所以我决心要改变，但这并不容易。我经历了，不得不解释一个没有人理解的笑话 的尴尬；对于别的文化提出问题，但担心问题过于明显和愚蠢的紧张感；以及，捍卫我自己的信念，却只得到怀疑和厌恶时的愤怒。

但幸运的是，这些不舒适的感受很快就被别人的事情替代了。比如，当我教会我的同学们发音我的姓氏 “蔡”， 他们使用到了自己以前都没注意到的小部分舌头的时候的快乐；还有，当我向Questrom研究生学生会，宣传我们金融数学项目的文化活动时的兴奋；以及，当我知道波士顿周围所有最正宗最地道的餐馆时的满足；还有当我 以自己从未想象过的视角，去看这个世界和自己的世界时的惊奇。

在过去两年的研究生院，和再之前四年的本科生活中，我很自豪地看到，我们的学院从管理学院成长为Questrom商学院，而且我们的学生群体每一年都越来越强大，愈发具有活力。而这样的进步，如果没有这里的每个人努力地去分享，去激励，去接纳彼此，是不可能发生的。

现在我们来思考未来，20年后，我们将会面临什么样的挑战？作为家庭成员，作为企业总裁，作为人类，没有人知道。所以为了应对如此大的不确定性，我们需要储备多样化的技能和知识，而更重要的是，要有一颗开放的大脑去学习。

这就是为什么我们这么幸运，能成为Questrom群体的一部分，因为它发展了开放思想的自由。所以，恭喜在场的2017届毕业生，因为当你们今天走出那扇门时，你已经全副武装，具备了未来成功的关键竞争技能，即拥抱文化多样性的能力。非常感谢！ [掌声] 

主持人：

Melissa Yujing 非常感谢你们代表所有毕业生发言……
