最美律师2018范德堡大学毕业演讲:不忘初心勇敢前行(附演讲稿)
最美律师2018年大学毕业演讲
2018年5月初,“乔嫂”阿迈勒·克鲁尼(amal clooney)受邀出席美国范德堡大学的毕业礼,全程用温柔的伦敦英音鼓励毕业生们:Be Courageous!
对她有所了解的人知道,Amal不仅气质出众,更是毕业于牛津大学和美国纽约大学法学院的美女学霸,后在英国著名律师事务所Doughty Street Chambers担任律师。她的知名委托人包括:维基解密创办人阿桑奇,以及前乌克兰美女总理季莫申科。
在范德堡大学毕业典礼演讲中,她称现如今,勇气比以往任何时候都要重要。“当全世界很多女性面临虐待,工作受到限制;当LGBT群体为平等权利、免于监禁而斗争……我们需要勇气,需要有勇气的年轻人站出来说,这个世界是我们的,某些事一定要被改变。”
她再次强调:100年前,范德堡大学的毕业礼上鲜有女性;60年前,毕业日的观众之中绝不会有非裔美国人,而如今改变了太多,这都要归功于那些有勇气的人们~

"Courage, as they say, is contagious," she started. "People who have had the courage to change their societies—in India, in South Africa, in the United States—inspire each other and create rights for future generations. "
“人们说,勇气是会传染的。那些有勇气改变社会的人,无论是在印度、南非,还是美国都鼓励了大众,为子孙后代争取了权利。”
"But when I look at the world today, I see that courage is needed more than ever. At a time when women all over the world face physical abuse, restrictions on their ability to work, own property, travel and even have custody over their children, we need courage. At a time when the LGBT community and every continent struggles for equal rights, freedom from imprisonment and even death, we need courage."
“但当我审视今天的世界,我发现勇气比以往任何时候都更重要。当全世界的很多女性面临着生理伤害,工作能力收到限制,财产权、旅行权,甚至对孩子的监护权都受到限制,我们需要勇气。当全世界的LGBT群体,为平等权利、免于监禁甚至死亡而斗争,我们需要勇气。”
"At a time when more journalists are in prison around the world than at any time in the last three decades—and even here at home, [where] the media is under attack from the White House—we need courage. And at a time when our politicians try to conflate the terms ‘refugee’ and ‘terrorist’ and make us fear one another, we need courage."
“当全世界被关进监狱的记者数量达到了30年以来的最大值,甚至在家中,媒体也会受到来自白宫的威胁,我们需要勇气。当政客们试图把难民和恐怖分子混为一谈,让我们恐惧彼此,我们需要勇气。”
" We need young people with the courage to say this is our world now and there are going to be some changes."
“我们需要有勇气的年轻人站出来说,‘这个世界属于我们,某些事一定要被改变’”。
