so I'm guessing there are some people here today who thought
15
that either one of those things either one would really require major help from God do we agree and we got it
16
But here we are celebrating together on this very joyous occasion.
17
And there is no place in the world I'd rather be

to give my first commencement address as president than here with my wonderful friends at Liberty University.

great university, living in this amazing country,

surrounded by people who you love and care about so much then ask yourself with all of those blessings
59
and all of the blessings
60
that you've been given what will you give back to this country
61
and indeed to the world what imprint will you leave in
62
the sands of history what What will future Americans say we did in our brief time right here on Earth? Did we take risks?
63
Did we dare to defy expectations?
64
Did we challenge accepted wisdom and take on established systems?
65
I think I did, but we all did.
66
And we're all doing it.
67
Or did we just go along with convention, swim downstream so easily with the current,
68
and just give in because it was the easy way, it was the traditional way,
69
or it was the accepted way?
70
Remember this, nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy.
71
your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from
72
those who lack the same courage to do what is right

74
or the guts or the stamina to take it and to do it.

It's called the road less traveled.
76
I know that each of you will be a warrior for the truth,
77
will be a warrior for our country and for your family.

I know that each of you will do what is right, not what is the easy way,
79
and that you will be true to yourself and your country and your beliefs.
80
In my short time in Washington, I've seen firsthand how the system is broken.
81
a small group of failed voices who think they know everything
82
and understand everyone want to tell everybody else how to live
83
and what to do and how to think
84
but you aren't going to let other people tell you what you believe especially when you know that you're right
85
And those of you graduating here today who have given half a million hours of charity last year alone,
86
unbelievable amount of work and charity and few universities or colleges can claim anything even close.
87
We don't need a lecture from Washington on how to lead our lives.
88
I'm standing here looking at the next generation of American leaders.
89
There may very well be a president or two in our midst.
90
Anybody think they're going to be president?
91
Raise your hand.
92
In your hearts are inscribed the values of service, sacrifice, and devotion.
93
Now you must go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
