All of this is as it should be, because none of you is special。

　　You are not special. You are not exceptional. Contrary to what your u9 soccer trophy suggests, your glowing seventh grade report card, despite every assurance of a certain corpulent purple dinosaur, that nice Mister Rogers and your batty Aunt Sylvia, no matter how often your maternal caped crusader has swooped in to save you… you’re nothing special。

　　这一切本应如此，因为，你们没有任何人是特别的。

　　你并不特别，你并非与众不同；

　　尽管你有U9足球奖杯、辉煌的七年级成绩单；尽管你确信世上必定有肥胖的紫色恐龙、亲切的罗杰斯先生(著名儿童电视节目主持人)和古怪的Sylvia阿姨；无论女蝙蝠侠曾奋不顾身地救过你多少次；你依然没什么特别。

　　Yes, you’ve been pampered, cosseted, doted upon, helmeted, bubble-wrapped. Yes, capable adults with other things to do have held you, kissed you, fed you, wiped your mouth, wiped your bottom, trained you, taught you, tutored you, coached you, listened to you, counseled you, encouraged you, consoled you and encouraged you again. You’ve been nudged, cajoled, wheedled and implored. You’ve been feted and fawned over and called sweetie pie. Yes, you have. And, certainly, we’ve been to your games, your plays, your recitals, your science fairs. Absolutely, smiles ignite when you walk into a room, and hundreds gasp with delight at your every tweet. Why, maybe you’ve even had your picture in the Townsman！ [Editor’s upgrade: Or The Swellesley Report！]

　　是的，你被骄纵、溺爱、宠爱、保护、呵护；是的，忙碌不堪的大人抱着你、亲吻你、喂养你，替你擦嘴、擦屁股；训练你、教导你、指引你、辅导你、倾听你、规劝你、鼓励你、安慰你，并一再地鼓励你。你们被轻拥在怀里，好言哄诱和恳求；你们被赞美讨好，还被称为甜心派。是的，你确实有。当然，我们曾参加你的比赛、戏剧演出、演奏会、科学展览；当然，当你走进房里时，每个人都露出微笑；对你贴出的每一则twitter 讯息发出千百次兴奋的惊叹。为什么？也许你的照片曾登上Townsman(韦斯利高中校内刊物)

　　And now you’ve conquered high school… and, indisputably, here we all have gathered for you, the pride and joy of this fine community, the first to emerge from that magnificent new building…

　　But do not get the idea you’re anything special. Because you’re not。

　　现在你们已经征服了高中阶段，无疑地，我们全都是为了你们而聚在这里。你们是这个优秀小区的骄傲和喜悦，第一批从那栋宏伟新大楼里走出的人。

　　但不要认为你有什么特别，因为你并不特别。
