Not a single one of us here today has done it alone. We are each a patchwork quilt of those who have loved us, those who have believed in our futures, those who showed us empathy and kindness or told us the truth even when it wasn't easy to hear.
今天在座的各位，没有一个人是只凭着自己就能走到今天的。是那些爱我们的人、相信我们未来的人、有同情和善良之心的人以及少有的告诉我们真相的人，是他们成就了今天的我们。
patchwork [ˈpætʃwɜːrk] n. 拼布工艺（品）；拼凑之物 adj. 拼缀的，拼缝的 quilt [kwɪlt] n. 被子，被褥；<英羽绒被（=duvet）；编织床罩；绝缘层，绝缘垫；被状物 v. 缝被子； 这里patchwork quilt 字面意思是被拼缝的被子，拼布床单，这里意译为成就了我们
Those who told us we could do it when there was absolutely no proof of that. Someone read stories to you and taught you to dream and offered up some moral code of right and wrong for you to try and live by.
还有的是那些无条件坚信我们能成功的人（意译，字面意思是告诉你你能成功的人，当没有任何证据证明你能成功）。他们中，有人给你读童话，教你树立理想，教你善恶/对错的道德准则，让你依据这些准则去生活。
when there was absolutely no proof of that 字面意思是那完全没有证据，意译为无条件（相信我们能成功），这里told us 告诉我们能成功翻译就会怪怪的，也可以意译为中文里的无条件相信/坚信我们能成功 offer up 贡献、提供 moral code 道德准则
Someone tried their best to explain every concept in this insanely complex world to the child that was you, as you asked a bazillion questions like ‘how does the moon work’ and ‘why can we eat salad but not grass.’
当你还是一个孩子的时候，有人想尽办法给你解释这个疯狂复杂世界的每一个概念，尽管你问了无数问题，比如“月亮是怎么转动的”“为什么我们可以吃沙拉却不能吃草”。
insanely [ɪnˈseɪnli] adv. 疯狂地；狂暴地；精神错乱地 complex [kəmˈpleks] adj. 复杂的，难懂的；组合的 n. 综合大楼，建筑群；复合体，综合体；情结 bazillion [bəˈzɪljən] 无数的
And maybe they didn't do it perfectly. No one ever can. Maybe they aren't with us anymore, and in that case, I hope you'll remember them today.
也许他们做得并不完美。没人能做到十全十美。也许他们已经不在我们身边，如果是这样，我希望你们今天能铭记他们。
If they are here in this stadium, I hope you'll find your own way to express your gratitude for all the steps and missteps that have led us to this common destination.
如果他们此时也在这个体育场里，我希望你能用自己的方式向那些帮助我们走过一路上的好与坏（意译），让我们走到今天的人们表达感谢。
gratitude [ˈɡrætɪtuːd] n.感激;感谢 steps and missteps 字面意思是步骤与失误，意译为一路上的好与坏 destination [ˌdestɪˈneɪʃn] n.目的地;终点
I know that words are supposed to be my 'thing', but I will never be able to find the words to thank my mom and my dad, and my brother, Austin, for the sacrifices they made every day so that I could go from singing in coffee houses to standing up here with you all today because no words would ever be enough.
我知道我应该“擅长”表达（意译），但我永远无法找到合适的语言来感谢我的父母和我的弟弟奥斯汀，是他们每天做出的牺牲，我才能从在咖啡馆唱歌一路走到今天，同你们站在这里，这份感激实在难以言喻。 To all the incredible parents, family members, mentors, teachers, allies, friends and loved ones here today who have supported these students in their pursuit of educational enrichment, let me savy to you now: Welcome to New York. It's been waiting for you. （这是taylor的歌词） 对于今天在座所有了不起的父母、家人、导师、老师、校友、朋友和亲爱的人们，是你们支持着同学们，不断吸取学习的养分（意译）， 现在请允许我对你们说：“欢迎来纽约，它等候你多时。”
划线部分整个句子的结构分析： 主干部分I will never be able to find the words 我找不到词， to thank my mom..做宾语补足语，来感谢我的妈妈..的词，for the sacrifices 做原因状语，因为他们的牺牲，sacrifice 后面加了省略了that的定语从句，that they made every day，修饰牺牲，他们每天都做出的牺牲；so that引导结果状语从句，对应翻译里的“我才能”的“才”字，表示一种结果的含义。from A to B，从A到B，动词需要用动名词结构，所以sing和stand都加了ing；整句话结束后，because引导了原因状语从句，因为任何语言都不够。 incredible [ɪnˈkredəbl] adj. 不能相信的;难以置信的;极好的;极大的，非凡的 pursuit of educational enrichment 字面意思很难说通，这里意译为吸取学习的养分 enrichment [ɪnˈrɪtʃmənt] n. 丰富；改进；肥沃；发财
