As a kid, I always thought I would go away to college, imagining the posters I'd hang on the wall of my freshmen dorm. I even set the ending of my music video for my song “Love Story” at my fantasy imaginary college, where I meet a male model reading a book on the grass and with one single glance, we realize we had been in love in our past lives，which is exactly what you guys all experienced at some point in the last 4 years, right?
小时候，我一直认为自己会到外地上大学，想象着我在大学新生宿舍墙上贴上海报。在《Love StoryMV 的结尾处，我甚至把我梦想中的大学生活拍了进去，在那里，我邂逅了一位在草地上正看书的男模特，只是因为在人群中多看了一眼（皮一下很开心，其实是只对视了一眼），我们就想起了上一辈子我们曾相爱（意译）。这不就是你们过去四年大学生活都经历过的时刻吗？

But I really can't complain about not having a normal college experience to you because you went to NYU during a global pandemic, being essentially locked into your dorms or having to do classes over Zoom.
不过我不能向你们抱怨我没有体验过正常的大学生活。因为你们是在全球疫情暴发的时候来到纽约大学，要么基本在宿舍隔离（意译），只能在 Zoom 上面上网课。
global pandemic 全球疫情 pandemic [pænˈdemɪk] adj. 大流行病 essentially [ɪˈsenʃəli] adv. 本质上，根本上；大体上，基本上
Everyone in college during normal times stresses about test scores, but on top of that you also had to pass like a thousand COVID tests. I imagine the idea of a normal college experience was all you wanted too.
在正常情况下，所有大学生都在为考试成绩焦虑，在此之上/除此之外，你们却还要通过一次又一次的核酸检测。我想你们肯定也向往正常的大学生活。
COVID tests 核酸检测
But in this case, you and I both learned that you don't always get all the things in the bag that you selected from the menu in the delivery surface. That is life.
这种境况下让我们都懂得，你并不能得到所有你想要的东西（意译，字面意思是你不可能总是把你从送货界面菜单中选择的所有东西都装进袋子里。），这就是生活.
delivery surface 送货界面 delivery [dɪˈlɪvəri] n.传送;送货；交付;分娩;递送;演讲方式;表演风格;投球
You get what you get. And as I would like to say to you wholeheartedly, you should be very proud of what you've done with it.
命里有时终须有，命里无时莫强求。而我想真心对你们说，你所做的一切努力都值得你为之骄傲。
Today you leave New York University and then you go out into the world searching for what's next. And so will I.
今天你们将离开纽约大学，踏入外面的世界，探索更广阔的天地（意译，字面意思是去寻找下一步是什么）。我也是一样。
