In 1964, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave a speech at Page Auditorium to an overflow crowd. Students who couldn’t get a seat listened from outside on the lawn. Dr. King warned them that someday we would all have to atone, not only for the words and actions of the bad people, but for “the appalling silence and indifference of the good people, who sit around and say, ‘Wait on time.’”
1964年，马丁-路德金在发表演讲时，台下坐满了人，那些没有座位的学生则拥挤在草坪上。那时路德金博士就告诫学生们，人们总有一天都要为自己的行为付出代价，作恶的坏人如此，那些沉默和冷漠的“好人”也是如此。
Martin Luther King stood right here at Duke, and said: “The time is always right to do right.” For you, graduates, that time is now.
马丁·路德金曾在杜克大学说过：“只要做对的事情，永远都是最好的时机。对你们来说，毕业生们，现在是时候行动了。”
It will always be now.
现在什么样子，将来就什么样子。
It’s time to add your brick to the path of progress. It’s time for all of us to move forward. And it’s time for you to lead the way.
为将来做好打算，让我们一起前进，并且带领别人共同进步。
Thank you—and congratulations, Class of 2018!
