Tulane University Commencement Address Ellen DeGeneres May, 2009

艾伦风趣自然的风格似乎与生俱来，她在杜兰大学的演讲延续了自己的幽默风格，艾伦拆分了 commencement，在“笑果”十足的短短演说中透漏了自己艰辛的成长历程，让人从中受到很大鼓舞，她还给毕业生们以诚恳的建议，让毕业生收益匪浅。

And really when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing. I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. And ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place. I don't live in fear. I'm free. I have no secrets. And I know I'll always be OK, because no matter what, I know who I am.

当我回首这些往事的时候，我一点也不会改变。因为我发现，即使失去一切，最重要的是做真正的自己。最终，我来到了这里。我不再恐惧，我感觉很自在，也不再有秘密，而且我知道一切都会好的，因为无论如何，我知道我是谁。
