Thank you! My name is Bono and I am a rock star. Don't get me too excited because I use four letter words when I get excited. And I'm that guy. I'd just like to say to the parents, your children are safe, your country is safe, the FCC has taught me a lesson and the only--the only four-letter word I'm going to use today is P-E-N-N. (Safe.) Come to think of it, "Bono" is a four-letter word. The whole business of obscenity--I don't think there's anything certainly more unseemly than the sight of a rock star in academic robes. It's a bit like when people get their--put their King Charles spaniels in little tartan sweats and hats. It's sort of--it's not natural, and it doesn't make the dog any smarter.
谢谢！我叫博诺，是个摇滚音乐明星。别让我太激动，因为我一激动就会说出那四个字母的词了。我就是这种人。我只想跟各位家长说，你们的孩子很安全，你们的国家很安全。联邦通讯委员会给了我一个教训——所以今天我要用的唯一的四个字母的单词就是P-E-N-N（宾夕法尼亚大学简称）。细想一下，Bono也是由四个字母构成的呀。整件事情都很怪异——我想没有什么比摇滚明星穿着博士长袍更不合适的了。就像让查尔斯王子的西班牙猎犬穿上苏格兰格子上衣、戴上帽子一样——既不自然，也没有变得更好看。
It's true we were here before with U2 and I would like to thank them for giving me a great life, as well as you. I've got a great rock and roll band that normally stand at the back when I'm talking to thousands of people in a football stadium and they were here with me, I think it was seven years ago. Actually then I was with some other sartorial problems. I--I was wearing a mirror-ball suit at the time and I emerged from a forty-foot high revolving lemon. It was a sort of cross between a space ship, a disco and, actully, a--a plastic fruit.
以前我和U2乐队一起来过这里，我要感谢他们给了我很棒的经历，就像你们一样。我有一支很棒的摇滚乐队。当我站在足球场上对着数千人演讲时，他们通常会在背后支持我。我想是七年前吧，他们也曾和我一起站在这里。实际上，那时我的表演服装有些奇怪。我穿着一身会反光的衣服，从一个40英尺高的旋转着的柠檬中现身。那个柠檬就像是宇宙飞船和迪斯科舞厅的混合产物，实际上是一个塑料水果。
