问答题 Parents and students of the Class of 2005: Good afternoon and welcome to Stanford University. Today, we celebrate the arrival of 1717 new freshmen and transfer students. I have struggled with the format of this Convocation and the content of this speech for the past ten days. Since the morning of Sept. 11, the campus has been uncommonly quiet. Except for two memorial services, all major events were canceled. As we considered how to start a new academic year, we decided that a convocation was, in fact, the most fitting way to resume our normal activities. Students, you represent our best hope for the future and for peace in our world. Americans and good-hearted people of all ages throughout the world will mourn this tragedy and carry the memory of that terrible day in their hearts. But it is your generation—more so than mine or your parents’ —that will face the challenge of building a world in which such inhuman acts can never again occur.无
