As you may recall, in August of 2020, our new student convocation took place virtually.

你可能还记得，2020 年 8 月，我的新生开学仪式是以线上形式举行的。

Well, most of them only need a cap and gown for that particular convocation service, but some of the education majors have had them made, bucause they will be faculty members, and they'll need them for student commencement each year.

大部分同学只需穿一次，所以租一套，但教育方向的业生订做一套，因为将来要留校，每年参加学生的业典礼都要穿。

But this aside, the reason it's not going to be the most conventional convocation speech is because there is something a little different going on.

但除此之外，这次演讲之所以不那么传统，是因为现在的情况有些不同寻常。

I remember the convocation of ladies who assembled to decide whether or not Mrs Fitz-Adam should be called upon by the old blue-blooded inhabitants of Cranford.

我记得那次女士议，她聚在一起，决定克兰福德的老派贵族居民是否应该去拜访菲茨-亚当夫人。

Do you want to attend the convocation?

你要参加业典礼吗？

The principles are to be used for new student orientations, educator training and special campus gatherings called convocations.

这些原则将被用于新生入学培训、教育工作者培训和名为的特殊校园议。

This convocation ceremony, marking the opening of the academic year for our new undergraduates.

本次开学典礼，标志着新一届本科生新学年的正式开启。

And the way I understand it, in a convocation speech, one is supposed to provide sagacious advice, and I'll do a little bit of that, but only a bit, because this speech will be a little bit different.

据我理解，在业典礼演讲中，人通常给出一些睿智的建议，我也稍微给一些建议，但不太多，因为这场演讲有些与众不同。

Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me. New Moons, Sabbaths and convocations— I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.

你不要再献虚浮的供物。香品是我所憎恶的；月朔和安息日，并宣的大，也是我所憎恶的；作罪孽，又守严肃，我也不能容忍。

There's your convocation of free men.

那里就是你的自由人。

And let me also say welcome to parents and families who are watching today's convocation around the world.

我还要向观看今天世界各地业典礼的家长和家人表示欢迎。
