Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty members, proud parents, and, most importantly, the graduating class of 2024,
女士们、先生们、尊敬的教授老师们、各位家长，以及2024届毕业生们，
As we gather here today to celebrate our achievements, it's with immense gratitude and a profound sense of accomplishment that I stand before you as a graduate of the Master of Laws program at Peking University School of Transnational Law.
今天，我们齐聚一堂庆祝我们所取得的成就。作为北京大学国际法学院（STL）L.LM项目的毕业生，此刻我感到无比感激和骄傲。
First and foremost, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to my fellow graduates. Each of us embarked on this journey with unique aspirations and dreams, and today, we stand together as testament to our perseverance, dedication, and the power of knowledge.
首先，我谨向各位毕业生表示衷心的祝贺。 我们每个人都带着自己的抱负和梦想踏上了这段旅程，今天，我们站在这里，证明了我们的毅力、付出和知识的力量。
Our decision to pursue our LL.M. at STL, nestled in the heart of China, was not merely a choice of convenience, but a deliberate step towards broadening our horizons and embracing the complexities of transnational law. China, with its rich history, vibrant culture, and rapidly evolving legal landscape, provided us with a unique vantage point to study law in a global context. It's here, amidst the bustling streets of Shenzhen, that we were not just students, but global citizens, immersed in a melting pot of cultures, languages, and legal traditions.
我们决定在位于中国中心地带的STL攻读法学硕士学位，不仅仅是考虑到深圳的便利条件，更是为了拓宽我们的视野并感受跨国法的复杂性。中国历史悠久、充满活力，法律环境日新月异，为我们在全球化背景下研究法律提供了独特的优势。在这里，在深圳熙熙攘攘的街道上，我们不仅仅是学生，还是世界公民，沉浸在文化、语言和法律传统的大熔炉中。
The benefits of studying at STL extend far beyond the confines of the classroom. Our experiences here have been transformative, challenging us to think critically, communicate effectively, and collaborate across borders. Whether it was engaging in spirited debates with classmates from diverse backgrounds or participating in moot court competitions that tested our legal acumen, each experience has left an indelible mark on our journey towards becoming proficient legal scholars and practitioners.
在 STL 学习的好处并不局限于课堂。我们在这里的学习经历具有变革性，要求我们进行批判性思考、有效沟通和跨国合作。 无论是与来自不同背景的同学进行激烈的辩论，还是参加考验我们法律敏锐度的模拟法庭比赛，每一次经历都在我们成为专业法律人的路上留下了不可磨灭的印记。
But our time at STL was not just about academic rigour; it was also about fostering meaningful connections and forging lifelong friendships. From late-night study sessions in to exploring the vibrant city of Shenzhen together, we've shared moments of success and moments of struggle, each serving to strengthen the bonds that tie us together as a community.
但我们在 STL 的时光并不只有学习，还有同学之间结下的深厚长久的友谊。 从一起挑灯夜战到一起探索深圳这座充满活力的城市，我们一路分享彼此成功的喜悦和奋斗的艰辛，我们的感情也在每一个这样的时刻不断加深。
As we stand on the threshold of a new chapter in our lives, let us carry forward the lessons we've learned and the values we hold dear. Let us be champions of justice, advocates for change, bridges for co-operation, and beacons of hope in a world that often feels uncertain and divided. Let us embrace diversity, celebrate inclusion, and strive to build a more equitable society for all.
在我们即将开启人生新篇章之际，让我们带着所学到的知识和我们所珍视的价值观，成为正义的捍卫者、变革的倡导者、合作的桥梁，以及这个充满不确定和分裂的世界中的希望灯塔。让我们拥抱多样性，庆祝包容性，努力为所有人建立一个更加公平的社会。
In closing, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the faculty and staff at STL for their unwavering support and guidance throughout our journey. To our families and loved ones, thank you for your endless encouragement and sacrifices that made this moment possible.
最后，我要向 STL 的教职员工表示最深切的感谢，感谢他们在我们整个旅途中坚定不移的支持和指导。 感谢我们的亲朋好友，感谢你们一直以来的鼓励和牺牲，让这一刻成为可能。
And to my fellow graduates, as we step out into the world, let us do so with courage, conviction, and a commitment to excellence. The challenges ahead may be daunting, but with the knowledge we've gained and the friendships we've formed, I have no doubt that we are well-equipped to overcome them.
亲爱的同学们，当我们走向世界时，让我们怀揣勇气、信念和对卓越的追求。未来的挑战可能令人心生畏惧，但凭借我们所获得的知识和我们所建立的友谊，我相信我们一定能克服这些困难。
Congratulations, Class of 2024. Our futures are bright, our possibilities endless. Here's to the next chapter of our journey. Thank you.
2024届毕业生们，祝贺大家！我们拥有光明的未来、无限的可能。让我们迎接人生旅途的新篇章吧！谢谢大家！
