it's pretty standard in our household,

わが家では普通よ

but we realize you probably had

でも皆さんは―

a much different kind of celebration planned.

もっと盛大に祝いたかったわよね

Graduations are a big deal.

卒業は大イベントよ

Even though there's only one name on that diploma,

卒業証書には名前が１つだけど

I bet there are a lot of people in your life

皆さんを誇りに思う人は たくさんいるはずだわ

who feel a huge sense of pride in your accomplishment.

国中が祝福してることを知ってね

You deserve to feel the love of your whole community right now.

今 私たちには物理的な距離がある

Although this pandemic has called on all of us

でも心のつながりは強くなったわ

to be physically distant,

今回の件でよく分かったの

it's also reinforced how connected we truly are.

私たちは決して一人じゃない

it's a constant reminder that each one of us

君たちは どの世代の人間よりも

is part of something much, much bigger.

世界中の人との絆を実感してる

Your generation understands

字を覚えた頃からインターネットがある

the ties between the people of the world

遠く離れた大衆文化やニュースに 触れながら育った

better than perhaps any that has come before it.

君たちの未来の課題も 世界中から突き付けられる

Many of you have been logging onto the Internet since you could read.

感染症の発生 気候変動

You've grown up with access to pop culture, news

男女格差 貧困問題

and perspective from societies

皆さんの行動は世界に影響を及ぼす

thousands of miles from your home.

どんな人でも この世界をよくすることができる

And the major challenges looming over your future are also being

公益事業に興味を持った人もいるだろう

confronted by your peers in every part of the globe,

でも他にも方法はある

including disease outbreaks, climate change,

変化を求めて声を上げ 投票すればいい

gender inequality and poverty.

よりよい未来を創るための方法を 主張するんだ

And your actions can have a huge global impact.

どこに住んでいても関係ない

No matter who you are,

皆さんはどんなことでも成し遂げられる

you have the chance

応援してるわ

to be a force for good in this world.

皆さんが指揮を執れば―

If this crisis has inspired you

世界はもっとたくましくて平等な場所になる

to pursue a career in public service,

卒業 おめでとう

that's fantastic.

But it's not the only way to contribute.

You can always use your voice and your

vote to advance change.

You can insist on policies that create a healthier, better future

for everyone, everywhere,

whether they live down the street

or on the other side of the planet.

You are every bit as capable

of accomplishing incredible things.

We're rooting for you, and we know that with your leadership,

the world will emerge from this stronger

and more equal than ever.

[both] Congratulations, graduates!
