# President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, proud parents, and, above all, graduates.
The first thing I would like to say is ‘thank you.’ Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honour, but the weeks of fear and nausea I have endured at the thought of giving this commencement add ress have made me lose weight. A win-win situation! Now all I have to do is take deep breaths, squint at the red banners and convince myself that I am at the world’s largest Gryffindor reunion.

 

* members of the faculty : 교수진

 

* extraordinary = special

# Delivering a commencement address is a great responsibility; or so I thought until I cast my mind back to my own graduation. The commencement speaker that day was the distinguished British philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock. Reflecting on her speech has helped me enormously in writing this one, because it turns out that I can’t remember a single word she said. This liberating discovery enables me to proceed without any fear that I might inadvertently influence you to abandon promising careers in business, the law or politics for the giddy delights of becoming a gay wizard.

 

* deliver = give

 

* or so I thought until : 그렇게 생각했다 그런데 = 착각   // until 그러다가 (상황의 변화)

If something casts a light or shadow somewhere, it causes it to appear there.

The moon cast a bright light over the yard. [VERB noun preposition] 

They flew in over the beach, casting a huge shadow. [VERB noun] 

 

* mind : 머리 => 기억, 이해, 판단
