Graduating with style does not just mean not making an ass out of yourself. Put your best foot forward as you head into your future.
得体地毕业并不意味着你要把自己打扮成白痴。当你的头迎向未来时，脚步也要向前。

Step 1: Stand and sit up straight
Stand and sit up straight. Your parents are no doubt taping the entire event, so refrain from doing the slouch and shuffle—unless you want your sulky, pre-evolutionary amble to be captured for posterity.
站直和坐直
站直和坐直。你的父母肯定会将整个毕业仪式录下来，所以不要懒散也不要拖拉，除非你想将阴沉的，未进化完的老态龙钟的样子留给子孙当笑柄。

Tip:Don’t get wasted the night before. You’ll feel awful and your pictures will look like crap.
小贴士:举办仪式前的前天晚上不要放纵。你会感觉很糟，你的照片看上去会更糟。

Step 2: Wear something nice
Wear something under your robe that’s tasteful and not too hot—something that won’t embarrass you or others when your robe inevitably comes off.
穿些漂亮的衣服
在礼服里面穿些有品味而且不会让你感到热的衣服，穿些当你的礼服滑落时，不会让你或他人感到尴尬的衣服。

Step 3: Look your best
Look your best. Get a haircut, if you need one, and, girls, consider a mani-pedi. You want to look sophisticated and confident as you enter the world.
看起来要最漂亮
看起来要最漂亮。如果有必要就剪下头发，女孩看起来要整洁。当你进入社会时，你要看起来老练而又自信。

Tip:Slap on some sunscreen. A sunburned face is not stylish.
小贴士:擦些防晒油。擦了防晒油的脸不漂亮。

Step 4: Don’t be disrespectful
If you’re planning on being hilarious by disrupting the valedictorian’s speech with “woos” and “booyahs”… don’t.
不要无礼
如果你打算通过喊“哇塞”等来打断告别演说者的讲话，不要那样做。

Step 5: Smile
When collecting your diploma, make eye contact with the person handing it to you. Give a good handshake—and remember to smile!
微笑
当你接过证书时，要和颁发证书的人有眼神交流。礼貌地握下手并记得要微笑。

Step 6: Thank those who got you there
Thank the people responsible for you making it to graduation day. You know who they are.
感谢帮助你毕业的人
感谢那些帮助你毕业的人。你知道是哪些人。

Tip:If there is a faculty member who went above and beyond for you, or whose class you particularly enjoyed, take the time to say so.
小贴士:如果有在身边的老师，或是他的课你特别喜欢，记得要去表达谢意。

Step 7: Send thank you cards
Send handwritten thank-you notes to everyone who remembered your graduation. Email doesn’t cut it when it comes to expressing gratitude.
寄感谢卡
向那些记得你毕业的人寄手写的感谢卡。当要表达感谢时，发电子邮件并不合适。
