        布朗大学于2011年5月29日星期日下午举行的第243届毕业典礼上,向十位人士颁发了荣誉学位。按照布朗大学的传统,学位以拉丁文授予。布朗大学校长路斯·西蒙斯为每位获颁学位者宣读了褒奖词。在为北岛颁发文学博士(Doctor of Letters, Litt.D.) 的褒奖词中,他说:
        你用深邃的、充满力量、让人难以忘怀的诗句,向你的祖国和世界发出了声音,谱写自由和表达的乐章。你曾经写道:“我不相信天是蓝的,我不相信雷的回声,我不相信梦是假的,我不相信死无报应。”从天安门广场到更远处,这些诗句激励着青年们改变世界的热望。作为一份民间文学杂志的创始人和出版者,你常常不惜以自身和家人付出的巨大代价,为你的同胞创造并培育一个向世界表达自己的平台。为了你对于人性根本之美德的坚持不懈的信仰、为了你对于书写文字之力量的信心,为了你对于人类之自由的深切的信念,我们授予你文学博士学位以致敬意。
         Through your insightful, powerful, and haunting poems you have given voice to a movement of freedom and expression in your home country and abroad. You once wrote: “I don’t believe the sky is blue; I don’t believe in thunder’s echoes; I don’t believe that dreams are false; I don’t believe that death has no revenge.” From Tiananmen Square and beyond, these words have inspired young people yearning for change. As the founder and publisher of an underground literary journal you have, often at great personal cost to yourself and your family, created and nurtured a platform for your fellow citizens to express themselves to the world. For your persistent faith in the fundamental goodness of humanity and the power of the written word and for your deep belief in freedom for all, we honor you with the degree of Doctor of Letters, honoris causa.
        Acuta valida inquietantia, carmina tua ab omnibus gentibus magnifice laudata sunt, quibus verbis venustis linguam Sinensem civi, homini privato, animo concipienti gaudia futura recuperavisti. Olim haec edidisti, “non credo caelum caeruleum, non credo tonitrua ubique resonare, non credo ea quae in somniis visa sunt falsa esse, atque non credo Mortem inultam esse.” Quae carmina iam inde a caede in Foro Caelestis Pacis perque totas gentes spem iuvenibus reddere meliorem orbem terrarum desiderantibus addiderunt. Ephemeride litterarum autem condita oppressaque magno cum malo tuo copias poetis sociis ad edenda carmina eorum praebes. Propter ingenium atque fidem animi humani validitatisque carminum, te Doctorem Litterarum salutamus, honoris causa.

1、牧师宣布,请大家回家把「马可福音第十七章」念一遍,下礼拜要讲那一章。下主日,大家都来了。牧师问:「念过马可福音第十七章的人请举手。」大家都举手,牧师笑着说:「今天我的讲题乃是:『人都是说谎的』。马可福音只有十六章。」   2、有人告诉客座牧师,那教堂的会众常在讲道结束前离去。牧师听了,一起立就说:「今天早晨我将为两种人讲道。先给罪人讲,然后给圣洁的人讲。」他讲了一会,然后说第一部分讲道完毕,「罪人」可以走了。这一次人人都等到礼拜结束才走。
