爷爷告诉我:20岁应该知道的20件事
As college doors start to swish and swing open, slurping young people backin for fall classes, I feel compelled to put my hand up and say, "Wait, youforgot something."
大学校园已经慢慢敞开大门,迎接那些即将在秋季入学的年轻人们,我必须举起手说:“等等,你们忘了什么事。”
I have something I want to tell them before they head back up theuniversity's hill to walk new halls, meet new faces and make new decisions thatcould change their lives. What I wish I had known.
在他们抬头挺胸进入大学校园,认识新朋友,做出影响一生的决定之前,有些事我想要告诉他们。一些我希望知道的事。
Precious young person, before you leave, can you turn off your phone andlet me share something valuable with you? I know you think I am too old tounderstand you, but I promise, some days I feel closer to your age than I do myown. I haven't forgotten.
年轻人,在你们离开之前,能否关掉手机,让我与你们分享一些重要的事情?我知道你们认为我太老,不能理解你们,但我保证,年轻时候的事情我甚至记得比现在发生的事情还清楚。我从没忘记。
What I see in front of me is a life that is valuable and worth more thanyou can possibly know today. I hope to save you a lot of time, pain andregret.
在我面前展开的生活如此珍贵,你们难以想象。我希望帮你们节约时间,减少痛苦和悔恨。
