公众人物毕业演讲第136期:2013年克林顿在霍华德大学(15)（打印版）

　　I said, through my interpreter, what's the word in your... do you have a word in your language that could be a name that means new beginning?

　　我通过翻译问她你们有没有一个词你们的语言中有没有一个能用来做名字的词语意为新的开始

　　And this woman got a big smile on her face, and she said to me through the interpreter, she said yes, lucky for you

　　这位女士挂着大大的笑容通过翻译告诉我她说有的正巧

　　In our language, the word dawn DAWN is a boy's name, not a girl's name

　　在我们的语言中黎明这个词可以用作男孩的名字不是女孩的名字

　　We will name this boy Dawn

　　我们给这个男孩起名叫黎明

　　And he will be the symbol of our new beginning

　　他会象征着我们的新的开始

　　I am telling you this because no matter what happens to you,

　　我跟你们讲这个故事是因为无论你们遇到什么挫折

　　it is highly unlikely that you will ever face anything as awful as what happened to that mother and father

　　你们基本不可能会面临着比这家的父亲母亲还要悲惨的遭遇

　　They somehow found the strength to treasure the one who remained, and to serve others

　　他们找到了力量去珍爱幸存的孩子去为大众服务

　　That is the heritage you take with you from Howard

　　这就是你们从霍华德离开时要继承的传统

　　That is what your people are doing in Rwanda half a world away

　　这就是和你们一样的人在半个地球之外的卢旺达在做的事情

　　If you do what makes you happy, and you don't give up, and you keep serving,

　　如果你们能做让自己感到开心的事而且不言放弃为大众而服务

　　I think you will live the most interesting, prosperous and peaceful time in human history
