[00:00.03]One of my fondest memories of William, one time when he was a little boy, he was at my house, 我对威廉最深刻的一次记忆是在他还是个小男孩的时候。他当时在我家做客， [00:06.03]and I used to collect these antique museum quality Sharker boxes, 我过去常收集一些古董盒子， [00:13.37]and I walked into the room and William has my one of a kind Sharker boxes 我走进房间，看见威廉拿着我的一个古董盒子， [00:19.42]and he's stacking them up like Bric A Blocs and knocking them down and going, "Vroom." 把它们像堆积木一样堆起来，然后再推到，还发出“呜——呜——”的声音。 [00:27.37]And I yelled, just— I just started —I said, "No, William, stop!" 看见这个，我就开始大声喊了起来，“威廉姆，停下来！” [00:34.14]I think I stunned the boy, because he wasn't used to anybody yelling at him, and he stopped, 我想我肯定把这孩子给吓着了，因为他不习惯任何人对他大声喊叫，他停了下来， [00:40.00]he put the boxes back on the shelf and he found where he found them and he did not say a word to me. He didn't even cry. 把盒子放回到架子上，一句话也没跟我说。他甚至没有哭。 [00:48.09]And a little later on, he goes up to his mom and he says,"Mom, Auntie O is mean. Can we go home?" 过了一会儿，他走到他妈妈那儿说，“妈妈，奥普拉阿姨太小气了，咱们回家好吗？” [00:58.52]Well， William, Auntei O has some news for you. You're getting those scratchedup boxes for your graduation gift. 威廉，奥普拉阿姨要告诉你一些消息。我将会把这些有抓痕的盒子作为毕业礼物送给你。 [01:07.43]You can knock them down all you want. 你想怎么推到它们都可以。 [01:09.14]But seriously, I don't know a better young man in the world than William Bumpus, 说实话，威廉·彭勃斯是我在这个世界上认识的最优秀的年轻人。 [01:17.24]and thank you, Duke, for making him an even greater young man. 感谢杜克大学，让他变得更加优秀了。 [01:22.57]And I have to say he is so kind and do generous of spirit. 他真的很善良，很慷慨。威廉，我真希望有你这么一个儿子， [01:27.17]William, you're the son I wish I'd had, and I'm thrilled to be here for you. Love you, Willzer. 所以因为你我来到这里。我感觉很激动。爱你，威廉！
