See if you can I.D. me. I`m a year in the late 20th century, Bill Clinton was the U.S. president and John Paul II was the pope. There`s no World Series due to a strike in Major League Baseball. And Dallas won the Super Bowl. And Arkansas won the NCAA men`s basketball championship.

你能猜出我么?我是20世纪后期中的一年,这一年比尔克林顿是美国总统,约翰保罗为教皇大教主,因为美国职业棒球联盟罢工没有举行世界棒球大赛,达拉斯赢得超级碗荣誉,阿肯色州赢得NCAA男子篮球冠军。

I`m 1994. Also, the year that "Friends: debut on TV.

这一年就是1994年,也是这一年,老友记登上荧屏。

Of course, it`s hard to imagine what your life will be like 20 years from now. But the teams you are now following, the shows you`re watching. Maybe even a new story you`ve seen, we`ll all be part of your history in 2034. What would you tell your future self in a letter? A teacher in Canada is making sure his students get a look back at themselves from themselves.

当然,很难想象从现在开始20年后你会过着什么样的生活,但是你现在支持的团队,看的节目,甚至从来没有听过的一个故事都会在2034年成为历史。在信里,你会对未来的自己说什么?加拿大一位老师确信他的学生回顾了自己以前的日子。

Last week, a trip to the mail box was a trip back in time for Scott Fulton. Back to 1994 when he wrote a letter to his future self.

上周,一封投入邮箱的信件又重新回到了斯科特富尔顿手里。回到了1994年他写给未来自己的那一天。

November 30, 1994.

Dear Scott - myself.

1994年11月30号

亲爱的斯科特,我自己

Hey, how are you? I`m fine. Do you remember why are you getting this letter?

嗨,你好吗?我很好。你还记得你为什么会收到这封信么?

It was an assignment from his grade nine English teacher Bruce Farrow.

这是他九年级英语老师布鲁斯的一项任务。

This one I wasn`t allowed to read. Confidential.He started it back in 1961. The assignment - write a ten page letter to your future self.

我不允许读这封信,要保密。他把时间拨回到1961年,任务就是给未来的自己写一封十页的信。

The motivation to write it - look at where you are going and decide OK, what is it I want to do with myself? And so, they would write about where they wanted to end up.

写这封信的目的是,想知道你要去哪,不错的想法,我想干什么?然后他们会写到他们想怎样结束。

Then, 20 years later, Farrer tracks down his former students. Over the years, he`s mailed out more than 1000 letters. Fulton is humbled by Mr. Farrer`s dedication and the expectations of his 14-year old self.

20年后,法雷尔找到他之前的学生,过了这么多年,他需要邮寄的信件多大1000多封。富尔顿被法雷尔先生的全心投入和14岁自己满心憧憬所感动。

So, anyway, are you married? To whom? I`ve always wondered if would get married to someone that I already know or someone I`ll meet later on in life. Not married.

不说别的了,你结婚了么?和谁?我总是想知道如果要结婚的话是找一个认识的人还是找一个以后日子里遇见的人,所以现在还没有结婚。

So, I`m assuming you have some children right now? No.

我很好奇你现在有孩子了么?没有。

Did you find anything really surprising in your life, that you .

你发现你生命的精彩了么?那就是你。

On this day, teacher and student reunite. And even though Fulton didn`t imagine it, he is now a teacher, too. And he just gave this same assignment to his students.

在这一天,老师和学生重聚在一起。甚至令富尔顿没有想象到的是,他自己也成为了一名老师,也留给了学生同样的任务。

Yeah, I have no regrets on my life so far for my vantage point, and if I was to, you know, talk to my 14-year old self, I think - I think we`d high five one another.

现在为止我的人生没有留下遗憾,如果我可以和14岁时的我聊天的话,我觉得我们肯定会聊得特别开心。

Gwen - Oh, I remember, her.

格温,哦,我记得,是她。

As for Mr. Farrer, he`s been retired for 12 years, but he`s still fulfilling his promise. And that`s not an easy assignment.

现在法雷尔先生已经退休12年了,但是仍然在履着自己的诺言,这可不是个简单的任务。

20-26. That`s when he`ll mail his last letter.

20到26岁之间,是他邮寄他最后一封信件的时候。

See if you can I.D. me. I`m a year in the late 20th century, Bill Clinton was the U.S. president and John Paul II was the pope. There`s no World Series due to a strike in Major League Baseball. And Dallas won the Super Bowl. And Arkansas won the NCAA men`s basketball championship.
