94岁老太太下月大学毕业

        Born in Richmond on June 21, 1915, Soares traces her interest in art history back to age 11 and the impression made on her the first time she saw Michelangelo's "David" in the Book of Knowledge. In 1996, at age 80, she traveled to Florence, Italy, to see the sculpture for herself.

　　苏亚雷斯于1915年6月21日在列治文出生，11岁时在百科全书上看到米开朗基罗的大卫雕像后开始对艺术产生兴趣，1996年，当时80岁的苏亚雷斯还亲自到意大利看大卫像。

　　But setting records isn't what motivated Soares to renew her lifelong quest for education when she enrolled at Chabot Community College in the mid-1980s and settled on an art history major in Mills College in 2005. "I've always had a basic curiosity about how to do things, whether it's a (cooking) recipe or identifying pieces of art in historical context," she said.

　　苏亚雷斯于上世纪八十年代中期在夏堡社区大学上课，2005年转学到密尔斯大学后主修艺术史。她重拾书本不是为了创纪录，苏亚雷斯说：“我对任何事一直都有求知欲，不论是食谱或监定艺术品的历史背景，我都非常有兴趣。”

　Then she plans to start looking for a job where she can use the skills and knowledge she acquired at the prestigious, private women's undergraduate college. "I'd like to be a docent in a museum," Soares said. Soares still drives and she is as healthy as a horse.

　　苏亚雷斯计划在毕业后开始找工作，运用她在大学时学到的知识和技能，她说：“我希望能在博物馆里当导游。”苏亚雷斯身体非常健康，还能开车。

　　Soares just might qualify as the second-oldest student in the world to ever earn a college degree. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Nola Ochs, 95, is the oldest person to ever graduate from college.

　　苏亚雷斯有可能排在世界最年长大学生第二位。根据吉尼斯世界纪录，95岁的诺拉.欧克斯是至今全世界最年长的大学毕业生。欧克斯于2007年从堪萨斯州海斯堡州立大学取得历史学学位。
