[00:00.18] My Dad was valedictorian of Flint Mandeville High School class of 1956 about 90 kids. 我父亲曾作为学生代表在毕业典礼上致辞。 [00:06.05] I happened across his graduating speech recently, and it blew me away. 53 years ago my Dad said:" We are entering a changing world, 我最近看到他的毕业演讲，震住了。他说，这是一个瞬息万变的时代， [00:17.28] one of automation and employment change where education is an economic necessity. We will have increased periods of time to do as we wish, 一个科学技术和人才就业在不断变革的时代，教育成为发展的必需品。我们有更多的时间做想做的事， [00:26.47] as our work week and retirement age continue to decline and we wish that were true. 因为工时减少，退休提前，我们期待这一刻的到来。 [00:32.26] We shall take part in, or witness, developments in science, medicine, and industry that we can only dream of today. 参与或见证科学、医学、工业的飞速发展。 [00:40.56] It is said that the future of any nation can be determined by the care and preparation given to its youth. 人们说，一个国家的未来取决于对年轻人培养。 [00:47.28] If all the youths of America were as fortunate in securing an education as we have been, 如果所有美国青年能像我们一样接受教育， [00:52.54] then the future of the United States would be even more bright than it is today." 美国的前景会更加光明; [00:59.00]If my Dad were alive today, the thing I think he would be most happy about is that Lucy and I have a baby in the hopper. 如果父亲还在世，他会为即将出世的小孙子而高兴， [01:09.48] I think he would have been annoyed that I had not gotten my Ph.D. yet. 也我没获得博士学位而揪心。 [01:18.53] Thanks, Michigan! 感谢密歇根大学! [01:20.12] Dad was so full of insights, of excitement about new things, that to this day, I often wonder what he would think about some new development. 他对于新事物总有着敏锐的观察，并充满热情。我时常幻想，他会如何看待现在的变化。 [01:29.50] If he were here today. 如果他还在， [01:31.30] Well, it would be one of the best days of his life. 这会是他人生中最美好的时光。 [01:35.01] He 'd be like a kid in a candy store. 他会像在糖果店的孩子那样开心， [01:37.40] For a day, he 'd be young again. 他会重新年轻起来。 [01:41.22] Many of us are fortunate enough to be here with family. 我们大部分人都很幸运， [01:44.02] Some of us have dear friends and family to go home to. 有家人为伴，有朋友相随， [01:47.22] And who knows, perhaps some of you, like Lucy and I, are dreaming about future families of your own. 可能有些人正在憧憬和另一半的未来。 [01:53.52] Just like me, your families brought you here, and you brought them here. 当初家人带你来此读书，如今他们见证你毕业。 [01:59.19] Please keep them close and remember: they are what really matters in life. 请务必珍惜!记住——他们才是你们生命中最重要的人!
