in this insanely complex world to the child
that was you,
as you asked a bazillion questions like
'how does the moon work'
and'why can we eat salad but not grass.'
And maybe they didn't do it perfectly.
No one ever can.
Maybe they aren't with us anymore,
and in that case I hope you'll
remember them today.
If they are here in this stadium,
I hope you'll find your own way to
express your gratitude for all the steps and
missteps that have led us to this common destination.
今天在座诸位能取得如此荣耀,都非独自一人完成,
而是那些爱我们的人造就了我们,
他们与我们一起憧憬未来、怜悯善待我们,
与我们分享逆耳忠言.
他们会在毫无把握的情况下,告诉我们,我们可以做到.
他们会给你分享故事,教会你为梦想努力,
告诉你如何判断是非.
他们会倾力向你解释这个疯狂而复杂的世界里的每一个概念,
只因作为小孩的你提了千千万万个问题,
比如“月亮是如何工作的“和“为什么我们可以吃沙拉而不吃草“.
也许他们回答得并不完美,也许没有人能够做到完美.
也许他们已经不在我们身边,如果是这样,
我希望你能在今天缅怀他们.
如果他们在现场,我希望你以自己的方式表达感激之情,
感激他们伴你为实现这一目标而经历的好与坏.
