Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and this is the closest Ive ever gotten to a college graduation. Today, I want to tell you three stories from my life. Thats it. No big deal. Just three stories. ?今天，很荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。我从来没从大学毕业过，说实话，这是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。今天，我只说三个故事，不谈大道理，三个故事就好。 [2]The first story is about connecting the dots. 第一个故事，是关于人生中的点点滴滴如何串连在一起。 I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. 我在里德学院（Reed College）待了六个月就办休学了。到我退学前quit），一共休学drop-in）了十八个月。So why did I drop out?那么，我为什么休学？（听众笑）It started before I was born. 这得从我出生前讲起。[4]My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. 我的亲生母亲当时是个研究生，年轻未婚妈妈，她决定让别人收养我。 [4-1]She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife -- except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.她强烈觉得应该让有大学毕业的人收养我，所以我出生时，她就准备让我被一对律师夫 妇收养。但是这对夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了，他们想收养女孩。 So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, Weve got an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?
