(Applause.) 大家好！谢谢你们。谢谢你们。谢谢你们大家。好，大家请就坐。你们今天都好吗？（掌声）蒂姆·斯派塞（Tim?Spicer）好吗？（掌声）我现在与弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿郡韦克菲尔德高中的学生们在一起。美国各地从小学预备班到中学12年级的学生正在收听收看。我很高兴大家今天都能参与。我还要感谢韦克菲尔德高中出色的组织安排。请为你们自己热烈鼓掌。（掌声） I?know?that?for?many?of?you,?today?is?the?first?day?of?school.?And?for?those?of?you?inkindergarten,?or?starting?middle?or?high?school,?it’s?your?first?day?in?a?new?school,?so?it’sunderstandable?if?you’re?a?little?nervous.?I?imagine?there?are?some?seniors?out?there?who?arefeeling?pretty?good?right?now?-- (applause) --?with?just?one?more?year?to?go.?And?no?matterwhat?grade?you’re?in,?some?of?you?are?probably?wishing?it?were?still?summer?and?you?could’vestayed?in?bed?just?a?little?bit?longer?this?morning. 我知道，今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生，今天是你们来到新学校的第一天，心里可能有点紧张，这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生现在感觉很不错——（掌声）——还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级，你们有些人可能希望暑假更长一点，今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。 I?know?that?feeling.?When?I?was?young,?my?family?lived?overseas.?I?lived?in?Indonesia?for?a?fewyears.?And?my?mother,?she?didn’t?have?the?money?to?send?me?where?all?the?American?kids?wentto?school,?but?she?thought?it?was?important?for?me?to?keep?up?with?an?American?education.?Soshe?decided?to?teach?me?extra?lessons?herself,?Monday?through?Friday.?But?because?she?had?togo?to?work,?the?only?time?she?could?do?it?was?at?4:30?in?the?morning. 我了解这种感觉。我小时候，我们家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我妈妈没有钱送我上其他美国孩子上的学校，但她认为必须让我接受美式教育。因此，她决定从周一到周五自己给我补课。不过她还要上班，所以只能在清晨四点半给我上课。 Now,?as?you?might?imagine,?I?wasn’t?too?happy?about?getting?up?that?early.?And?a?lot?of?times,I’d?fall?asl
