美国新任驻华大使骆家辉宣誓就职仪式（视频）

But think about the story that Gary takes with him, the son of an immigrant family from China who didn’t learn to speak English until he started school, whose grandfather came to the United States from China in the 1890s and worked as a house servant in return for English lessons, whose father and mother worked in their mom-and-pop grocery seven days a week, 365 days a year, so their five children would have better lives. The Locke family understood what the American dream meant. They knew that it was an opportunity and not a guarantee, and that they had to do their part to be able to take advantage of what this country offered.

不过，想想加里自身的经历，作为来自中国的移民家庭的儿子，直到上学才学习说英语。19世纪90年代，他祖父从中国来到美国，以给人作家仆换取学习英语的机会。他父母亲在他们开的夫妻杂货店工作，一周7天，一年365天，为了让他们的五个孩子过上更好的日子。骆家全家都知道美国梦的意义。他们知道这是一个机会，但不是保证。他们必须尽自己的努力，才能获得这个国家提供的机会。

And Gary did – an honor student, an Eagle Scout, scholarships, all kinds of experiences at Yale and getting his law degree at Boston University, and then returning to Washington to become a state representative and a county executive of King County and a two-time governor of Washington State, until recently, when he became our Secretary of Commerce.
