“从中国边远农村一个传统的农民家庭走出来成为哈佛毕业生是一条很长很长的路。”当地时间5月26日，哈佛大学第365届毕业典礼在哈佛最古老的校园区Harvard Yard里举行。今年的毕业典礼备受中国青年学生和家长关注，因为一位来自中国的毕业生何江作为优秀毕业生代表发言，这是哈佛大学给予毕业生的最高荣誉。

When a poisonous spider bit a young Jiang He on the hand, his mother put a chopstick in his mouth, wrapped his hand in wine-soaked cotton, and set the cotton on fire.

当一只毒蜘蛛咬了小何江的手时，妈妈在她嘴里塞了一根筷子，把用酒浸过的棉布裹在他手上，把棉布点燃。

As Jiang explained in his speech, there is some scientific basis for this folk remedy, the only kind available in his native village in China’s Hunan Province. Nevertheless, the searing pain he felt that day drove Jiang to seek out more modern answers in biochemistry.

何江在演讲中说，这个土方子有那么点科学道理，这是他湖南农村唯一的治疗办法。然而，钻心的疼痛让他开始寻求生物化学领域更为现代的答案。

It was a long way to graduate school at Harvard from the remote, rural village where Jiang grew up in a traditional farming family. The village didn’t get electricity until the 1990s, and the Jiangs continued using oil lamps to save money. They and their neighbors dug their own wells for drinking water.
