And if you’re lucky, you have parents like mine. I consider my mom my lucky charm. And when I was 12 years old, my father handed me a movie camera, the tool that allowed me to make sense of this world. And I am so grateful to him for that. And I am grateful that he’s here at Harvard, sitting right down there.
如果你足够幸运,你会有像我父母一样开明的父母。我把母亲看做我的幸运女神。12岁时,我父亲给了我一个电影摄像机,也是因为有了这个,我可以更好地去感知这个世界,我很感谢我的父亲。现在我很感激父亲也来到哈佛,坐在这里。
My dad is 99 years old, which means he’s only one year younger than Widener Library. But unlike Widener, he’s had zero cosmetic work. And dad, there’s a lady behind you, also 99, and I’ll introduce you after this is over, okay?
我父亲今年99岁了,只比怀德纳图书馆(哈佛最大的图书馆今年100年)年轻1岁,但不像这个图书馆可以翻新,父亲已垂垂老矣。另外,父亲,在你身后有一位99岁的女士,这个之后我会介绍你给她,好吗?
But look, if your family’s not always available, there’s backup. Near the end of It’s a Wonderful Life — you remember that movie, It’s a Wonderful Life? Clarence the Angel inscribes a book with this: “No man is a failure who has friends.” And I hope you hang on to the friendships you’ve made here at Harvard. And among your friends, I hope you find someone you want to share your life with. I imagine some of you in this yard may be a tad cynical, but I want to be unapologetically sentimental. I spoke about the importance of intuition and how there’s no greater voice to follow. That is, until you meet the love of your life. And this is what happened when I met and married Kate, and that became the greatest character-defining moment of my life.
