I can remember my own college graduation, which is easy, since it was only 14 years ago. How many of you took 37 years to graduate? Because, like most of you, I began college in my teens, but sophomore year, I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios, so I dropped out. I told my parents if my movie career didn’t go well, I’d re-enroll.
我记得我自己的大学毕业典礼,这不难,因为就是14年以前的事情。你们当中的多少人花了37年才毕业?因为就像你们中的多数人,我在十几岁时进入大学,但是大二的时候我从环球影城获得了我的梦想工作,所以我休学了。我跟我的父母说,如果我的电影事业不顺,我会重新上学的。
It went all right.
我的电影事业发展得还行。(同学们大笑了~)
But eventually, I returned for one big reason. Most people go to college for an education, and some go for their parents, but I went for my kids. I’m the father of seven, and I kept insisting on the importance of going to college, but I hadn’t walked the walk. So, in my fifties, I re-enrolled at Cal State — Long Beach, and I earned my degree.
但是我最后还是回到了学校,主要为了一个原因。很多人为了获得教育去上大学,有的人为了父母上大学,而我是为了我的孩子去上的。我是7个孩子的爸爸,我总是不断强调上大学的重要性,可我自己都没上过。所以在我50多岁的时候,我重新进入加州州立大学长滩分校,获得了学位。
