你们要研究过去,才能建设一个更好的未来。《侏罗纪公园》的编剧Michael Crichton是从这所大学的医学院毕业的。他喜欢引用他最喜欢的一位教授的话,他说如果你不懂得历史,那么你一无所知。你是一片树叶,不知道自己只是树的一部分。所以主修历史的同学们,很棒的选择,你的前景不错…不是说在招聘市场上啊,从文化上来说的话。
The rest of us have to make a little effort. Social media that we’re inundated and swarmed with is about the here and now. But I’ve been fighting and fighting inside my own family to get all my kids to look behind them, to look at what already has happened. Because to understand who they are is to understand who were were, and who their grandparents were, and then, what this country was like when they emigrated here. We are a nation of immigrants — at least for now.
我们剩下的其它人就需要努点力了。淹没和吞噬我们的社交媒体只关乎当下。但是我自己和家人都不断尝试,让我所有的孩子们能透过这些,去看过去发生过的事情。因为要知道他们是谁,就要去理解他们曾经是谁,他们的祖父母是谁,以及当他们移民到这个国家来的时候,这个国家到底是什么样。我们是一个移民国家——至少现在还是。
So to me, this means we all have to tell our own stories. We have so many stories to tell. Talk to your parents and your grandparents, if you can, and ask them about their stories. And I promise you, like I have promised my kids, you will not be bored.
