In my adolescent years on the foothills of Himalayas, I had a friend we all referred to as the "dreamy guy." He would spend his days enjoying the smallest of things – color-tagging butterflies, counting peaks on the horizon, making stories out of cloud formations. He was a happy soul, deeply receptive to life's beauties and easily excited. I knew this guy many years ago and I thought about him today as I sat down to write this piece for you, dear class of 2013. 我在喜马拉雅山的山脚下度过了青春岁月，当时有个朋友被我们称为“追梦人”。他每天都在享受最微妙的乐趣——用五颜六色标注蝴蝶、数地平线上的高峰，对着形状各异的云朵编故事。他是个快乐的家伙，对生活的美妙深有体会，容易兴奋激动。亲爱的2013届毕业生，我认识这家伙很多年了，今天我坐下来给你们写这篇文章的时候，突然想到了他。 As you graduate, my friends, remember what lies ahead of you is a world overflowing with beauty and potential; not just in the form of office corridors or Wall Street but a real, throbbing world, full of many mysteries and heady experiences. A number of us miss this simple truth. 亲爱的朋友，你们即将毕业，呈现在你面前的世界拥有美好的前景和潜力；这个世界并不仅仅以办公室走廊或华尔街的形式出现，而是令人激动不已的真实世界，充满许多未解之谜，以及让人陶醉的体验。我们当中许多人都忽略了这个简单的真理。 |
