and, now … you follow. you right here, sitting there now, baking in the sun, thinking about the celtics game tomorrow, possibly nursing a hangover – there’s one down here i’ve been following – you’re saying, wow–that’s a lot of pressure. what can i do?
现在,你们走来了。你们就在这儿,坐在这儿,晒着太阳,想着明天凯尔特人球队的比赛,也许还未从昨日的宿醉中完全清醒过来——我一直在关注你们中的一位。你们大叫一声,哇,很有压力吧——那么,我能做什么呢?
where can i plant my kiss?

well, that’s your question to answer. i can’t do it for you. but, here’s what i know.
i know one thing for certain: no graduating class gets to choose the world they graduate into–just like you don’t get to choose your parents and siblings!
好吧,这是你需要自己回答的问题。我无法代劳。但是,我要说说我知道的东西。
我知道有一件事情是确定的:没有任何一届毕业班能够选择他们即将走入的社会,就像你们无法选择你们的父母和兄弟姐妹一样!

你们这一届也一样。

你代表了可能性,你将定义这个新时代。
Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen:
Consider the lowly toilet. Many of you may not think of the toilet as a form of technology if you think of toilets at all. But, it is and has contributed greatly to the improved health and overall quality of life for mankind.
On a recent trip to Japan, I was impressed by, among other things, a gadget in most public women's restrooms, called Otohime or Sound Princess. This device produces the sound of flushing water without the need for actual flushing. The technology saves the user both the embarrassment of being heard during urination and some 20 liters of water per use in cases where a woman might flush the toilet continuously while using it.
Every time I used Otohime, I felt like a princess, an environmentalist princess on the toilet.
It was a longed for feeling. Over the past decade, I shuffled in and out of many kinds of public restrooms in China--filthy smelly water closets in outlying areas, spacious luxurious lavatories in five-star hotels, forever-occupied girls' stalls on campus during school, and smart modern mobile toilets in international fairs. But not one single "room" evoked my pride of being a princess.
And I knew why the Sound Princess had. It was not because of the high technology the small bathroom boasted which is becoming ubiquitous worldwide. It was the idealism embodied in the technology that keeps reminding me that in this ever-changing world, I am a responsible and dignified human being even when sitting on a toilet.
Humanism, no matter how it is defined, aims to strike a balance between us being at the mercy of nature and being too human-centered. In my case, I haven't relieved myself under a tree for a while. I am a proud, dutiful Chinese citizen. Gone are the days when people just found a corner to do their business resulting in poor sanitation and threats to public health. The Otohimetechnology renders me two warnings: First, I am a humble human being with an obligation to save not only my face but also natural resources. Second, there is still a long way to go in my own country not just in developing technology and the economy, but also in upholding human dignity and promoting human welfare. Take the toilet: Dirty, crowdedtoilets shall, at least, give way to clean, human-friendly ones.
Fortunately, I have seen improvements. At Shanghai World Expo 2010, 8,000 toilets, all modern and technologically sophisticated, were installed across the site. What really delighted the visitors, however, was the user-friendly design and services. Toilets were situated every 100 meters. Several hundred volunteers served as toilet guides and sanitation workers. The ratio of female to male toilet space was set at 2.5 to 1. Soft music was played in the toilets. All this seems to celebrate the glory of comprehensive humanism.
Ladies and gentlemen, science and technology are here to improve earthly life and maximize human happiness. When our world benefits from technology, coupled with human considerations, we are bound to enjoy our life. Conversely, we suffer.
The toilet is a piece of sanitaryware and the quintessence of humanism that underlies technological innovation. Like GNP, employment rates, and space exploration efforts, the lowly equipment is an equally important measure of a progressive society. When on a toilet if we feel like a princess, we shall be proud of living in a society that values humanity. If not, we must stand up and make some changes.
And if you are still baffled with what I have said, I suggest you take off right now and go experience the bathrooms in this auditorium, because they are what makes our life beautiful or ugly, humanism considered or ignored.
今天,我做了一天的家务,好累呀!比如:洗衣服、浇花、收拾房间浇花:如果不用心浇的话,不几天叶子都黄了,客人来你家一看,花都没浇好,会笑你的'。
Today, I have been doing housework all day, so tired! For example: washing clothes, watering flowers, cleaning the room Water the flowers: if you dont need heart watering, the leaves will be yellow in a few days. When the guests come to your house, they dont water the flowers well, they will laugh at you.
收拾房间:收拾房间好累呀!如果我平时不乱扔乱放,今天就不会有这么累了。
Clean up the room: its so tired to clean up the room! If I didnt litter, I wouldnt be so tired today.
做了一天的家务劳动,我终于感受到了做妈妈的劳累,每天要上班、做饭,还要辅导我学习,她很累。
After a days housework, I finally feel the tired of being a mother. She has to go to work, cook and help me with my study every day. She is very tired.
我们要努力学习,长大成为一位科学家,研究出一个家务机器人,为家里干活,不让每一个妈妈每天劳累的干活。
We should study hard, grow up to be a scientist, develop a housework robot, work for the family, and not let every mother work hard every day.
