If my Dad was alive today, the thing I think he would be most happy about is that Lucy and I have a baby in the hopper. I think he would been annoyed that I hadn't gotten my Ph. D yet (thanks, Michigan!). Dad was so full of insights, of excitement about new things, that to this day, I often wonder what he would think about some new development. If he were here today--well, it would be one of the best days of his life. He'd be like a kid in a candy store. For a day, he'd be young again.
如果我的父亲能活到今天，我想他最开心的莫过于看到露西我和即将拥有自己的孩子。我想他会因为我还没能拿到博士学位而相当烦恼（谢谢你，密歇根大学）。我的父亲是一位对新事物充满洞悉力和激情的人，如果他活到今天，他一定会有新的想法。如果他今天也能来到这里——那将会是他人生中最美好的日子之一。他会像个在糖果店里的孩子一样，有一天，又会年轻的。
Many of us are fortunate enough to be here with family. Some of us have dear friends and family to go home to. And who knows, perhaps some of you, like Lucy and I, are dreaming of future families of your own. Just like me, your families brought you here, and you brought them here. Please keep them close and remember: they are what really matters in life.
我们中很多人都很幸运，能够在这里和家人们一起。我们中的一些还可以和亲友家人一起回家。而谁又知道，也许你们中也有人，像露西和我一样，也梦想着将来有自己的家庭。就像我一样，你们的家人把你们带到这里，而你们又把他们带到这里。请和他们保持亲密，并且记住：他们才是生命中真正至关重要的部分。
Thanks, Mom; Thanks, Lucy. And thank you, all, very much.
感谢妈妈，感谢露西，感谢你们大家，非常感谢。
