In the past twenty years, China has faced three American presidents, but till coming to Yale today, I never realized that China really just faced one university. Although, through these three presidents, I understand that the quality of Yale graduates is not so even.
在過去的二十年中，中國一直在跟美國的三任總統，但是今天到了耶魯，我從來沒有意識到，中國真的面臨一個大學。雖然，透過這三位總統，我的理解是，耶魯大學的畢業生的質量甚至是不。
Let me begin my main subject and let me give it a title, called “My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It”. I want to talk about five particular years. The first is 1968. That year I was born. But it was also a chaotic year for the world. In France, there was this huge street disturbance, and in America, too. Then President Kennedy was assassinated. However, I really did not cause all of these! But that year what we remember more was the assassination of Mr. Martin Luther King. Although he fell that year, his words “I have a dream” stood up, not only stood up in America, but across the whole world.
讓我開始我的主題，讓我給它一個名稱，叫《我的故事以及背後的中國夢”。我想談五年份。第一個是1968。那年我出世。但它也是一個混亂的一年中為世界。在法國，有巨大的街頭的騷亂，在美國，太。然後美國的總統甘乃迪遇刺。然而，我真的沒有造成所有這些!但是那一年我們更應該記住的是馬丁先生路德金遇刺。雖然那一年他倒下了，他說“我有一個夢想”的站了起來，不僅在美國，而且在全世界。
But sadly, not only for me, but for almost all Chinese, we did not know such a dream. It was hard to describe each Chinese as having his or her own dream. China and America were so far apart, no less far apart than the Moon and the Earth. But I didn’t care about any of that. All I cared about was could I have a full meal. Clearly, I was born at a very inconvenient time, not only for China, but even for the world, there were problems.
但可悲的是，不僅是我，但幾乎所有的中國人，我們不知道這樣一個夢想。很難描述每一個中國人擁有自己的夢想。中國和美國是到目前為止分開，沒有比月球與地球相距遠不如。但我不在乎那些。我關心的是我能吃上一頓飽飯。顯然，我是出世在不方便的時間，不僅對中國，而且對世界，有問題。
