During Clinton’s lecture at Peking University, because he used his own translator the whole time, I guessed that many Chinese viewers only knew that Clinton was definitely saying something, but what he said wasn’t all that clear. So near the end of my live poadcast, I remarked that it looked like for America to learn more about China, sometimes it needed to start with language, though for our two countries, face-to-face was always better than back-to-back. It was also at the beginning of that year that I drove the first car in my life. For me this was unimaginable before, that Chinese people one day would also drive their own cars. A personal delight can also make a lasting impression, because sometimes the first time is the most unforgettable.
在北大的克林顿的演讲当中，由于整个克林顿总统的演讲，用的全是美方所提供的翻译，我猜想有很多的中国观众，是一直知道克林顿的确在说话，但是说的是什么不太清楚。所以我在直播结束的时候，说了这样的一番话，我说看样子美国需要对中国有更多的了解，有的时候要从语言开始，而对于中美这两个国家来说，面对面 永远要好过背对背。当然也是在这一年年初，我开上了我人生的第一辆车。这是我在我过去从来不会想到的，中国人有一天也可以开自己的车。个人的喜悦，也会让你印象很久，因为往往第一次才是最难忘的。
In 2008, I was 40. The words “I have a dream” that haven’t been discussed for many years now were heard among so many Americans. It seemed like Obama really did not want to accept Yale’s 20-year occupation of America. Using words like “change” and “dream”, he even convinced Yale teachers and students to parade and celepate his election to the Presidency, according to what I’ve heard.
2008这一年，我四十岁。很多年大家不再谈论的“我有一个梦想”这句话，在这一年我听到太多的美国人在讲。看样子奥巴马的确不想再接受耶鲁占领美国二十 年这样的事实了。他用“改变”以及“梦想”这样的词汇，让耶鲁大学的师生在为他当选总统之后，听说你们举行了游行，甚至庆祝。
But this was also a year in which the Chinese Dream showed clearly. After encountering many setbacks as any grand dream in the world is destined to, it came through. Whether it was the long-awaited Beijing Olympics, or the first spacewalk by a Chinese aboard the Shenzhou 7, these were all dreams which we have waited for a long time since a long time ago. But the sudden Sichuan Earthquake made all this not as magnificent as we had expected. Eighty-thousand lives departed, and made every day of 2008 seem like a year. I’m guessing that on Yale’s campus, on every web site, in front of television and newspapers, were also many people from China, and people in all parts of the world, who shed tears for these lost lives. Just like forty years ago when Mr. Martin Luther King fell but allowed the words “I have a dream” to stand higher, more enduring, and seem ever more valuable, more Chinese people also came to understand that dreams are important, but lives are even more so.
而这一年也是中国梦非常明显的一年。它就像全世界所有的伟大的梦想都要注定要遭受很多的挫折一样显现出来。无论是期待了很久的北京奥运会，还是神舟七号中国人第一次在太空当中行走，那都是很多年前我们期待了很久的一个梦想。但是，突如其来的四川大地震，让这一切都变得没有我们期待中的那么美好。八万个生命 的离开，让整个2008年中国人度日如年。我猜得到在耶鲁校园里头，在每一个网页、电视以及报纸的前面，也有很多的来自中国的人，以及世界各地的人们，为这些生命流下眼泪。但是就像四十年前马丁路德金先生倒下，却让“我有一个梦想”这句话站得更高，站得更久，站得更加让人觉得极其有价值一样，更多的中国人 也明白了，梦想很重要。但是生命更重要。
During the Olympics, I passed my own fortieth birthday. That day I was full of emotional thoughts, because when the day of my birthday approached, I was poadcasting an exciting competition. Twenty-four hours later, when my birthday was passing, I was still poadcasting. But that day I felt very fortunate. Because it was such a special fortieth birthday at the Beijng Olympics that made me realize the Chinese Dream behind my personal story.
在北京奥运会期间，我度过了自己的四十岁的生日。那一天我感慨万千，因为时间进入到我的生日那一天的时候，我在直播精彩的比赛。二十四小时之后，当这个时间要走出我生日这一天的时候，我也依然在直播。但是这一天我觉得我非常的幸运。因为正是这样一个特殊的，在北京奥运会期间的四十岁，让我意识到了我的故事 背后的中国梦。
