And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’rea little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and youcould’vestayed inbedjust alittle bit longer thismorning. 我知道，今天是你们很多人开学的日子。对于进入小学预备班、初中或高中的学生，今天是 你们来到新学校的第一天，心里可能有点紧张，这是可以理解的。我能想象有些毕业班学生 现在感觉很不错——（掌声）——还有一年就毕业了。不论在哪个年级，你们有些人可能希 望暑假更长一点，今天早上还能多睡一小会儿。 I know that feeling. When I was young,my family livedoverseas. I livedin Indonesia fora few years. Andmy mother,she didn’t havethe money to sendme where alltheAmerican kids went to school,but she thought it was importantfor me to keep upwith anAmerican education. So shedecidedto teach me extra lessonsherself,Monday throughFriday.But because shehadtogo towork, theonly time she coulddo it was at 4:30 in themorning. 我了解这种感觉。我小时候，我们家生活在海外。我在印度尼西亚住了几年。我妈妈没有钱 送我上其他美国孩子上的学
