And when the severely 1 injured soldier— what we did was we went and found one of the soldiers who had recived a dog and brought him back to the prison so that he could meet the prisoners— who trained the dog. And when they met, I tell you, the audience and I were a puddle 2 of tears. And what I learned from that I want to share with you, graduates. If youcan find a way to give back just as these felons 3 are giving from behind bars, you will be a huge success, because for sure one of the things I've learned is that the best way to enhance your own life is to contribute to somebody else's.
我么节目组要做的事是从中找到一个接受小狗的老兵，把他带到监狱去，这样他就能看见训练这只小狗的犯人了。最后我找了一个严重受伤的老兵。他和犯人见面的那一瞬间，我告诉你们，我们这些旁观者的眼泪夺眶而出。毕业生们，我想与你们分享自己从那件事中学到的东西。如果你们能够找到一种回报的方式，就像这些重罪犯们在监狱里所做的回报一样，你们定会大有作为，因为我领悟到的一个真理就是：丰富人生的最好方式就是为他人的生活做些贡献。
Now, last year we did a story on a woman named Monica George, and people often ask, you know,"Who's your favorite guest, who's your favorite guest," and they always expect me to name some movie star. Well, if it's a movie star, it would be Hugh Jackman. He is one of my favorite guest, and you can imagine why.
去年，我们播放了莫妮卡·乔治的故事。别人常常问我：“你最喜欢的嘉宾是谁，你最喜欢的嘉宾是哪个？”你们知道他们总是期盼着我会说出某个影视明星的名字。如果一定要说某个明星的话，我会说是休·杰克曼。他确实是我最喜欢的嘉宾之一，你们可以想象为什么。
But my favorite guests are, for the most part, not celebrities 4 and not people who've done famous or infamous 5 things. My most favorite guests are ordinary people who've accomplished 6 extrordinary triumphs in her life, and Monica George is one of those people I will never forget. She and her husband, Tony, were overjoyed at the C-section birth of a healthy baby girl named Sophie and Sophie was their second daughter. This was just last year.
然而我最喜欢的嘉宾中，大部分不是名人，不是那些名声显赫或者声名狼藉的人。我最喜欢的嘉宾往往是那些生活中有着非凡事迹的普通人。莫妮卡·乔治就是这些我永远不会忘记的人中的一个。就在去年，她和丈夫托尼都还沉浸在剖腹产下第二个女儿所到来的欢乐中，他们给这个健康可爱的孩子取名索菲。
