coming to the yale campus, with its distinctive（distinctive有特色的,特殊的 distinctive features 特点 soldiers often have distinctive insignias on their lapels. 士兵的翻领上常佩有特殊的军阶识别符号。） academic flavor, and looking at the eager young faces in the audience, i cannot but recall my great experience studying at qinghua university in beijing40 years ago. indeed, what happens during one s school year will influence his whole life. i still benefit greatly from the instruction and my interaction with other students.
yale is renowned for its long history, unique way of teaching and excellence in academic pursuit. if time could go back several decades, i would really like to be a student of yale just like you.
yale s motto “light and truth,” which is a calling for human progress, represents the aspiration of every motivated young man and woman. over the past three centuries, yale has produced a galaxy of outstanding figures, including20 nobel laureates and five american presidents. the words of nathan hale, an american hero and yale alumnus（alumnus kk: [ ] dj: [ ] n1. 【主美】男校友;男女合校之男女校友 ）, “i only regret that i have but one life to lose for my country,” have also inspired me and many other chinese. i sincerely hope that yale will produce more talent and contribute further to the social and economic development of the united states and the cause of human progress.
