Hi, everybody.
Hi! So I don't have too much time up here, before my green card expires.
See I grew up in a poor neighborhood in China.
The middle school that I went to one year decided to pave the dirt roads with bricks and cement.
And the students were required to bring bricks to school and ...We worked really hard for 3 weeks and finally we built a road.
Years later, I heard about the term: child labor.
I was like, what?! Those kids got paid?!
嗨,大家好啊!那个……我能表演的 不多,因为我绿卡马上要过期了。我是在中国的穷乡僻壤长大的。我们 某年突然决定要修整土路,铺上砖头和水泥,让 们带砖头到学校来……我们玩命地干了三个礼拜终于把路修好了。多年以后我听说了这个词:童工。我立马就惊讶了,啥?!那些小孩干活还有钱拿?
I got a D minus.
But I read that younger kids nowadays can't even read the analog watches any more.
They can only read the digital ones.
I was like, how are they gonna report the locations of hot chicks in the future? It's gonna be like, Hot chick, 3 o'clock.
I can't stay that long.
我拿到的只是D-。我看报道,如今的小孩都不会看手表了。他们只能看懂电子表。我心想,等他们长大以后该如何报告辣妹的位置啊?别人说,“辣妹在三点钟 ”。我不能待那么久的。
So I came to the US for college and I was really into science, which really helped me in the romance department.
Like once I asked this girl out and she said, no.
I said, are you sure? And she said to me, hey Joe, NO means NO.
I said, well...
it also means Nitric Oxide.

And one year, I went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.
Here's something you guys should know about me.

But when it happens, I want to be there.
有一年,我去新奥尔良参加狂欢节。

And when I first came to the United States, I took a English as a second language class.
And the teacher there was too lazy to remember the students' names.
So he just handed out a list of American names for us to choose from.
And by the time I got the list, there were only two names left, so I just picked Joe instead of Jake.
And the other day, I told that story to my son, Jake.
我初到美国时,参加了英语培训课程。我们老师特别懒,记不住学生名字。于是他就给了我们一张美国名字表,让我们选名字。等我拿到表时,只剩下俩名字了,所以我就选了Joe。我选了Joe,另一个是Jake。有一天,我把这 讲给我儿子听,他叫Jake。
So my son is four years old now.
But he still has a lot of growing-up to do.
Sometimes I look at my son, I was like, wow, this gentleman contributes nothing to society.
And I have to pretend that I'm impressed by everything he does.
I was like, wow, you walked half a block by yourself? That's amazing! But in the back of my mind, I was like, big deal! When I was a kid, I built a road!
我儿子现在四岁,不过,他还远远不够成熟。有时,我看着儿子心想,哇哦,这小伙子对社会一点贡献都没有。但我还得装作他所作的事都很了不起。我说,哇哦,你 走了半个街区?太棒了!其实我心想,这算啥啊! 小时候修了条路!
