然后这个人说:“哦,我的天啊,那就是说,你认识奥普拉·温弗瑞?”AndKirbysays,"Sortof."卡比说:“认识一点。Isaid,"sortof?Yousortofknowme?"Well,Ihavephotographicproof.IhavepictureswhichIcane-mailtoyouallofKirbyridinghorseywithmeonallfours.So,Imorethansort-ofknowKirbyBumpus.AndI'msohappytobehere,justhappythatIfinally,afterfouryears,gettoseeherroom.There'sreallynowhereelseI'dratherbe,becauseI'msoproudofKirby,whograduatestodaywithtwodegrees,oneinhumanbioandtheotherinpsychology.Loveyou,KirbyCakes!That'showwellIknowher.IcancallherCakes.我说:“认识一点?你跟我只认识一点?”我有照片为证。我甚至可以把所有卡比和我一起骑马的照片用邮件发给你们。因此我不仅仅只是有点认识卡比·鹏博思。我非常高兴来到这里,因为四年来我终于能有机会看看她的寝室。说实话,我没有更想要去的地方,因为我为卡比感到自豪,她今天就要毕业了,并且获得了人类生物学和心理学的双学位。我爱你,卡比甜心!看看我跟她多熟。我可以叫她甜心。Andsoproudofhermotherandfather,whohelpedhergetthroughthistime,andherbrother,Will.IreallyhadnothingtodowithhergraduatingfromStanford,buteverytimeanybody'saskedmeinthepastcoupleofweekswhatIwasdoing,Iwouldsay,"I'mgettingreadytogotoStanford."我也为她的父母感到骄傲,他们在这期间给了她很大帮助,还有她的哥哥威尔。卡比在这儿上大学的四年中,我对她真的没有什么帮助。但是在最近过去的几周里,每当有人问我在做什么时,我都会说:“我正准备去斯坦福。Ijustlovesaying"Stanford."Becauseofthetruthis,IknowIwouldhavenevergottenmydegreeatall,becauseIdidn'tgotoStanford.IwenttoTennesseeStateUniversity.ButIneverwouldhavegottendiplomaatall,becauseIwassupposedtograduatebackin1975,butIwasshortonecredit.Iwasshortonecredit,andIfigured,I'mjustgoingtoforgetit,because,youknow,I'mnotgoingtomarchwithmyclass.Becausebythatpoint,Iwasalreadyontelevision.I'dbeenintelevisionsinceIwas19andsophomore.Granted,Iwastheonlytelevisionanchorpersonthathadan11o'clockcurfewdoingthe10o'clocknews.2
