He couldn’t even see, but he wanted me to take him to the movies I said, Frank, I know this great movie about home improvement.
他什么都看不见 但他还想要我带他去看电影我说 弗兰克 我知道一个关于家居装饰的电影
Saw five In his final days at hospice.

I would go visit him bring him food and drink.
我会去拜访他给他带吃的和喝的
Because the people told me that sometimes he gets so exited that he would eat something if I could show up.
因为工作人员会告诉我 有时他对我的到来会很激动 他会吃些东西
One day I came and the people told me it would not be long and I knew this would be the last time I was with him.

I walked in and I part of me was frustrated that there weren’t thousands of people around his bedside.
我走了进去我有些沮丧 他的床前没有成千上万的人守候
People who had heat and hot water and a roof over their heads and dignity in housing because of him but.
人们有了暖气 有了热水 有了不漏雨的房子有了舒适的住所 这都是因为他
I knew that that room was crowded with of course of angels I could see that it was his final moment, his breath was so rapid and strained.
但我知道 病房里肯定挤满了天使我看到弥留之际的他 呼吸急促而勉强
I sat with him for what seemed like hours and eventually I’d would leave Now Frank only said two things to me in that room.
我在他身边坐了好像有几个小时 最后不得不离开在病房里 弗兰克只跟我说了两句
And they both were things he forced out of his mouth One of them was something that we must say more to the people in our lives.
这两句都是他勉强从嘴里挤出来的其中一句是我们应该在生活中和人们更多说的
He simply said, I love you The last thing he said that.

人物简介
本视频是新泽西州纽瓦克市市长科里·布克在耶鲁大学2013届毕业典礼上的演讲。
科里·布克讲了自己生活中的一些亲身经历。他告诉毕业生，没有什么是不可能的，他一直在说：“我妈妈教过我，没有什么是不可能的”。他还告诉毕业生不要忘记身边的小事情，而只专注于”大事情”，否则最后会追悔莫及。整个演讲过程有点类似于中国的单口相声，欢声雷动，又不乏煽情。
