(单词翻译)
Everyone in my family went to school here at Michigan: me, my brother, my Mom and Dad--all of us. My Dad actually got the quantity discount: all three and a half of his degrees are from here. His Ph.D. was in Communication Science because they thought Computers were just a passing fad1, when he earned it 44 years ago. He and Mom made a big sacrifice for that degree. They argued at times over pennies, while raising my newborn brother. Mom typed my Dad's dissertation2 by hand. That's ironic3 for a Communication Science dissertation. This velvet4 hood5 I'm wearing, this was my Dad's. And this diploma that I have here, just like the one you are about to get, that was my Dad's. And my underwear, that was... oh never mind.
