（单词翻译）

Trent Johnson jr. just celebrated¹ his graduation from medical school in Ohio with a ceremony at his parents home in Florida.Johnson had to get creative ever since his school and others across the country had to close due to the deadly coronavirus.I learned a couple weeks before my actual ceremony that the school was canceling it.And I was absolutely devastated² because for me, graduation was a time for me that not only celebrate my accomplishments³ but to celebrate with my family, my friends and my cousins and I couldn't do that.So Johnson and his family improvised⁴.It was really sort of an all-hands-on-deck.My friend helped me create a website so that all of my family who was flying into Columbus originally still could celebrate virtually.My entire family, they are best to make the living room look as special as possible given its circumstances.All I can say is we got it as a dog, man.

小特伦特·约翰逊刚刚在佛罗里达的父母家举行了毕业典礼，庆祝他从俄亥俄州医学院毕业。约翰逊自己举行了毕业典礼。由于致命的冠状病毒，他的学校和全国各地的学校都关闭了。我在毕业典礼的前几周，就得知了学校要取消毕业典礼。我彻底崩溃了，因为对我来说，毕业典礼不仅是庆祝我完成学业，而且是可以和我的家人、朋友和表兄弟们一起庆祝，但是我现在无法参加毕业典礼了。所以约翰逊和他的家人即兴发挥。这场典礼真的是离不开所有人的共同努力。我的朋友帮我创建了一个网站，让我那些原本打算飞往哥伦布的家人们仍然可以进行线上庆祝。我们全家尽了最大努力，让客厅的环境看起来尽可能的特别。我只能说我们都很满意。

In the end, I felt like the moment I shared in that living room with my family and friends all over the world.There's nothing that could have replaced that special moment.The video of his ceremony went viral.My twitter has almost a half a million views.He was on the news.and he was featured in the New York Times.And I remember picking up the newspaper and unfolding it and seeing my face and thinking wow I not only became a doctor, but I encouraged and inspired people all over the world to celebrate their accomplishments and follow their dreams, that if that was truly an incredible moment.Becoming a doctor has been a lifelong dream for Johnson who was the first male in his family to graduate from medical school.I grew up in an area where people will have low socioeconomic class and I knew that that's the type of community I wanted to serve. Now as a medical resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the city of Baltimore he has an opportunity to do just that.I really like the the community of Baltimore and I remember walking out of the hospital Hopkins and seeing the surroundings and thinking well even the people that I'm passionate⁵ about helping⁶.As Johnson settles into his new surroundings and his new city he will continue to spread his message of hope and inspiration. I hope I inspire so many young boys and girls to follow their dreams.Julie Taboh VOA news

最后，我和我的家人以及世界各地的朋友们在客厅里分享那一时刻。那个时刻十分特别，无可取代。他的毕业典礼视频在网上疯传。我的推特几乎有50万次的浏览量。他上了新闻。他还被《纽约时报》报道。我记得我拿起并打开报纸，然后看到了我自己的脸，我想着，哇，我不仅成为了一名医生，而且我激励和鼓舞了全世界的人们庆祝自己完成学业并追寻梦想，那真是一个不可思议的时刻。成为一名医生是约翰逊一生的梦想。他是他家族中第一个从医学院毕业的男性。我在一个社会经济地位落后的地区长大，我知道这就是我想要服务的社区。现在，作为巴尔的摩市约翰霍普金斯医院的一名住院医生，他有机会做到这一点。我真的很喜欢巴尔的摩社区，我记得我走出霍普金斯医院，看到周围的环境，想到我热切想要帮助的就是这些人。当约翰逊在新环境和新城市定居时，他将继续传播他希望和鼓励的信息。我希望我能激励非常多的男孩和女孩们追寻梦想。美国之音记者朱莉·塔博报道
