There are however a number of things that need to be said before we say anything else.
不過有很多話要說在前面。
First, I want to thank publicly and with great vigour the college of arts and sciences dean,
首先我想對文理學院的工作人員、
the dean's office in general and in particular Ken Greenberg the dean of the college.
院長辦公室的人員，尤其是肯格林伯格院長公開地表示熱誠的感謝。

Dean Greenberg, when he became the Dean invented a distinguished visiting scholar programme at our college.

Maxine was the first or the second, I can't remember which, of the distinguished visiting scholars.
湯女士是來訪的著名學者中的第一位還是第二位，我記不清了。
This was seven years ago and she's been here six years out of those seven every spring, well, it's not yet spring I realise
那是7年前了，那7年中有6年的春天她都會來這里，應該不是春天
but every spring Maxine would come and visit with the creative writing courses,
不過每個春天湯女士都會來看訪文學創作的課程
visit with students in the Asian studies programme and in the English department courses with Asian-American literature.
和亞洲研究項目以及英語學院中亞美文學研究的學生、進行交流。
This represents one, just one of the profound transformations of this college in the last ten or fifteen years.
這只是過去10到15年里這個學院里發生的眾多變化之中的滄海一粟。
