Well，I knew I had big lips. I didn't know what bee-stung lips were. But she said it with such warmth and such kindness that I remember going home from church and starting at myself in the mirror, because Tish hooker had said that I was pretty, and she was the first person that ever looked at me and had the courage to speak to the words. "You're pretty."
我只知道我長了兩片厚嘴唇，我并不知道什么是撅撅嘴。但是她說這些的時候語氣是那么輕柔，和藹，我就記著從教堂回家后，我一個勁地盯著鏡子里的自己看，因為迪斯·胡克說我很漂亮可愛，她是第一個看著我，有勇氣對我說出“你很漂亮”這句話的人。
I'd never felt pretty. I knew I was smart, but this stranger, this woman who just came out of nowhere it seemed, was the first person to ever say it to me. And it made me see myself differently from that day forward, Tish Hooker saying, "You have such beautiful bee-stung lips," and I've remembered that my whole life. You never know what kindness you offer today to someone, how that might live with them forever. So，graduates, if you can be generous enough to say kind, affirming words to those who may long to hear them, you will be a huge success.
我以前從不覺得自己漂亮。我知道我很乖巧，但是這個陌生人，這個不知道從哪兒冒出來的女人，竟然成了第一個說我漂亮的人。從那天起這句話就改變了我對自己的看法，迪斯·胡克說：“你長了這么漂亮的撅撅嘴”，這句話我一輩子都記得。你們不會知道無形之中會給別人帶去怎樣的善意，這樣的善意或許會影響他們一生。畢業生們，如果你們能做到慷慨大方，多向那些需要鼓勵的人說些善意、贊揚的話，你們定會大有作為。
And finally, let me just tell you a story about my success. I had a charity sale, because I have clothes in every size, 8, 12, 14, elastic. Sometimes it gets crowded in my closet.
最后，讓我給你們講一個關于我成功的故事。我舉行了一次義賣，因為我有不同型號的服裝，8,10,12,14以及有松緊帶的。
