  David Greene (Host): We’re celebrating 10 years of Storycorps this week by revisiting some memorable stories. This one starts in 1996. Will Smith was 27 and had just 1)enrolled as a freshman at Bowdoin College. Not only was he older than the other students, but he was raising his 2)infant daughter, Olivia.
  Will Smith: I wasn’t planning on having you as my roommate. I actually thought that if Bowdoin College knew I had you, they wouldn’t let me come to college, so I hadn’t mentioned it to anyone. And I got a job working at Staples, cleaning at night. I had to take you in with me—at work—sometimes, and hide you in the 3)closet.
  (laughter)
  Will: I think I lost something like 27 pounds, just from stress and not eating because I didn’t have enough for both of us. My basketball teammates were my first babysitters. I just remember coming from class; and there were four giant guys—and then there was this 18-month-old who was tearing up the room.
  (laughter)
  Olivia Smith: Were you ever embarrassed, bringing me to class and just having me in general?
  Will: I felt a little awkward but never embarrassed. There were times when the only way I could get through was to come in and look at you and see you sleeping, and then go back to my studies. And my graduation day from Bowdoin is a day I’ll never forget. You know, all of my classmates, they stood up and gave me the only standing 4)ovation. (crying)
  Olivia: I remember walking up with you and having my head on your shoulder.
  (laughter)
  Will: Yeah. The 5)dean called both of our names as he 6)presented us with the 7)diploma.
  Olivia: So technically, I already graduated from college.
  Will: Nice try.
  (laughter)
  Will: That degree only has my name on it, so you’ve still got to go.
  Olivia: I really admire your strength.
  Will: I draw my strength from you. I always have, and I still do.
  (Soundbite of Music)
  David: That’s Will Smith with his teenage daughter Olivia. Now just before recording that interview, Will found out that he had stage 3 8)colon cancer.
  Will: You know, you took care of me in the hospital as if our roles were 9)reversed. I was in the hospital bed, and you were rubbing my head and you’re telling me everything was going to be OK. You watched me at my weakest point, where no father wants to be, and you didn’t shed a tear.
  David: Storycorps recently checked in with Will and Olivia, to find out how they’re doing now.   Olivia: The best day of this past year was when you had your last 7)chemo treatment.
  Will: That was a good day.
  (laughter)
  Will: Now, I am feeling a little better and doing the college search.
  Olivia: It’s crazy, like growing up on a college campus and now that I’m finally that age, I don’t really believe it.
  Will: You won’t have the early struggles that I did. You won’t have a child.
  (laughter)
  Will: You know, when I was going through treatments, one of the things that helped me through was knowing that had I not been there to help you through this process, you would have figured it out by yourself. But now, I’m grateful that I am here and with you.
  Olivia: I’m also glad that we’re here. Thank you for always being there for me, and just giving me the life that I have.
  (Soundbite of Music)
  David: Olivia Smith and her father, Will at Storycorps. And we can tell you this morning, Will remains cancer-free. Their interviews are housed at the Library of Congress.

  大卫·格林(主持人):这周,为了庆祝《故事团》成立10周年,我们来重温一些值得回忆的故事。这个故事发生在1996年,威尔·史密斯当时27岁,刚刚被鲍登学院录取为大一新生,他不仅比其他的学生年长,而且还带着还是婴儿的女儿——奥利维亚。
  威尔·史密斯:我当时没打算让你做我的室友。事实上我在想如果鲍登学院知道我带着你,他们不会让我到学院学习,所以我没有跟任何人说。我在史泰博公司(译者注:全球领先的办公用品公司,世界500强企业)找到一份工作,晚上负责打扫。我有时候要带着你去上班,把你藏在壁橱里。(笑)
  威尔:我想我大概瘦了27磅,我压力大,而且经常不吃东西,因为我不够钱买我们两个人的食物。我篮球队的队友成为了我第一批奶爸们。我只记得上完课回来,看见四个大汉伺候着一个18个月大闹翻天的婴儿。
  (笑)
  奥利维亚·史密斯:你有曾经因为把我带到课室上课而感到尴尬吗?
  威尔:我感到有点奇怪但是从来不觉得尴尬。有几次时间我必须回到宿舍照看你,直到你睡着了,再回去上课。我在鲍登学院毕业的那天是我永远无法忘记的。你知道吗,我所有的同学都站起来,我是唯一一个让他们站起来为我欢呼的人。(哭)
  奥利维亚:我记得我的头靠在你的肩膀上,陪着你一起上台去。
  (笑)
  威尔:院长叫了我们两个人的名字,给我们颁发了证书。
  奥利维亚:所以理论上,我已经大学毕业了。
  威尔:想得美。
  (笑)
  威尔:证书上只有我的名字,因此你还得努力。
  奥利维亚:我真的很佩服你的勇气。
  威尔:我的勇气来自于你。我过去、现在依然有这份勇气。
  (背景音乐)
  大卫:这是威尔·史密斯和他十几岁的女儿奥利维亚。在录制那个采访前,威尔被查出得了结肠癌第三期。
  威尔:你知道吗,那时候你在医院照顾我,就像我们彼此的角色互换了。我躺在病床上,你摸着我的头,安慰我说一切都会好起来的。你看到了我最脆弱的时候,没有一个父亲希望会发生这样的事情,但是你却没有掉一滴眼泪。
  大卫:《故事团》(栏目组)最近联系了威尔和奥利维亚,了解他们的近况。奥利维亚:去年最美好的一天就是你做完最后一次化疗。
  威尔:那是个好日子。
  (笑)
  威尔:现在我感觉好点了,开始寻找大学院校。
  奥利维亚:这真的不可思议,我在大学校园里长大,现在也到了上大学的年纪,我真的不敢相信。
  威尔:你没有遭受我早期的磨练。你还没有孩子。
  (笑)
  威尔:你知道吗,当我接受治疗时,让我安心的其中一件事是我知道就算我没有陪你一起度过这个艰难的过程,你也能自己处理好。但是现在,我很欣慰能够和你在一起。
  奥利维亚:我也很高兴能和你在一起。谢谢你总是在我身边,给了我现在的生活。(背景音乐)
  大卫:这是《故事团》的主角奥利维亚·史密斯和她的爸爸——威尔。我们可以告诉您,到今早为止,威尔的癌症还没有复发。他们的采访会保存在美国国会图书馆里。

想必大家在第一次与别人见面时,自我介绍都是报上自己的大名;洋气点的,附上英文名;商业化点的,递上自己的名片……然而,这样的自我介绍既老套又缺乏新意,很容易就成为人们眼中的路人甲。为了给他人留下更深刻的印象,也为了增强自己的存在感,我们确实应该在介绍自己的时候多花一点心思,说不定就能因此收获一份意想不到的幸福。  小编温馨提示:这次访谈的对象是一位尼日利亚的作家,所说的英语口音比较重,不是很标准。希
