Hello. I'm curious about dreaming, do you dream in both languages or one language more than the other? Or I'm just...
你好,我很好奇你的梦,你是用两种语言做梦,还是只用其中的一种?或者,我只是……
Oh yes, I dream in both languages
哦,是的,我用两种语言做梦
but when it is very deep and when I am going deep into my psyche and in my soul
但梦境很深时,我陷入了自己的内心世界
and into my childhood then it is in Chinese, in the original language.
灵魂和童年时,梦就是中文的,是我的母语
Gosh, I just really feel like telling her the story I told in class today, can I do that? Yes.
哦,我很想告诉她我今天在课上讲的故事,可以吗?可以
Yeah, okay. Some people may have to listen to this for the second time,

Last night I was giving a talk, a discussion on immigration.
昨晚我做了一个演讲是讨论移民的
I told a story that touched me very much.
我讲了一个令我触动很深的故事
This is a story that's been told by hundreds of immigrants, illegal immigrants who have crossed the border between Mexico and the US.
这是被很多移民,穿过美国和墨西哥国界线的非法移民们交口传送的一个故事
And as they crossed, some of them would run out of water and they would run out of food and they would be sick.
在偷渡的过程中,有人会缺水,有人缺少食物,还有人生病
And, then suddenly they would see a man come up to them and he gives them water, gives them food.
突然,他们看到一个男人走过来,给了他们水,给了他们食物
