Thank you very much.

The ancient Greek, Sophocles , once said, "One must wait until the evening to truly see how magnificent the day has been." My father, Joseph Vincent Paterno, never wanted to look back, to be seated in the evening reflecting on the day passed.

古希腊人索福克勒斯曾经说过：“必须等到晚上才能真正看到这一天是多么壮丽。”我的父亲约瑟夫·文森特·帕特诺（Joseph Vincent Paterno）从来不想回头看，不想在晚上坐下来反思过去的一天。

Once something was done, it was on to the next challenge.

一旦完成某件事，就可以迎接下一个挑战。

Well, dad, you have no choice.

The evening has arrived, and whether you like it or not, there are many here that have and will continue to reflect on the magnificent daylight of your life.

Born in Brooklyn to Angelo and Florence Paterno, many of you know the well-versed details of his life.

他出生于布鲁克林，父母是安吉洛·帕特诺 (Angelo Paterno) 和弗洛伦斯·帕特诺 (Florence Paterno)，你们中的许多人都了解他的生活细节。

What you may not know is his father instilled in him the ideals and values of inclusion and openness.

安杰洛·帕特诺 (Angelo Paterno) 一生致力于增加不同信仰、不同种族的人们之间的对话，他的长子乔·帕特诺 (Joe Paterno) 将这些价值观作为他的核心价值观。

My father used his compassion and cleverness to take a stand in college.

我的父亲用他的同情心和聪明才智在大学里表明了自己的立场。

When one member of his fraternity kept putting a black ball in a secret ballot to deny entrance to a Jewish student, it was Joe that hatched a plan to get him in.

当他的兄弟会的一名成员不断在无记名投票中投出一个黑球以拒绝一名犹太学生入学时，乔制定了一个让他入学的计划。

On the next ballot, Joe stood up and proclaimed that he had put the black ball in, and he had changed his mind, thereby gaining admittance for that Jewish student when the black balling student would not own up to it.

在下一次投票中，乔站起来宣布他已经把黑球放进去，并且他改变了主意，从而在黑球学生不肯承认的情况下为那个犹太学生赢得了入学资格。

He took a stand.

他表明了立场。

When kids at school would call him a "guinea" or a "wap," his mother reminded him that every knock is a boost.

当学校里的孩子们称他为“几内亚”或“瓦普”时，他的母亲提醒他，每一次敲击都是一种推动。

Yesterday, while sitting around, my father's friend and author of The Exorcist , Bill Blatty , told me a Joe Paterno high school story I'd never heard.

A day later, a still-sullen Bill Blatty ran into Joe coming out of a little corner store near Brooklyn Prep.

Joe said in his Brooklynese accent, [he[ said, "Hey why ya down?

乔用布鲁克林口音说，[他[说，“嘿，你为什么沮丧？

Do you believe that you won?" "Yes," Bill replied.

你相信你赢了吗？” “是的，”比尔回答道。

"That's all you need," Joe said.

“这就是你所需要的，”乔说。

In high school he already possessed a strong inner confidence and strength, the belief in excellence over success -- excellence defined internally, success externally.

在高中时，他已经拥有强大的内在信心和力量，相信卓越胜于成功——卓越定义在内部，成功定义在外部。

It is best up -- It is best summed up by a quote by John Adams .

这是最好的——最好的总结是约翰·亚当斯的一句话。

Late in his life, Adams wrote, "No matter how high or low my estimation in the eyes of the world, my conscience is clear."

亚当斯晚年写道：“无论世人对我的评价有多高或多低，我的良心都是清白的。”

He did realize his position in the world enabled him to make an impact, as he promised his father, Angelo, he would do.

事情并没有就此结束。

The diversity was stunning.

多样性是惊人的。

乔·帕特诺确实有一种不屈不挠的意志，但有一个例外：当他的意志与他的妻子、我的母亲苏·帕特诺的意志背道而驰时。

Once, while listening to -- to the U2 song " Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own ," I heard a beautiful lyric.

He could do his job, and we could share him with Penn State because he knew my mother was in complete command on the home front.

他可以完成他的工作，我们可以与宾夕法尼亚州立大学分享他，因为他知道我的母亲在后方拥有完全的指挥权。

Ruskin once wrote: "When love meets skill, expect a masterpiece." The impact of love and skills collision as husband and wife, as mother and father, in all the pursuits of their life created a masterpiece you see before you today.

罗斯金曾写道：“当爱遇上技巧，期待杰作。”作为丈夫和妻子、作为母亲和父亲，在他们一生的所有追求中，爱的影响和技能的碰撞创造了今天在你们面前看到的杰作。

Their artistry of love and skill became a driving force on this campus, benefitting all aspects of this university.

他们的爱心和技艺成为校园的推动力，使大学的各个方面都受益。

They donated their own money and solicited donations of millions of dollars to benefit the whole university -- from buildings, to scholarships, to endowments.

他们捐出了自己的钱，并筹集了数百万美元的捐款，以使整个大学受益——从建筑、奖学金到捐赠基金。

When I started my coaching career at the University of Virginia, I noticed on that campus buildings with all kinds of symbols painted on them -- 7s, and Zs, and all these things.

当我在弗吉尼亚大学开始我的教练生涯时，我注意到校园建筑上画着各种各样的符号——7、Z，以及所有这些东西。

And I was told that these secret society symbols were painted on every building that those societies had helped to build.

有人告诉我，这些秘密社团的符号被画在这些社团帮助建造的每一座建筑物上。

If we paint Joe and Sue Paterno on every building they helped to raise money for at Penn State, we'll need a lot of paint.

如果我们为乔和苏·帕特诺在宾夕法尼亚州立大学帮助筹集资金的每一栋建筑上涂上油漆，我们将需要大量油漆。

Both of their roles were known to so many people around the world and outside of Penn State.

他们的两个角色都为世界各地以及宾夕法尼亚州立大学以外的许多人所熟知。

On Monday, when the President of the United States called to offer his condolences, he said, "Mrs. Paterno, it is well known what you and your husband did to help build a great institution." "We plan to keep on going," my mother said.

"I wouldn't expect anything less," the President said.

总统说：“我不会期望有任何减少。”

You get the picture.

你明白了。

You all get the picture and you realize that, as Angelo Paterno wanted it, an impact has been made.

你们都明白了，并且意识到，正如安吉洛·帕特诺所希望的那样，已经产生了影响。

And that impact has a lasting legacy, a legacy beyond accolades and buildings and endowments.

这种影响具有持久的遗产，超越荣誉、建筑和捐赠的遗产。

It is in the people he reached, the people he taught.

这是在他接触到的人、他教导的人中。

Right now, I'd like for all the current and former football student-athletes to stand for a moment, please.

现在，我希望所有现在和以前的足球学生运动员起立一会儿。

Wherever you are in the arena, I want you to stand.

无论你在竞技场的哪个位置，我都希望你站起来。

The grand experiment, success with honor, was a ripple that has grown to a tsunami washing across the world.

这项伟大的实验获得了荣誉，所产生的涟漪逐渐演变成席卷全球的海啸。

My father used to quote Tennessee Williams .

我父亲常常引用田纳西·威廉姆斯的话。

He said, "I knew no one was immortal but I thought I was the exception.

他说：“我知道没有人是不朽的，但我认为我是例外。

Well, dad, through this legacy, the legacy of so many you have touched, you are the exception.

好吧，爸爸，通过这个遗产，你所触及的许多人的遗产，你是例外。

As Joe would say, "Sit down, now, sit down, sit down.

正如乔所说：“现在坐下，坐下，坐下。

Joe's impact propelled all of us to success as fathers, husbands, mother, wives, on Main Street, on Wall Street.

乔的影响力推动我们所有人在大街上、华尔街上成为成功的父亲、丈夫、母亲、妻子。

We've become doctors, coaches, lawyers, teachers, engineers, architects, and even Grammy-winning musicians like Mike Reid .

我们已经成为医生、教练、律师、教师、工程师、建筑师，甚至成为像迈克·里德这样的格莱美获奖音乐家。

By Joe's example, he has forwarded the torch of making an impact.

以乔的榜样，他传递了影响力的火炬。

He and his wife have invested their money and their time to causes from Special Olympics to Dance Marathon, Penn State's Campus Catholic Ministry .

他和他的妻子将他们的金钱和时间投入到从特奥会到舞蹈马拉松、宾夕法尼亚州立大学校园天主教事工等事业上。

That example has produced student-athlete graduates like Bill Spoor .

He and his wife now spend their time away from his job at Goldman Sachs building schools in Uganda -- all at his own expense.

他和他的妻子现在在高盛工作之余，把时间花在乌干达建设学校上——所有费用都是他自己承担的。

The examples of philanthropy at Penn State are all around.

宾夕法尼亚州立大学的慈善事业例子比比皆是。

From the football team's Live for Life, to Dance Marathon, to Special Olympics, and so many more, Penn State students each year raise millions of dollars to help others and to forward the idea of making an impact.

从橄榄球队的“Live for Life”、舞蹈马拉松、特奥会等等，宾夕法尼亚州立大学的学生每年都会筹集数百万美元来帮助他人并传播产生影响的想法。

As we prepare to leave here today, we must continue to celebrate the life of Joe Paterno.

当我们今天准备离开这里时，我们必须继续庆祝乔·帕特诺的一生。

Among the things he accomplished in his life, it was the games he won that counted the least.

在他一生所取得的成就中，最不重要的是他赢得的比赛。

It was as a son to his parents, a husband to his wife, a father to his children, an uncle, a brother-in-law, and when -- what often seemed to be a -- his crowning achievement in his life, as a grandfather to 17 grandchildren.

这是他作为父母的儿子、妻子的丈夫、孩子们的父亲、叔叔、姐夫，而当他作为 17 个孙子的祖父时——这通常似乎是——他一生中的最高成就。

But it went beyond that.

但它还不止于此。

He became a father, a coach, a mentor to countless others.

他成为了无数人的父亲、教练和导师。

Young men came from around this country -- from different races, different creeds, socioeconomic backgrounds -- and came to play football for him, but also to learn about life.

来自全国各地的年轻人——来自不同的种族、不同的信仰、社会经济背景——来到这里为他踢足球，同时也是为了了解生活。

His impact reached men who worked for him, to Penn State students, to people he never met.

他的影响影响到了为他工作的人、宾夕法尼亚州立大学的学生以及他从未见过的人。

One mourner told me Wednesday, he said, "You know your family is not very good at math." He said, "Your father has millions of children and grandchildren." His impact reached not only the young men he coached --

周三，一位哀悼者告诉我，“你知道你的家人不太擅长数学。”他说：“你的父亲有数以百万计的子孙。”他的影响不仅影响到他所执教的年轻人——

The players that came here to Penn State, came here because here was Martin -- Martin Luther King's dream.

来到宾夕法尼亚州立大学的球员之所以来到这里，是因为这里是马丁——马丁·路德·金的梦想。

He was a kid place where black kids and white kids could hold hands in a huddle, where we would all be given a chance -- an equal chance -- where they would be judged by the content of their character, not by the color of the -- their skin, nor the way in which they prayed to their God.

他是一个孩子们的地方，黑人孩子和白人孩子可以手拉手挤在一起，我们所有人都会有机会——平等的机会——在那里他们将根据他们的性格内容来评判，而不是他们的肤色，也不是他们向上帝祈祷的方式。

Bound by a common cause our differences would melt away.

由于共同的事业，我们的分歧将会消失。

Whether it was the Middle East or Northern Ireland or Sudan, when the world would get crazy Joe would say to me, "If we could just get them all in a locker room before a game, and get them in a huddle to hold hands for a common cause."

无论是中东、北爱尔兰还是苏丹，当世界变得疯狂时，乔都会对我说，“如果我们能在比赛前让他们都进入更衣室，让他们为了共同的事业而手拉手就好了。”

At Penn State, our plain blue and white uniforms, white helmets, black shoes, and nameless school jerseys spoke volumes about his philosophy of sport and life -- the simplistic beauty of the basics, core values of honesty, loyalty, integrity, family and commitment to personal excellence.

在宾夕法尼亚州立大学，我们朴素的蓝白制服、白色头盔、黑色鞋子和无名的校服充分说明了他的运动和生活哲学——基本的简单之美、诚实、忠诚、正直、家庭的核心价值观以及对个人卓越的承诺。

Perhaps his truest moment, his living testimony to all that he stood for, came in the last months of his life.

也许他最真实的时刻，他对自己所代表的一切的活生生的见证，出现在他生命的最后几个月。

Faced with obstacles and changes that would have left a lesser man bitter, he showed his truest spirit and his truest self.

面对小人会感到痛苦的障碍和变化，他表现出了最真实的精神和最真实的自我。

Despite all that had happened to him, he never wavered in his belief, in his dream of Penn State.

尽管发生了这一切，他从未动摇过自己的信念和宾夕法尼亚州立大学的梦想。

He told me he wanted to use his remaining time on earth to see Penn State continue to thrive.

他告诉我，他想利用自己在世的剩余时间来见证宾夕法尼亚州立大学继续蓬勃发展。

He never spoke ill and never wanted anyone to feel badly for him.

他从不说坏话，也不希望任何人为他感到难过。

On his 8th birthday, will all his children, their spouses, his grandchildren around him, he stressed how blessed his life had been.

在他八岁生日那天，他向身边所有的孩子、他们的配偶、孙子们强调，他的生活是多么幸福。

He saw the truest gifts of his life.

他看到了他一生中最真实的礼物。

He had his family, and a very meaningful book of letters from former players in front of him.

他面前有他的家人，还有一本非常有意义的前球员的信件。

But time waits for no man.

但时间不等人。

When my father was first diagnosed , I found time to see him every day.

当我父亲第一次被确诊时，我每天都抽出时间去看他。

The day before he broke his pelvis, we walked through Sunset Park behind our house.

在他骨盆骨折的前一天，我们穿过屋后的日落公园。

He was tired and it was cold, but he wanted to go on a little farther.

他很累，而且天气很冷，但他想再走远一点。

The son was out, and as we talked and walked I watched our shadows as they moved with us across the grass and the twigs and some remaining leaves.

儿子出去了，当我们边走边聊天时，我看着我们的影子随着我们一起穿过草地、树枝和一些剩下的树叶。

I couldn't help but notice the similarity in gait, in posture, and in stride.

我不禁注意到步态、姿势和步幅的相似之处。

I knew the challenge it would be to walk a path in life like his -- to do and expect more from life than just taking care of one's self; to be an example to my children, to teach them about the way my father and his father had lived their lives.

我知道走上像他这样的人生道路将是一项挑战——要从生活中做更多事情并期待更多，而不仅仅是照顾自己；成为我的孩子们的榜样，教导他们我父亲和他父亲的生活方式。

It was the last night and early morning of my father's life.

这是我父亲生命中的最后一夜和清晨。

I got one final lesson from him.

我从他那里得到了最后一课。

Sitting there watching him sleep, I started to think about him in ways I hadn't thought about in years.

坐在那里看着他熟睡，我开始以多年来从未想过的方式思考他。

I thought about him helping me fly a kite in Cape Cod, playing "Monster" with us, jumping in the waves of the Jersey Shore .

我想起他在科德角帮我放风筝，和我们一起玩“怪物”，在泽西海岸的海浪中跳跃。

I thought about him in the audience, as I sang as the Admiral Joseph Porter in the elementary school production of the H.M.S.

当我在小学制作的 H.M.S. 中饰演海军上将约瑟夫·波特时，我在观众席上想起了他。

Pinafore .

围裙。

Memories flooded back of even the smallest moments of my childhood.

即使是童年最微小的时刻，记忆也会涌上心头。

Early Sunday morning, which was to be our last together, I was seeing the father and son relationship from the eyes of my children and realized...what...I had to do to -- for my children as their father.

周日清晨，这是我们最后一次在一起，我从孩子们的眼中看到了父子关系，并意识到……我必须做什么——作为我的孩子们的父亲。

I heard the long ago, early morning hum of the film projector as I remembered playing with my cars on the floor of his den.

很久以前，清晨，当我记得在他书房的地板上玩我的汽车时，我听到了电影放映机的嗡嗡声。

Here I was, in an early morning 36 to 37 years later, in a room alone with him once more.

36 到 37 年后的一个清晨，我再次与他单独呆在一个房间里。

He had no more advice to give.

他没有更多的建议可以提供。

But all I wanted was for one more word from him, one more lesson, just to hear his voice.

但我想要的只是他再多说一句话，再上一堂课，只是想听听他的声音。

He has given so much to my family, our university, our football program, our country, and the world.

他为我的家庭、我们的大学、我们的足球项目、我们的国家和世界付出了很多。

To ask for more here in the last hours of his life would have been selfish on my part.

在他生命的最后几个小时里在这里要求更多对我来说是自私的。

Yet, here with saying a word, his presence alone gave me one last lesson: The smallest acts of a father, a coach, a mentor can echo across decades and retain meaning for a man who would be a father to his own children.

然而，仅凭他在这里说的一句话，就给了我最后一课：一个父亲、一个教练、一个导师的最微小的行为可以在几十年后产生回响，并且对于一个将成为自己孩子的父亲的人来说仍然具有意义。

It was a tennis great and humanitarian Arthur Ashe who once said when asked about his daughter, and asked about being a father -- he said: "I love my wife, but I am crazy about my daughter." I know that my father was crazy about his children, and indeed, all the children he has coached or reached over the years.

伟大的网球运动员和人道主义者阿瑟·阿什（Arthur Ashe）曾经在被问及他的女儿和作为一名父亲时说道：“我爱我的妻子，但我为我的女儿而疯狂。”我知道我的父亲对他的孩子们非常着迷，事实上，他多年来指导或接触过的所有孩子。

Over the past 17 years, I've stood in a locker room with him after games hundreds of times.

在过去的 17 年里，我在比赛结束后和他一起站在更衣室里数百次。

Into those moments walked dozens of Saturday gladiators, the smell of sweat in the air, the grass and blood stains on the uniform, the scratches on the plain helmets; and in the air, the sorrow if we've lost, and under Joe Paterno, far more often, the joy of -- of a win.

数十名周六角斗士走进了那些时刻，空气中弥漫着汗水的味道，制服上的青草和血迹，朴素头盔上的划痕；空气中弥漫着我们输球的悲伤，而在乔·帕特诺的领导下，更多时候是胜利的喜悦。

Joe Paterno would offer some words about the game we just played, most often reminding that you�re never as good as you think you are when you win and you�re never as bad as you were when you -- you think you were when you lost.

乔·帕特诺（Joe Paterno）会对我们刚刚玩的游戏发表一些看法，最常见的是提醒你，当你获胜时，你永远不会像你想象的那么好，你永远不会像你输球时想象的那么糟糕。

All those guys who played from him can still hear that.

所有那些玩过他的人仍然可以听到这一点。

For 45 years he led this program.

他领导这个项目长达 45 年。

He always ended his post-game remarks with the same thing.

他总是以同样的话结束赛后讲话。

He�s say, "Let�s thank the good Lord." And we would kneel down, hold hands, and say that Lord�s Prayer .

他说：“让我们感谢仁慈的主。”我们会跪下，手牵手，念主祷文。

One time, just out of curiosity, I said, "Dad, why?

有一次，出于好奇，我说：“爸爸，为什么？

Why that prayer?" He said, "The words, Jay, the words": "Our Father," "give us this day," " our daily bread," "forgive us �as we forgive." "We," "us," -- every pronoun is plural, "we" and "us." There is no "I" or "me."

为什么要这样祷告？”他说，“杰伊，这些话”：“我们的天父”、“赐给我们这一天”、“我们日用的面包”、“像我们宽恕一样宽恕我们”。 “我们”，“我们”——每个代词都是复数，“我们”和“我们”。没有“我”或“我”。

Then it clicked.

然后咔哒一声。

Here in the last act after every football game we play is a reminder from Joe that it was never about him.

在我们参加的每场足球比赛后的最后一幕中，乔都会提醒我们，这从来都不是关于他的。

It was we and us, unselfish to the core.

是我们，是我们，彻头彻尾的无私。

The current and former players in this room know that, and they know that scene.

这个房间里的现任和前任球员都知道这一点，他们也知道那个场景。

They�ve had those moments.

他们有过那些时刻。

But this afternoon I want us all that have that moment.

但今天下午我希望我们所有人都能拥有那一刻。

I ask that if you are able to stand up.

我问你是否能站起来。

Hold the hands of the person next to you and step into that locker room and feel the bonds of Penn State.

握住你旁边的人的手，走进更衣室，感受宾夕法尼亚州立大学的纽带。

Let�s say one last �Our Father� as a team for Joe Paterno:

让我们最后说一下乔·帕特诺团队的“我们的父亲”：

Our Father, who art in heaven Hallowed be thy Name.

我们在天上的父，愿人都尊你的名为圣。

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven.

愿你的国降临，愿你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。

Give us this day our daily bread.

今天请赐予我们日用的面包。

And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us.

宽恕我们的过犯，正如我们宽恕那些侵犯我们的人一样。

And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.

不叫我们遇见试探，救我们脱离凶恶。

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, For ever and ever.

因为国度、权柄、荣耀都是你的，直到永永远远。

To conclude, I want to -- To conclude, I want to share one more thing with you.

最后，我想——最后，我想与大家分享一件事。

On Sunday morning I told my father when I was alone in the room with him, I said, "You know, dad, you fulfilled your father�s command to make an impact.

周日早上，我告诉父亲，当我独自一人在房间里时，我说：“爸爸，你知道，你履行了父亲的命令，要产生影响。

You really have." And a half hour later or so when it became clear that his time on earth was rapidly coming to a close, and my last words to my father -- I kissed him and I whispered into his ear so that only he could hear, "Dad, you won.

你确实有。”大约半小时后，当我清楚地意识到他在地球上的时间即将结束时，我对父亲说的最后一句话——我吻了他，在他耳边低语，这样只有他才能听到：“爸爸，你赢了。

You did all that you could do.

你已经做了你能做的一切。

You�ve done enough.

你已经做得够多了。

We all love you.

我们都爱你。

You won.

你赢了。

You can go home now."

你现在可以回家了。”
