NEW YORK – I have had the same apartment in New York City for almost 40 years but have actually lived in it for less than half of that time, owing to a busy travel schedule. I enjoy it; my experiences abroad have taught me the importance of an open mind and have given me a willingness to wander off the beaten path – not only to keep life interesting, but also to understand in a meaningful way that things do not look the same from every vantage point.
纽约—我拥有纽约市的一套公寓已近四十年，但我实际住在其中的日子还不到一半，因为我的旅行日程十分繁忙。我很享受这样；我的海外经验让我知道保持开放思维的重要性，也让我愿意不走寻常路——不但是为了保持生活情趣，也是为了以一种有意义的方式理解，从不同角度看待事物会得到不同结论。
