On the flight here,

在来这里的航班上，

I was reminded about my mom.

我想起了我的母亲。

I'm a self-taught cellist, I've never had a lesson.

我是自学的大提琴手， 从来没受过专业训练。

I studied double bass, but I just picked up the cello and started playing

我学过低音提琴，但我 更喜欢拿起大提琴演奏，

because I love doing it.

因为我更钟爱大提琴。

But my mom was an inspiration to me.

不过我的母亲也鼓舞了我。

I did not realize she was an inspiration,

但我一开始并未意识到这一点，

because she got her music degree through a mail-order course,

因为我母亲是通过邮购 美国音乐学院的课程

the US School of Music.

来获得音乐学位的。

While raising two kids,

在抚养两个孩子的同时，

she received a lesson a week in the mail,

她通过邮箱每周上一次课，

and practiced.

然后加以练习。

And at the end of a couple of years, she put on a recital.

几年之后，她举办了自己的独奏会。

And I'll be 50 this month, and it took me that long to realize

这个月我就满50岁了， 我花了很久才意识到，

that she was that big of an inspiration.

她是我的灵感和动力的源泉。

I'm just going to keep -- yeah, thanks, mom.

我会一直——谢谢你，妈妈。

(Applause)

（掌声）

She's also one of the most extraordinary people I know,

除了杰出音乐家的身份之外，

beyond being a wonderful musician.

我母亲也是我所认识的 最不平凡的人之一。

I want to play a little bit for mom and your moms as well, actually.

我想为我母亲， 也为各位的母亲们演奏一段。
