jump right in.我很激动大家又聚在一起。我知道你们都在讨论召集你们回来的原因，因此我就开门见山吧。

3. Last summer，we received a dynamite young woman here from Cornell and she had some pretty big ideas that she challenged me with. And my first reaction was，“Who does the kid think that she is？”But after I gave it a listen，she really knocked me out. So with a peek into our future，Natalie Keener.去年夏天，我们这儿来了一位优秀的康奈尔大学毕业生，她向我提出了一些很有创意的想法，我当时第一反应是这女孩真的不知天高地厚，但当我听了之后，确实震撼了我。现在，让娜塔莉，肯纳带领我们一同展望未来。

12. Give it up for someone：给某人鼓掌 v

75. I thought our relationship was perfectly clear，you are an escape，you are a break from my normal life，you are a parenthesis.我想我们的关系已经很明确了，你是我暂时的解脱，你是我日常生活里的一种调剂品，只是一段插曲而已。
76. To whom it may concern, I can’t even count the number of people I’ve fired in my lifetime，so many that I’ve actually forgotten what it’s like to hire somebody.
