Celebration

歡慶

Leon overcame the final hurdle toward his doctorate degree: an oral examination within a month after the written one. That evening after my office hours, we went out to celebrate, feeling a huge sense of relief and the joy of the holiday season. When he was in Taipei Technical Vocational School, the only education his family could afford, Leon never imagined that he would earn a doctoral degree at MIT.

汝樑終於在筆試後一個月內通過了博士學位資格考試的最後一關:口試. 佳節期間解脫了心裡上巨大的壓力. 那天晚上我下班後,滿懷喜悅出去慶祝. 回想他少年時由於家境所限, 只能讀台北工業職業學校準備將來做技工. 當時汝樑從未夢想過他有機會獲得麻省理工學院博士學位.
