陈奕伦, 哈佛大学（在4月14日的哈佛中国论坛开幕式）
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good morning and welcome to the 15th Harvard China Forum. My name is Jack Chen, and I am one of the Co-Presidents of the Forum this year. As this is my third and last time speaking on behalf of Harvard China Forum on this stage, I would like to, just for once, address you in Chinese instead of in English. I want to express my sincere apologies to the English speakers here today, but I hope that our interpreter Ben can make up for the inconvenience as best as we could.

Just one day after the 100 year anniversary of sinking of Titanic in northern Atlantic, the early arrival of summer temperatures makes people wonder if there is still any icebergs in the sea where Titanic was hit 100 years ago.
A couple miles from Boston Marathon’s finish line in front of Boston Public Library, Boston Red Sox was shut out by Tempa Bay Rays in the annual 11 O’clock Patriot’s Day game in Fenway Park. This year also marks the 100 year anniversary of Fenway Park.
Overall, a tough day for Boston Marathon runners, hometown boys and any icebergs still hanging around in the Atlantic.
