I knew I had to take a banjo with me to China.
我这时候知道我肯定会带着班卓琴去中国了
So before going to law school in China, I bought a banjo,
在出发去中国的法学院之前，我买了个班卓琴，
I threw it in my little red truck and I traveled down through Appalachia
把它扔进我的红色小皮卡里，然后我一路开到了阿巴拉契亚
and I learned a bunch of old American songs,

and I ended up in Kentucky at the International Bluegrass Music Association Convention.
最后我来到了肯塔基的国际蓝草音乐联盟大会
And I was sitting in a hallway one night and a couple girls came up to me.
有天晚上我坐在走廊里，几个姑娘走了过来
And they said, "Hey, do you want to jam?" And I was like, "Sure."
她们问我：“嘿，来个小合奏呗？”我说：“成啊！”
So I picked up my banjo and I nervously played four songs that I actually knew with them.
然后我拿起班卓琴，非常紧张地和她们合奏了四首歌
And a record executive walked up to me and invited me to Nashville, Tennessee to make a record.
然后一个唱片公司的管理人员走了过来，然后邀请我去田纳西的纳什维尔(被称为音乐之都）录专辑
It's been eight years, and I can tell you that I didn't go to China to become a lawyer.

In fact, I went to Nashville. And after a few months I was writing songs.

Outside your door the world is waiting. Inside your heart a voice is calling.
门外有个世界，心中有个声音
The four corners of the world are watching, so travel daughter, travel. Go get it, girl.
四方等你来啊，远行吧我的姑娘，去远行。去追逐你的梦
