最溫情父女組合——愛是你教會我的事

David Greene （Host）： We’re celebrating 10 years of Storycorps this week by revisiting some memorable stories. This one starts in 1996. Will Smith was 27 and had just 1）enrolled as a freshman at Bowdoin College. Not only was he older than the other students， but he was raising his 2）infant daughter， Olivia.

Will Smith： I wasn’t planning on having you as my roommate. I actually thought that if Bowdoin College knew I had you， they wouldn’t let me come to college， so I hadn’t mentioned it to anyone. And I got a job working at Staples， cleaning at night. I had to take you in with me—at work—sometimes， and hide you in the 3）closet.

（laughter）

Will： I think I lost something like 27 pounds， just from stress and not eating because I didn’t have enough for both of us. My basketball teammates were my first babysitters. I just remember coming from class； and there were four giant guys—and then there was this 18-month-old who was tearing up the room.

（laughter）

Olivia Smith： Were you ever embarrassed， bringing me to class and just having me in general？

Will： I felt a little awkward but never embarrassed. There were times when the only way I could get through was to come in and look at you and see you sleeping， and then go back to my studies. And my graduation day from Bowdoin is a day I’ll never forget. You know， all of my classmates， they stood up and gave me the only standing 4）ovation. （crying）

Olivia： I remember walking up with you and having my head on your shoulder.

（laughter）

Will： Yeah. The 5）dean called both of our names as he 6）presented us with the 7）diploma.

Olivia： So technically， I already graduated from college.

Will： Nice try.

（laughter）

Will： That degree only has my name on it， so you’ve still got to go.

Olivia： I really admire your strength.

Will： I draw my strength from you. I always have， and I still do.

（Soundbite of Music）

David： That’s Will Smith with his teenage daughter Olivia. Now just before recording that interview， Will found out that he had stage 3 8）colon cancer.

Will： You know， you took care of me in the hospital as if our roles were 9）reversed. I was in the hospital bed， and you were rubbing my head and you’re telling me everything was going to be OK. You watched me at my weakest point， where no father wants to be， and you didn’t shed a tear.

David： Storycorps recently checked in with Will and Olivia， to find out how they’re doing now.

Olivia： The best day of this past year was when you had your last 7）chemo treatment.

Will： That was a good day.

（laughter）

Will： Now， I am feeling a little better and doing the college search.

Olivia： It’s crazy， like growing up on a college campus and now that I’m finally that age， I don’t really believe it.

Will： You won’t have the early struggles that I did. You won’t have a child.

（laughter）

Will： You know， when I was going through treatments， one of the things that helped me through was knowing that had I not been there to help you through this process， you would have figured it out by yourself. But now， I’m grateful that I am here and with you.

Olivia： I’m also glad that we’re here. Thank you for always being there for me， and just giving me the life that I have.

David： Olivia Smith and her father， Will at Storycorps. And we can tell you this morning， Will remains cancer-free. Their interviews are housed at the Library of Congress.

大衛·格林（主持人）：這周，為了慶祝《故事團》成立10周年，我們來重溫一些值得回憶的故事。這個故事發生在1996年，威爾·史密斯當時27歲，剛剛被鮑登學院錄取為大一新生，他不僅比其他的學生年長，而且還帶著還是嬰兒的女兒——奧利維亞。

威爾·史密斯：我當時沒打算讓你做我的室友。事實上我在想如果鮑登學院知道我帶著你，他們不會讓我到學院學習，所以我沒有跟任何人說。我在史泰博公司（譯者注：全球領先的辦公用品公司，世界500強企業）找到一份工作，晚上負責打掃。我有時候要帶著你去上班，把你藏在壁櫥里。（笑）

威爾：我想我大概瘦了27磅，我壓力大，而且經常不吃東西，因為我不夠錢買我們兩個人的食物。我籃球隊的隊友成為了我第一批奶爸們。我只記得上完課回來，看見四個大漢伺候著一個18個月大鬧翻天的嬰兒。

（笑）

奧利維亞·史密斯：你有曾經因為把我帶到課室上課而感到尷尬嗎？

威爾：我感到有點奇怪但是從來不覺得尷尬。有幾次時間我必須回到宿舍照看你，直到你睡著了，再回去上課。我在鮑登學院畢業的那天是我永遠無法忘記的。你知道嗎，我所有的同學都站起來，我是唯一一個讓他們站起來為我歡呼的人。（哭）

奧利維亞：我記得我的頭靠在你的肩膀上，陪著你一起上臺去。

（笑）

威爾：院長叫了我們兩個人的名字，給我們頒發了證書。

奧利維亞：所以理論上，我已經大學畢業了。

威爾：想得美。

（笑）

威爾：證書上只有我的名字，因此你還得努力。

奧利維亞：我真的很佩服你的勇氣。

威爾：我的勇氣來自于你。我過去、現在依然有這份勇氣。

（背景音樂）

大衛：這是威爾·史密斯和他十幾歲的女兒奧利維亞。在錄制那個采訪前，威爾被查出得了結腸癌第三期。

威爾：你知道嗎，那時候你在醫院照顧我，就像我們彼此的角色互換了。我躺在病床上，你摸著我的頭，安慰我說一切都會好起來的。你看到了我最脆弱的時候，沒有一個父親希望會發生這樣的事情，但是你卻沒有掉一滴眼淚。

大衛：《故事團》（欄目組）最近聯系了威爾和奧利維亞，了解他們的近況。奧利維亞：去年最美好的一天就是你做完最后一次化療。

威爾：那是個好日子。

（笑）

威爾：現在我感覺好點了，開始尋找大學院校。

奧利維亞：這真的不可思議，我在大學校園里長大，現在也到了上大學的年紀，我真的不敢相信。

威爾：你沒有遭受我早期的磨練。你還沒有孩子。

（笑）

威爾：你知道嗎，當我接受治療時，讓我安心的其中一件事是我知道就算我沒有陪你一起度過這個艱難的過程，你也能自己處理好。但是現在，我很欣慰能夠和你在一起。

奧利維亞：我也很高興能和你在一起。謝謝你總是在我身邊，給了我現在的生活。（背景音樂）

大衛：這是《故事團》的主角奧利維亞·史密斯和她的爸爸——威爾。我們可以告訴您，到今早為止，威爾的癌癥還沒有復發。他們的采訪會保存在美國國會圖書館里。
