If you had caught me straight out of college in the halls of the Vermont State House where I was a lobbyist in training and asked me what I was going to do with my life, I would have told you that I'd just passed the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, the Chinese equivalency exam, and I was going to go study law in Beijing, and I was going to improve U.S.-China relations through top-down policy changes and judicial system reforms. (Laughter) (Applause) I had a plan, and I never ever thought it would have anything to do with the banjo.
Si me hubieran viso cuando salí de la universidad en los pasillos de la Vermont State House donde me entrenaba para hacer lobby y me hubieran preguntado qué iba a hacer con mi vida, yo les habría contestado que acababa de pasar el Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, el examen de chino, que iba a estudiar derecho en Pekín, y que iba a mejorar las relaciones entre EE.UU. y China cambiando políticas, con enfoque vertical, y reformando el sistema judicial. (Risas) (Aplausos) Yo tenía un plan y nunca imaginé que tendría que ver con el banjo.
