Six weeks before his 97th birthday, Giuseppe Paterno realized the dream of a lifetime: he got a university degree(学位) in history.
Mr Paterno's graduation has attracted a lot of reporters around the world, partly because of his age. But he has drawn their attention mainly because his life story shows his spirit of commitment(投入). His story sets an example for millions of schoolchildren and young people in Italy and elsewhere. "Don't get lost because you meet with difficulties. There will always be difficulties," Mr Paterno told reporters. "You have to be strong." "Studying has been my interest since I was a little child," he said, "but unluckily, life was hard to me."
Born in Palermo, Italy in 1923, the first of seven children in a very poor family, Mr Paterno began working soon after finishing primary school. After he retired in the mid-1980s, he returned to his books. At that time, he met a professor from the University of Palermo, who asked him to go after his dream. He never gave up from then on and finished learning at that university.
"His story is proof(证明) that dreams can come true and that you can always keep young—if not in age but at least in spirit if you develop interests. He is a model to follow," said Rossella Cancila, his adviser and a professor of history.
Italy's university system is based on a three-year degree, followed by a two-year master's course(硕士课程). University officials are hoping that Mr Paterno will continue his study.
He isn't so sure. "I have to admit that in this moment, I don't know if I would deal with it just like before," he said. "All the attention has been a bit tiring. But anyway, I want to keep my choice open."

在朱塞佩·帕terno(Giuseppe Paterno)97岁生日的六周前,他实现了一生的梦想:获得了历史学的大学学位。
帕terno先生的毕业吸引了世界各地的众多记者,部分原因是他的年龄。但他主要是因为他的人生故事展现了他的投入精神而引起了他们的关注。他的故事为意大利及其他地区的数百万学童和年轻人树立了榜样。“不要因为遇到困难而迷失方向。困难总会存在,”帕terno先生告诉记者。“你必须坚强。”“从我还是个小孩子的时候起,学习就是我的兴趣,”他说,“但不幸的是,生活对我来说很艰难。”
1923年,帕terno先生出生于意大利的巴勒莫,他是一个非常贫困家庭的七个孩子中的老大,小学毕业后不久就开始工作。20世纪80年代中期退休后,他又重新拿起了书本。当时,他遇到了一位来自巴勒莫大学的教授,这位教授鼓励他去追求自己的梦想。从那时起,他从未放弃,并在那所大学完成了学业。
“他的故事证明了梦想可以成真,而且如果你培养兴趣,你总能保持年轻——即使不是在年龄上,至少在精神上,”他的导师、历史学教授罗塞拉·坎奇拉(Rossella Cancila)说。
意大利的大学体系以三年制学位为基础,之后是两年制的硕士课程。大学官员希望帕terno先生能继续他的学业。
他并不那么确定。“我必须承认,在这个时候,我不知道我是否还能像以前那样应对,”他说。“所有的关注有点让人疲惫。但不管怎样,我想保留我的选择。”
