94歲老太太下月大學畢業(yè)

        Born in Richmond on June 21, 1915, Soares traces her interest in art history back to age 11 and the impression made on her the first time she saw Michelangelo's "David" in the Book of Knowledge. In 1996, at age 80, she traveled to Florence, Italy, to see the sculpture for herself.

　　蘇亞雷斯于1915年6月21日在列治文出生，11歲時在百科全書上看到米開朗基羅的大衛(wèi)雕像后開始對藝術產生興趣，1996年，當時80歲的蘇亞雷斯還親自到意大利看大衛(wèi)像。

　　But setting records isn't what motivated Soares to renew her lifelong quest for education when she enrolled at Chabot Community College in the mid-1980s and settled on an art history major in Mills College in 2005. "I've always had a basic curiosity about how to do things, whether it's a (cooking) recipe or identifying pieces of art in historical context," she said.

　　蘇亞雷斯于上世紀八十年代中期在夏堡社區(qū)大學上課，2005年轉學到密爾斯大學后主修藝術史。她重拾書本不是為了創(chuàng)紀錄，蘇亞雷斯說：“我對任何事一直都有求知欲，不論是食譜或監(jiān)定藝術品的歷史背景，我都非常有興趣。”

　Then she plans to start looking for a job where she can use the skills and knowledge she acquired at the prestigious, private women's undergraduate college. "I'd like to be a docent in a museum," Soares said. Soares still drives and she is as healthy as a horse.

　　蘇亞雷斯計劃在畢業(yè)后開始找工作，運用她在大學時學到的知識和技能，她說：“我希望能在博物館里當導游。”蘇亞雷斯身體非常健康，還能開車。

　　Soares just might qualify as the second-oldest student in the world to ever earn a college degree. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Nola Ochs, 95, is the oldest person to ever graduate from college.

　　蘇亞雷斯有可能排在世界最年長大學生第二位。根據吉尼斯世界紀錄，95歲的諾拉.歐克斯是至今全世界最年長的大學畢業(yè)生。歐克斯于2007年從堪薩斯州海斯堡州立大學取得歷史學學位。
