I graduated from university four years ago. I had always dreamed of going, and I know how fortunate I am to have had the opportunity to do so.

四年前,我大学毕业。我曾经一直梦想着自己可以去大学读书,并庆幸自己能有机会实现。

划线这段话里面出现了4种不同的时态,分别是一般过去式graduated(毕业的动作已经过去了动词用过去式即可);过去完成时had dreamed(强调过去的动作对过去的影响,想去大学读书发生在过去的过去);一般现在时know;现在完成时have had (过去有机会上大学,这里时态既可以用现在完成时,也可以用过去完成时,但因为加在to不定式后面,have只能用原型,所以用的是现在完成时)

Brown became my home, my community, and I took the ideas and the experiences I had there into all of my social interactions, into my work place, into my politics, into all aspects of my life. I know that my university experience shaped who I am. And, of course it does for many people.

布朗大学成为了我的家,我的归属。我把我在布朗大学里的想法和经历贯彻到我的社交、工作、政治观点以及生活的方方面面。我知道我在大学时期的经历塑造了今天的自己。当然,很多人都是如此。
