The most affectionate memory of my childhood is about a round table.我儿时的记忆是关于一张圆桌的。
When I was still little, my entire family would reunite on almost every traditional festival to have dinner.当我还小的时候，我们全家会在几乎每一个传统节日上团聚。
While the grownups were discussing about something beyond our comprehension, we kids would be scuttling around or even crouching under the table to play hide and seek.彼时，大人们在讨论一些我们无法理解的事情，我们小孩则会在追逐嬉戏甚至蹲在桌子下面玩捉迷藏。
When I got a bit older, my aunt brought back her boyfriend, a tall and shy man and my grandma joyfully added another seat to the round
table.当我长大一些，我的姑姑带回来她的男朋友，一个高高的腼腆的男人，我的奶奶高兴地给圆桌又加了一个位置。
It seemed a little bit more crowded, but we all felt closer to this new family member.圆桌似乎变得更拥挤了一些，但我们却感觉到我们和新家庭成员更亲近了。
When I was twelve.my grandpa passed away because of cancer, but when the entire family reunite once again, his chair his bowl
and his chopsticks remain the same。当我十二岁那年，爷爷因为癌症去世了，但当我们全家再次团聚时，他的椅子，碗筷仍旧放在原处。
Even though his seat was empty. but it felt like that he had never left us.尽管他的座位是空着的，但这会让我们觉得他从未离开过我们。
We all have a table like this in our homes.我们每个人家里都有一张这样的桌子。
It is a symbol of a reunion of our families, representing our sentiment, and an attachment to our families.它是一家人团聚的象征，和与家之间的羁绊。
But as a matter of fact, in China, almost everything can be solved over a round table.但事实上，在中国几乎所有的事情都可以通过圆桌来解决。
The that marriage bells between a loving couple, the morning of the deceased the negotiations between business partners and a state banquet to another president from other country can all happen on a same round table。一对恩爱的夫妻的婚姻，死了人的早晨，商业伙伴间的谈判，以及另一个国家总统间的国宴，都可以在同一个圆桌会议上进行。
So I start to wonder what is this round table to us, what it has
been doing to us and his true significance starts to unfold in front of me.所以我开始思考这个圆桌对我们来说是什么，它对我们做了什么，然后它的真正意义开始在我们面前展示。
The food on the table may change with time.桌上的食物可能随着时间而改变。
The people sitting beside it may come and go.坐在桌子旁的人可能会来也会走。
The reasons why we come together may be various, but the sensation behind it remains year after year the same.我们走到一起的原因可能是多种多样的，但是它背后的感觉仍然是年复一年一样的。
And that is our tolerance of different people our willingness to embrace different culture and artistic forms or care, and love and respect for not only our family but also for a community, our nation and even the whole world.那就是我们对不同的人的宽容或者是接受不同文化和艺术形式的意愿，或者不仅仅是对我们的家庭，也是对一个社区，我们国家，甚至是整个世界的关心，爱与尊重。
In less than two months an annual epic migration would take place in China hundreds of people, men and women young and old, the rich and the poor the dead like my grandpa and the alive.还有不到两个月的时间，一年一度的史诗般的移民将在中国进行，成千上百的人，男的女的，年轻的年老的，富有的贫穷的，想我爷爷这样死去的人和活着的人。
We'll find a way to go back home and go to the round table to reunite with their families。我们会找到回家的路，与家人团聚在圆桌旁。
The power that drives them to do so has been the power that has been sustaining Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and the lives of us or even the history of our nation has been the stories of looking for or running to the round table to which we belong.驱使他们这样做的力量是几千年来一直支撑着中华文明的力量，我们的生活，甚至是我们国家的历史都是在寻找或奔向我们所属的圆桌的故事。
The round table has been a symbol of the Chinese sensation. It was ,it is and will always be.圆桌一直是中国情感的象征。它是，而且它永远都是。
