分析 翻译：
在开学的第一天，我们的教授做了自我介绍，并向我们提出了要求，让我们了解到我们不认识的人．我站起来环顾四周时，一只手轻轻碰了一下我的肩膀．"嗨，女孩！我叫罗斯，我87岁了．""你为什么这么年轻就上大学？"我开玩笑地问．"我一直梦想着接受大学教育，现在我得到了一个！"她回答说．罗斯成为今年学院的象征，无论她走到哪里，她很容易交到朋友．她喜欢打扮，她喜欢来自其他学生身上所有的注意力．在学期结束时，我们邀请罗斯在我们的足球队聚会上发言．我永远不会忘记她教给我们的．"我们不停地表演，因为我们老了；我们变老了，因为我们不再表演了．年轻的秘密只有2个秘密，快乐和成功．你要笑，每一天发现幽默．你必须有一个梦想．当你失去你的梦想时，你死了！她说．"在成长和成长之间有着巨大的差异．如果你十九岁，躺在床上整整一年，什么都不做，你将年满20岁．如果我87岁，在床上呆一年，从不做任何事，我会转88．任何人都可以变老．但对年轻人的每一分钟都算是年轻的．她补充说．
她唱着《玫瑰花之歌》结束了她的演讲，她挑战我们每个人学习歌词，并活在我们的日常生活中．一年的学习结束，玫瑰完成了大学教育，多年前她就已经开始这些学习．一个星期后，毕业了罗斯死在她的睡眠中．
