Reference translation:

When I was young, I had a very good magazine, the global catalogue, which was one of the bibles of our generation. The founder of the magazine, Stewart Brand, was founded in Monroe Park, not far from here , and he gave the magazine a poetic beauty. In the late 60, personal computers and desktop typesetting had not yet appeared, so the magazine was made entirely out of typewriters, scissors, and polarizer, a bit like a paperback Google , but appeared 35 years before Google's debut. The magazine is full of ideal colours, full of neat tools and unusual insights . Stewart and his team published a list of "global Catalogs", and after completing their mission , they published the final issue of the magazine. It was in the middle of the 70, when I was about your age. On the back cover of the magazine's last issue is a photo of an early morning country road, which, if you're adventurous, might take a ride . There are two words under the photo: "If you are hungry for knowledge, if you are foolish, " This is their farewell language, "If you are hungry for knowledge, if you are foolish," I always encourage myself. Now, as you embark on a new journey of graduation, I will give you the same expectations.
