【正文】 e in the world who died today from preventable causes, one half of one percent of them were on this plane. We’re determined to do everything possible to solve the problem that took the lives of the one half of one percent.但是如果那些官員敢于說(shuō)真話，他們就會(huì)說(shuō)：“在今天，全世界死于可避免事故中的所有人，%的人在這次飛機(jī)事故中罹難。媒體總是報(bào)告新聞，但是幾百萬(wàn)人將要死去并非新聞。If we can really see a problem, which is the first step, we e to the second step: cutting through the plexity to find a solution.就算我們真正能發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題，也不過(guò)是邁出了第一步，接著還有第二步：那就是，從這個(gè)復(fù)雜的世界中走出一條捷徑，找到解決問(wèn)題的辦法。但是，紛繁的世界使得我們很難找出一條適合每一位善者的行動(dòng)方針，這樣一來(lái)，人類(lèi)對(duì)他人的關(guān)愛(ài)往往很難奏效。最高效的方法是預(yù)防。Pursuing that goal starts the fourstep cycle again. This is the pattern. The crucial thing is to never stop thinking and working – and never do what we did with malaria and tuberculosis in the 20th century – which is to surrender to plexity and quit.要實(shí)現(xiàn)讓人們避免危險(xiǎn)行為這一目標(biāo)，上述四步依然適用，可以再次循環(huán)。You have to have the statistics, of course. You have to be able to show that a program is vaccinating millions more children. You have to be able to show a decline in the number of children dying from these diseases. This is essential not just to improve the program, but also to help draw more investment from business and government.當(dāng)然，你必須有一些統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字。But if you want to inspire people to participate, you have to show more than numbers。What made that experience especially striking was that I had just e from an event where we were introducing version 13 of some piece of software, and we had people jumping and shouting with excitement. I love getting people excited about software – but why can’t we generate even more excitement for saving lives?那次經(jīng)歷之所以讓我難忘，是因?yàn)橹拔覀儎倓偘l(fā)布了一個(gè)軟件的第13個(gè)版本，當(dāng)時(shí)有些人激動(dòng)得又蹦又叫。沒(méi)錯(cuò)，不平等現(xiàn)象一直存在，但是有一些新技術(shù)，能夠帶領(lǐng)我們走出世界的紛擾。馬歇爾也是在這個(gè)地方的畢業(yè)典禮上，宣布了一項(xiàng)計(jì)劃，幫助歐洲國(guó)家的戰(zhàn)后建設(shè)。那時(shí)，新技術(shù)剛剛開(kāi)始萌芽，它們將使得這個(gè)世界變得更小、更開(kāi)放、更透明、距離更近。At the same time, for every person in the world who has access to this technology, five people don’t. That means many creative minds are left out of this discussion smart people with practical intelligence and relevant experience who don’t have the technology to hone their talents or contribute their ideas to the world.與此同時(shí)，世界上有條件上網(wǎng)的人，只是全部人口的六分之一。Members of the Harvard Family: Here in the Yard is one of the great collections of intellectual talent in the world.在座的所有哈佛人，你們都是全世界的精英，今天匯集在此。在我結(jié)婚典禮的前幾天，她特意主持了一個(gè)儀式。”When you consider what those of us here in this Yard have been given – in talent, privilege, and opportunity – there is almost no limit to what the world has a right to expect from us.在座各位，請(qǐng)想一想吧，你們得到了什么——天才、特權(quán)、機(jī)遇——既如此，全世界的人都在期望，期望我們做出無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的貢獻(xiàn)。你可以一周花幾個(gè)小時(shí)，從日益壯大的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上獲得信息，找到志同道合的朋友，發(fā)現(xiàn)困難之所在，找到解決困難的捷徑。You graduates are ing of age in an amazing time. As you leave Harvard, you have technology that members of my class never had. You have awareness of global inequity, which we did not have. And with that awareness, you likely also have an informed conscience that will torment you if you abandon these people whose lives you could change with very little effort. You have more than we had。既然你們比我們擁有更大的能力，你們就應(yīng)該爭(zhēng)朝夕，謀長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)，持之以恒地做下去。9 /
