【正文】 ne Harvard for its next 375 nearly four centuries now, Harvard has been inventing the is where the future begins第二篇：哈佛大學(xué)校長Drew Gilpin Faust在畢業(yè)典禮的演講哈佛大學(xué)校長Drew Gilpin Faust在畢業(yè)典禮的演講：在醒著的時間里，追求你認為最有意義的?。?聽君一席話，勝讀十年書??！)記住我們對你們寄予的厚望，就算你們覺得它們不可能實現(xiàn)，也要記住，它們至關(guān)重要，是你們?nèi)松谋睒O星，會指引你們到達對自己和世界都有意義的彼岸。讓我們把這個畢業(yè)典禮想象成一個問答式環(huán)節(jié)，你們是提問者。你們問我的第一件事不是問課程，不是教師輔導(dǎo)，不是教師的聯(lián)系方式，也不是學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)生活的空間。你們中有很多人會去讀法律、醫(yī)學(xué)、或其他研究生。在某種程度上，我覺得自己更關(guān)心的是你們?yōu)槭裁磫栠@些問題，而不是給出答案。從一進校門，我們就告訴你們，你們會成為對未來負責(zé)的領(lǐng)袖，你們是最優(yōu)秀、最聰明的是我們的依靠，你們會改變整個世界。你們問我的問題差不多就是這樣——關(guān)于舍棄的人生道路。但我們怎樣才能找到幸福呢？我可以給出一個鼓舞人心的答案：長大。我將其稱為擇業(yè)停車位理論，幾十年來一直在與同學(xué)們分享。但是，最最重要的是，你們問問題，既是在問我，更是在問你們自己。正是在這個意義上，“人文”才是名副其實的liberare ——自由（9）。一定要經(jīng)?；貋?，告訴我們過得如何。與之相對的是warm call，指打給相識客戶的推銷電話。你們生活的意義要由你們自己創(chuàng)造?！案Ｋ固匦ｉL，生活的意義是什么？我們在哈佛苦讀四年是為了什么？福斯特校長，從你四十年前大學(xué)畢業(yè)到現(xiàn)在，你肯定學(xué)到了不少東西吧？”（四十年了。實際上，甚至不是酒精限制政策。但是，絕大多數(shù)人選擇了金融和咨詢，這與戈爾丁和卡茨的調(diào)查結(jié)果不謀而合。如果戈爾丁和卡茨教授的結(jié)論是正確的；如果金融行業(yè)的確就是“理性的選擇”，那么你們?yōu)槭裁催€是不停地問我這個問題呢？為什么這個看似理性的選擇，會讓你們許多人覺得難以理解、不盡合理，甚至在某種意義上是出于被迫或必須，而非自愿呢？為什么這個問題會困擾你們這么多人呢？我認為，你們問我的其實是生活的意義，只不過你們提出的問題是經(jīng)過偽裝的——提問角度是高級職業(yè)選擇中可觀察、可度量的現(xiàn)象，而不是抽象的、難以理解的、令人尷尬的形而上學(xué)范疇。我們對你們寄予厚望，反而成了你們的負擔(dān)。金融業(yè)、華爾街和“招聘”已經(jīng)變成了這個兩難困境的標(biāo)志，代表著一系列問題，其意義要遠比選擇一條職業(yè)道路寬廣和深刻。調(diào)查表明，年長的人——比如我這個歲數(shù)的人——幸福感比年輕人更強。不要因為覺得肯定沒有停車位了，就把車停在距離目的地20個街區(qū)遠的地方。你們在選擇道路，同時又質(zhì)疑自己的選擇。它們賦予你開展行動、發(fā)現(xiàn)事物意義和作出選擇的能力。譯者注：（1）Increase and Cotton：英克利斯和考特恩父子，都是著名清教徒牧師。在文中，特指哈佛法學(xué)院的教授會在課上隨機點名讓學(xué)生回答問題。we must act in ways that are not just about tomorrow – but about decades and even centuries to means that we teach our students with the intention of shaping the whole of their lives as well as readying them for what happens as soon as they leave our means that in the sciences – and beyond – we support research that is driven by curiosity, by the sheer desire to understand – at the same time that we pursue discoveries that have immediate measurable it means that we support fields of study – of languages, literatures, cultures – that are intended to locate us within traditions of reflection about the larger purposes of human existence, enabling us to look beyond ourselves and our own experience, to ask where we are going – not just how we get in our professional Schools, designed to educate students for specific vocations, we seek to instill the perspective that derives from the critical eye and the questioning mind。第四篇：哈佛大學(xué)校長Drew Faust 2012畢業(yè)典禮演講哈佛大學(xué)校長Drew Faust 2012畢業(yè)典禮演講With Commencement today, we close our year of memorating Harvard’s 375th an exuberant party for 18,000 in torrential rain and ankledeep mud here in Tercentenary Theatre last fall to today’s invocation of John Harvard’s spirit still walking the Yard, we have celebrated this special year and this institution’s singular and distinguished by an act of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636, Harvard was the first college in the English colonies and is the oldest in what has bee the United was already 140 years old when the nation was are few institutions in this country or even the world that can claim such what does such a claim mean? At a time when the buzzword of “innovation” is everywhere, when the allure of the new drives business, politics and society, what do we intend by our celebration of endurance and of history? Why do we see history as an essential part of our identity? Why is Harvard’s past an invaluable resource as we decide how to shape the future?In a quite literal sense, history creates our identity – who we as Harvard actually are – and as a result who we aspire to live in a munity made up not just of the students, faculty and staff now here – or even the 300,000 Harvard alumni around the are part of a munity that extends across time as well as acknowledge an indelible connection to those who have e before – predecessors both recent and remote, who remind us of what is possible for us by their demonstration of what was possible for ’s history instills both expectations and responsibilities as it challenges us to inhabit this cannot study philosophy here without sighting the ghosts of John Rawls, Willard Quine, Benjamin Peirce, Ralph Waldo Emerson, or William cannot study law without thinking of the 18 Harvard Law School alumni who have served as Supreme Court justices, including the 6 currently on the bench – not to mention the graduate in the White House and the seven presidents with Harvard degrees who have preceded who appear on Harvard stages surely imagine themselves as Jack Lemmon or Natalie Portman or Stockard Channing, directed by the equivalents of Peter Sellars, Diane Paulus, or Mira perhaps our aspiring actors see themselves in John Lithgow and Tommy Lee Jones, who returned together for Arts First weekend earlier this month to reminisce about their thespian adventures in those seeking to change the world through technology are sure to reflect on Zuckerberg, Ballmer, and these domains and so many others, we have the privilege of living alongside a remarkable heritage of have certainly not e to work and study here in Cambridge and Boston because of the weather – though this past winter suggests climate change may be altering are drawn here because others before us have set a standard that extends across centuries in its power and its think of ourselves in their pany。（4）cold call：營銷人員打給陌生客戶推銷商品的電話。我迫不及待地想知道你們會變成什么樣子。它使你
