【正文】 , the students, and the benefactors of Harvard have used their power to improve the lives of people here and around the world. But can we do more? Can Harvard dedicate its intellect to improving the lives of people who will never even hear its name?
　　毫無疑問，哈佛的老師、校友、學(xué)生和資助者，已經(jīng)用他們的能力改善了全世界各地人們的生活。但是，我們還能夠再做什么呢?有沒有可能，哈佛的人們可以將他們的智慧，用來幫助那些甚至從來沒有聽到過”。哈佛”。這個名字的人?
　　Let me make a request of the deans and the professorsthe intellectual leaders here at Harvard: As you hire new faculty, award tenure, review curriculum, and determine degree requirements, please ask yourselves:
　　請允許我向各位院長和教授，提出一個請求。你們是哈佛的智力領(lǐng)袖，當(dāng)你們雇用新的老師、授予終身教職、評估課程、決定學(xué)位頒發(fā)標準的時候，請問你們自己如下的問題：
　　Should our best minds be dedicated to solving our biggest problems?
　　我們最優(yōu)秀的人才是否在致力于解決我們最大的問題?
　　Should Harvard encourage its faculty to take on the worldamp。39。s worst inequities? Should Harvard students learn about the depth of global poverty……。the prevalence of world hunger……。the scarcity of clean water……。the girls kept out of school……。the children who die From diseases we can cure?
　　哈佛是否鼓勵她的老師去研究解決世界上最嚴重的不平等?哈佛的學(xué)生是否從全球那些極端的貧窮中學(xué)到了什么……?！?。世界性的饑荒……?！Ｇ鍧嵉乃Y源的缺乏……。……。無法上學(xué)的女童……。……。死于非惡性疾病的兒童……?！?。哈佛的學(xué)生有沒有從中學(xué)到東西?
　　Should the worldamp。39。s most privileged people learn about the lives of the worldamp。39。s least privileged?
　　那些世界上過著最優(yōu)越生活的人們，有沒有從那些最困難的人們身上學(xué)到東西?
　　These are not rhetorical questionsyou will answer with your policies.
　　這些問題并非語言上的修辭。你必須用自己的行動來回答它們。
　　When you consider what those of us here in this Yard have been givenin talent, privilege, and opportunitythere is almost no limit to what the world has a right to expect From us.
　　想一想吧，我們在這個院子里的這些人，被給予過什么。天賦、特權(quán)、機遇。那么可以這樣說，全世界的人們幾乎有無限的權(quán)力，期待我們做出貢獻。
　　In line with the promise of this age, I want to exhort each of the graduates here to take on an issuea plex problem, a deep inequity, and bee a specialist on it. If you make it the focus of your career, that would be phenomenal. But you donamp。39。t have to do that to make an impact. For a few hours every week, you can use the growing power of the Internet to get informed, find others with the same interests, see the barriers, and find ways to cut through them.
　　同這個時代的期望一樣，我也要向今天各位畢業(yè)的同學(xué)提出一個忠告：你們要選擇一個問題，一個復(fù)雜的問題，一個有關(guān)于人類深刻的不平等的問題，然后你們要變成這個問題的專家。如果你們能夠使得這個問題成為你們職業(yè)的核心，那么你們就會非常杰出。但是，你們不必一定要去做那些大事。每個星期只用幾個小時，你就可以通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)得到信息，找到志同道合的朋友，發(fā)現(xiàn)困難所在，找到解決它們的途徑。
　　Donamp。39。t let plexity stop you. Be activists. Take on the big inequities. It will be one of the great experiences of your lives.
　　不要讓這個世界的復(fù)雜性阻礙你前進。要成為一個行動主義者。將解決人類的不平等視為己任。它將成為你生命中最重要的經(jīng)歷之一。
　　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。 you must start sooner, and carry on longer.
　　在座的各位畢業(yè)的同學(xué)，你們所處的時代是一個神奇的時代。當(dāng)你們離開哈佛的時候，你們擁有的技術(shù)，是我們那一屆學(xué)生所沒有的。你們已經(jīng)了解到了世界上的不平等，我們那時還不知道這些。有了這樣的了解之后，要是你再棄那些你可以幫助的人們于不顧，就將受到良心的譴責(zé)，只需一點小小的努力，你就可以改變那些人們的生活。你們比我們擁有更大的能力。你們必須盡早開始，盡可能長時期堅持下去。
　　Knowing what you know, how could you not?
　　知道了你們所知道的一切，你們怎么可能不采取行動呢?
　　And I hope you will e back here to Harvard 30 years From now and reflect on what you have done with your talent and your energy. I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional acplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the worldamp。39。s deepest inequities……。on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in mon with you but their humanity.
　　我希望，30年后你們還會再回到哈佛，想起你們用自己的天賦和能力所做出的一切。我希望，在那個時候，你們用來評價自己的標準，不僅僅是你們的專業(yè)成就，而包括你們?yōu)楦淖冞@個世界深刻的不平等所做出的努力，以及你們?nèi)绾紊拼切┻h隔千山萬水、與你們毫不涉及的人們，你們與他們唯一的共同點就是同為人類。
　　Good luck.
　　祝各位好運。
