【正文】 re not quite ready, e see us in a month, which was a good thing, because we hadn39。t guarantee of my biggest memories of Harvard came in January 1975, when I made a call from Currier House to a pany in Albuquerque that had begun making the world39。t worry about getting up in the 39。s why I was invited to speak at your I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here was just a phenomenal experience for life was used to sit in on lots of classes I hadn39。s most successful guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class...I did the best of everyone who I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop out of business 39。ll be changing my job next year...and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your my part, I39。ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: Dad, I always told you I39。Good ，祝各位同學(xué)好運(yùn)。Knowing what you know, how could you not?知道了你們所知道的一切，你們?cè)趺纯赡懿徊扇⌒袆?dòng)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 hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional acplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world’s deepest inequities … on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in mon with you but their ，30 年后你們還會(huì)再回到哈佛，想起你們用自己的天賦和能力所做出的一切。你們比我們擁有更大的能力。你們已經(jīng)了解到了世界 上的不平等，我們那時(shí)還不知道這些。you must start sooner, and carry on ，你們所處的時(shí)代是一個(gè)神奇的時(shí)代。它將成為你生命中最重要的經(jīng)歷之一。要成為一個(gè)行動(dòng)主義者。每個(gè)星期只用幾個(gè)小 時(shí)，你就可以通過(guò)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。如果你們能夠使得這個(gè)問(wèn)題成為你們職業(yè)的核心，那么你們就會(huì)非常杰出?！盬hen 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 ，我們?cè)谶@個(gè)院子里的這些人，被給予過(guò)什么 —— 天賦、特權(quán)、機(jī)遇 —— 那么可以這樣說(shuō)，全世界的人們幾乎有無(wú)限的權(quán)力，期待我們做出貢獻(xiàn)。那時(shí)，我的母親已經(jīng)因?yàn)榘┌Y病入膏肓，但是她還是認(rèn)為這是又一個(gè)傳播她 的信念的機(jī)會(huì)。在我結(jié)婚的前幾天，她主持了一個(gè)新娘進(jìn)我家的 儀式。My mother, who was filled with pride the day I was admitted here – never stopped pressing me to do more for few days before my wedding, she hosted a bridal event, at which she read aloud a letter about marriage that she had written to mother was very ill with cancer at the time, but she saw one more opportunity to deliver her message, and at the close of the letter she said: From those to whom much is given, much is provided我的母親在我被哈佛大學(xué)錄取的那一天，曾經(jīng)感到非常驕傲。但是，我們還能夠再做什么呢?有沒(méi)有可能，哈佛的人們可以將他們的智慧，用來(lái)幫助那些甚至從來(lái)沒(méi)有聽到過(guò) “ 哈佛 ” 這個(gè)名字的人?Let me make a request of the deans and the professors – the intellectual leaders here at Harvard: As you hire new faculty, award tenure, review curriculum, and determine degree requirements, please ask yourselves: provided請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我向各位院長(zhǎng)和教授，提出一個(gè)請(qǐng)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(píng)估課程、決定學(xué)位頒發(fā)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)問(wèn)你們自己如下的問(wèn)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(wèn)題?Should Harvard encourage its faculty to take on the world’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(lì)她的老師去研究解決世界上最嚴(yán)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 …… 清潔的水資源的缺乏 …… 無(wú)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(méi)有從中學(xué)到東西?Should the world’s most privileged people learn about the lives of the world’s least privileged?那些世界上過(guò)著最優(yōu)越生活的人們，有沒(méi)有從那些最困難的人們身上學(xué)到東西?These are not rhetorical questions – you will answer with your 。這個(gè)院子里在場(chǎng)的人們，是全世界最有智力的人類群體之一。新技術(shù)正在創(chuàng)造一種可能，不僅是政府，還 包括大學(xué)、公司、小機(jī)構(gòu)、甚至個(gè)人，能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題所在、能夠找到解決辦法、能夠評(píng)估他們努力的效果，去改變那些馬歇爾六十年前就說(shuō)到過(guò)的問(wèn)題 —— 饑餓、貧 窮和絕望。那些有著實(shí)際的操作經(jīng)驗(yàn)和相關(guān)經(jīng)歷的聰明人，卻沒(méi)有技術(shù)來(lái)幫助他們，將他們的天賦或者想法與全世界分享。At the same time, for every person in the world who has access to this technology, five people don’ means many creative minds are left out of this discussionsmart people with practical intelligence and relevant experience who don’t have the technology to hone their talents or contribute their ideas to the ，世界上有條件上網(wǎng)的人，只是全部人口的六分之一。它還極大地增加了懷有共同想法的人們聚集在一起的機(jī)會(huì)，我們可以為了解決同一個(gè)問(wèn)題，一起共同工作。The emergence of lowcost personal puters gave rise to a powerful network that has transformed opportunities for learning and ，使得一個(gè)強(qiáng)大的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)有機(jī)會(huì)誕生，它為學(xué)習(xí)和交流提供了巨大的機(jī)會(huì)?！盩hirty years after Marshall made his address, as my class graduated without me, technology was emerging that would make the world smaller, more open, more visible, less ，我那一屆學(xué)生畢業(yè)，當(dāng)然我不在其中。他說(shuō)： “ 我認(rèn)為，困難的一點(diǎn)是這個(gè)問(wèn)題太復(fù)雜，報(bào)紙和電臺(tái)向公眾源源不斷地提供各種事實(shí)，使得大街上的普通人極端難于清晰地判斷形勢(shì)。The defining and ongoing innovations of this age – biotechnology, the puter, the Internet – give us a chance we’ve never had before to end extreme poverty and end death from preventable —— 生物技術(shù)，計(jì)算機(jī)，互聯(lián)網(wǎng) —— 它們給了我們一個(gè)從未有過(guò)的機(jī)會(huì)，去終結(jié)那些極端的貧窮和非惡性疾病的死亡。不錯(cuò)，人類的不平等有史以來(lái)一直存在，但是那些能夠化繁為簡(jiǎn)的新工具，卻是最近才出現(xiàn)的。如何做到這一點(diǎn)，并不是一件簡(jiǎn)單的事。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 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，我們讓觀眾激動(dòng)得跳了起來(lái)，喊出了聲。I remember going to Davos some years back and sitting on a global health panel that was discussing ways to save millions of !Think of the thrill of saving just one person’s life – then multiply that by millions.… Yet this was the most boring panel I’ve ever been on – boring even I couldn’t bear ，我去瑞士達(dá)沃斯旁聽一個(gè)全球健康問(wèn)題論壇，會(huì)議的內(nèi)容有關(guān)于如何拯救幾百萬(wàn)條生命。you have to convey the human impact of the work – so people can feel what saving a life means to the families ，這些還不夠，如果你想激勵(lì)其他人參加你的項(xiàng)目，你就必須拿出更多的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字。這些都是很關(guān)鍵的，不僅有利于改善項(xiàng)目效果，也有利于從商界和政府得到更多的幫助。你必須讓他人知道，你的項(xiàng)目為幾百萬(wàn)兒童新接種了疫苗。The final step – after seeing the problem and finding an approach – is to measure the impact of your work and share your successes and failures so that others learn from your ，就是最后一步 —— 評(píng)估工作結(jié)果，將你的成功經(jīng)驗(yàn)或者失敗經(jīng)驗(yàn)傳播出去，這樣其他人就可以從你的努力中有所收獲。關(guān)鍵的東西是永遠(yuǎn)不要停止思考和行動(dòng)。pursuing that goal starts the fourstep cycle is the crucial thing is to never stop thinkin
