and restored nearly 300 homes that were devastated by hurricanes rita and the angel network i have been on the air for a long time, but it was the angel network that actually focused my internal helped me to decide that i wasnt going to just be on tv every day but that the goal of my shows, added this, you simply cannot demonize or vilify someone who doesnt agree with you, because the minute you do that, your discussion is we cannot do that any problem is too has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with our political system and in the media we often see the reflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and is yet, i know you know the all know that we are better than the cynicism and the pessimism that is regurgitated throughout washington and the 24hour cable news my channel, by the understand that the vast majority of people in this and we know you do because you went to are people from both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should have access to healthy food and a roof over their heads and a strong public education because here in the richest nation on earth we can afford a basic level of security and the question is what are we going to do about it? really what are you going to do about it? maybe you agree with these you you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, class of 2013, are passionate you want to make a difference by serving in you want to launch your own television maybe you simply want to collect some parents would appreciate that about point is your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politic has thus far made impervious to of you has been blessed with this enormous disappointed, youd be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in 2012 election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater who you generation your generation i know has developed a finely honed radar for you say harvard? the spin and phoniness and artificial nastiness that saturates so much of our national know you all understand better than most that real progress requires authentican authentic way of being, honesty, and above all that youll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of view and help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesnt cause us to lose our ability to stand in somebody elses shoes and recognize all that we share as a is imperative for you as an individual and for our success as a has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light, says the man whose little boy was massacred on just an ordinary friday in whether you call it soul or spirit or higher self, intelligence, there is i know this, there is a light inside each of you all of us that illuminates your very human beingness if you let as a young girl from rural mississippi i learned long ago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be barbara when i first started because i had barbara in my head i would try to sit like barbara, talk like barbara, move like barbara and then one night i was on the news reading the news and i called canada canada, and that was the end of me being cracked myself up on stop laughing and my real personality came through and i figured out oh gee, i can be a much better oprah than i could be a pretend my goodness!im at harvard!wow!to president faust, my fellow honorands, carl that was so beautiful, thank you so much, and james rothenberg, stephanie wilson, harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend lewis of you alumni with a special bow to the class of 88, your hundred fifteen million to you, members of the harvard class of 2013!hello!a it while i may not have graduated from here i admit that my 比爾明年,我就要換工作了(注:指從微軟公司退休)??我終于可以在簡歷上寫我有一個本科學位,這真是不錯啊。哈佛的校報稱我是“哈佛大學歷史上最成功的輟學生”。but i also want to be recognized as the guy who got steve ballmer to drop out of business a bad why i was invited to speak at your i had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here ,我還要提醒大家,我使得steve ballmer(注:微軟總經(jīng)理)也從哈佛商學院退學了。這就是為什么我被邀請來在你們的畢業(yè)典禮上演講。harvard was just a phenomenal experience for life was used to sit in on lots of classes i hadnt even signed up dorm life was lived up at radcliffe, in currier were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew i didnt worry about getting up in the how i came to be the leader of the antisocial clung to each other as a way of validating our rejection of all those social ,哈佛的求學經(jīng)歷是一段非凡的經(jīng)歷。哈佛的課外生活也很棒,我在radcliffe過著逍遙自在的日子。因為每個人都知道我從不考慮第二天早起。radcliffe是個過日子的好地方。這種狀況為我創(chuàng)造了最好的機會,如果你們明白我的意思。我在哈佛最難忘的回憶之一,發(fā)生在1975年1月。我提出想向他們出售軟件。但是他們卻說:“我們還沒準備好,一個月后你再來找我們吧。就是從那個時候起,我日以繼夜地在這個小小的課外項目上工作,這導致了我學生生活的結(jié)束,以及通往微軟公司的不平凡的旅程的開始。哈佛的生活令人愉快,也令人感到有壓力,有時甚至會感到泄氣,但永遠充滿了挑戰(zhàn)性。but taking a serious look back ? i do have one big ,如果現(xiàn)在嚴肅地回憶起來,我確實有一個真正的遺憾。人類在健康、財富和機遇上的不平等大得可怕,它們使得無數(shù)的人們被迫生活在絕望之中。我也了解了很多科學上的新進展。不管通過何種手段——民主制度、健全的公共教育體系、高質(zhì)量的醫(yī)療保健、還是廣泛的經(jīng)濟機會——減少不平等始終是人類最大的成就。我也不知道,發(fā)展中國家里有無數(shù)的人們生活在無法形容的貧窮和疾病之中。you graduates came to harvard at a different know more about the worlds inequities than the classes that came your years here, i hope youve had a chance to think about how – in this age of accelerating technology – we can finally take on these inequities, and we can solve ,你們是在與我不同的時代來到哈佛的。在你們的哈佛求學過程中,我希望你們已經(jīng)思考過一個問題,那就是在這個新技術(shù)加速發(fā)展的時代,我們怎樣最終應對這種不平等,以及我們怎樣來解決這個問題。你會選擇什么地方? for melinda and for me, the challenge is the same: how can we do the most good for the greatest number with the resources we (注:蓋茨的妻子)和我來說,這也是我們面臨的問題:我們?nèi)绾文軐⑽覀儞碛械馁Y源發(fā)揮出最大的作用。麻疹、瘧疾、肺炎、乙型肝炎、黃熱病、還有一種以前我從未聽說過的輪狀病毒,這些疾病每年導致50萬兒童死亡,但是在美國一例死亡病例也沒有。我們想,如果幾百萬兒童正在死亡線上掙扎,而且他們是可以被挽救的,那么世界理應將用藥物拯救他們作為頭等大事。那些價格還不到一美元的救命的藥劑,并沒有送到他們的手中。我們對自己說:“事情不可能如此?!?so we began our work in the same way anyone here would begin asked: how could the world let these children die? 所以,我們用任何人都會想到的方式開始工作。在市場經(jīng)濟中,拯救兒童是一項沒有利潤的工作,政府也不會提供補助。but you and i have ,你們和我在經(jīng)濟上有實力,在政治上能夠
