the world in which we live is a very beautiful world. about seven-tenths of the earth is water while three-tenths is land.
water is “life food” of our earth.. it runs through mountains and valleys. it forms lakes and seas.
at the mouths of the rivers,fresh water joins the salt water of the sea. here at the mouth of a river, there is very important plant and animal life.
what a beautiful day: the sun is shining and the sky is so blue. the land, oceans,mountains and rivers, plants and animals…everything looks bright and gay.
the sun gives us light, keeps us warm and makes things grow.
sometimes,white clouds are like ships sailing across the sky.
sometimes, the dark clouds bring us rain or snow. sometimes, after the rain, you can see a very beautiful rainbow across the sky.
at night, we can seee thousands of stars and sometimes, the big round moon. the dark sky dotted with bright stars is like a picture! there is so much to see in our beautiful world.

acts on green olympics
only if we can understand,can we care;
only if we care,will we help;
only if we help,shall we be saved.
i am very proud of living in beijing, the capital of china. every chinese is e_cited about the result that beijing has succeeded in bidding the 2008 olympics. in 2008, athletes from all over the world will come to beijing. how will be beijing like at that time? let me describe it for you------the environment of beijing will be greatly improved then. green trees will be standing along the roads and streets. flowers will be blossoming on the partition area of the roads. birds will be swimming happily in the green river. all the beautiful scenery will be more than the eye could take in.
the "green olympics" is one of the major themes of 2008 olympics. nowadays, environmental issue is becoming more and more serious, so environment protection is of great urgency. every one of us should contribute to this great task.
i am one of the members of "roots and shoots" group in wen hui middle school. "roots and shoots" is a program about environment and humanitarianism education opened to the youth of all over the world sponsored by jane goodall"s research committee. to welcome the 2008 olympics, our group organized lots of activities on environment protection. in this april, we took part in an activity named "cartridges for dragon recycling", which is jointly sponsored by "roots and shoots", "friends of nature" and hp company. the retrieve plan of consume materials aims to decrease the impact of rubbish bury by means of filling or covering to environment by providing simple and environmental protected method to the customers for used printing ink bo_es retrieve.just like doctor jane goodall said:" every individual matters; every individual has role to play; every individual makes a difference. i"ll try my best to promote this concept to people around me. i believe that every one of us should start at some trivial matters around us and act from oneself to protect our environment, returning the clear sky and green water to beijing. i"m confident when foreign friends come to beijing for olympics in 2008, they will heartily praise:" beijing is so beautiful!"
绿色奥运见行动
唯有了解,我们才会关心;
唯有关心,我们才会行动;
唯有行动,生命才会有希望。
我很自豪,因为我生活在中国的首都--北京。北京申办下了2008年的奥运会,每一个中国人都激动不已。到2008年,世界各地的运动员都要来到中国北京,北京会是什么样子呢?让我来描绘一下吧:北京的环境将会有很大的改善,道路两旁种满了绿树,隔离带上开满了鲜花,鸟儿飞翔在蓝蓝的天空上,鱼儿畅游在清清的河水中。景色将会美不胜收。
绿色奥运是我们承办的奥运会的主题之一。如今,环境问题已经愈发严峻,保护环境刻不容缓。我们每一个人都应为此贡献出自己的一份力量。
我是文汇中学"根与芽"小组的一名成员。"根与芽"是珍妮·古道尔研究会面向全球青年关于环境与人道主义教育的项目。为了迎接奥运,我们"根与芽"小组组织了很多有关保护环境的活动。就在4月份,我们参加了一个"循环巨龙:耗材回收"的活动。这个活动是由地球村、根与芽、自然之友和惠普公司联手打造的。耗材回收计划是为了减少堆填和掩埋垃圾对环境带来的影响,为用户提供简单并环保的方法回收用过的打印机墨盒及墨粉盒。
这个活动在同学中的反响很大,因为它与我们息息相关。全校同学都积极参与,大家了解到:耗材如果被弃置在环境中或掩埋,它很难降解,有的还会对环境造成污染。事实上其中的许多成分都可以再回收利用,如:塑料、调色剂、泡沫塑料、海绵、碳粉以及各种金属等等,这些原料加工以后又可以制成新的产品,如:e-木、再循环的塑料、公园长凳子、文具等等。通过耗材回收,可以减少被堆填或掩埋的耗材,从而减少对环境的污染。短暂的一个月内,我和同学们就收集了100多个墨盒。没有使用耗材的同学也都在积极做着宣传工作。可见保护环境的理念已经深入到同学们的心中,每个人都在为保护环境,举办一届绿色奥运尽着自己的一份力量。
正如珍妮·古道尔博士所说:"每一个人都很重要;每一个人都能发挥作用;每一个人都能带来变化。"我还要尽我的力量向身边的人宣传这些理念。我认为每一个人要从身边的小事做起,从自己做起,保护环境,还北京一片绿水蓝天。当2008年奥运会外国友人来到北京的时候,一定会由衷地赞叹:"北京真美呀!"

尊敬的bok校长,rudenstine前校长,即将上任的faust校长,哈佛集团的各位成员,监管理事会的各位理事,各位老师,各位家长,各位同学:
i"ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: "dad, i always told you i"d come back and get my degree."
有一句话我等了三十年,现在终于可以说了:“老爸,我总是跟你说,我会回来拿到我的学位的!”
i want to thank harvard for this timely honor. i"ll be changing my job ne_t year…and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.
我要感谢哈佛大学在这个时候给我这个荣誉。明年,我就要换工作了(注:指从微软公司退休)……我终于可以在简历上写我有一个本科学位,这真是不错啊。
i applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. for my part, i"m just happy that the crimson has called me "harvard"s most successful dropout." i guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class…i did the best of everyone who failed.
我为今天在座的各位同学感到高兴,你们拿到学位可比我简单多了。哈佛的校报称我是“哈佛大学历史上最成功的辍学生”。我想这大概使我有资格代表我这一类学生发言……在所有的失败者里,我做得最好。
but i also want to be recognized as the guy who got steve ballmer to drop out of business school. i"m a bad influence. that"s why i was invited to speak at your graduation. if i had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.
但是,我还要提醒大家,我使得steve ballmer(注:微软总经理)也从哈佛商学院退学了。因此,我是个有着恶劣影响力的人。这就是为什么我被邀请来在你们的毕业典礼上演讲。如果我在你们入学欢迎仪式上演讲,那么能够坚持到今天在这里毕业的人也许会少得多吧。
harvard was just a phenomenal e_perience for me. academic life was fascinating. i used to sit in on lots of classes i hadn"t even signed up for. and dorm life was terrific. i lived up at radcliffe, in currier house. there were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew i didn"t worry about getting up in the morning. that"s how i came to be the leader of the anti-social group. we clung to each other as a way of validating our rejection of all those social people.
对我来说,哈佛的求学经历是一段非凡的经历。校园生活很有趣,我常去旁听我没选修的课。哈佛的课外生活也很棒,我在radcliffe过着逍遥自在的日子。每天我的寝室里总有很多人一直待到半夜,讨论着各种事情。因为每个人都知道我从不考虑第二天早起。这使得我变成了校园里那些不安分学生的头头,我们互相粘在一起,做出一种拒绝所有正常学生的姿态。
radcliffe was a great place to live. there were more women up there, and most of the guys were science-math types. that combination offered me the best odds, if you know what i mean. this is where i learned the sad lesson that improving your odds doesn"t guarantee success.
radcliffe是个过日子的好地方。那里的女生比男生多,而且大多数男生都是理工科的。这种状况为我创造了最好的机会,如果你们明白我的意思。可惜的是,我正是在这里学到了人生中悲伤的一课:机会大,并不等于你就会成功。
one of my biggest memories of harvard came in january 1975, when i made a call from currier house to a company in albuquerque that had begun making the world"s first personal computers. i offered to sell them software.
我在哈佛最难忘的回忆之一,发生在1975年1月。那时,我从宿舍楼里给位于albuquerque的一家公司打了一个电话,那家公司已经在着手制造世界上第一台个人电脑。我提出想向他们出售软件。
i worried that they would realize i was just a student in a dorm and hang up on me. instead they said: "we"re not quite ready, come see us in a month," which was a good thing, because we hadn"t written the software yet. from that moment, i worked day and night on this little e_tra credit project that marked the end of my college education and the beginning of a remarkable journey with microsoft.
我很担心,他们会发觉我是一个住在宿舍的学生,从而挂断电话。但是他们却说:“我们还没准备好,一个月后你再来找我们吧。”这是个好消息,因为那时软件还根本没有写出来呢。就是从那个时候起,我日以继夜地在这个小小的课外项目上工作,这导致了我学生生活的结束,以及通往微软公司的不平凡的旅程的开始。
what i remember above all about harvard was being in the midst of so much energy and intelligence. it could be e_hilarating, intimidating, sometimes even discouraging, but always challenging. it was an amazing privilege…and though i left early, i was transformed by my years at harvard, the friendships i made, and the ideas i worked on.
不管怎样,我对哈佛的回忆主要都与充沛的精力和智力活动有关。哈佛的生活令人愉快,也令人感到有压力,有时甚至会感到泄气,但永远充满了挑战性。生活在哈佛是一种吸引人的特殊待遇……虽然我离开得比较早,但是我在这里的经历、在这里结识的朋友、在这里发展起来的一些想法,永远地改变了我。
but taking a serious look back…i do have one big regret.
但是,如果现在严肃地回忆起来,我确实有一个真正的遗憾。
i left harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities in the world--the appalling disparities of health, and wealth, and opportunity that condemn millions of people to lives of despair.
我离开哈佛的时候,根本没有意识到这个世界是多么的不平等。人类在健康、财富和机遇上的不平等大得可怕,它们使得无数的人们被迫生活在绝望之中。
i left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities here in this country. and i knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries.
我离开校园的时候,根本不知道在这个国家里,有几百万的年轻人无法获得接受教育的机会。我也不知道,发展中国家里有无数的人们生活在无法形容的贫穷和疾病之中。
it took me decades to find out.
我花了几十年才明白了这些事情。
you graduates came to harvard at a different time. you know more about the world"s inequities than the classes that came before. in your years here, i hope you"ve had a chance to think about how--in this age of accelerating technology--we can finally take on these inequities, and we can solve them.
在座的各位同学,你们是在与我不同的时代来到哈佛的。你们比以前的学生,更多地了解世界是怎样的不平等。在你们的哈佛求学过程中,我希望你们已经思考过一个问题,那就是在这个新技术加速发展的时代,我们怎样最终应对这种不平等,以及我们怎样来解决这个问题。
imagine, just for the sake of discussion, that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause--and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving lives. where would you spend it?
为了讨论的方便,请想象一下,假如你每个星期可以捐献一些时间、每个月可以捐献一些钱——你希望这些时间和金钱,可以用到对拯救生命和改善人类生活有最大作用的地方。你会选择什么地方?
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 have.
对melinda(注:盖茨的妻子)和我来说,这也是我们面临的问题:我们如何能将我们拥有的资源发挥出最大的作用。
during our discussions on this question, melinda and i read an article about the millions of children who were dying every year in poor countries from diseases that we had long ago made harmless in this country. measles, malaria, pneumonia, hepatitis b, yellow fever. one disease i had never even heard of, rotavirus, was killing half a million kids each year ? none of them in the united states.
在讨论过程中,melinda和我读到了文章,里面说在那些贫穷的国家,每年有数百万的儿童死于那些在美国早已不成问题的疾病。麻疹、疟疾、肺炎、乙型肝炎、黄热病、还有一种以前我从未听说过的轮状病毒,这些疾病每年导致50万儿童死亡,但是在美国一例死亡病例也没有。
we were shocked. we had just assumed that if millions of children were dying and they could be saved, the world would make it a priority to discover and deliver the medicines to save them. but it did not. for under a dollar, there were interventions that could save lives that just weren"t being delivered.
我们被震惊了。我们想,如果几百万儿童正在死亡线上挣扎,而且他们是可以被挽救的,那么世界理应将用药物拯救他们作为头等大事。但是事实并非如此。那些价格还不到一美元的救命的药剂,并没有送到他们的手中。
if you believe that every life has equal value, it"s revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not. we said to ourselves: "this can"t be true. but if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving."
如果你相信每个生命都是平等的,那么当你发现某些生命被挽救了,而另一些生命被放弃了,你会感到无法接受。我们对自己说:“事情不可能如此。如果这是真的,那么它理应是我们努力的头等大事。”
so we began our work in the same way anyone here would begin it. we asked: "how could the world let these children die?"
所以,我们用任何人都会想到的方式开始工作。我们问:“这个世界怎么可以眼睁睁看着这些孩子死去?”
the answer is simple, and harsh. the market did not reward saving the lives of these children, and governments did not subsidize it. so the children died because their mothers and their fathers had no power in the market and no voice in the system.
答案很简单,也很令人难堪。在市场经济中,拯救儿童是一项没有利润的工作,政府也不会提供补助。这些儿童之所以会死亡,是因为他们的父母在经济上没有实力,在政治上没有能力发出声音。
but you and i have both.
但是,你们和我在经济上有实力,在政治上能够发出声音。
we can make market forces work better for the poor if we can develop a more creative capitalism ? if we can stretch the reach of market forces so that more people can make a profit, or at least make a living, serving people who are suffering from the worst inequities. we also can press governments around the world to spend ta_payer money in ways that better reflect the values of the people who pay the ta_es.
我们可以让市场更好地为穷人服务,如果我们能够设计出一种更有创新性的资本主义制度——如果我们可以改变市场,让更多的人可以获得利润,或者至少可以维持生活——那么,这就可以帮到那些正在极端不平等的状况中受苦的人们。我们还可以向全世界的政府施压,要求他们将纳税人的钱,花到更符合纳税人价值观的地方。
if we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world. this task is open-ended. it can never be finished. but a conscious effort to answer this challenge will change the world.
如果我们能够找到这样一种方法,既可以帮到穷人,又可以为商人带来利润,为政治家带来选票,那么我们就找到了一种减少世界性不平等的可持续的发展道路。这个任务是无限的。它不可能被完全完成,但是任何自觉地解决这个问题的尝试,都将会改变这个世界。
i am optimistic that we can do this, but i talk to skeptics who claim there is no hope. they say: "inequity has been with us since the beginning, and will be with us till the end ? because people just…don"t…care." i completely disagree.
在这个问题上,我是乐观的。但是,我也遇到过那些感到绝望的怀疑主义者。他们说:“不平等从人类诞生的第一天就存在,到人类灭亡的最后一天也将存在。——因为人类对这个问题根本不在乎。”我完全不能同意这种观点。
i believe we have more caring than we know what to do with.
我相信,问题不是我们不在乎,而是我们不知道怎么做。
all of us here in this yard, at one time or another, have seen human tragedies that broke our hearts, and yet we did nothing--not because we didn"t care, but because we didn"t know what to do. if we had known how to help, we would have acted.
此刻在这个院子里的所有人,生命中总有这样或那样的时刻,目睹人类的悲剧,感到万分伤心。但是我们什么也没做,并非我们无动于衷,而是因为我们不知道做什么和怎么做。如果我们知道如何做是有效的,那么我们就会采取行动。
the barrier to change is not too little caring; it is too much comple_ity.
改变世界的阻碍,并非人类的冷漠,而是世界实在太复杂。
to turn caring into action, we need to see a problem, see a solution, and see the impact. but comple_ity blocks all three steps.
为了将关心转变为行动,我们需要找到问题,发现解决办法的方法以及评估后果。但是世界的复杂性使得这三步都难于做到。
if we can really see a problem, which is the first step, we come to the second step: cutting through the comple_ity to find a solution.
就算我们真正发现了问题所在,也不过是迈出了第一步,接着还有第二步:那就是从复杂的事件中找到解决办法。
finding solutions is essential if we want to make the most of our caring. if we have clear and proven answers anytime an organization or individual asks "how can i help?," then we can get action--and we can make sure that none of the caring in the world is wasted. but comple_ity makes it hard to mark a path of action for everyone who cares--and that makes it hard for their caring to matter.
如果我们要让关心落到实处,我们就必须找到解决办法。如果我们有一个清晰的和可靠的答案,那么当任何组织和个人发出疑问“如何我能提供帮助”的时候,我们就能采取行动。我们就能够保证不浪费一丁点全世界人类对他人的关心。但是,世界的复杂性使得很难找到对全世界每一个有爱心的人都有效的行动方法,因此人类对他人的关心往往很难产生实际效果。
cutting through comple_ity to find a solution runs through four predictable stages: determine a goal, find the highest-leverage approach, discover the ideal technology for that approach, and in the meantime, make the smartest application of the technology that you already have--whether it"s something sophisticated, like a drug, or something simpler, like a bednet.
从这个复杂的世界中找到解决办法,可以分为四个步骤:确定目标,找到最高效的方法,发现适用于这个方法的新技术,同时最聪明地利用现有的技术,不管它是复杂的药物,还是最简单的蚊帐。
the aids epidemic offers an e_ample. the broad goal, of course, is to end the disease. the highest-leverage approach is prevention. the ideal technology would be a vaccine that gives lifetime immunity with a single dose. so governments, drug companies, and foundations fund vaccine research. but their work is likely to take more than a decade, so in the meantime, we have to work with what we have in hand--and the best prevention approach we have now is getting people to avoid risky behavior.
艾滋病就是一个例子。总的目标,毫无疑问是消灭这种疾病。最高效的方法是预防。最理想的技术是发明一种疫苗,只要注射一次,就可以终生免疫。所以,政府、制药公司、基金会应该资助疫苗研究。但是,这样研究工作很可能十年之内都无法完成。因此,与此同时,我们必须使用现有的技术,目前最有效的预防方法就是设法让人们避免那些危险的行为。
pursuing that goal starts the four-step 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 comple_ity and quit.
要实现这个新的目标,又可以采用新的四步循环。这是一种模式。关键的东西是永远不要停止思考和行动。我们千万不能再犯上个世纪在疟疾和肺结核上犯过的错误,那时我们因为它们太复杂,而放弃了采取行动。
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 efforts.
在发现问题和找到解决方法之后,就是最后一步——评估工作结果,将你的成功经验或者失败经验传播出去,这样其他人就可以从你的努力中有所收获。
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.
当然,你必须有一些统计数字。你必须让他人知道,你的项目为几百万儿童新接种了疫苗。你也必须让他人知道,儿童死亡人数下降了多少。这些都是很关键的,不仅有利于改善项目效果,也有利于从商界和政府得到更多的帮助。
but if you want to inspire people to participate, you have to show more than numbers; you have to convey the human impact of the work ? so people can feel what saving a life means to the families affected.
但是,这些还不够,如果你想激励其他人参加你的项目,你就必须拿出更多的统计数字;你必须展示你的项目的人性因素,这样其他人就会感到拯救一个生命,对那些处在困境中的家庭到底意味着什么。
the defining and ongoing innovations of this age--biotechnology, the computer, the internet--give us a chance we"ve never had before to end e_treme poverty and end death from preventable disease.
这个时代无时无刻不在涌现出新的革新——生物技术,计算机,互联网——它们给了我们一个从未有过的机会,去终结那些极端的贫穷和非恶性疾病的死亡。
the emergence of low-cost personal computers gave rise to a powerful network that has transformed opportunities for learning and communicating.
低成本的个人电脑的出现,使得一个强大的互联网有机会诞生,它为学习和交流提供了巨大的机会。
the magical thing about this network is not just that it collapses distance and makes everyone your neighbor. it also dramatically increases the number of brilliant minds we can have working together on the same problem--and that scales up the rate of innovation to a staggering degree.
网络的神奇之处,不仅仅是它缩短了物理距离,使得天涯若比邻。它还极大地增加了怀有共同想法的人们聚集在一起的机会,我们可以为了解决同一个问题,一起共同工作。这就大大加快了革新的进程,发展速度简直快得让人震惊。
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 e_perience who don"t have the technology to hone their talents or contribute their ideas to the world.
与此同时,世界上有条件上网的人,只是全部人口的六分之一。这意味着,还有许多具有创造性的人们,没有加入到我们的讨论中来。那些有着实际的操作经验和相关经历的聪明人,却没有技术来帮助他们,将他们的天赋或者想法与全世界分享。
we need as many people as possible to have access to this technology, because these advances are triggering a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. they are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, corporations, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches, and measure the impact of their efforts to address the hunger, poverty, and desperation george marshall spoke of 60 years ago.
我们需要尽可能地让更多的人有机会使用新技术,因为这些新技术正在引发一场革命,人类将因此可以互相帮助。新技术正在创造一种可能,不仅是政府,还包括大学、公司、小机构、甚至个人,能够发现问题所在、能够找到解决办法、能够评估他们努力的效果,去改变那些马歇尔六十年前就说到过的问题——饥饿、贫穷和绝望。
members of the harvard family: here in the yard is one of the great collections of intellectual talent in the world.
哈佛是一个大家庭。这个院子里在场的人们,是全世界最有智力的人类群体之一。
what for?
我们可以做些什么?
there is no question that the faculty, the alumni, 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?
毫无疑问,哈佛的老师、校友、学生和资助者,已经用他们的能力改善了全世界各地人们的生活。但是,我们还能够再做什么呢?有没有可能,哈佛的人们可以将他们的智慧,用来帮助那些甚至从来没有听到过“哈佛”这个名字的人?
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:
请允许我向各位院长和教授,提出一个请求——你们是哈佛的智力领袖,当你们雇用新的老师、授予终身教职、评估课程、决定学位颁发标准的时候,请问你们自己如下的问题:
should our best minds be dedicated to solving our biggest problems?
我们最优秀的人才是否在致力于解决我们最大的问题?
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?
哈佛是否鼓励她的老师去研究解决世界上最严重的不平等?哈佛的学生是否从全球那些极端的贫穷中学到了什么……世界性的饥荒……清洁的水资源的缺乏……无法上学的女童……死于非恶性疾病的儿童……哈佛的学生有没有从中学到东西?
should the world"s most privileged people learn about the lives of the world"s least privileged?
那些世界上过着最优越生活的人们,有没有从那些最困难的人们身上学到东西?
these are not rhetorical questions--you will answer with your policies.
这些问题并非语言上的修辞。你必须用自己的行动来回答它们。
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 e_pect from us.
想一想吧,我们在这个院子里的这些人,被给予过什么——天赋、特权、机遇——那么可以这样说,全世界的人们几乎有无限的权力,期待我们做出贡献。
in line with the promise of this age, i want to e_hort each of the graduates here to take on an issue--a comple_ problem, a deep inequity, and become a specialist on it. if you make it the focus of your career, that would be phenomenal. but you don"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.
同这个时代的期望一样,我也要向今天各位毕业的同学提出一个忠告:你们要选择一个问题,一个复杂的问题,一个有关于人类深刻的不平等的问题,然后你们要变成这个问题的专家。如果你们能够使得这个问题成为你们职业的核心,那么你们就会非常杰出。但是,你们不必一定要去做那些大事。每个星期只用几个小时,你就可以通过互联网得到信息,找到志同道合的朋友,发现困难所在,找到解决它们的途径。
don"t let comple_ity stop you. be activists. take on the big inequities. it will be one of the great e_periences of your lives.
不要让这个世界的复杂性阻碍你前进。要成为一个行动主义者。将解决人类的不平等视为己任。它将成为你生命中最重要的经历之一。
you graduates are coming 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.
在座的各位毕业的同学,你们所处的时代是一个神奇的时代。当你们离开哈佛的时候,你们拥有的技术,是我们那一届学生所没有的。你们已经了解到了世界上的不平等,我们那时还不知道这些。有了这样的了解之后,要是你再弃那些你可以帮助的人们于不顾,就将受到良心的谴责,只需一点小小的努力,你就可以改变那些人们的生活。你们比我们拥有更大的能力;你们必须尽早开始,尽可能长时期坚持下去。
knowing what you know, how could you not?
知道了你们所知道的一切,你们怎么可能不采取行动呢?
and i hope you will come 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 accomplishments 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 common with you but their humanity.
我希望,30年后你们还会再回到哈佛,想起你们用自己的天赋和能力所做出的一切。我希望,在那个时候,你们用来评价自己的标准,不仅仅是你们的专业成就,而包括你们为改变这个世界深刻的不平等所做出的努力,以及你们如何善待那些远隔千山万水、与你们毫不涉及的人们,你们与他们唯一的共同点就是同为人类。
good luck.
祝各位好运。

i wanna welcome everybody here in this cheer team. thank you for coming here this morning to stand on my side cheering me on. it’s my dream to have the opportunity to challenge all the foreign athletes to the championship at this great occasion: 2024 olympic games. now, the dream came true. as an athlete of china, i’m here to win the gold medal of orienteering for our motherland.
i’m so proud of being one of the best players in the world. but could you believe i had been a lazy girl when i was in junior high. i’m not kidding! at that time, running was my last favorite. i really don’t know how to describe the first time i was on the track. it was horrible. when i started to run, i was simply out of breath. and while i touched the finishing line, i really didn’t know if i was still alive. it’s so funny, huh? but it’s true, i did.
well, something happened and changed the situation. we won the right of holding the olympic games in 2024. after that, sports became a kind of game in campus. and there are many sports clubs in school. one day someone asked me:“are you gonna try one of those?”first i felt so wired.
“try to get into sports clubs? are you kidding?” i said. and she goes: “why not?? it’s not hard at all, and so fascinating!” so i did tried one and i was so lucky to become one of those who did orienteering. that is a fantastic sport! you need to run and find where to go just by using a map and a compass. it’s wasn’t popular in china at first. but when we heard it might become a new event in 2024, we did practiced hard, and aimed to win the first champion of orienteering in the world. when we practiced, there were a lot of troubles. you know, sometimes you need to go with your feet, but sometimes you need to go with your heart. in some situations, we faced the difficulties and problems. and we need to solve that through teamwork and strong willpower. so we can run faster, go higher and be stronger. that is what we say—olympic spirit.
now the dream came true. i’m standing here with all my body and my heart put in sports. so do the people from all over the world to here at the olympic games. it’s the olympic games that make us together. we are here for a big day of sport; we are here for a dream of sports. we are here for a spirit of sport that encourages us to face the difficulties of today and tomorrow.

george had a friend. his name was mark. one day george offered to take mark up in his plane. mark thought, "i"ve travelled in a big plane several times, but i"ve never been in a small one, so i"ll go."
they went up, and george flew around for half an hour and did all kinds of tricks in the air.
when they came down again, mark was very glad to be back safely, and he said to his friend in a shaking voice, "well, george, thank you very much for those two trips in your plane."
george was very surprised and said, "two trips?"
"yes, my first and my last," answered mark.

chancellor wrighton, members of the board of trustees and the administration, distinguished faculty, class of 1965, hard-working staff, my fellow honorees, proud and relieved parents, calm and serene grandparents, distracted but secretly pleased siblings, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, graduating students, good morning. i am deeply honored that you have asked me here to say a few words at this momentous occasion, that you might find what i have to say worthy of your attention on so important a day at this remarkable institution.
it had been my intention this morning to parcel out some good advice at the end of theseremarks – the "goodness" of that being of course subjective in the e_treme – but then irealized that this is the land of mark twain, and i came to the conclusion that anycommentary today ought to be framed in the sublime shadow of this quote of his: "it"s notthat the world is full of fools, it"s just that lightening isn"t distributed right." … more on mr.twain later.
i am in the business of history. it is my job to try to discern some patterns and themes fromthe past to help us interpret our dizzyingly confusing and sometimes dismaying present.without a knowledge of that past, how can we possibly know where we are and, mostimportant, where we are going? over the years i"ve come to understand an important fact, ithink: that we are not condemned to repeat, as the cliché goes and we are fond of quoting,what we don"t remember. that"s a clever, even poetic phrase, but not even close to the truth.nor are there cycles of history, as the academic community periodically promotes. the bible,ecclesiastes to be specific, got it right, i think: "what has been will be again. what has beendone will be done again. there is nothing new under the sun."
what that means is that human nature never changes. or almost never changes. we havecontinually superimposed our comple_ and contradictory nature over the random course ofhuman events. all of our inherent strengths and weaknesses, our greed and generosity, ourpuritanism and our prurience parade before our eyes, generation after generation aftergeneration. this often gives us the impression that history does repeat itself. it doesn"t. itjust rhymes, mark twain is supposed to have said…but he didn"t (more on him later).
over the many years of practicing, i have come to the realization that history is not a fi_edthing, a collection of precise dates, facts and events (even cogent commencement quotes)that add up to a quantifiable, certain, confidently known, truth. it is a mysterious andmalleable thing. and each generation rediscovers and re-e_amines that part of its past thatgives its present, and most important, its future new meaning, new possibilities and new power.
listen. for most of the forty years i"ve been making historical documentaries, i have beenhaunted and inspired by a handful of sentences from an e_traordinary speech i came acrossearly in my professional life by a neighbor of yours just up the road in springfield, illinois. injanuary of 1838, shortly before his 29th birthday, a tall, thin lawyer, prone to bouts ofdebilitating depression, addressed the young men"s lyceum. the topic that day was nationalsecurity. "at what point shall we e_pect the approach of danger?" he asked his audience. "…shall we e_pect some transatlantic military giant to step the earth and crush us at a blow?"then he answered his own question: "never. all the armies of europe, asia, and africa … couldnot by force take a drink from the ohio [river] or make a track on the blue ridge in a trial of athousand years … if destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. as anation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." it is a stunning,remarkable statement.
that young man was, of course, abraham lincoln, and he would go on to preside over theclosest this country has ever come to near national suicide, our civil war – fought over themeaning of freedom in america. and yet embedded in his e_traordinary, disturbing andprescient words is a fundamental optimism that implicitly acknowledges the geographicalforce-field two mighty oceans and two relatively benign neighbors north and south haveprovided for us since the british burned the white house in the war of 1812.
we have counted on abraham lincoln for more than a century and a half to get it right whenthe undertow in the tide of those human events has threatened to overwhelm and capsize us.we always come back to him for the kind of sustaining vision of why we americans still agree tocohere, why unlike any other country on earth, we are still stitched together by words and, mostimportant, their dangerous progeny, ideas. we return to him for a sense of unity, conscienceand national purpose. to escape what the late historian arthur schlesinger, jr., said is ourproblem today: "too much pluribus, not enough unum."
it seems to me that lincoln gave our fragile e_periment a conscious shock that enabled it tooutgrow the monumental hypocrisy of slavery inherited at our founding and permitted us all,slave owner as well as slave, to have literally, as he put it at gettysburg, "a new birth offreedom."
lincoln"s springfield speech also suggests what is so great and so good about the people whoinhabit this lucky and e_quisite country of ours (that"s the world you now inherit): our workethic, our restlessness, our innovation and our improvisation, our communities and ourinstitutions of higher learning, our suspicion of power; the fact that we seem resolutelydedicated to parsing the meaning between individual and collective freedom; that we arededicated to understanding what thomas jefferson really meant when he wrote thatinscrutable phrase "the pursuit of happiness."
but ladies and gentlemen, the isolation of those two mighty oceans has also helped toincubate habits and patterns less beneficial to us: our devotion to money and guns; ourcertainty – about everything; our stubborn insistence on our own e_ceptionalism, blinding usto that which needs repair, our preoccupation with always making the other wrong, at anindividual as well as global level.
and then there is the issue of race, which was foremost on the mind of lincoln back in 1838. itis still here with us today. the jazz trumpeter wynton marsalis told me that healing thisquestion of race was what "the kingdom needed in order to be well." before the enormousstrides in equality achieved in statutes and laws in the 150 years since the civil war thatlincoln correctly predicted would come are in danger of being undone by our still imperfecthuman nature and by politicians who now insist on a hypocritical color-blindness – after fourcenturies of discrimination. that discrimination now takes on new, sometimes subtler, lessobvious but still malevolent forms today. the chains of slavery have been broken, thank god,and so too has the feudal dependence of sharecroppers as the vengeful jim crow era recedes(sort of) into the distant past. but now in places like – but not limited to – your otherneighbors a few miles as the crow flies from here in ferguson, we see the ghastly remnants ofour great shame emerging still, the shame lincoln thought would lead to national suicide, ourinability to see beyond the color of someone"s skin. it has been with us since our founding.
when thomas jefferson wrote that immortal second sentence of the declaration that begins, "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…," he owned more thana hundred human beings. he never saw the contradiction, he never saw the hypocrisy, andmore important never saw fit in his lifetime to free any one of those human beings, ensuring aswe went forward that the young united states – born with such glorious promise – would bebedeviled by race, that it would take a bloody, bloody civil war to even begin to redress theimbalance.
but the shame continues: prison populations e_ploding with young black men, young black menkilled almost weekly by policemen, whole communities of color burdened by corruptmunicipalities that resemble more the predatory company store of a supposedly bygone erathan a responsible local government. our cities and towns and suburbs cannot become modernplantations.
it is unconscionable, as you emerge from this privileged sanctuary, that a few miles fromhere – and nearly everywhere else in america: baltimore, new york city, north charleston,cleveland, oklahoma, sanford, florida, nearly everywhere else – we are still playing out, sadly,an utterly american story, that the same stultifying conditions and sentiments that brought onour civil war are still on such vivid and unpleasant display. today, today. there"s nothingnew under the sun.
many years after our civil war, in 1883, mark twain took up writing in earnest a novel he hadstarted and abandoned several times over the last half-dozen years. it would be a different kindof story from his celebrated tom sawyer book, told this time in the plain language of hismissouri boyhood – and it would be his masterpiece.
set near here, before the civil war and emancipation, ‘the adventures of huckleberry finn" isthe story of two runaways – a white boy, tom sawyer"s old friend huck, fleeing civilization, anda black man, jim, who is running away from slavery. they escape together on a raft goingdown the mississippi.the novel reaches its moral clima_ when huck is faced with a terrible choice. he believes he has committed a grievous sin in helping jim escape, and he finally writes out a letter, telling jim"s owner where her runaway property can be found. huck feels good about doing this at first, he says, and marvels at "how close i came to being lost and going to hell."
but then he hesitates, thinking about how kind jim has been to him during their adventure. "…somehow," huck says, "i couldn"t seem to strike no place to harden me against him, but only the other kind. i"d see him standing my watch on top of his"n, ‘stead of calling me, so i could go on sleeping; and see how glad he was when i come back out of the fog;…and such like times; and would always call me honey…and do everything he could think of for me, and how good he always was…"
then, huck remembers the letter he has written. "i took it up, and held it in my hand," he says. "i was a-trembling because i"d got to decide, forever, betwi_t two things, and i knowed it. i studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: ‘all right then, i"ll go to hell" – and tore it up."
that may be the finest moment in all of american literature. ernest hemingway thought all of american literature began at that moment.
twain, himself, writing after the civil war and after the collapse of reconstruction, a misunderstood period devoted to trying to enforce civil rights, was actually e_pressing his profound disappointment that racial differences still persisted in america, that racism still festered in this favored land, founded as it was on the most noble principle yet advanced by humankind – that all men are created equal. that civil war had not cleansed our original sin, a sin we continue to confront today, daily, in this supposedly enlightened "post-racial" time.
it is into this disorienting and sometimes disappointing world that you now plummet, i"m afraid, unprotected from the shelter of family and school. you have fresh prospects and real dreams and i wish each and every one of you the very best. but i am drafting you now into a new union army that must be committed to preserving the values, the sense of humor, the sense of cohesion that have long been a part of our american nature, too. you have no choice, you"ve been called up, and it is your difficult, but great and challenging responsibility to help change things and set us right again.
let me apologize to you in advance on behalf of all the people up here. we broke it, but you"ve got to fi_ it. you"re joining a movement that must be dedicated above all else – career and personal advancement – to the preservation of this country"s most enduring ideals. you have to learn, and then re-teach the rest of us that equality – real equality – is the hallmark and birthright of all americans. thankfully, you will become a vanguard against a new separatism that seems to have infected our ranks, a vanguard against those forces that, in the name of our great democracy, have managed to diminish it. then, you can change human nature just a bit, to appeal, as lincoln also implored us, to appeal to "the better angels of our nature." that"s the objective. and i know, i know you can do it.
ok. rounding third.
let me speak directly to the graduating class. (watch out. here comes the advice.)
remember: black lives matter. all lives matter.
reject fundamentalism wherever it raises its ugly head. it"s not civilized. choose to live in thebedford falls of "it"s a wonderful life," not its oppressive opposite, pottersville.
do not descend too deeply into specialism. educate all of your parts. you will be healthier.
replace cynicism with its old-fashioned antidote, skepticism.
don"t confuse monetary success with e_cellence. the poet robert penn warren once warnedme that "careerism is death."
try not to make the other wrong.
be curious, not cool.
remember, insecurity makes liars of us all.
listen to jazz. a lot, a lot. it is our music.
read. the book is still the greatest manmade machine of all – not the car, not the tv, not thecomputer or the smartphone.
do not allow our social media to segregate us into ever smaller tribes and clans, fiercely andsometimes appropriately loyal to our group, but also capable of metastasizing into profounddistrust of the other.
serve your country. by all means serve your country. but insist that we fight the right wars.governments always forget that.
convince your government that the real threat, as lincoln knew, comes from within.governments always forget that, too. do not let your government outsource honesty,transparency or candor. do not let your government outsource democracy.
vote. elect good leaders. when he was nominated in 1936, franklin delano roosevelt said, "better the occasional faults of a government that lives in a spirit of charity than theconsistent omissions of a government frozen in the ice of its own indifference." we alldeserve the former. and insist on it.
insist that we support science and the arts, especially the arts. they have nothing to do withthe actual defense of the country – they just make our country worth defending.
be about the "unum," not the "pluribus."
do not lose your enthusiasm. in its greek etymology, the word enthusiasm means simply, "god in us."
and even though lightning still isn"t distributed right, try not to be a fool. it just gets marktwain riled up a bit.
and if you ever find yourself in huck"s spot, if you"ve "got to decide betwi_t two things," do theright thing. don"t forget to tear up the letter. he didn"t go to hell – and you won"t either.
so we come to an end of something today – and for you also a very special beginning. godspeed to you all.

your e_cellencies,ladies and gentlemen,
it"s a great pleasure to be here tonight and it"s incredibly encouraging to see such anunprecedented gathering of heads of government, ministers and e_perts from around theworld. and i"d like to particularly thank jackie chan again for his unwavering support of thisissue and for coming all this way tonight. i feel enormously grateful that you have asked meto address you – this room is full of people whom i admire immensely and i feel humbled to behere.
my father, the prince of wales, who will also be attending the london conference tomorrow, hasalways been a passionate advocate of wildlife conservation – as has my grandfather, theduke of edinburgh, who has championed the cause for decades. we are, as a family, sohonoured to be part of this movement. we will stay the course with you until you succeed.
tonight we are here with a single, shared purpose–to use our collective influence to put a stopto the illegal killing and trafficking of some of our world"s most iconic and endangered species.
never before has a group like this come together – in these numbers – to stop the illegal tradein wildlife. all of us in this room have a duty to make sure that tomorrow, 13th february, is adate that marks the beginning of the end of this despicable trade.
the conference will bring together leaders from around the world who will pledge to reduceboth the supply and the demand driving this trade. let"s not for a second underestimate howimportant this step is.
the illegal wildlife trade is now the 4th most lucrative transnational crime after drugs, armsand human trafficking. it is estimated to be worth between 10 and 20 billion dollars each year.some might imagine it is a crime without human victim, but over 1,000 rangers have beenkilled in the past 10 years. every week, another two rangers are murdered by poachers. there isalso evidence that poachers" activities are funding international terrorism.
the scale of the trade continues to increase dramatically and is becoming ever moresophisticated. poachers now operate in highly organized, international criminal gangs.technology is also being e_ploited for the sale of these goods, with illegal products openly andeasily available online.
but we need to believe in our ability to turn the tide. we need to tackle wildlife crime with aconcerted global response as vigorous and forceful as the trade itself. we need to setaside differences, speak with one voice and act as one global community. i am delighted thatthis is happening.
as president of united for wildlife, i am proud that seven of the world"s largest field-basedorganisations, and my foundation, have taken the first steps to create a powerful globalalliance, addressing both demand and supply issues. united for wildlife recognises five specificareas which need to be addressed.
if i may, i will briefly list them:
first, we must strengthen protection for endangered species through the use ofsophisticated new technology, including gps trackers and drones.
secondly, by working with e_perts in marketing, youth leaders and policy makers, we can workto reduce the consumer demand for illegally traded products.
thirdly, legal systems are key to fighting wildlife crime. we need to support the judiciary andlocal authorities to combat trafficking, and to shine a spotlight on successful law enforcement.
fourthly, we need to encourage the private sector–including shipping companies and others –to declare a "zero tolerance" approach to the illegal wildlife trade.?
finally, and perhaps crucially, we need to support local communities to ensure their livelihoodsimprove as a direct result of these conservation efforts.
the united for wildlife organisations are committed to these five pledges, which have beendrawn up because they are achievable. i know that all of you in your own ways are alreadyhelping to implement these pledges, too.
let me say again what i said a few moments ago: tonight is an unprecedented gathering. thefact that we are all here gives me faith that we can turn the tide against the illegal wildlifetrade. let"s turn tonight"s goodwill into action, and, please, let"s be part of the movementthat can tell our children and grandchildren that we saved these e_traordinary species forthem.
thank you so much for being here tonight.

女士们,先生们,男孩和女孩,
我是一个中国人。我感到自豪的是一个中国的五千年文明的落后。我已经了解了四大发明提出我们的祖先。我了解长城和长江流域。我已经了解张衡,我学到了关于郑和说,黄河文明已经消失?我知道我的祖先已在此奇迹肥沃的土地和我们仍使奇迹。谁可以忽视的事实是,我们已经建立了自己作为一个伟大的国家在世界上,我们已制定我们自己的核武器,我们已经成功发送的卫星送入太空,我们的国民生产总值排名第7的世界?我们经历了掠夺其他国家,我们经历了战争。然而,根据这些遗迹,还有站在我们的国家——中国,不屈不挠的和不可战胜的!
我曾经遇到一位美国游客。她说:"中国的历史五千年,但美国只有200多年的历史。五千年前,中国率先在世界上,现在是美国,是领先的。 "我的心被深深感动了这些话。这是事实,我们仍然是一个发展中国家,但它并不意味着我们可以看不起自己。我们有这样一个长期的历史,我们有这样丰富的资源,我们有这样的智慧和勤奋的人民,我们有足够的值得骄傲的地方。我们有理由自豪地说:我们一定要带头世界未来再次,我们的问题并不是很大,但我们的目标就是更大,我们的挑战是巨大的,但是我们将是更大的。
我是一个中国人。我继承了黑头发,黑眼睛。我继承的美德,我的祖先。我也采取了责任。我相信,只要我去,不管我做,我将永远不会忘记,我是一个中国人
