演讲文本

But it was more than that: it was also a vital inflection point of my own ethical development, my own self-understanding as a member of the global community.
但不仅仅如此:这是我个人道德理念的一个重要转折,也自知作为地球上一员的自我使命。
Harvard dares us to dream big, to aspire, to change the world.
哈佛教导我们敢于拥有伟大梦想,勇往直前,去改变这个世界。
Here on this Commencement Day, we are probably thinking of grand destinations and big adventures that await us.
今天在这个毕业典礼上,大家可能正幻想着等待我们的伟大理想和征途。
As for me, I am also thinking of the farmers in my village.
于我,我仍在思考着我家乡的农民们的命运。
My experience here reminds me how important it is for researchers to communicate our knowledges, to those who need it.
我的经历提醒着我,学者将知识传授给需要的人是多么重要。
Because by using the science we already have, we could probably bring my village and thousands like it into the world you and I take for granted every day.
因为通过使用我们已经掌握的科学,我们可以把我家乡的村民和成千上万类似的人带入到你我熟知的世界。
And that’s an impact every one of us can make!
这是我们每一个人都可以发挥的影响!
But the question is, will we make the effort, or not?
但问题是,我们会这样去做吗?
More than ever before, our society emphasized science and innovation, but an equally important emphasis should be on distributing the knowledge we have to those who needed.
今天的社会比以往任何一个时代都强调科学和创新的重要性。但同样重要的是,把人类已掌握的知识传播到特别需要它们的地方。
Changing the world doesn’t mean everyone has to find the next big thing.
改变世界并不意味着每个人都要找到下一个巨大突破。
It can be It can be as simple as becoming better communicators and finding more creative ways to pass on the knowledge we have, to people like my mom and farmers in the local community.
改变世界可以很简单:成为一个更好的沟通者,用有效的方法把我们掌握的知识传递给像我母亲以及村里其他的村民。
Our society also needs to recognize that the equal distribution of knowledge is a pivotal step of human development and we will work to bring this into a reality.
我们这个社会也需要认识到知识的均衡传播是人类发展的关键环节,并应该努力让它成为现实。
And if we do that, then perhaps a teenager in rural China who is bitten by a poisonous spider will no longer have to burn his hand, but will know to seek a doctor instead.
如果我们能够做到这些,那么一个被毒蜘蛛咬伤的中国农村少年将不会忍受“火疗”,而会得到医生的专业治疗。
Thank you!
谢谢!
