第一篇：伯南克普林斯頓畢業演講：給他們點顏色看看

a human being.Your family and friends and your time at Princeton have given you a good start.What will you do with it? Will you keep learning and thinking hard and critically about the most important questions? Will you become an emotionally stronger person, more generous, more loving, more ethical? Will you involve yourself actively and constructively in the world? Many things will happen in your lives, pleasant and not so pleasant, but, paraphrasing a Woodrow Wilson School adage from the time I was here, “Wherever you go, there you are.” If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements won't bring you much satisfaction.3.The concept of success leads me to consider so-called meritocracies and their implications.We have been taught that meritocratic institutions and societies are fair.Putting aside the reality that no system, including our own, is really entirely meritocratic, meritocracies may be fairer and more efficient than some alternatives.But fair in an absolute sense? Think about it.A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment;luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement, and, probably, income;luckiest in their educational and career opportunities;and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate--these are the folks who reap the largest rewards.The only way for even a putative meritocracy to hope to pass ethical muster, to be considered fair, is if those who are the luckiest in all of those respects also have the greatest responsibility to work hard, to contribute to the betterment of the world, and to share their luck with others.As the Gospel of Luke says(and I am sure my rabbi will forgive me for quoting the New Testament in a good cause): “From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required;and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded”(Luke 12:48, New Revised Standard Version Bible).Kind of grading on the curve, you might say.4.Who is worthy of admiration? The admonition from Luke--which is shared by most ethical and philosophical traditions, by the way--helps with this question as well.Those most worthy of admiration are those who have made the best use of their advantages or, alternatively, coped most courageously with their adversities.I think most of us would agree that people who have, say, little formal schooling but labor honestly and diligently to help feed, clothe, and educate their families are deserving of greater respect--and help, if necessary--than many people who are superficially more successful.They're more fun to have a beer with, too.That's all that I know about sociology.5.Since I have covered what I know about sociology, I might as well say something about political science as well.In regard to politics, I have always liked Lily Tomlin's line, in paraphrase: “I try to be cynical, but I just can't keep up.” We all feel that way sometime.Actually, having been in Washington now for almost 11 years, as I mentioned, I feel that way quite a bit.Ultimately, though, cynicism is a poor substitute for critical thought and constructive action.Sure, interests and money and ideology all matter, as you learned in political science.But my experience is that most of our politicians and policymakers are trying to do the right thing, according to their own views and consciences, most of the time.If you think that the bad or indifferent results that too often come out of Washington are due to base motives and bad intentions, you are giving politicians and policymakers way too much credit for being effective.Honest error in the face of complex and possibly intractable problems is a far more important source of bad results than are bad motives.For these reasons, the greatest forces in Washington are ideas, and people prepared to act on those ideas.Public service isn't easy.But, in the end, if you are inclined in that direction, it is a worthy and challenging pursuit.6.Having taken a stab at sociology and political science, let me wrap up economics while I'm at it.Economics is a highly sophisticated field of thought that is superb at explaining to policymakers precisely why the choices they made in the past were wrong.About the future, not so much.However, careful economic analysis does have one important benefit, which is that it can help kill ideas that are completely logically inconsistent or wildly at variance with the data.This insight covers at least 90 percent of proposed economic policies.7.I'm not going to tell you that money doesn't matter, because you wouldn't believe me anyway.In fact, for too many people around the world, money is literally a life-or-death proposition.But if you are part of the lucky minority with the ability to choose, remember that money is a means, not an end.A career decision based only on money and not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness.8.Nobody likes to fail but failure is an essential part of life and of learning.If your uniform isn't dirty, you haven't been in the game.9.I spoke earlier about definitions of personal success in an unpredictable world.I hope that as you develop your own definition of success, you will be able to do so, if you wish, with a close companion on your journey.In making that choice, remember that physical beauty is evolution's way of assuring us that the other person doesn't have too many intestinal parasites.Don't get me wrong, I am all for beauty, romance, and sexual attraction--where would Hollywood and Madison Avenue be without them? But while important, those are not the only things to look for in a partner.The two of you will have a long trip together, I hope, and you will need each other's support and sympathy more times than you can count.Speaking as somebody who has been happily married for 35 years, I can't imagine any choice more consequential for a lifelong journey than the choice of a traveling companion.10.Call your mom and dad once in a while.A time will come when you will want your own grown-up, busy, hyper-successful children to call you.Also, remember who paid your tuition to Princeton.Those are my suggestions.They're probably worth exactly what you paid for them.But they come from someone who shares your affection for this great institution and who wishes you the best for the future.Congratulations, graduates.Give 'em hell.內容大意：

重返普林斯頓感覺不錯，很難相信，我離開校園赴華盛頓已經11年了。近期我向校方詢問了我的教職問題，回信稱：“很遺憾，普林斯頓收到很多更有才華的學者的求職信，而教職有限?！?/p>

我將在稍后獻上對畢業生的最美好祝愿，首先我要恭喜在座的家長們。作為父母，我知道這年頭供孩子讀完大學不容易，數年前，我的一個同事有3個孩子畢業于普林斯頓，盡管他們夫妻都不畢業于此，但我的同事常說，從財政角度講，這如同每年買輛卡迪拉克，然后讓車墜崖。他總會補充說，他會毫不猶豫的選擇重新來過。所以，感謝你們的工作，母親們，父親們，及家人們。

這確實是做畢業典禮演講的合適場合，我認為，在這一講臺上，每個精神導師都受到過“十誡”的教誨，我沒有那樣的信心，而且無論無何，覬覦鄰居的驢牛已不是目前的問題，所以今年前幾分鐘我將提出“十個建議”，或稱為對這個世界和你們畢業后的生活的十個觀察。請注意，這十點與利率毫無關系。我之所以有資格提出這些建議和或觀察，除了普林斯頓的善意邀請外，理由和你們討厭的哥哥姐姐可以晚睡是一個道理：我比你們更老。以下內容均經受過生活的考驗，但以往表現并不能確保未來的結果。

1、阿甘曾講到人生和巧克力的相似性，你不知道下一塊巧克力的味道。人生確實難以預料，任何一個認為知道其10年后情況的畢業生，更不同說三十年了，我只能說他或她缺乏想象力。看看我吧，12年前我一心教經濟學入門課程，想著編造什么理由不參加教學會議，結果我接到了那個電話。有過你有機會與畢業25年、30年或40年的校友交談，并使他們敞開心扉，他們將告訴你，他們對生活中哪些事滿意或不滿意，他們經歷過的高潮和低谷。但我敢打賭，他們的人生故事將與預期相異。這是好事而不是壞事，誰想在故事的開篇就知道結局呢？

2、是否人生偶然性之大的事實，意味著小的決定和行動無足輕重，不需要規劃和奮斗呢？當然不是。無論未來人生如何，她將是一個宏大和漫長的項目，是你作為個人 的發展過程。你的家人、朋友和你在普林斯頓的時光已經為你造就了良好的開端，未來你會如何？你會不斷學習、竭力思索、對至關重要的問題持批判態度嗎？你會 成為情感上更強大、更大度、更有愛心、更道德的人嗎？你會更積極的、更建設性的參與世事嗎？你的人生會有很多故事，快樂的，及不太快樂的，如果你不為自己 感到快樂，就連最偉大的成就業也不會讓你感到滿足。

3、成功的概念促使我考慮所謂的精英主義及其含義。精英是在健康和基因上最幸運的人，他們在家庭支持、鼓勵上，或在收入上也是最幸運的，他們在教育和職業機遇 上最幸運，他們在很多方面都最幸運，一般人難以復制。一個精英體制是否公平，要看這些精英是否有義務努力工作、致力于建設更好的世界，并與他人分享幸運。

4、誰值得尊重？是那些充分利用其優勢，或勇敢面對逆境的人。我想我們會認同，那些雖然接受的正式教育不多，但誠實勞動、勤勉的為家人提供衣食和教育的人，相比更多表面上很成功的人，更值得尊重，和他們喝兩杯是更有趣的事情。

5、提到政治，憤世嫉俗是批判性思考和建設性行動的更糟糕的替代品。當然，利益、金錢和意識形態都有影響力，如你在政治課上所學。但我的感受是大部分政界人士 都在尋求做正確的事情，大部分時候，這由他們的觀點和意識決定。在復雜及難于處理的問題上所犯的誠實錯誤，更是糟糕結果的主要原因，而非不良動機。因此，華盛頓最有影響的力量是觀念和想法，人們基于這些觀念去行動。公共服務并不輕松，如果你選擇了這一道路，那是值得的，并頗具挑戰性。

6、經濟學是頗具詭辯性的思維領域，她在解釋決策者以往所犯錯誤方面顯得很崇高，但在預測未來時，則不僅如此。然而，謹慎的經濟分析確有重要益處，她能去除那些不合邏輯或與數據不符的想法，這對90%的經濟政策建議有影響。

7、我不會告訴你們金錢無用，反正你們也不會聽的。事實上，對全球很多人來說，金錢能夠決定生存還是死亡。但如果你屬于那些幸運得有能力進行抉擇的少數人，請記住，金錢只是途徑，而非最終目標。職業選擇基于收入、而非熱愛，或做出貢獻的熱情，是日后苦惱的根源。

8、沒有人希望失敗，但失敗是生活和學習的一部分。如果你衣衫整齊，你并沒有進入比賽。

9、我希望你們能夠發展自身對成功的定義，在這一過程中，你們能夠選擇一位親密的伴侶。在做出選擇時，要記住外表美只是人類演變的一種方式，它使我們確信對方 沒有腸道寄生蟲。不要誤解我，我也為美麗、浪漫和性所吸引，不然美國影視業和廣告業怎么生存下去呢？但盡管重要，這些不是尋找人生伴侶時唯一需要考慮的事 情。你們將共同走過人生旅程，需要對方的支持和關愛。作為已婚35年的人士，我想象不到比選擇人生伴侶更重要的事情。

10、時不時的給父母去個電話。早晚有一天，你希望自己長大成人的、工作繁忙的、超級成功的孩子給你來個電話，再者，請記著誰供養你上的大學。

最后，畢業生們，給他們點顏色看看。

第二篇：美聯儲主席伯南克周六在普林斯頓大學做畢業典禮演講

北京時間6月3日晚間，美聯儲主席伯南克周六在普林斯頓大學做畢業典禮演講，他沒有提及貨幣政策、沒有暗示是否尋求連任，而是向畢業生提出“十大建議”。

以下為伯南克演講主要內容：

重返普林斯頓感覺不錯，很難相信，我離開校園赴華盛頓已經11年了。近期我向校方詢問了我的教職問題，回信稱：“很遺憾，普林斯頓收到很多更有才華的學者的求職信，而教職有限?！?/p>

第三篇：2017馬克扎克伯格 哈佛畢業演講

I'm honored to be with you today because, let's face it, you accomplished something I never could.If I get through this speech, it'll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard.Class of 2017, congratulations!

I'm an unlikely speaker, not just because I dropped out, but because we're technically in the same generation.We walked this yard less than a decade apart, studied the same ideas and slept through the same Ec10 lectures.We may have taken different paths to get here, especially if you came all the way from the Quad, but today I want to share what I've learned about our generation and the world we're building together.But first, the last couple of days have brought back a lot of good memories.How many of you remember exactly what you were doing when you got that email telling you that you got into Harvard? I was playing Civilization and I ran downstairs, got my dad, and for some reason, his reaction was to video me opening the email.That could have been a really sad video.I swear getting into Harvard is still the thing my parents are most proud of me for.What about your first lecture at Harvard? Mine was Computer Science 121 with the incredible Harry Lewis.I was late so I threw on a t-shirt and didn't realize until afterwards it was inside out and backwards with my tag sticking out the front.I couldn't figure out why no one would talk to me--except one guy, KX Jin, he just went with it.We ended up doing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook.And that, Class of 2017, is why you should be nice to people.But my best memory from Harvard was meeting Priscilla.I had just launched this prank website Facemash, and the ad board wanted to “see me”.Everyone thought I was going to get kicked out.My parents came to help me pack.My friends threw me a going away party.As luck would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friend.We met in line for the bathroom in the Phoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all time romantic lines, I said: “I'm going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly.”

Actually, any of you graduating can use that line.I didn't end up getting kicked out--I did that to myself.Priscilla and I started dating.And, you know, that movie made it seem like Facemash was so important to creating Facebook.It wasn't.But without Facemash I wouldn't have met Priscilla, and she's the most important person in my life, so you could say it was the most important thing I built in my time here.We've all started lifelong friendships here, and some of us even families.That's why I'm so grateful to this place.Thanks, Harvard.Today I want to talk about purpose.But I'm not here to give you the standard commencement about finding your purpose.We're millennials.We'll try to do that instinctively.Instead, I'm here to tell you finding your purpose isn't enough.The challenge for our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.One of my favorite stories is when John F Kennedy visited the NASA space center, he saw a janitor carrying a broom and he walked over and asked what he was doing.The janitor responded: “Mr.President, I'm helping put a man on the moon”.Purpose is that sense that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, that we are needed, that we have something better ahead to work for.Purpose is what creates true happiness.You're graduating at a time when this is especially important.When our parents graduated, purpose reliably came from your job, your church, your community.But today, technology and automation are eliminating many jobs.Membership in communities is declining.Many people feel disconnected and depressed, and are trying to fill a void.As I've traveled around, I've sat with children in juvenile detention and opioid addicts, who told me their lives could have turned out differently if they just had something to do, an after school program or somewhere to go.I've met factory workers who know their old jobs aren't coming back and are trying to find their place.To keep our society moving forward, we have a generational challenge--to not only create new jobs, but create a renewed sense of purpose.I remember the night I launched Facebook from my little dorm in Kirkland House.I went to Noch's with my friend KX.I remember telling him I was excited to connect the Harvard community, but one day someone would connect the whole world.The thing is, it never even occurred to me that someone might be us.We were just college kids.We didn't know anything about that.There were all these big technology companies with resources.I just assumed one of them would do it.But this idea was so clear to us--that all people want to connect.So we just kept moving forward, day by day.I know a lot of you will have your own stories just like this.A change in the world that seems so clear you're sure someone else will do it.But they won't.You will.But it's not enough to have purpose yourself.You have to create a sense of purpose for others.I found that out the hard way.You see, my hope was never to build a company, but to make an impact.And as all these people started joining us, I just assumed that's what they cared about too, so I never explained what I hoped we'd build.A couple years in, some big companies wanted to buy us.I didn't want to sell.I wanted to see if we could connect more people.We were building the first News Feed, and I thought if we could just launch this, it could change how we learn about the world.Nearly everyone else wanted to sell.Without a sense of higher purpose, this was the startup dream come true.It tore our company apart.After one tense argument, an advisor told me if I didn't agree to sell, I would regret the decision for the rest of my life.Relationships were so frayed that within a year or so every single person on the management team was gone.That was my hardest time leading Facebook.I believed in what we were doing, but I felt alone.And worse, it was my fault.I wondered if I was just wrong, an imposter, a 22 year-old kid who had no idea how the world worked.Now, years later, I understand that *is* how things work with no sense of higher purpose.It's up to us to create it so we can all keep moving forward together.Today I want to talk about three ways to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose: by taking on big meaningful projects together, by redefining equality so everyone has the freedom to pursue purpose, and by building community across the world.First, let's take on big meaningful projects.Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks.But we have the potential to do so much more together.Every generation has its defining works.More than 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon – including that janitor.Millions of volunteers immunized children around the world against polio.Millions of more people built the Hoover dam and other great projects.These projects didn't just provide purpose for the people doing those jobs, they gave our whole country a sense of pride that we could do great things.Now it's our turn to do great things.I know, you're probably thinking: I don't know how to build a dam, or get a million people involved in anything.But let me tell you a secret: no one does when they begin.Ideas don't come out fully formed.They only become clear as you work on them.You just have to get started.If I had to understand everything about connecting people before I began, I never would have started Facebook.Movies and pop culture get this all wrong.The idea of a single eureka moment is a dangerous lie.It makes us feel inadequate since we haven't had ours.It prevents people with seeds of good ideas from getting started.Oh, you know what else movies get wrong about innovation? No one writes math formulas on glass.That's not a thing.It's good to be idealistic.But be prepared to be misunderstood.Anyone working on a big vision will get called crazy, even if you end up right.Anyone working on a complex problem will get blamed for not fully understanding the challenge, even though it's impossible to know everything upfront.Anyone taking initiative will get criticized for moving too fast, because there's always someone who wants to slow you down.In our society, we often don't do big things because we're so afraid of making mistakes that we ignore all the things wrong today if we do nothing.The reality is, anything we do will have issues in the future.But that can't keep us from starting.So what are we waiting for? It's time for our generation-defining public works.How about stopping climate change before we destroy the planet and getting millions of people involved manufacturing and installing solar panels? How about curing all diseases and asking volunteers to track their health data and share their genomes? Today we spend 50x more treating people who are sick than we spend finding cures so people don’t get sick in the first place.That makes no sense.We can fix this.How about modernizing democracy so everyone can vote online, and personalizing education so everyone can learn?

These achievements are within our reach.Let's do them all in a way that gives everyone in our society a role.Let's do big things, not only to create progress, but to create purpose.

第四篇：美聯儲主席伯克南普林斯頓大學2013年畢業演講視頻

美聯儲主席伯克南普林斯頓大學2013年畢業演講

給他們點顏色瞧瞧（雙語）

本.伯南克是誰？他是美國經濟學家，現任美國聯邦儲備局主席。下面是伯南克在普林斯頓大學2013年畢業典禮上的演講。非常幽默，也給2013屆普林斯頓畢業生10條人生建議，而這建議幾乎都來自《阿甘正傳》。

美聯儲主席伯克南普林斯頓大學畢業典禮演講稿中英雙語對照：

It's nice to be back at Princeton.I find it difficult to believe that it's been almost 11 years since I departed these halls for Washington.I wrote recently to inquire about the status of my leave from the university, and the letter I got back began, “Regrettably, Princeton receives many more qualified applicants for faculty positions than we can accommodate.” 重返普林斯頓感覺不錯，很難相信，我離開校園赴華盛頓已經11年了。近期我向校方詢問了我的教職問題，回信稱：“很遺憾，普林斯頓收到很多更有才華的學者的求職信，而教職有限?！?/p>

I'll extend my best wishes to the seniors later, but first I want to congratulate the parents and families here.As a parent myself, I know that putting your kid through college these days is no walk in the park.Some years ago I had a colleague who sent three kids through Princeton even though neither he nor his wife attended this university.He and his spouse were very proud of that accomplishment, as they should have been.But my colleague also used to say that, from a financial perspective, the experience was like buying a new Cadillac every year and then driving it off a cliff.I should say that he always added that he would do it all over again in a minute.So, well done, moms, dads, and families.我將在稍后獻上對畢業生的最美好祝愿，首先我要恭喜在座的家長們。作為父母，我知道這年頭供孩子讀完大學不容易，數年前，我的一個同事有3個孩子畢業于普林斯頓，盡管他們夫妻都不畢業于此，但我的同事常說，從財政角度講，這如同每年買輛卡迪拉克，然后讓車墜崖。他總會補充說，他會毫不猶豫的選擇重新來過。所以，感謝你們的工作，母親們，父親們，及家人們。

This is indeed an impressive and appropriate setting for a commencement.I am sure that, from this lectern, any number of distinguished spiritual leaders have ruminated on the lessons of the Ten Commandments.I don't have that kind of confidence, and, anyway, coveting your neighbor's ox or donkey is not the problem it used to be, so I thought I would use my few minutes today to make Ten Suggestions, or maybe just Ten Observations, about the world and your lives after Princeton.Please note, these points have nothing whatsoever to do with interest rates.My qualification for making such suggestions, or observations, besides having kindly been invited to speak today by President Tilghman, is the same as the reason that your obnoxious brother or sister got to go to bed later--I am older than you.All of what follows has been road-tested in real-life situations, but past performance is no guarantee of future results.這確實是做畢業典禮演講的合適場合，我認為，在這一講臺上，每個精神導師都受到過“十誡”的教誨，我沒有那樣的信心，而且無論無何，覬覦鄰居的驢牛已不是目前的問題，所以今年前幾分鐘我將提出“十個建議”，或稱為對這個世界和你們畢業后的生活的十個觀察。請注意，這十點與利率毫無關系。我之所以有資格提出這些建議和或觀察，除了普林斯頓的善意邀請外，理由和你們討厭的哥哥姐姐可以晚睡是一個道理：我比你們更老。以下內容均經受過生活的考驗，但以往表現并不能確保未來的結果。

1.The poet Robert Burns once said something about the best-laid plans of mice and men ganging aft agley, whatever “agley” means.A more contemporary philosopher, Forrest Gump, said something similar about life and boxes of chocolates and not knowing what you are going to get.They were both right.Life is amazingly unpredictable;any 22-year-old who thinks he or she knows where they will be in 10 years, much less in 30, is simply lacking imagination.Look what happened to me: A dozen years ago I was minding my own business teaching Economics 101 in Alexander Hall and trying to think of good excuses for avoiding faculty meetings.Then I got a phone call...In case you are skeptical of Forrest Gump's insight, here's a concrete suggestion for each of the graduating seniors.Take a few minutes the first chance you get and talk to an alum participating in his or her 25th, or 30th, or 40th reunion--you know, somebody who was near the front of the P-rade.Ask them, back when they were graduating 25, 30, or 40 years ago, where they expected to be today.If you can get them to open up, they will tell you that today they are happy and satisfied in various measures, or not, and their personal stories will be filled with highs and lows and in-betweens.But, I am willing to bet, those life stories will in almost all cases be quite different, in large and small ways, from what they expected when they started out.This is a good thing, not a bad thing;who wants to know the end of a story that's only in its early chapters? Don't be afraid to let the drama play out.1、阿甘曾講到人生和巧克力的相似性，你不知道下一塊巧克力的味道。人生確實難以預料，任何一個認為知道其10年后情況的畢業生，更不同說三十年了，我只能說他或她缺乏想象力?？纯次野桑?2年前我一心教經濟學入門課程，想著編造什么理由不參加教學會議，結果我接到了那個電話。有過你有機會與畢業25年、30年或40年的校友交談，并使他們敞開心扉，他們將告訴你，他們對生活中哪些事滿意或不滿意，他們經歷過的高潮和低谷。但我敢打賭，他們的人生故事將與預期相異。這是好事而不是壞事，誰想在故事的開篇就知道結局呢？

2.Does the fact that our lives are so influenced by chance and seemingly small decisions and actions mean that there is no point to planning, to striving? Not at all.Whatever life may have in store for you, each of you has a grand, lifelong project, and that is the development of yourself as a human being.Your family and friends and your time at Princeton have given you a good start.What will you do with it? Will you keep learning and thinking hard and critically about the most important questions? Will you become an emotionally stronger person, more generous, more loving, more ethical? Will you involve yourself actively and constructively in the world? Many things will happen in your lives, pleasant and not so pleasant, but, paraphrasing a Woodrow Wilson School adage from the time I was here, “Wherever you go, there you are.” If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements won't bring you much satisfaction.2、是否人生偶然性之大的事實，意味著小的決定和行動無足輕重，不需要規劃和奮斗呢？當然不是。無論未來人生如何，她將是一個宏大和漫長的項目，是你作為個人 的發展過程。你的家人、朋友和你在普林斯頓的時光已經為你造就了良好的開端，未來你會如何？你會不斷學習、竭力思索、對至關重要的問題持批判態度嗎？你會 成為情感上更強大、更大度、更有愛心、更道德的人嗎？你會更積極的、更建設性的參與世事嗎？你的人生會有很多故事，快樂的，及不太快樂的，如果你不為自己 感到快樂，就連最偉大的成就業也不會讓你感到滿足。

3.The concept of success leads me to consider so-called meritocracies and their implications.We have been taught that meritocratic institutions and societies are fair.Putting aside the reality that no system, including our own, is really entirely meritocratic, meritocracies may be fairer and more efficient than some alternatives.But fair in an absolute sense? Think about it.A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment;luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement, and, probably, income;luckiest in their educational and career opportunities;and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate--these are the folks who reap the largest rewards.The only way for even a putative meritocracy to hope to pass ethical muster, to be considered fair, is if those who are the luckiest in all of those respects also have the greatest responsibility to work hard, to contribute to the betterment of the world, and to share their luck with others.As the Gospel of Luke says(and I am sure my rabbi will forgive me for quoting the New Testament in a good cause): “From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required;and from the one to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded”(Luke 12:48, New Revised Standard Version Bible).Kind of grading on the curve, you might say.3、成功的概念促使我考慮所謂的精英主義及其含義。精英是在健康和基因上最幸運的人，他們在家庭支持、鼓勵上，或在收入上也是最幸運的，他們在教育和職業機遇 上最幸運，他們在很多方面都最幸運，一般人難以復制。一個精英體制是否公平，要看這些精英是否有義務努力工作、致力于建設更好的世界，并與他人分享幸運。

4.Who is worthy of admiration? The admonition from Luke--which is shared by most ethical and philosophical traditions, by the way--helps with this question as well.Those most worthy of admiration are those who have made the best use of their advantages or, alternatively, coped most courageously with their adversities.I think most of us would agree that people who have, say, little formal schooling but labor honestly and diligently to help feed, clothe, and educate their families are deserving of greater respect--and help, if necessary--than many people who are superficially more successful.They're more fun to have a beer with, too.That's all that I know about sociology.4、誰值得尊重？是那些充分利用其優勢，或勇敢面對逆境的人。我想我們會認同，那些雖然接受的正式教育不多，但誠實勞動、勤勉的為家人提供衣食和教育的人，相比更多表面上很成功的人，更值得尊重，和他們喝兩杯是更有趣的事情。

5.Since I have covered what I know about sociology, I might as well say something about political science as well.In regard to politics, I have always liked Lily Tomlin's line, in paraphrase: “I try to be cynical, but I just can't keep up.” We all feel that way sometime.Actually, having been in Washington now for almost 11 years, as I mentioned, I feel that way quite a bit.Ultimately, though, cynicism is a poor substitute for critical thought and constructive action.Sure, interests and money and ideology all matter, as you learned in political science.But my experience is that most of our politicians and policymakers are trying to do the right thing, according to their own views and consciences, most of the time.If you think that the bad or indifferent results that too often come out of Washington are due to base motives and bad intentions, you are giving politicians and policymakers way too much credit for being effective.Honest error in the face of complex and possibly intractable problems is a far more important source of bad results than are bad motives.For these reasons, the greatest forces in Washington are ideas, and people prepared to act on those ideas.Public service isn't easy.But, in the end, if you are inclined in that direction, it is a worthy and challenging pursuit.5、提到政治，憤世嫉俗是批判性思考和建設性行動的更糟糕的替代品。當然，利益、金錢和意識形態都有影響力，如你在政治課上所學。但我的感受是大部分政界人士 都在尋求做正確的事情，大部分時候，這由他們的觀點和意識決定。在復雜及難于處理的問題上所犯的誠實錯誤，更是糟糕結果的主要原因，而非不良動機。因此，華盛頓最有影響的力量是觀念和想法，人們基于這些觀念去行動。公共服務并不輕松，如果你選擇了這一道路，那是值得的，并頗具挑戰性。

6.Having taken a stab at sociology and political science, let me wrap up economics while I'm at it.Economics is a highly sophisticated field of thought that is superb at explaining to policymakers precisely why the choices they made in the past were wrong.About the future, not so much.However, careful economic analysis does have one important benefit, which is that it can help kill ideas that are completely logically inconsistent or wildly at variance with the data.This insight covers at least 90 percent of proposed economic policies.6、經濟學是頗具詭辯性的思維領域，她在解釋決策者以往所犯錯誤方面顯得很崇高，但在預測未來時，則不僅如此。然而，謹慎的經濟分析確有重要益處，她能去除那些不合邏輯或與數據不符的想法，這對90%的經濟政策建議有影響。

7.I'm not going to tell you that money doesn't matter, because you wouldn't believe me anyway.In fact, for too many people around the world, money is literally a life-or-death proposition.But if you are part of the lucky minority with the ability to choose, remember that money is a means, not an end.A career decision based only on money and not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness.7、我不會告訴你們金錢無用，反正你們也不會聽的。事實上，對全球很多人來說，金錢能夠決定生存還是死亡。但如果你屬于那些幸運得有能力進行抉擇的少數人，請記住，金錢只是途徑，而非最終目標。職業選擇基于收入、而非熱愛，或做出貢獻的熱情，是日后苦惱的根源。

8.Nobody likes to fail but failure is an essential part of life and of learning.If your uniform isn't dirty, you haven't been in the game.8、沒有人希望失敗，但失敗是生活和學習的一部分。如果你衣衫整齊，你并沒有進入比賽。

9.I spoke earlier about definitions of personal success in an unpredictable world.I hope that as you develop your own definition of success, you will be able to do so, if you wish, with a close companion on your journey.In making that choice, remember that physical beauty is evolution's way of assuring us that the other person doesn't have too many intestinal parasites.Don't get me wrong, I am all for beauty, romance, and sexual attraction--where would Hollywood and Madison Avenue be without them? But while important, those are not the only things to look for in a partner.The two of you will have a long trip together, I hope, and you will need each other's support and sympathy more times than you can count.Speaking as somebody who has been happily married for 35 years, I can't imagine any choice more consequential for a lifelong journey than the choice of a traveling companion.9、我希望你們能夠發展自身對成功的定義，在這一過程中，你們能夠選擇一位親密的伴侶。在做出選擇時，要記住外表美只是人類演變的一種方式，它使我們確信對方 沒有腸道寄生蟲。不要誤解我，我也為美麗、浪漫和性所吸引，不然美國影視業和廣告業怎么生存下去呢？但盡管重要，這些不是尋找人生伴侶時唯一需要考慮的事 情。你們將共同走過人生旅程，需要對方的支持和關愛。作為已婚35年的人士，我想象不到比選擇人生伴侶更重要的事情。

10.Call your mom and dad once in a while.A time will come when you will want your own grown-up, busy, hyper-successful children to call you.Also, remember who paid your tuition to Princeton.10、時不時的給父母去個電話。早晚有一天，你希望自己長大成人的、工作繁忙的、超級成功的孩子給你來個電話，再者，請記著誰供養你上的大學。

Those are my suggestions.They're probably worth exactly what you paid for them.But they come from someone who shares your affection for this great institution and who wishes you the best for the future.Congratulations, graduates.Give 'em hell.最后，畢業生們，給他們點顏色看看。

扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ

扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講（全）

Part 1 I love this place.Thank you all for coming out in the rain.We gonna（會）make it worth for you.我愛這個地方。感謝大家冒著傾盆大雨過來。我們會讓你覺得不虛此行。President Faust,Board of Overseers,faculty , alumni, friends, proud parents, members of the ad board, and graduates of the greatest university in the world, Faust校長，校監委員會成員們，老師、校友、朋友、自豪的家長們、管理委員會的委員們，以及全世界最偉大學校的畢業生們！

I'm honored to be with you today because, let's face it, you accomplished something I never could.If I get through this speech,it'll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard.Class of 2017, congratulations!今天和你們待在一起我備感榮幸，因為說實話，你們完成了一個我永遠無法辦到的成就。等我做完這個演講，這將是我第一次在哈佛大學完成的某件事。2017的畢業班同學，祝賀你們！

I'm an unlikely speaker today, not just because I dropped out, but because we're technically in the same generation.We walked this yard less than a decade apart, studied the same ideas and slept through the same Ec10 lectures.We may have taken different roads to get here, especially if you came all the way from the Quad, but today i want to share what I've learned about our generation and the world we're all building together.我本不可能是站在這里發表演講的人，不僅僅因為我是一名輟學生，還因為其實我們是同一代人。我作為學生走在這個校園里，也就是不過十年前的事情。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ 我們學習過同樣的知識，同樣在EC10課堂上補覺。盡管我們通過不同的方式來到這里，尤其那些來自Quad園區的同學（The Quad以前是Radcliffe College的女生宿舍。Radcliffe從1879至1977年是哈佛的女性學院，1977年匯入哈佛）；但今天我想和你們分享的是，我關于我們這代人的一些想法，關于我們正在合力建設的這個世界。

But first, these last couple of days have brought back a lot of good memories.首先，過去幾天令我想起很多美好的回憶。

How many of you remember exactly where you were, what you were doing when you got that email telling you that you got into Harvard? I was playing Civilization and i ran downstairs, got my dad, and for some reason, his first reaction was to video me opening the email.That could have been a really really sad video.But i swear getting into Harvard is the thing my parents are most proud of me for.你們當中多少人還確切記得，當初收到哈佛的錄取通知郵件時在哪里在做什么？當時我正在玩《文明》游戲，然后我跑下樓，找到我的父親，不過他的反應很奇怪，居然開始拍攝我打開郵件的過程。那個視頻可能看著挺難過吧。但我發誓，被哈佛錄取至今仍是最令我父母為我感到驕傲的事情。

My mom is nodding.You all know what I'm talking about.Look guys, it's tough to be this, you'll soon get out of there.我的媽媽在點頭。你們都懂我在說什么。朋友們，這有點難，但你會很快離開這里的。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ How many of you remember your first lecture at Harvard? Mine was Computer Science 121 with the incredible Harry Lewis.I was late so i threw on a t-shirt and didn't realize until afterwards i put it inside out and backwards with my tag sticking out the front.I couldn't figure out why no one would talk to me--except one guy, KX Jin, he just went with it.We start doing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook.And that, Class of 2017, is why you should be nice to people.你們還記得在哈佛上的第一節課嗎？我上的是計算機121，Harry Lewis老師超級棒。當時我要遲到了，于是抓了件T恤就套在身上，結果直到下午才發現我把它前后里外都穿反了，商標都露在前胸。然后我還納悶怎么沒人理我，除了一個人，KX Jin，他沒有在意這些。之后，我們開始組隊解決難題，現在他負責Facebook很大一塊業務。這說明什么？2017的畢業生們，這說明為什么你們應該對別人友善一些。

But my best memory from Harvard was meeting Priscilla.I had just launched this prank website Facemash, and the ad board wanted to “see me”.Everyone I was gonna get kicked out.My parents drove here to help me pack my stuff.My friends threw me a going away party.Who does that? As luck would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friend.We met in line for the bathroom in the Pfoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all time romantic lines, I turned to her and said: “I'm going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly.” 扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ

但是我在哈佛最美好的回憶，是我遇見了Priscilla（扎克伯格妻子）。當時我剛上線一個惡作劇網站Facemash，然后管理委員會表示“要見我”，所有人都認為我要被趕走了。我爸媽來幫我打包行李；我朋友幫我搞了個告別派對。誰會這么做??！幸運的事情就在這里，Priscilla和她朋友一起，來到了這個Party。我們在Pfoho Belltower的衛生間外排隊時遇見了，接下來發生了一件永生難忘的浪漫事件——我轉向她說：“我三天后就要被趕出學校了，所以我們需要盡快開始約會。”

Actually, any of you graduating today can use that line.I'm getting kicked out today we need to go date fast.事實上，你們所有人都可以使用這個套路。我今天就要被趕出學校了，我們最好盡快約會。

Part 2 I didn't end up getting kicked out--I did that to myself.Priscilla and I started dating.And, you know, that movie made it seem like Facemash was so important to starting Facebook.It wasn't.But without Facemash I would never have met Priscilla, and she's the most important person in my life, so you could still say it was the most important thing I built in my time.我沒有被開除——我想辦法留下來了。Priscilla開始和我約會。你們知道，那部電影（《社交網絡》）說的Facemash對創造Facebook好像很重要似的。并非如此。但是沒有Facemash的話，我遇不到Priscilla。她是我生命中最重要的人，所以從這個角度說，Facemash是我人生中做出的最重要的一樣東西。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ We've all started lifelong friendships here, and some of us even families.That's why I'm so grateful to this place.Thanks,Harvard.在這里，我們開始結交一生的摯友，甚至有的以后會成為家人。這是為什么我對這里如此感激的原因。謝謝你，哈佛！

Today I want to talk about purpose.But I'm not here to give you the standard commencement about finding your purpose.We're millennials.We'll try to do that instinctively.Instead, I'm here to tell you finding your purpose isn't enough.The challenge for our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.今天我想談談目標，但是我不是來給你們做一些程序化的宣言，告訴你們如何發現目標的。我們是千禧一代，我們會出于直覺和本能發現目標。相反地，我站在這里要說的，是僅僅發現目標還不夠。我們這代人面臨的挑戰，是創造一個人人都能有使命感的世界。

One of my favorite stories is when John F Kennedy visited the NASA space center, he saw a janitor holding a broom and he walked over and asked what he was doing.The janitor replied: “Mr.President,I'm helping put a man on the moon”.我最喜歡的一個故事，是約翰·F·肯尼迪訪問美國宇航局太空中心時，看到了一個拿著掃帚的看門人。于是他走過去問這人在干什么?？撮T人回答說：“總統先生，我正在幫助把一個人送往月球。” Purpose is that sense that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, that we are needed, that we have something better ahead to work for.Purpose is 扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ what creates true we have something better ahead to work for.Purpose is what creates true happiness.目標是我們意識到我們是比自己更大的東西的一部分，是我們被需要的、我們需要更為之努力的東西。目標能創造真正的快樂。

You're graduating at a time when this is especially important.When our parents graduated, purpose reliably came from your job, your church, your community.But today, technology and automation are eliminating many jobs.Membership in communities is declining.Many people feel disconnected and depressed, and are trying to fill a void in their lives.今天，你在這個特別重要的時刻畢業了。當你父母畢業的時候，目標很大程度上來自工作、教會、社群。但是今天，技術和自動化正在代替很多工作，社區成員人數也在下降。許多人感到沮喪，感到自己被隔離開來了，同時也在努力填補生活當中的空缺。

As I've traveled around, I've sat with children in juvenile detention and opioid addicts, who told me their lives could have turned out differently if they just had something to do, an after school program or somewhere to go.I've met factory workers who know their old jobs aren't coming back and are just trying to find their path ahead.當我走過很多地方的時候，我曾和許多被拘留的、阿片類藥物成癮的孩子們坐在一起，他們告訴我如果他們有事可做，參加課后活動或者有地方可去，他們的人生會變得很不一樣。我也遇到過很多工廠的工人，他們沒法再從事之前從事的工作了，所以試圖尋找前路。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ For our society to keep moving forward, we have a generational challenge: to not only create new jobs, but create a renewed sense of purpose.為了保持社會的進步，我們身負挑戰——不僅僅是創造新的工作，還要創造新的目標。

I remember the night I launched Facebook from that little dorm in Kirkland House.I went to Noch's with my friend KX.I remember telling him clearly that was excited to connect the Harvard community, but one day someone would connect the whole world.我還記得在Kirkland House的小宿舍中創造Facebook的那晚。我和我的朋友KX去了Noch。我記得我告訴他，我很開心能把哈佛的社群連接起來，但是有一天，有人會把整個世界都連接起來。

The thing is, it never even occurred to me that someone might be us.We were just college kids.We didn't know anything about that.There were all these big technology companies with all this resources.I just assumed one of them would do it.But this idea was so clear to us--that all people want to connect.So we just kept working on it, day after day, after day, after day.我完全沒有想到這個人會是我們。當時我們還只是大學生，對此還并不了解。所有這些大型技術公司都有資源，我只是認為其中一個大公司會做到這一點。但是，我對這個想法很確信——所有人都想和彼此連接，所以我們一直在朝這個方向努力前進。一天一天。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ

I know a lot of you will have your own stories just like this.A change in the world that seems so clear you're sure someone else is going to do it.But they won't.You will.我知道你們中的很多人也會有類似的故事。你覺得世界上將會發生變革，你確定會有人去做這件事情，但是他們不會，你自己才會。

But it's not enough to have purpose yourself.You have to create a sense of purpose for others.但是，光有目標是不夠的。你必須也要為別人創造使命感。

And i found that out the hard way。You see, my hope was never to build a company, but to make an impact.And as all these people started joining us, I just assumed that's what they cared about too, so I never took the time to explained what it was that I hoped we build.意識到這點非常難。我從來沒想過創造一個公司，我想要的是創造影響力。越來越多的人加入我們，我假設他們跟我關心的是同樣的東西，所以我從來沒花時間解釋過我到底希望建立什么。

A couple years in, some big companies wanted to buy us.I didn't want to sell.I wanted to see if we could connect more people.We were building the first version of News Feed, and I thought if we could just launch this, it could change how we learn about the world.幾年來，一些大公司想要收購我們。我拒絕了。我想知道是否能連接更多的人。我們正在建立第一個新聞流（News Feed），當時我想，如果我們能做到這一點，它可能會改變我們學習世界的方式。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ Nearly everyone else wanted to sell.Without a sense of higher purpose, this was the startup dream come true.It tore our company apart.After one particularly tense argument, one of my close advisor told me if I didn't agree to sell the company right now, I would regret that decision for the rest of my life.Relationships were so frayed that within a year or so every single person on the management team was gone.幾乎所有人都想讓我把公司賣了。沒有更高遠的使命感，這個創業公司不可能夢想成真。經過激烈的爭論后，一位顧問跟我說，如果我不同意出售，我會后悔一輩子。一年左右的時間里，當時的管理層幾乎都走了。

That was my hardest time leading Facebook.I believed in what we were doing, but I felt alone.And worse, it was my fault.I wondered if I was just wrong, an imposter, a 22 year-old kid who had no idea how things actually worked.這是我在Facebook時最艱難的時刻。我相信我們在做的東西，但是我也感到孤獨。更糟糕的是，當時我覺得這是我的錯。我在想是不是我錯了，一個22歲的小孩，都不知道世界是怎么運轉的。

Now, years later, I understand that “is” how things work with no sense of higher purpose.It's up to all us to create it so we can all keep moving forward together.多年以后的今天，我明白了那是因為沒有更高的目標。是否創造它取決于我們，所以我們能一起前進

Part 3 扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ Today I want to talk about three ways to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose: by taking on big meaningful projects together, by redefining equality so everyone has the freedom to pursue purpose, and by building community across the world.今天我想談談創造一個每個人都有使命感的世界的三種方法：一起做有意義的項目；通過重新定義平等，使每個人都有追求目標的自由；在全世界建立社群。

So first, let's take on big meaningful projects.首先，讓我們來說說做有意義的項目。

Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks.But we have the potential to do so much more than that.我們這一代將不得不面對數千萬的工作被機器取代的情況，比如自動駕駛。但我們還有很多事能一起去完成。

Every generation has its defining works.More than 300,000 people worked to put a man on the moon –including that janitor.Millions of volunteers immunized children around the world against polio.Millions of more people built the Hoover dam and other great projects.每一代都有屬于自己一代的作品。比如有超過30萬人一起努力，讓人類登上了月球——包括那個看門的人；數百萬志愿者為世界各地的小兒麻痹癥患者打疫苗；數以百萬計的人為建立胡佛水壩和其他偉大的項目貢獻了自己的力量。

Now it's our turn to do great things.I know, you're probably thinking: I don't know how to build a dam, or get a million people involved in anything.扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ 現在輪到我們來做一些偉大的事了。我知道，你可能會想：我不知道如何建造大壩，或者如何讓一百萬人參與到任何事情中來。

Well, let me tell you a secret: no one does when they begin.Ideas don't come out fully formed.They only become clear as you work on them.You just have to get started.但我想告訴你一個秘密：沒有人從一開始就知道如何做，想法并不會在最初就完全成型。只有當你工作時才變得逐漸清晰，你只需要做的就是開始。

If I had to know everything about connecting people before I got started, I never would have started Facebook.如果我必須在開始（Facebook）之前就了解清楚“如何連接人”的想法，那么我就不會啟動Facebook了。

Movies and pop culture get this all wrong.The idea of a single eureka moment is a dangerous lie.It makes us feel inadequate since we haven't had ours.It prevents people with seeds of good ideas from getting started.Oh, you know what else movies get wrong about innovation? No one writes math formulas on glass, ok? That's not a thing.電影和流行文化會誤導別人，那些想法會出現在一些靈光一閃的時刻，這其實是一個危險的謊言。這讓我們感到不滿足，因為我們沒有了我們自己的（行動），它會阻止那些擁有好想法的人去開始。對了，你知道電影當中還有什么是對創新的誤解嗎？那就是，沒有人會在玻璃上寫數學公式好嘛。那根本不是什么真的。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ It's good to be idealistic.But be prepared to be misunderstood.Anyone working on a big vision will get called crazy, even if you end up right.Anyone taking on a complex problem will get blamed for not fully understanding the challenge, even though it's impossible to know everything up front.Anyone taking initiative will get criticized for moving too fast, because there's always someone who wants to slow you down.理想主義是好事，但你要做好被誤解的準備。任何為了更大愿景工作的人可能會被稱為瘋子，即使你最終獲得成功。任何為了復雜問題工作的人都會因為不能全面了解挑戰而被指責，即使你不可能事先了解一切。任何抓住主動權先行一步的人都會因為步子太快而受到批評，因為總是有人想讓你慢下來。

In our society, we often don't often take on big things because we're so afraid of making mistakes that we ignore all the things wrong today if we do nothing.The reality is, anything we do today is gonna have issues in the future.But that can't keep us from starting.在我們的社會里，我們并不經常做一些偉大的事，因為我們害怕犯錯。如果我們什么都不做，我們就忽視了今天所有的錯誤。事實上，我們所做的任何事情將來都會有問題。但這不能阻止我們開始。

So what are we waiting for? It's time for our generation-defining public works.How about stopping climate change before we destroy the planet and getting millions of people involved manufacturing and installing solar panels? How about curing all diseases and asking volunteers to track their health data and share their genomes? Today our goverment spend 50 times as much 扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ treating people who are sick than we spend finding cures so people dont get sick in the first place.That makes no sense.We can fix this.How about modernizing democracy so everyone can vote online, and personalizing education so everyone can learn?

那我們還在等什么呢？ 現在輪到我們這一代人定義“公共事務”的時候了。在地球摧毀之前，如何阻止氣候變化？如何讓數百萬人愿意參與制造和安裝太陽能電池板？ 如何治愈所有疾病？如何要求志愿者跟蹤他們的健康數據和分享他們的基因組？ 今天，我們可能要花上50倍的價格去治療病人，而不是找到一種治療方法讓人類第一時間無法染上疾病。這并不合理，我們可以解決這個問題。民主現代化如何讓每個人都能在網上投票，以及通過個性化教育讓每個人都能學習？

These achievements are within our reach.Let's do them all in a way that gives everyone in our society a role.Let's do big things, not only to create progress, but to create purpose.這些成就在我們能力范圍內是可以實現的，讓我們讓每個人在我們社會中發揮其應有的作用來做這些事情。讓我們做一些偉大的事情，不僅要創造進步，而是要創造purpose。

Part 4 So taking on big meaningful projects together is the first thing we can do to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.所以我們可以做的第一件事就是，創造一個每人都擁有使命感的世界。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ The second is redefining our idea of equality so everyone has the freedom to pursue their purpose.第二件事是，重新定義平等，讓每個人都有追求目的的自由。

Many of our parents had stable jobs throughout their careers.But in our generation, we're all a little entrepreneurial, whether we're starting our projects or finding or role or another one.And that's great.Our culture of entrepreneurship is how we create so much progress.我們這一代人的父母，很多在整個職業生涯中都有穩定的工作。但是現在，我們這一代人都是企業家，無論我們是剛開始一些項目還是在尋找、或是已經扮演著這個角色。這都很棒，我們的創業文化恰好是導致我們創造如此多進步的原因。

Now, an entrepreneurial culture thrives when it's easy to try lots of new ideas.Facebook wasn't the first thing I built.I also built chat systems, games, study tools and music players.I'm not alone.JK Rowling got rejected 12 times before publishing Harry Potter.Even Beyonce had to make hundreds of songs to get Halo.The greatest successes come from having the freedom to fail.現在，只要在嘗試很多新想法的時候，創業文化就會蓬勃發展。Facebook并不是我做的第一件事，我還做過游戲、聊天系統、學習工具和音樂播放器。我并不孤獨，因為JK羅琳在出版《哈利波特》之前被拒絕了12次，即使碧昂絲也不得不寫了數百首歌曲，才有了今天Halo這首歌獲得的光環。最大的成功來自于我們享有失敗的自由。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ Now today, we have a level of wealth inequality that hurts everyone.When you don't have the freedom to take your idea and turn it into a historic enterprise, we all lose.And right now today our society is way over-indexed on rewarding people when they are successful and we don't do nearly enough to make sure that everyone can take lots of different shots.然而，今天，財富不均會讓每個人都受到傷害。當你沒有自由把你的想法變成一個歷史性的企業的時候，我們就輸了?，F在，我們的社會在通往成功的路上有過多的指引，但我們做的不夠，并不是每個人都能夠輕易得分（獲得成功）。

Let's face it.There is something wrong with our system when I can leave here and make billions of dollars in 10 years while millions of students can't afford to pay off their loans, let alone start a business.面對現實吧，我們的社會體系是有問題的，當我能夠離開哈佛并在10年內賺取數十億美元的時候，還有數百萬學生無法償還貸款，更不用說開始創業。

Look, I know a lot of entrepreneurs, and I don't know a single person who gave up on starting a business because they might not make enough money.But I know lots of people who haven't pursued dreams because they didn't have a cushion to fall back on if they failed.我認識很多企業家，然而我并不知道是否有一個人是因為沒有足夠的錢而放棄創業。但是我知道很多人不敢追求夢想，因為一旦他們失敗，并沒有很好的緩沖（承托?。?。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ We all know you don't get successful just by having a good idea or working hard.You get successful by being lucky too.If I had to support my family growing up instead of having time to how to code, if I didn't know I'd be fine if Facebook didn't work out, I wouldn't be standing here today.And if we're honest, we all know how much luck we've had to get this point in our lives.我們都知道，想要成功，光憑一個好想法，或者一個好的工作態度，是遠遠不夠的。幸運也是成功很重要的因素。如果當初，我無法花時間編寫代碼，而是必須勤工儉學補貼家用，如果我無法承受“萬一Facebook不能成功”這一假設，我今天都不會站在這里。誠實地想一想，我們都知道，（能夠有今天）自己是多么的幸運。

Every generation expands its definition of equality.Previous generations fought for the vote and civil rights.They had the New Deal and Great Society.Now it's our generation to define a new social contract.每一代人的成長都擴大了平等的定義。前幾代人爭取投票權和民權，于是他們爭取到了有新政和大社會?，F在到了我們為這一代人定義新的社會契約的時候了。

We should have a society that measures progress not just by economic metrics like GDP, but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful.We should explore ideas like universal basic income to makes sure everyone have a cushion to try new things.We're going to change jobs many times, so we need affordable childcare to get to work and healthcare that aren't tied to one employer.We're all going to make mistakes, so we need a society that focuses 扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ less on locking us up or stigmatizing us when we do.And as our technology keeps on involving, we need a society that it's more focuses on providing continuous education throughout our lives.我們應該有一個不僅僅憑借GDP這樣的經濟指標來衡量進步的社會，而是一個每個人都可以找到自己的存在意義和角色的社會。我們應該探索像“普遍基本收入”這樣的觀念，讓每一個人探索像“普遍基本收入”這樣的觀念，讓每一個人都有機會嘗試新事物。每個人都有可能換很多工作，這就要求我們得建立人人都負擔得起的兒童托管保育機構和不約束于就職單位的醫療保健，這樣讓人可以無負擔地去上班。人人都會犯錯，所以我們需要一個更少污蔑與束縛的社會。隨著技術的不斷變化，我們要更多地關注繼續教育，活到老，學到老。

And yes, giving everyone the freedom to pursue purpose isn't gonna be free.People like me should pay for it.And a lot of you are gonna do really well and you should too.是的，賦予每個人追求目標的自由，這并不是免費的。像我這樣的人應當為此付費。在你們之中，許多人過得都很好，你們也有義務去做。

That's why Priscilla and I started the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and committed our wealth to promoting equal opportunity.These are the values of our whole generation.It was never a question of if we were going to do this.The only question was when.這也是為什么當初 Priscilla 和我啟動了Chan Zuckerberg Initiative，并承諾要我們的財富去促進機會平等。這些是我們這代人的價值。“要不要這樣做”從來都不是問題，唯一的問題是“什么時候去做”。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ Millennials are already one of the most charitable generations in history.In one year, more than three or four US millennials made a donation and seven out of ten raised money for charity.千禧一代已經是歷史上最慈善的一代人之一了。千禧一代的美國人在一年中，平均四個人里就有三個人會捐款，平均十個人里就有七個了。千禧一代的美國人在一年中，平均四個人里就有三個人會捐款，平均十個人里就有七個人會為慈善募捐。

But it's not just about money.You can also give time.I promise you, if you take an hour or two a week--that's all it takes to give someone a hand, to help them reach their potential.但這也不僅限于金錢。你也可以奉獻你的時間。我在這里向你保證，如果你可以每一兩周要花一個小時（去奉獻和幫助），就會有一個人因此獲得幫助，甚至實現他們以前不可能實現的目標。

Maybe you think that's ta lot of time.I used to.You know when Priscilla graduated from Harvard she became a teacher, and before she'd do education work with me, she told me that I needed to get my own experience of teaching a class.At first I complained: “You know, I'm kind of busy.I'm running this company.” But she insisted, so I taught an after school program at the local Boys and Girls Club on entrepreneurship.或許你覺得這太花時間了。我曾經也這么認為。當Priscilla畢業于哈佛后，她成了一名老師，在她和我一起投身教育行業之前，她告訴我，我需要去教授一門課。我抱怨道：“好吧，可是我很忙啊，我得經營Facebook啊?！钡撬龍猿衷瞬?017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ 讓我去教課，所以我就在當地的男童女童俱樂部教授了一門關于創業精神的中學課程。

I taught those kids lessons on product development and marketing, and they taught me what it's like growing up feeling targeted for your race and what it's like having a family member in prison.I shared stories from my time in school, and they shared their hope of one day they would get to go to college too.For five years now, I've been having dinner with those students every month.One of them threw me and Priscilla our first baby shower.And next year they're going to college.Every one of them.First generation in their families.我教他們在產品開發和市場營銷中應當吸取的教訓，從他們身上，我學到了當自己的種族受到社會關注、或有家庭成員身陷囹圄時的感受。我向他們分享了我讀書時的故事，他們分享了對走進大學深造的渴望。五年來，我每個月都會和這些孩子一起共進一次晚餐。其中有一個孩子，為我與Priscilla的第一個寶寶在出生前，舉辦了寶寶洗禮派對。明年，這些孩子們都要上大學了，是的，他們每一個都要上大學了，是的，他們每一個都要上大學了，而且他們都將驕傲地成為自己家族里第一名大學生。

We can all make time to give someone a hand.Let's give everyone the freedom to pursue purpose--not only because it's the right thing to do, but because when more people can turn their dreams into something great, we're all better for it.扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ 花一點時間，去幫助其他人，這是我們每個人都可以做到的。讓我們通過此舉，讓每個人都有實現人生目標的自由——不僅因為這樣做是正確的，更是因為當人們可以把夢想變為偉大的現實時，我們每個人都會變得更好。

Part 5 Purpose doesn't only come from work.The third way we can create a sense of purpose for everyone is by building community.And in our generation when we say purpose for “everyone”, we mean everyone in the world.“目標”不僅來自于工作。去實現“讓每個人都有活的有目標”的第三種方式是建立社區。而當我們這一代人說“每個人”的時候，我們指的是——世界上的每一個人。

Quick show of hands: how many of you are from another country? Now, keep your hands up.Now, how many of you are friends with one of these folks? Now we're talking.We have grown up connected.來做一個調查：你們有多少來自美國之外其他國家？手舉起來！你們中有多少人是他們的朋友？看到了嗎？我們出生于一個互聯的世界。

In recent survey of millennials around the world asking what most defines our identity, the most popular answer wasn't nationality, ethnicity or religion it was citizen of the world“.That's a big deal.在最近一項調查中，世界各地的80后90后被要求選擇自己認同的身份，最流行的答案不是國籍，宗教或種族，它是”世界公民“。這是一個標志性的事件。

Every generation expands the circle of people we consider ”one of us“.And in our generation, that now includes the whole world.扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ 每一代人都擴大了我們認同的”自己人“。對我們來說，它現在涵蓋了整個世界。

We understand the great arc of human history bends towards people coming together in ever greater numbers--from tribes to cities to nations--to achieve things we couldn't on our own.回顧歷史，歷史的車輪總是青睞于更大基數的集體來實現我們不能單獨做的事情。

We get that our greatest opportunities are now global--we can be the generation that ends poverty, that ends disease.We get that our greatest challenges need global responses too--no country can fight climate change alone or prevent pandemics.Progress now requires coming together not just as cities or nations, but also as a global community.我們認為現在最大的機會是全球性的沒有一個國家可以單獨應對氣候變化或預防全球大瘟疫。要想取得進步不能靠單個城市或國家，更是要團結全球社會。

But we live in an unstable time.There are people left behind by globalization across the world.It's tough to care about people in other places if we don't feel good about our lives here at home.There's pressure to turn inwards.但我們生活在一個不穩定的時期。有人被全球化所拋棄。如果我們對我們自己的生活感到困擾，那么很難在別的地方照顧別人，因為有內在的壓力。扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ This is the struggle of our time.The forces of freedom, openness and global community against the forces of authoritarianism, isolationism and nationalism.Forces for the flow of knowledge, trade and immigration against those who would slow them down.This is not a battle of nations, it's a battle of ideas.There are people in every country for more global connection and good people against it.這是我們時代的斗爭。有支持自由，開放和反對威權主義，孤立主義和民族主義勢力的力量。有支持知識流動，貿易和移民。這不是一場國家之間的斗爭，而是一場思想的斗爭。每個國家的人們都有支持和反饋全球化的人。

This isn't going to be decided at the UN either.It's going to happen at the local level, when enough of us feel a sense of purpose and stability in our own lives that we can open up and start caring about everyone too.The best way to do that is to start building local communities right now.這不會在聯合國決定。這將在每個地區發生，當我們足夠的感覺到我們自己的使命和穩定感，我們可以開始關心其他人。最好的辦法是開始建立當地的社群。

We all get meaning from our communities.Whether our communities are houses or sports teams, churches or a cappella groups, they give us that sense we are part of something bigger, that we are not alone;they give us the strength to expand our horizons.扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ 我們都從我們的社群中獲得意義。無論我們的社群是鄰里社區還是運動小組，教堂或音樂團體。他們給我們歸屬感，我們屬于的群體的一部分，我們不是一個人;社群給了我們擴大我們的視野的力量。

That's why it's so striking that for decades, membership in all kinds of groups has declined as much as one-quarter.That's a lot of people who now need to find purpose somewhere else.這就是為什么這幾十年來各類團體的會員人數下降了四分之一的事實是多么需要引起注意！現在很多人都需要在別的地方尋找生活的使命。

But I know we can rebuild our communities and start new ones because many of you already are.但是，我知道我們可以重建我們的社群，因為你們中許多人已經開始行動了。

I met Agnes Igoye, who's graduating today.Where are you, Agnes? She spent her childhood navigating conflict zones in Uganda, and now she trains thousands of law enforcement officers to keep communities safe.我遇到了今天畢業的Agnes Igoye，（對現場說，你在哪里，Agnes？）她在烏干達的沖突地區度過童年時期，現在她在訓練數以千計的執法人員來保持社區的安全。

I met Kayla Oakley and Niha Jain, graduating today, too.Stand up.Kayla and Niha started a non-profit that connects people suffering from illnesses with people in their communities willing to help out.扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ 我遇到Kayla和Niha，也是今天畢業，他們發起了一個非營利組織，將患有疾病的人與社區內愿意幫助他們的人聯系起來。

I met David Razu Aznar, graduating from the Kennedy School today.David, stand up.David is a former city councilor who fought to make Mexico City the first Latin American city to pass marriage equality--even before San Francisco.我遇到了David Razu Aznar，今天從肯尼迪政治學院畢業（對現場說，David站起來）。他是前墨西哥市的議員，他成功領導了一場運動，使墨西哥城成為第一個通過婚姻平等法案的拉丁美洲城市，甚至比舊金山還早。

This is my story too.A student in a dorm room, connecting one community at a time, and keeping at it until one day we connect the whole world.這也是我自己的故事。一個宅在宿舍的學生，一次連接了一個社群，然后始終維護它，直到有一天我們連接了整個世界。

Change starts local.Even global changes start small--with people like us.In our generation, the struggle of whether we connect more, whether we achieve our greatest opportunities, comes down to this--your ability to build communities and create a world where every single person has a sense of purpose.改變源于身邊。甚至全球性的改變也是源自微小的事物 —— 和我們一樣的人。在我們這一代，我們的努力能否連接更多人和事，能否把握我們最大的機扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ 遇，都歸結于這一點 —— 你是否有能力搭建社群并且創造一個所有人都能有使命感的世界。

Part 6 Class of 2017, you are graduating into a world that needs purpose.It's up to you to create it.2017屆的校友們，你們畢業于一個無比需求使命感的世界。而怎么創造它由你自己決定。

Now, you may be thinking: can I really do this? 那么現在，你可能在想：我真的能做到嗎？

Remember when I told you about that class I taught at the Boys and Girls Club? One day after class I was talking to them about college, and one of my top students raised his hand and said he wasn't sure he could go because he's undocumented.He didn't know if they'd let him in.還記得我前面提到的我在Boys and Girls Club教授的課程嗎？有一天下課后，我正和他們談論大學，其中一個頂尖的學生舉手說道他并不確定他是否可以上大學因為他是沒有身份的。他完全不知道，大學會不會批準他入學！

Last year I took him out to breakfast for his birthday.I wanted to get him a present, so I asked him and he started talking about students he saw struggling and said ”You know, I'd really just like a book on social justice.“

去年，在他過生日的時候，我帶他去吃早餐。我想送給他一個禮物，所以我問他想要什么，然后他開始談論他看到的正在掙扎于進入大學的學生，”你知道的，我其實就想要一本關于社會正義的書。“ 扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ I was blown away.Here's a young guy who has every reason to be cynical.He didn't know if the country he calls home--the only one he's known--would deny him his dream of going to college.But he wasn't feeling sorry for himself.He wasn't even thinking of himself.He has a greater sense of purpose, and he's going to bring people along with him.我被震撼了。這本該是個完全可以憤世嫉俗的年輕人。他不知道他所稱之為家鄉的，他唯一知道的國家，是否會拒絕他上大學的夢想。但他自己并不覺得遺憾。他甚至都沒有想到自己。他有更宏大的使命感，他想要帶著大家一起前進。

It says something about our current situation that I can't even say his name because I don't want to put him at risk.But if a high school senior who doesn't know what the future holds can do his part to move the world forward, then we owe it to the world to do our part too.由于現在所處的情況，我并不能說出他的名字，因為我不想把他置身于危險之中。但是，如果一個不知道自己未來會怎樣的高中生都能為推動世界做出自己的貢獻，那么我們也理應對這個世界做出我們的貢獻。

Before you walk out those gates one last time, as we sit in front of Memorial Church, I am reminded of a prayer, Mi Shebeirach, that I say whenever I face a challenge, that I sing to my daughter thinking about her future when I tuck her into bed.在你們最后一次走出這些校門之前，當我們坐在這紀念教堂前的時候，我想起了一段祈禱，Mi Shebeirach，每當我面對挑戰時我都會說的，每當我把女兒放進嬰兒床里想象著她的未來都會唱到的： 扎克伯格2017哈佛畢業演講

By LYJ It goes:”May the source of strength, who blessed the ones before us, help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing."

它是這么說的：愿力量之源保佑我們找到勇氣，讓我們的生活擁有福氣。I hope you find the courage to make your life a blessing.我希望你們也可以找到屬于自己的勇氣，讓生活擁有福氣。Congratulations, Class of '17!Good luck out there.恭喜你們，2017屆的同學們！祝你們好運！
