原文及翻譯
I learned a lot here at Harvard about the advances being made in the sciences, and I got great exposure to them. However, humanity's greatest advances are not in its discoveries, but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity, whether through democracy, strong public education, quality health care, or broad economic opportunity.
在哈佛，我學(xué)到了很多有關(guān)科學(xué)進(jìn)步的知識，也接觸了很多科學(xué)知識。然而，人類最大的進(jìn)步并不在于其發(fā)現(xiàn)，而在于如何應(yīng)用這些發(fā)現(xiàn)來減少不平等，無論是通過民主、強(qiáng)大的公共教育、優(yōu)質(zhì)的醫(yī)療保健還是廣泛的經(jīng)濟(jì)機(jī)會。
Reducing inequity is the highest human achievement. 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. It took me decades to find out.
減少不平等是人類的最高成就。我離開校園時(shí)，對這個(gè)國家數(shù)百萬年輕人被剝奪教育機(jī)會知之甚少，對發(fā)展中國家數(shù)百萬生活在難以言喻的貧困和疾病中的人們一無所知。我花了幾十年才發(fā)現(xiàn)這一點(diǎn)。
You graduates came to Harvard at a different time, knowing 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 solve them.
你們這些畢業(yè)生來到哈佛的時(shí)間不同，比之前的同學(xué)更了解世界上的不平等。在你們在這里的這些年里，我希望你們有機(jī)會思考，在這個(gè)技術(shù)加速發(fā)展的時(shí)代，我們?nèi)绾巫罱K應(yīng)對這些不平等并解決它們。
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.
試想一下，為了便于討論，你每周有幾個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間和每月幾美元可以捐獻(xiàn)給某項(xiàng)事業(yè)，你想把這些時(shí)間和金錢花在能對拯救生命和改善生活產(chǎn)生最大影響的地方。
Where would you spend it? For Melinda and me, the challenge is how we can do the most good for the greatest number with the resources we have, new ideas in economics and politics.
你會把錢花在哪里？對梅琳達(dá)和我來說，挑戰(zhàn)在于我們?nèi)绾卫梦覀儞碛械馁Y源、經(jīng)濟(jì)和政治方面的新思想為最多的人做最大的好事。
