I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Lastyear,J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced thispodium. The year before,Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist andcomputer nerdstood here. Today, sadly, you have me.I am not wealthy, but at least I am a nerd.我不太肯定,自己够得上哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲人这样的殊荣。
去年登上这个讲台的是,英国亿万身家的小说家J.K. Rowling女士,她最早是一个古典文学的学生。
前年站在这里的是比尔盖茨先生,他是一个超级富翁、一个慈善家和电脑高手。
今年很遗憾,你们的演讲人是我,虽然我不是很有钱,但是至少我也算一个高手。
I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to methan you might care to imagine. You see, I was the academic black sheep of my family. Myolder brother has an M.D./Ph.D. from MIT and Harvard while my younger brother has a lawdegree from Harvard. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would besatisfied. Not so. When I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, Thatsnice, but when are you going to visit me next. Now,as the last brother with a degree fromHarvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied.我很感激哈佛大学给我荣誉学位,这对我很重要,也许比你们会想到的还要重要。
要知道,在学术上,我是我们家的不肖之子。
我的哥哥在麻省理工学院得到医学博士,在哈佛大学得到哲学博士;我的弟弟在哈佛大学得到一个法律学位。
我本人得到诺贝尔奖的时候,我想我的妈妈会高兴。
但是,我错了。
消息公布的那天早上,我给她打电话,她听了只说:这是好消息,不过我想知道,你下次什么时候来看我?如今在我们兄弟当中,我最终也拿到了哈佛学位,我想这一次,她会感到满意。
Another difficulty with giving a Harvard commencement address is that some of you maydisapprove of the fact that I have borrowed material from previous speeches. I ask that youforgive me for two reasons.在哈佛大学毕业典礼上发表演讲,还有一个难处,那就是你们中有些人可能有意见,不喜欢我重复前人演讲中说过的话。
我要求你们谅解我,因为两个理由。
First, in order to have impact, it is important to deliver the same message more than once. Inscience,it is important to be the first person to make a discovery, but it is even more importantto be the last person to make that discovery.首先,为了产生影响力,很重要的方法就是重复传递同样的信息。
