May 15, 2017 Class Day
Thank you, Class of 2017. Thank you so much for inviting me to speak at this wonderfulcommencement ceremony. It's an honor to be back at Columbia to address this distinguished group of graduates, parents, siblings and special guests. We've all gathered to share in the joy of this day.
2017届毕业生们,感谢你们邀请我参与如此盛大的毕业典礼。很荣幸能借此重返我的母校哥伦比亚大学,在一群这么优秀的毕业生、各位的家长、兄弟姐妹及各方嘉宾齐聚的重要场合发表演讲,共享这场毕业盛会的喜悦。
First, I want to say to you graduates: I am so proud of all of you. You did it! Your families are proud of you. You have earned this day.
首先,我想对全体毕业生说:我为你们倍感骄傲,祝贺你们学业有成,各位的家人也为你们而骄傲,今天所有的欢呼和掌声属于你们!
I remember sitting where you are 34 years ago, feeling that these were the best years of my life. I found the profession of my life:artificial intelligence. I found the hobby of my life -- bridge; I played 30 hours a week, but to this date Columbia still wouldn't give me a degree in it. And I had my first date while at Columbia, and she became the love of my life.
34年前,我就坐在你们现在的座位上,那是我人生中最美好的时光。在大学时代,我找到了一生所追寻的专业领域——人工智能,也找到了一生中的最大爱好——桥牌。那时我每周打30个小时桥牌,但直到现在,哥伦比亚大学也没给我颁发桥牌学位。在哥大我还找到了自己的初恋,很幸运,她后来成为我的毕生挚爱。
And finally, on commencement day, I got to sit and listen toIsaac Asimov, the famous science fiction writer. I'm sorry that you only get me.
当年,在我的毕业典礼上,我有幸聆听了科幻小说巨匠艾萨克•阿西莫夫的致辞。很抱歉,今天你们只能听我演讲。@LearnAndRecord
As students, you've probably seen AI course enrollment go from 80 to 800. And that certainly is oneleading indicator.
作为工程学院学生,你们应该发现人工智能课程的选课人数从80人跃升至800人,这一指标清晰地告诉我们,人工智能正在蓬勃兴起。
I was introduced to AI at Columbia in 1980. As someone who has worked for 37 years on research, development, and investment in AI, I can speak with some authority that – AI will be a revolution on the scale ofthe Industrial Revolution, probably larger, and definitely faster.
1980年,我在哥伦比亚大学初识人工智能。37年来,我一直在人工智能领域从事研究、开发、投资相关的工作。我可以相对自信地预测,未来的人工智能革命在规模上将与工业革命旗鼓相当,甚至有可能带来远比工业革命更快速、更巨大的变革。
But this is not ahand-wavy[1]futuristAI talk. This is an engineer-to-engineer talk. We know that AI works. We know that AI gets better with more data and more use. We know how toextrapolate[2]it to measure its impact in ten years.
我所说的不是未来学家关于人工智能不切实际的预测,这是一场工程师与工程师的对话。身为工程师,我们了解人工智能如何运作,随着数据和使用量的增加,人工智能会如何迭代精进,我们也清楚,如何合理估算人工智能在未来10年会带来的影响。
[1]hand-wavy:(of a demonstration, proof, or explanation) Missing important details or logical steps, perhaps instead appealing to common sense, tradition, intuition, or examples.
[2]extrapolate[ɪk'stræpəleɪt]
to guess or think about what might happen using information that is already known 推断;推知
You can't reallyextrapolatea trend from such a small sample.
你不能仅凭这样一件小小的样品就推断出潮流真正的发展趋势。
Let's first see what AI can do today.
首先,我们来看看今天的人工智能可以做到什么。
Today, an AI image processing company that I invested in can make people'sselfiesmore beautiful, so much so that every Chinese movie star I know doesn't allow her photo to be published without it. Its user base? 1.3 billion.
今天,我投资的一家人工智能图像处理公司可以利用他们的产品技术让每个人的自拍变得更加漂亮。这家公司的产品已经成为了一种流行风尚,我认识的每个中国电影明星都绝不会允许自己的照片未经该产品美化就轻易发布。这个产品的用户基数有多大?13亿!
Today, an AI loan company that I invested in China canapprove a loanin seconds, with a default rate much lower than a human loan officer who would takes days. This company is less than two years old, but willunderwrite[3]almost 30 million loans this year, more than almost any bank.
今天,我在中国投资的一家人工智能信贷公司能够在数秒内完成每笔贷款审批,其坏账率远低于一名信贷人员需要数日才能审核完的传统繁琐贷款申请。这家公司成立不到2年时间,今年预估就能发放约三千万笔贷款,几乎超过任何一家我所知的传统银行。
[3]underwrite
1)If a bank or other organization underwrites an activity, it gives it financial support and takes responsibility for paying any costs if it fails. (银行或其他机构)为…提供财力支持并承担经济责任
2)If a company underwrites an insurance policy, someone's property, etc., that company has an agreement to pay out money in cases of damage or loss. 为…承担保险责任,为…承保
Today, an AIfacial recognitioncompany that I invested in can recognize any face from 3 million faces, with super-human accuracy. If installed in all the airports around the world, it wouldessentiallypreventknown terroristsorwanted criminalsfrom entering any airplane.
今天,我投资的一家人工智能人脸识别公司,他们的产品能够在300万张人脸中识别出任一张面孔,精准度远超人类。如果将这款软件安装到世界各地的机场,基本上就能阻止已知的恐怖分子或通缉犯登上任何一架民航客机。
These three AI companies are worth a total of about $10 billion. But that'sloose changecompared to what can be built in the next 10 years.
以上3家人工智能公司目前的总估值接近100亿美元。这个数值与未来10年人工智能即将创造出的巨大产业价值相比,只能算是些零头小钱。
Now let me give you three pieces of advice – how not to miss the Age of AI, so that you canhave the time of your life.
那么,如何才能不错过人工智能时代,确保你向人生巅峰而行呢?我提出三个建议:
My first is:Embrace AI, andalign your career by betting on its inevitability.
我的第一个建议:拥抱必将到来的人工智能、把你的职业选择对准人工智能赛道
Like all big change, AI requires you tohave an open mind. It's OK to be fearful of change.As Mark Twain explained, “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear. Not absence of fear.”
面对所有重大变革与机遇,你们首先需要开放的心态来迎接人工智能。对变革有所畏惧绝对正常,正如马克•吐温所说,“勇气来自抵抗恐惧并战胜恐惧,而不是来自没有恐惧。”
Your hard work has prepared you toconfront, orsimply accept, orwarmly embrace- change that will push you in new directions.
你们过往的努力可以帮助你们坦然面对、欣然接纳或热情拥抱未来的改变——这些改变将推动你找到新的人生方向。
Given what lies ahead, you must warmly embrace AI. While the first AI tools in your industry may appearfragile, be assured they will get better with data.
面对未来,你们必须要选择热情拥抱人工智能。即便你所在领域的第一个人工智能工具看上去是那么脆弱不堪,相信我,只要有更多的数据,它们很快就能进步。
The three software companies I mentioned earlier, when they were first launched:often made people uglier,lost millions in bad loans, andthought I was some talk show celebrity. But given time and much more data, theirself-learningmade themdramaticallybetter than people. Not only are they better, they don't get tired nor emotional. They don'tgo on strike, and they are infinitely scalable.
刚才我提到的3家软件公司,他们的第一代产品确实状况百出,自拍美化功能反而把好多人的脸蛋给变丑了,贷款判断不准也曾造成数百万元损失,图像辨识我的脸居然把我误判为某脱口秀主持人。但假以时日,当人工智能处理越来越多的数据后,人工智能的自我学习能力就能让这些产品在特定领域的能力远远超越人类。人工智能算法还不只是超过人类这么简单,它们不会疲倦,不会抱怨,不会罢工,人工智能还具有无穷的规模化潜力。
Withhardware,software, andnetworking costscoming down, all they cost iselectricity.
况且,伴随着硬件、软件和网络带宽成本的下降,人工智能的成本几乎就是电费了。
So whatever domain you choose, be the first to use AI tools. If you're a software engineer, use AI tools tocheck and optimize your code, tofind re-usable code, or even towrite new code. Use AI tools to hire and build your team. If you start your own company, use AI tools to manage your books and maximize your profits. Use AI tools to replace your customer support and your salespeople. Use robots to produce your goods and autonomous vehicles to deliver them.
所以,不管你选择什么工作领域,首先要使用人工智能工具。如果你是软件工程师,你可以用人工智能工具来检查和完善代码,找到可复用的代码,甚至用AI来写代码。组建团队时,用人工智能工具来招聘和挑选人才。如果你准备创业,可以用人工智能工具来管理订单并优化获利,也可以用人工智能工具来替代客服和销售人员。你可以用机器人来制造产品,使用自动驾驶车辆来配送商品。
Thesymbiotic[7]combination of humans and AI is all about 1+1=3. For example, when a doctor can correctly diagnose cancer, and save70 lives out of 100, and an early AI tool can save60 lives out of 100-- together perhaps they can save80 lives. And when the AI tool improves to saving 80 lives, perhaps together they can save90. Sodo not passively accept AI, but embrace AI, seek out AI, and find every which way that AI can help you. Learn AI, and find clever ways to build thatsymbiotic relationshipearlier.
人类与人工智能协作的结果是1+1=3。举例来说,如果一个医生能正确诊断癌症,并能在100个患者中拯救70个生命,而一个早期人工智能工具可以在100个患者中拯救60个生命。将医生与人工智能结合后,也许他们就能增加拯救80个生命。而且,当人工智能工具优化到能够拯救80个生命时,将人工智能与医生结合,或许就能够拯救90个生命。所以,不要被动地接受人工智能,而应积极拥抱人工智能,探索人工智能的可能,找到人工智能为你创造价值的所有可行性。你们要学会使用人工智能,更快、更聪明地构建人类与人工智能间的协作关系。
[7]symbiotic[ˌsɪmbaɪ'ɒtɪk]
a relationship between people or organizations that depend on each other equally (人或机构间的)相互依赖的关系,互依关系
Just like the reporter who first foundword processing, the accountant who first used a spreadsheet, the first photographer who applied Photoshop, you willhave an edge[8]. In addition, AI will evolve faster and more broadly than these tools, and your edge will grow and become sustainable.
你们会像第一个使用文字处理软件的记者,或第一个使用电子表格软件的会计师,或第一个使用Photoshop图像处理软件的摄影师一样,获得巨大的收益。此外,与传统软件工具相比,人工智能的进化速度快得多,应用范围广得多,只有作为积极拥抱的引领者,你在人工智能工具的领先地位才得以巩固并增长。
[8]edge:an advantage over other people 优势;优越之处
In terms of experience, she definitelyhad the edgeover the other people that we interviewed.
就工作经验而言,她显然要比我们面试过的其他人都胜出一筹。
My second piece of advice is:Uphold your responsibility as an engineer.
我的第二个建议:肩负起工程师的使命。
We all know that for centuries physicians tookthe Hippocratic Oath[9],as a responsibility to treat human life as sacred. In the age of AI, I think engineers' responsibilities are equally sacred, or even greater.
众所周知,数百上千年以来,医生们遵循着希波克拉底誓词,承担着神圣的救死扶伤的神圣使命。在人工智能时代,我认为工程师的使命同样神圣,甚至更加沉重。
[9]the Hippocratic Oath:the promise that doctors make to keep to the principles希波克拉底誓言(医生保证遵守医生职业道德的誓言)
Why? Because as top engineering graduates from a top school, duringthe Age of AI, you are the ones with the power. But please remember what the world's greatest philosopher,Spiderman, said: "with great power comes great responsibility."
为什么这样说?因为在人工智能时代,作为毕业于顶级学府的顶尖工程师,你们拥有巨大的权力。请不要忘记世界上最伟大的哲学家——蜘蛛侠的那句名言:“权力越大,责任越重”。
In the Age of AI,autonomousandsemi-autonomous algorithmswillinvest money,take care of children,drive cars, andconduct surgery. You will be the ones who build these products, which willimpactpeople's possessions, health, and even lives.
在人工智能时代,自动或半自动的算法可以负责投资决策、照看儿童、驾驶汽车、完成医疗手术。未来的人工智能产品将直接影响人们的财产、健康甚至是生命,而你们就是这些产品的设计者、制造者。
As engineers,we cannot abandon our conscience and sense of responsibility. We need to bethorough,diligent, andethical, not just in the architecture and coding, but also in the design, in the testing, in running the machine learning training, and in downloading the updated parameters.
作为工程师,我们不能背弃我们的道德和责任,我们需要在方方面面都做到严谨、勤勉、遵守道德。这不仅仅指架构和编码,还包含设计、测试、训练机器学习模型以及下载更新的参数等等。
The firstairbagssaved many lives, but they also accidentally killed some children, due to the lack of adequate design and instructions that adequately considered children's smaller size.
第一代安全气囊拯救了许多人的生命,但同时由于设计和使用说明不完善,没有充分考虑儿童娇小的体形,也意外地导致了一些儿童的死亡。
So your first responsibilities areto your users, to making your productsafe,thoughtful, andusable. And more than “product safety.” You also have a responsibility to foresee and preventthe potential risks of technologyto users from getting out of hand. So please speak up strongly against “autonomous weapons” or “bartering[10]or sales of privacy data.”
所以你们的首要使命是对你们的用户负责,确保你们的产品安全、周密、有用。应该说不仅仅产品安全,你们还有绝对的责任去预见和防止潜在的技术失控对人类带来威胁。所以请大声地对“自动杀人机器”以及“用户隐私数据交易”说不!
[10]barter:to exchange goods for other things rather than for money 以物易物;易货贸易
Hebarteredhis stamp collection for her comics.
他用他集的邮票换她的连环漫画书。
Your second responsibility isto yourself. In the Age of AI, you are not just competing with other people, but also with AI. You have a responsibility to work on the hard problems, and avoid wasting your time doing what machines will be able to do. Don't waste your talent repeating what you learned at school. Don't accept a job that doesn't challenge you.Take risks and learn vigorously and rigorously so that you can become the best in something specific and useful, whatever your field.Be creative and inventive. AI is great at optimizing, but AI cannot invent something new.
你们的第二层使命是对自己负责,在人工智能时代,你不仅仅是与其他人竞争,你还在和人工智能竞争。你有责任优先解决疑难问题,而不是把你的时间浪费在机器就能胜任的事务上。不要选择一份对你毫无挑战性的工作,无论在哪个领域,都勇于冒险、勤于学习,只有这样,你才能成为最独特和最有价值的人类成员。要坚持创新和创造——人工智能的优势在于优化,而非从零创新。
Your final responsibility isto make the world a better place with your choices as an engineer. Choose jobs that save lives, not destroy them. Choose jobs that empower people, notdemoralize[11]them. Work for organizations with more compassion than greed, and for people who care more about world peace than world domination.
各位的最后一项使命是作为工程师,用你们的选择让这个世界更加美好:选择拯救生命,而非残害生命;选择激励他人,而非打压别人;选择在富有同情心、不贪婪的机构工作;选择心怀世界和平而非妄图主宰世界的雇主。
[11]demoralize:to make someone or something feel much less confident 使泄气,使垂头丧气
Losing several games in a row had completelydemoralizedthe team.
连续输掉数场比赛使全队上下彻底泄了气。
And my last advice:Be in touch with your heart.
我的最后一个建议:追随我心。
After all that serious tech talk, what I am going to talk about next may seem a little bitout-of place. But it comes from my heart.
谈了这么多严肃的技术话题,我接下来要说的观点可能在这儿听起来有些不恰当,但却是我的肺腑之言。
Four years ago, I was diagnosed with 4th stage lymphoma. I faced the real possibility that my remaining time here was measured in months.
4年前,我被诊断患上淋巴癌第四期,当时我面对的无情事实:我的生命可能就只剩下短短几个月。
During that time ofultimate uncertainty, I thought a lot about my life. I came to realize that my accomplishments, and even the arrival of AI after waiting 30 yearsmeant nothing to me.
在那段前路未卜的时间,我对生命的意义深思良多。我意识到我所有的成就,包括在等待30多年后终于来到的人工智能时代,对我来说其实毫无意义。
I came to realize that by chasing these technologies, products, investments, and my career, my priorities wereout-of-order. I neglected my family. My father had passed away. My mother barely remembered me. My kids had grown up.
我意识到我过去所追求的科技、产品、投资、事业,我重视各种事情的优先级完全本末倒置。我忽视了我的家庭,我父亲去世了,我母亲已几乎不认得我,我的孩子们也不知不觉都长大了。
One of the books I read during my illness wasBronnie Ware's book about the regrets of people on their deathbeds. She found that no one wished they'd worked harder or spent more time at the office or accumulated more possessions.People's top wish was that they had spent more time, sharing their love of their loved ones.
在治疗期间,我读了布朗妮·维尔(Bronnie Ware)的一本书,书中记录了临终病人一生中最后悔的事情。作者提到,没有一个人会为当年不够认真工作、不够努力加班、或财产积攒不足而后悔。人们临终时最最盼望的,是希望能再有机会花更多时间与自己所爱的人在一起。
Fortunately, I am now inremission[12]so I am here with you today. I am spending much more time with my family. I moved closer to my mother. I travel with my wife, whether on business or for pleasure. When my kids come home, I would take not two or three days off from work, but two or three weeks.@LearnAndRecord
幸运的是,目前我的病情已缓解稳定,所以今天我才能来到哥大和你们在一起。如今,我会花更多的时间陪伴家人,我把家搬到了离我母亲更近的住处,无论出差还是单纯出游,我都会尽量和我妻子一起出行。孩子们回家时,我会从工作中抽出两三周、而不是仅是两三天的时间来陪伴他们。
[12]remission:a period of time when an illness is less severe or is not affecting someone (疾病的)缓解期,减轻期
Her cancer has been inremissionfor several years.
她的癌症几年来有所缓解。
I also spent more time meaningfully connecting with more people. I spent weekends traveling with my best friends. I took my company on a one-week vacation toSilicon Valley-- theirMecca. I met with young people who sent me questions on Facebook. I reached out to people I offended years ago and asked for their forgiveness and friendship. I wrote a book andshot a documentaryto share what I had learned from my near-death experience.
我同时还花更多的时间来认识新朋友,我会用周末时间与好朋友出游,我带领公司员工去硅谷度了一周的假期——硅谷对他们来说犹如圣地一般,我约见社群平台上向我提问的年轻人,我联系多年前我曾经冒犯过的人,请求他们的谅解。我写了一本书并拍摄纪录片,分享我与死神擦肩而过所学到的一切。
Mynear-death experiencenot only changed my life and my values, it gave me anenlightened viewabout what AI should mean for humanity.Elon MuskandStephen Hawkinghave given us their view, a view wheremachines supersede humans completely, andwe are to control them or become them.
这段直面死亡的经历不仅改变了我的人生和价值观,还让我更清晰认识到人工智能对于人类的真正意义。埃隆·马斯克和史蒂芬·霍金已经给出了他们的观点,他们认为机器将全面取代人类,而人类能仅存的选择:要么控制AI,要么成为AI。
With my near-death experience, I would like to offer an alternate ending to their prediction of the AI future. Surely AI has, or will beat us on many analytical tasks with definitive decisions and outcomes. But these tasks are not what make us human.What makes us human is that we are able to love.
这段直面死亡的经历,让我想对人工智能的未来提出另一版结局。毫无疑问,人工智能凭借精准的决策和产出,在很多分析型工作上已经或必将超过人类。但人类并不是因为会做这些工作而成为人类,我们之所以为人类,是因为我们拥有爱的能力。
The moment when we see our new-born babies; the feeling oflove-at-first-sight; the warm feeling from friends who listen to us empathetically; the feeling ofself-actualizationwhen we help someone in need.These all demonstrate thatwe are far from understanding the human “heart”, let alone replicating it. But we do know that humans uniquely are able to love and be loved. Humans want to love and be loved. That loving and being loved are what makes our lives worthwhile.
当我们看见初生的婴儿,当我们一见钟情陷入爱河,当朋友贴近倾听我们分享经历,当我们通过帮助别人而实现自我……人类的爱就在那里。所有这些都表明,我们目前还远远不够充分理解人类的“内心”,更不要说复制它了。我们知道,爱和被爱的能力是人类所独有的,我们渴望爱和被爱,这就是我们生命的意义所在。
With this belief, we now know what we must do. At a minimum,recognize and be thankful that we are loved. If we can do better,return the love, and maybe a little bit more. Finally, the highest level of love:Pay it forward.Give love unconditionally.
带着这个信念,我们就会知道应该接下来该怎么做。首先我们应认可并感恩我们被爱的事实,我们可以回馈他人的爱,甚至加入更多的爱。最终达到爱的最高境界:不断将爱传递下去,不求回报地去爱。
Coming back to our AI theme,love differentiates us from AI. Despite what science fiction movies may portray, I can tell you responsibly that AI programs cannot love. They don't even have feelings or self-consciousness.AlphaGomay beat the world champion, but it has no fun playing the game, feels no happiness from winning, has no desire to hug a loved one after it wins.
回到人工智能的话题,爱让人类有别于人工智能。不要相信科幻电影里描绘的人工智能的爱(或感情),我可以负责任地告诉你们,人工智能不会有爱,它们甚至没有感情和自我意识。AlphaGo虽然能击败世界棋手冠军,但是它体验不到手谈的乐趣,胜利不会为它带来愉悦感,也不会让它激动到产生想要拥抱一位他爱的人的渴望。
And in the future, even if an AI diagnostic tool is 10 times more accurate than doctors, patients will not want a cold pronouncement from the tool: “you have 4th stage lymphoma and a 70% likelihood of dying within 5 years.” Patients will want a “doctor of love” who listens to our complaints, gives us encouragement, like “Kai-Fu had the same lymphoma, and he survived, so you can too”, and perhaps visits us at home, and is always available to talk to us. This kind of “doctor of love” will not only make us feel better, and have greater confidence, but aplacebo effectwill kick in and increase our likelihood ofrecuperation.
在未来,即便人工智能诊疗的准确率是人类医生的10倍,但是我们还是不希望从机器冷冰冰的话语里听到“您患有第四期淋巴癌,有70%的机率会在五年内死亡”。我们更希望得到医生的关爱,他们会倾听我们的抱怨,为我们打气,他们会说,“李开复也得了同样的淋巴癌,但经过治疗后稳定下来,所以你也要保持希望。医生可能来到家里定期出诊,我们随时能与医生沟通交流。这些医生的关爱会让我们感到舒坦,给我们更大的信心,这种安慰剂效应的确可能有助于提升康复几率。
This will solve the AI employment problem we mentioned earlier. The number of “doctors of love” will outnumber today's doctors. The displaced workers can take upcareers spreading love and experiences– whethera passionate tour guide, anattentive concierge[13],a funny bartender[14],an infectious sushi chef.
此前提到的失业问题不就这么缓解了么?这种“关爱型医生”的数量将超出现有医生的数量。被机器取代的人可以投身于需要关爱及经验分享的行业——例如,做一名热情洋溢的导游,充满关爱的礼宾人员,风趣幽默的调酒师,极具魅力的寿司大厨。
[13]concierge['kɒnsi.eə(r)ʒ]
1)a person who is employed to take care of an apartment building, especially in France (尤指法国的)大楼管理员,看门人,门房
2)someone who is employed in a hotel to help guests arrange things, such as theatre tickets and visits to restaurants (帮助客人安排戏票、餐馆等事宜的)旅馆服务台人员
3)someone employed by a large company to do jobs, such as shopping, for other employees who are working 大公司雇用的为其他员工服务(如采购)的雇员
[14]bartender:someone who makes and serves drinks in a bar 酒吧招待
@LearnAndRecord
With the new “experts of love” titles many new kind of service jobs will be created. And they don't have to be “jobs”, they can be volunteers, at anorphanage[15]or a retirement home. This will give people jobs that AI cannot take away. They will do the job withprideanda strong sense of self-actualization. Most importantly, this will fill our planet with love and joy.
随着各类“关爱专家”头衔的出现,很多新兴服务业的工作岗位也将被创造出来。这些工作不一定非要是传统意义上的“工作”,也可能是孤儿院或养老院提供服务的志愿者。这些工作不但能带给人们自我实现的自豪感和满足感,更重要的是,它们能让我们的地球充满爱与快乐。
[15]orphanage['ɔː(r)f(ə)nɪdʒ]

We've built manytask-orientedAI that is much better than our brains. That was my dream 37 years ago. As a hard-core computer scientist, I'm proud that we've come so far. But now I realize that I went after the wrong organ.The most important part of the human body isnotthebrain,buttheheart.
人类已制造出许多以任务为导向的人工智能,在每个具体任务上它们的表现远超人脑,这正是我37年前的梦想。作为一个计算机科学家,我为我们所取得的科技进步成就而自豪。但我现在觉得,自己也许追逐错了方向——人类最重要的器官,不是大脑,而是内心。
That's a lesson that took me, I confess, too long to learn. My hope for all of you, as your careersblossomand your livestake shape, is that you willapproach your lives with all the brains you certainly have, but also, above all,with all the heart you canmuster[16].
我承认,我花了太长的时间才认识到这一点。我对你们的期望是,随着你们的事业开始腾飞,人生开始步入新的阶段,你们在实现人生目标的过程中不仅要利用你们聪慧的大脑,更要遵从你们的内心。
[16]muster:to produce or encourage something such as an emotion or support 鼓起(勇气);激起(某种感情或支持)
She managed tomusterthe courage to ask him to the cinema.
她终于鼓起勇气请他去看电影。
It will be up to you to carry this forward, but I have confidence:if you let your heart be your guide, you'll find your way through all of the massive changes that lie ahead, andmake the next 10 years the best years of your lives.
未来的重任落在你们的肩头。我相信,无论未来如何改变,只要遵从内心的指引,下一个10年必将成为你们人生中最辉煌灿烂的10年!
Thank you, Class of 2017.
