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.

　　今天我想谈谈创造一个每个人都有使命感的世界的三种方法：一起做有意义的项目;通过重新定义平等，使每个人都有追求目标的自由;在全世界建立社群。

　　First, let’s take on big meaningful projects.

　　首先，让我们来说说做有意义的项目。

　　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 together.

　　我们这一代将不得不面对数千万的工作被机器取代的情况，比如自动驾驶。但我们还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.

　　每一代都有属于自己一代的作品。比如有超过30万人一起努力，让人类登上了月球——包括那个看门的人;数百万志愿者为世界各地的小儿麻痹症患者打疫苗;数以百万计的人为建立胡佛水坝和其他伟大的项目贡献了自己的力量。

　　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.

　　做这些项目的使命，并不仅仅是为人们提供工作，而是让我们整个国家感到自豪，我们可以做一些伟大的事情。

　　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.

　　现在轮到我们来做一些伟大的事了。我知道，你可能会想：我不知道如何建造大坝，或者如何让一百万人参与到任何事情中来。

　　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.

　　但我想告诉你一个秘密：没有人从一开始就知道如何做，想法并不会在最初就完全成型。只有当你工作时才变得逐渐清晰，你只需要做的就是开始。

　　If I had to understand everything about connecting people before I began, I never would have started Facebook.

　　如果我必须在开始(Facebook)之前就了解清楚“如何连接人”的想法，那么我就永远不会启动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. That’s not a thing.

　　或许电影和流行文化会让人觉得被误导，那些想法会出现在一些灵光一闪的时刻，这其实是一个危险的谎言。这让我们感到不满足，因为我们没有了我们自己的(行动)，它会阻止那些拥有好想法的人去开始。对了，你知道电影当中还有什么是对创新的误解吗?那就是，没有人会在玻璃上写数学公式。那不是什么事。

　　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.

　　其实，理想主义是好事，但你要做好被误解的准备。任何为了更大愿景工作的人可能会被称为疯子，即使你最终获得成功。任何为了复杂问题工作的人都会因为不能全面了解挑战而被指责，即使你不可能事先了解一切。任何抓住主动权先行一步的人都会因为步子太快而受到批评，因为总是有人想让你慢下来。

　　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.

　　在我们的社会里，我们并不经常做一些伟大的事，因为我们害怕犯错。如果我们什么都不做，我们就忽视了今天所有的错误。事实上，我们所做的任何事情将来都会有问题。但这不能阻止我们开始。

　　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 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?

　　那我们还在等什么呢? 现在轮到我们这一代人定义“公共事务”的时候了。在地球摧毁之前，如何阻止气候变化?如何让数百万人愿意参与制造和安装太阳能电池板? 如何治愈所有疾病?如何要求志愿者跟踪他们的健康数据和分享他们的基因组? 今天，我们可能要花上50倍的价格去治疗病人，而不是找到一种治疗方法让人类第一时间无法染上疾病。这并不合理，我们可以解决这个问题。 民主现代化如何让每个人都能在网上投票，以及通过个性化教育让每个人都能学习?

　　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.

　　这些成就在我们能力范围内是可以实现的，让我们让每个人在我们社会中发挥其应有的作用来做这些事情。让我们做一些伟大的事情，不仅要创造进步，而是要创造purpose。

　　So taking on big meaningful projects is the first thing we can do to create a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.

　　所以我们可以做的第一件事就是，创造一个每人都拥有使命感的世界。

　　The second is redefining equality to give everyone the freedom they need to pursue purpose.

　　第二件事是，重新定义平等，让每个人都有追求目标的自由。

　　Many of our parents had stable jobs throughout their careers. Now we’re all entrepreneurial, whether we’re starting projects or finding or role. And that’s great. Our culture of entrepreneurship is how we create so much progress.

　　我们这一代人的父母，很多在整个职业生涯中都有稳定的工作。但是现在，我们这一代人都是企业家，无论我们是刚开始一些项目还是在寻找、或是已经扮演着这个角色。这都很棒，我们的创业文化恰好是导致我们创造如此多进步的原因。

　　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 games, chat systems, 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.

　　现在，只要在尝试很多新想法的时候，创业文化就会蓬勃发展。 Facebook并不是我做的第一件事，我还做过游戏、聊天系统、学习工具和音乐播放器。我并不孤独， 因为JK罗琳在出版《哈利波特》之前被拒绝了12次，即使碧昂丝也不得不写了数百首歌曲，才有了今天Halo这首歌获得的光环。最大的成功来自于我们享有失败的自由。

　　But 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. Right now our society is way over-indexed on rewarding success and we don’t do nearly enough to make it easy for everyone to take lots of shots.

　　然而，今天，财富不均会让每个人都受到伤害。当你没有自由把你的想法变成一个历史性的企业的时候，我们就输了。现在，我们的社会在通往成功的路上有过多的指引，但我们做的不够，并不是每个人都能够轻易得分(获得成功)。

　　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.

　　面对现实吧，我们的社会体系是有问题的，当我能够离开哈佛并在10年内赚取数十亿美元的时候，还有数百万学生无法偿还贷款，更不用说开始创业。

　　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.

　　看，我认识很多企业家，然而我并不知道是否有一个人是因为没有足够的钱而放弃创业。但是我知道很多人不敢追求梦想，因为一旦他们失败，并没有很好的缓冲(承托住)。

　　We all know we don’t succeed just by having a good idea or working hard. We succeed by being lucky too. If I had to support my family growing up instead of having time to code, if I didn’t know I’d be fine if Facebook didn’t work out, I wouldn’t be standing here today. If we’re honest, we all know how much luck we’ve had.

　　我们都知道，想要成功，光凭一个好想法，或者一个好的工作态度，是远远不够的。幸运也是成功很重要的因素。如果当初，我无法花时间编写代码，而是必须勤工俭学补贴家用，如果我无法承受“万一Facebook不能成功”这一假设，我今天都不会站在这里。诚实地想一想，我们都知道，(能够有今天)自己是多么的幸运。

　　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 time to define a new social contract for our generation.

　　每一代人的成长都扩大了平等的定义。前几代人争取投票权和民权，于是他们争取到了有新政和大社会。现在到了我们为这一代人定义新的社会契约的时候了。

　　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 give everyone 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 company. We’re all going to make mistakes, so we need a society that focuses less on locking us up or stigmatizing us. And as technology keeps changing, we need to focus more on continuous education throughout our lives.

　　我们应该有一个不仅仅凭借GDP这样的经济指标来衡量进步的社会，而是一个每个人都可以找到自己的存在意义和角色的社会。我们应该探索像“普遍基本收入”这样的观念，让每一个人都有机会尝试新事物。每个人都有可能换很多工作，这就要求我们得建立人人都负担得起的儿童托管保育机构和不约束于就职单位的医疗保健，这样让人可以无负担地去上班。人人都会犯错，所以我们需要一个更少污蔑与束缚的社会。随着技术的不断变化，我们要更多地关注继续教育，活到老，学到老。

　　And yes, giving everyone the freedom to pursue purpose isn’t free. People like me should pay for it. Many of you will do well and you should too.

　　是的，赋予每个人追求目标的自由，这并不是免费的。像我这样的人应当为此付费。在你们之中，许多人都会做得很好，当然，你们也有义务去做好。

　　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 generation. It was never a question of if we were going to do this. The only question was when.

　　这也是为什么当初 Priscilla 和我启动了Chan Zuckerberg Initiative，并承诺要我们的财富去促进机会平等。这些是我们这代人的价值。”要不要这样做”从来都不是问题，唯一的问题是“什么时候去做”。

　　Millennials are already one of the most charitable generations in history. In one year, three of four US millennials made a donation and seven out of ten raised money for charity.

　　千禧一代已经是历史上最慈善的一代人之一了。千禧一代的美国人在一年中，平均四个人里就有三个人会捐款，平均十个人里就有七个人会为慈善募捐。

　　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.

　　但这也不仅限于金钱。你也可以奉献你的时间。我在这里向你保证，如果你可以每一两周要花一个小时(去奉献和帮助)，就会有一个人因此获得帮助，甚至实现他们以前不可能实现的目标。

　　Maybe you think that’s too much time. I used to. When Priscilla graduated from Harvard she became a teacher, and before she’d do education work with me, she told me I needed to teach a class. I complained: "Well, I’m kind of busy. I’m running this company." But she insisted, so I taught a middle school program on entrepreneurship at the local Boys and Girls Club.

　　或许你觉得这太花时间了。我曾经也这么认为。当Priscilla毕业于哈佛后，她成了一名老师，在她和我一起投身教育行业之前，她告诉我，我需要去教授一门课。我抱怨道：“好吧，可是我很忙啊，我得经营Facebook啊。”但是她坚持让我去教课，所以我就在当地的男童女童俱乐部教授了一门关于创业精神的中学课程。

　　I taught them lessons on product development and marketing, and they taught me what it’s like feeling targeted for your race and having a family member in prison. I shared stories from my time in school, and they shared their hope of one day going to college too. For five years now, I’ve been having dinner with those kids 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 in their families.

　　我教他们在产品开发和市场营销中应当吸取的教训，从他们身上，我学到了当自己的种族受到社会关注、或有家庭成员身陷囹圄时的感受。 我向他们分享了我读书时的故事，他们分享了对走进大学深造的渴望。 五年来，我每个月都会和这些孩子一起共进一次晚餐。其中有一个孩子，为我与Priscilla的第一个宝宝在出生前，举办了宝宝洗礼派对。明年，这些孩子们都要上大学了，是的，他们每一个都要上大学了，而且他们都将骄傲地成为自己家族里第一名大学生。

　　We can all make time to give someone a hand. Let’s give everyone the freedom to pursue their 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.

　　花一点时间，去帮助其他人，这是我们每个人都可以做到的。让我们通过此举，让每个人都有实现人生目标的自由——不仅因为这样做是正确的，更是因为当人们可以把梦想变为伟大的现实时，我们每个人都会变得更好。

　　Purpose doesn’t only come from work. The third way we can create a sense of purpose for everyone is by building community. And when our generation says "everyone", we mean everyone in the world.

　　“目标”不仅来自于工作。去实现“让每个人都有活的有目标”的第三种方式是建立社区。 而当我们这一代人说“每个人”的时候，我们指的是——世界上的每一个人。

　　Quick show of hands: how many of you are from another country? Now, how many of you are friends with one of these folks? Now we’re talking. We have grown up connected.

　　来做一个调查：你们有多少来自美国之外其他国家?你们中有多少人是他们的朋友?看到了吗?我们出生于一个互联的世界。

　　In a survey asking millennials around the world what defines our identity, the most popular answer wasn’t nationality, religion or ethnicity, it was "citizen of the world". That’s a big deal.

　　在最近一项调查中，世界各地的80后90后被要求选择自己认同的身份，最流行的答案不是国籍，宗教或种族，它是“世界公民”。这是一个标志性的事件。

　　Every generation expands the circle of people we consider "one of us". For us, it now encompasses the entire world.

　　每一代人都扩大了我们认同的“自己人”。对我们来说，它现在涵盖了整个世界。

　　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.

　　回顾历史，历史的车轮总是青睐于更大基数的集体 - 从部落到城市到国家 - 来实现我们不能单独做的事情。

　　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.

　　我们认为现在最大的机会是全球性的 - 我们可以成为终结贫穷和结束疾病的一代人。但同时我们也意识到我们面临的巨大挑战也需要全球性的协作 - 没有一个国家可以单独应对气候变化或预防全球大瘟疫。要想取得进步不能靠单个城市或国家，更是要团结全球社会。

　　But we live in an unstable time. There are people left behind by globalization across the world. It’s hard 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.

　　但我们生活在一个不稳定的时期。有人被全球化所抛弃。如果我们对我们自己的生活感到困扰，那么很难在别的地方照顾别人，因为有内在的压力。

　　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 global connection and good people against it.

　　这是我们时代的斗争。有支持自由，开放和反对威权主义，孤立主义和民族主义势力的力量。有支持知识流动，贸易和移民。这不是一场国家之间的斗争，而是一场思想的斗争。每个国家的人们都有支持和反馈全球化的人。

　　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. The best way to do that is to start building local communities right now.

　　这不会在联合国决定。这将在每个地区发生，当我们足够的感觉到我们自己的使命和稳定感，我们可以开始关心其他人。最好的办法是开始建立当地的社群。

　　We all get meaning from our communities. Whether our communities are houses or sports teams, churches or music 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.

　　我们都从我们的社群中获得意义。无论我们的社群是邻里社区还是运动小组，教堂或音乐团体。他们给我们归属感，我们属于的群体的一部分，我们不是一个人;社群给了我们扩大我们的视野的力量。

　　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.

　　这就是为什么这几十年来各类团体的会员人数下降了四分之一的事实是多么需要引起注意!现在很多人都需要在别的地方寻找生活的使命。

　　But I know we can rebuild our communities and start new ones because many of you already are.

　　但是，我知道我们可以重建我们的社群，因为你们中许多人已经开始行动了。

　　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.

　　我遇到了今天毕业的Agnes Igoye，(对现场说：你在哪里，Agnes?)她在乌干达的冲突地区度过童年时期，现在她在训练数以千计的执法人员来保持社区的安全。

　　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.

　　我遇到Kayla和Niha，也是今天毕业，他们发起了一个非营利组织，将患有疾病的人与社区内愿意帮助他们的人联系起来。

　　I met David Razu Aznar, graduating from the Kennedy School today. David, stand up. He’s a former city councilor who successfully led the battle to make Mexico City the first Latin American city to pass marriage equality -- even before San Francisco.

　　我遇到了David Razu Aznar，今天从肯尼迪政治学院毕业(对现场说，David站起来)。他是前墨西哥市的议员，他成功领导了一场运动，使墨西哥城成为第一个通过婚姻平等法案的拉丁美洲城市，甚至比旧金山还早。

　　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.

　　这也是我自己的故事。一个宅在宿舍的学生，有一次连接了一个社群，然后始终维护它，直到有一天我们连接了整个世界。

　　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 biggest opportunities, comes down to this -- your ability to build communities and create a world where every single person has a sense of purpose.

　　改变源于身边。甚至全球性的改变也是源自微小的事物 —— 和我们一样的人。在我们这一代，我们的努力能否连接更多人和事，能否把握我们最大的机遇，都归结于这一点 —— 你是否有能力搭建社群并且创造一个所有人都能有使命感的世界。

　　扎克伯格2017哈佛毕业演讲1_英语新闻

　　Class of 2017, you are graduating into a world that needs purpose. It’s up to you to create it.

　　2017届的校友们，你们毕业于一个无比需求使命感的世界。而怎么创造它由你自己决定。

　　Now, you may be thinking: can I really do this?

　　那么现在，你可能在想：我真的能做到吗?

　　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.

　　还记得我前面提到的我在Boys and Girls Club教授的课程吗?有一天下课后，我正和他们谈论大学，其中一个顶尖的学生举手说道他并不确定他是否可以上大学因为他是没有身份的。他完全不知道，大学会不会批准他入学!

　　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，在他过生日的时候，我带他去吃早餐。我想送给他一个礼物，所以我问他想要什么，然后他开始谈论他看到的正在挣扎于进入大学的学生，“你知道的，我其实就想要一本关于社会正义的书。”

　　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。这本该是个完全可以愤世嫉俗的年轻人。他不知道他所称之为家乡的，他唯一知道的国家，是否会拒绝他上大学的梦想。但他自己并不觉得遗憾。他甚至都没有想到自己。他有更宏大的使命感，他想要带着大家一起前进。

　　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.

　　由于现在所处的情况，我并不能说出他的名字，因为我不想把他置身于危险之中。但是，如果一个不知道自己未来会怎样的高中生都能为推动世界做出自己的贡献，那么我们也理应对这个世界做出我们的贡献。

　　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. It goes:

　　在你们最后一次走出这些校门之前，当我们坐在这纪念教堂前的时候，我想起了一段祈祷，Mi Shebeirach，每当我面对挑战时我都会说的，每当我把女儿放进婴儿床里想象着她的未来都会唱到的：

　　"May the source of strength, who blessed the ones before us, help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing."

　　“愿力量之源祝福我眼前的人，帮助我们找到勇气，让生命成为一个祝福。”

　　I hope you find the courage to make your life a blessing.

　　我希望你们也可以找到属于自己的勇气，使你们的生命成为一个祝福。

　　Congratulations, Class of ’17! Good luck out there.

　　恭喜你们，2017届的同学们!祝你们好运!
