thank you. thank you, president chen, chairmen ren, vice president chi, vice minister wei. we are delighted to be here today with a very large american delegation, including the first lady and our daughter, who is a student at stanford, one of the schools with which beijing university has a relationship. we have six members of the united states congress; the secretary of state; secretary of commerce; the secretary of agriculture; the chairman of our council of economic advisors; senator sasser, our ambassador; the national security advisor and my chief of staff, among others. i say that to illustrate the importance that the united states places on our relationship with china.

i would like to begin by congratulating all of you, the students, the faculty, the administrators, on celebrating the centennial year of your university. gongxi, beida. (applause.)

as i'm sure all of you know, this campus was once home to yenching university which was founded by american missionaries. many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an american architect. thousands of americans students and professors have come here to study and teach. we feel a special kinship with you.

i am, however, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago. in june of 1919, the first president of yenching university, john leighton stuart, was set to deliver the very first commencement address on these very grounds. at the appointed hour, he appeared, but no students appeared. they were all out leading the may 4th movement for china's political and cultural renewal. when i read this, i hoped that when i walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here. and i thank you for being here, very much. (applause.)

over the last 100 years, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students. your graduates are spread throughout china and around the world. you have built the largest university library in all of asia. last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors. and in this anniversary year, more than a million people in china, asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site. at the dawn of a new century, this university is leading china into the future.

i come here today to talk to you, the next generation of china's leaders, about the critical importance to your future of building a strong partnership between china and the united states.

the american people deeply admire china for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and the arts, to science and technology. we remember well our strong partnership in world war ii. now we see china at a moment in history when your glorious past is matched by your present sweeping transformation and the even greater promise of your future.

just three decades ago, china was virtually shut off from the world. now, china is a member of more than 1,000 international organizations -- enterprises that affect everything from air travel to agricultural development. you have opened your nation to trade and investment on a large scale. today, 40,000 young chinese study in the united states, with hundreds of thousands more learning in asia, africa, europe, and latin america.

your social and economic transformation has been even more remarkable, moving from a closed command economic system to a driving, increasingly market-based and driven economy, generating two decades of unprecedented growth, giving people greater freedom to travel within and outside china, to vote in village elections, to own a home, choose a job, attend a better school. as a result you have lifted literally hundreds of millions of people from poverty. per capita income has more than doubled in the last decade. most chinese people are leading lives they could not have imagined just 20 years ago.

of course, these changes have also brought disruptions in settled patterns of life and work, and have imposed enormous strains on your environment. once every urban chinese was guaranteed employment in a state enterprise. now you must compete in a job market. once a chinese worker had only to meet the demands of a central planner in beijing. now the global economy means all must match the quality and creativity of the rest of the world. for those who lack the right training and skills and support, this new world can be daunting.

my dear mr。 and misses， my fellows schoolmates，

good morning！ as you know and see， it is a sunny bump harvest season。 in the city， in our school campus， everywhere is surrounded with roses which we together planted 4 years ago。 today may these roses and our friendship as well be together and comfort our excited hearts！

it was four years ago that everyone of us came from every part of china and formed a new collective。 as we are young， it’s very easy for us to communicate。 it was in the past four years that we were ambitious。 it was in the past four years that we worried。 it was in the past four years that we were content。 it was in the past four years that we were vexed。 it was in the past four years that we were friendly and lonely 。。。 and it was in the past fours that we studied， lived and respected each other with genuine and with our ambitions。 nothing in the world is more significant than we miss all of these。

we miss you─teachers who are tireless in teaching； we will keep your gestures and your white hairs in our hearts deeply； we will miss the quietness with the lights at night in the classroom； we will miss the race and exercise on the playground； we will miss even the crowds in the dining hall and the quarrel on the beds； we will still miss every green piece and every piece of waste paper flying like flakes in the air 。。。 however， today we will leave nothing but the first rose with our alma mater and our teachers which is entrusted with our love and respect。

4 years seems very long but 4 years seems very short。 from now on， we all will go into the society。 the society is broad and wide for us。 we will shoulder heavy responsibilities； we will work diligently； and we will expect to be informed of good news from one another。 now， i beg you all to cherish the occasion； to remember the names， the status， appearance and the character of the person around you。 now let’s be hand in hand together； let’s present the rose to each other。 may the rose carry our appreciation and blessing！ we are very closely linked no matter what the world may be。 may the fresh rose in our hands keep its fragrants！

thank you all again！

学友们：

大家都瞧见了，这是一个阳光灿烂的收获季节。在这座城市，在我们的校园，到处都是玫瑰朵朵，这是4年前我们共同栽培的。今天，就让鲜花和友情聚拢，安抚我们激动不已的心吧！

4年前，大家从天南海北来到这里，组成了一个新的集体。年轻的心是最容易相通的，尽管4年中有追求有失落，有得意有烦恼，有欢乐有忧虑，有友爱有孤寂。。。。。。但我们都曾怀着真诚而美好的初衷去学习、生活、相爱，没有什么比这些更有意义，更令我们怀念。

我们怀念每一位诲人不倦的老师，你们的手势或白发会刻在我们的记忆中；怀念教室里的静夜苦读，运动场上的奔跑跳跃，甚至食堂里的拥挤和高低床上的争论；怀念每一块绿地和每一片风中飘零的废纸。。。。。。今天，我们没有更好的礼物留下，这第一朵玫瑰，就献给我们的母校和老师，她寄托着大家的热爱和敬意！

4年很久，4年也很匆匆。以后的日子，大家又要飞，天高地阔，任重道远，我们将在躬身的劳作中和奉献中等候着彼此的好消息。现在，请珍惜和永远记住这一时刻，记住你左边和右边的任何一个人吧，记住他（她）们的姓名、仪表和特点，请让我们彼此握手，彼此赠佩一朵玫瑰，让她表达我们的感谢和祝福。不管地老天荒，我们彼此息息相关，我们的手指上永远保留着赠人鲜花的芳香！

谢谢大家！

madam president faust， members of the harvard corporation and the board of overseers，faculty， family， friends， and， most importantly， today's graduates，

尊敬的faust校长，哈佛集团的各位成员，监管理事会的各位理事，各位老师，各位家长，各位朋友，以及最重要的各位毕业生同学，

thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you.

感谢你们，让我有机会同你们一起分享这个美妙的日子。

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 and computer 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， "that'snice， 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。在科学中，第一个发现者是重要的，但是在得到公认前，最后一个将这个发现重复做出来的人也许更重要。

second， authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. ralph waldoemerson， who graduated from harvard at the age of 18， noted "all my best thoughts werestolen by the ancients." picasso declared "good artists borrow. great artists steal." why shouldcommencement speakers be held to a higher standard?

其次，一个借鉴他人的作者，正走在一条前人开辟的最佳道路上。哈佛大学毕业生、诗人爱默生曾经写下："古人把我最好的一些思想都偷走了。"画家毕加索宣称"优秀的艺术家借鉴，伟大的艺术家偷窃。"那么为什么毕业典礼的演说者，就不适用同样的标准呢?

i also want to point out the irony of speaking to graduates of an institution that would haverejected me， had i the chutzpah to apply. i am married to "dean jean，" the former dean ofadmissions at stanford. she assures me that she would have rejected me， if given the chance.when i showed her a draft of this speech， she objected strongly to my use of the word"rejected." she never rejected applicants; her letters stated that "we are unable to offer youadmission." i have difficulty understanding the difference. after all， deans of admissions ofhighly selective schools are in reality， "deans of rejection." clearly， i have a lot to learn aboutmarketing.

我还要指出一点，向哈佛毕业生发表演说，对我来说是有讽刺意味的，因为如果当年我斗胆向哈佛大学递交入学申请，一定会被拒绝。我的妻子jean当过斯坦福大学的招生主任，她向我保证，如果当年我申请斯坦福大学，她会拒绝我。我把这篇演讲的草稿给她过目，她强烈反对我使用"拒绝"这个词，她从来不拒绝任何申请者。在拒绝信中，她总是写："我们无法提供你入学机会。"我分不清两者到底有何差别。在我看来，那些大热门学校的招生主任与其称为"准许你入学的主任"，还不如称为"拒绝你入学的主任"。很显然，我需要好好学学怎么来推销自己。

my address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. the firstmovement， just presented， were light-hearted remarks. this next movement consists ofunsolicited advice， which is rarely valued， seldom remembered， never followed. as oscar wildesaid， "the only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. it is never of any use to oneself."so， here comes the advice. first， every time you celebrate an achievement， be thankful tothose who made it possible. thank your parents and friends who supported you， thank yourprofessors who were inspirational， and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. going forward， the ability to teach yourself is thehallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success. to your fellowstudents who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions，hug them. also， of course， thank harvard. should you forget， there's an alumni association toremind you. second， in your future life， cultivate a generous spirit. in all negotiations， don'tbargain for the last， little advantage. leave the change on the table. in your collaborations，always remember that "credit" is not a conserved quantity. in a successful collaboration，everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.

毕业典礼演讲都遵循古典奏鸣曲的结构，我的演讲也不例外。刚才是第一乐章----轻快的闲谈。接下来的第二乐章是送上门的忠告。这样的忠告很少被重视，几乎注定被忘记，永远不会被实践。但是，就像王尔德说的："对于忠告，你所能做的，就是把它送给别人，因为它对你没有任何用处。"所以，下面就是我的忠告。第一，取得成就的时候，不要忘记前人。要感谢你的父母和支持你的朋友，要感谢那些启发过你的教授，尤其要感谢那些上不好课的教授，因为他们迫使你自学。从长远看，自学能力是优秀的文理教育中必不可少的，将成为你成功的关键。你还要去拥抱你的同学，感谢他们同你进行过的许多次彻夜长谈，这为你的教育带来了无法衡量的价值。当然，你还要感谢哈佛大学。不过即使你忘了这一点，校友会也会来提醒你。第二，在你们未来的人生中，做一个慷慨大方的人。在任何谈判中，都把最后一点点利益留给对方。不要把桌上的钱都拿走。在合作中，要牢记荣誉不是一个守恒的量。成功合作的任何一方，都应获得全部荣誉的90%。

we miss you─teachers who are tireless in teaching; we will keep your gestures and your white hairs in our hearts deeply; we will miss the quietness with the lights at night in the classroom; we will miss the race and exercise on the playground; we will miss even the crowds in the dining hall and the quarrel on the beds; we will still miss every green piece and every piece of waste paper flying like flakes in the air ... however, today we will leave nothing but the first rose with our alma mater and our teachers which is entrusted with our love and respect.

4 years seems very long but 4 years seems very short. from now on, we all will go into the society. the society is broad and wide for us. we will shoulder heavy responsibilities; we will work diligently; and we will expect to be informed of good news from one another. now, i beg you all to cherish the occasion; to remember the names, the status, appearance and the character of the person around you. now let’s be hand in hand together; let’s present the rose to each other. may the rose carry our appreciation and blessing! we are very closely linked no matter what the world may be. may the fresh rose in our hands keep its fragrants!
