ment, I worked day and night on this little extra credit project that marked the end of my college education and the beginning of a remarkable journey with Microsoft.
不管怎样,我对哈佛的回忆主要都与充沛的精力和智力活动有关。哈佛的生活令人愉快,也令人感到有压力,有时甚至会感到泄气,但永远充满了挑战性。生活在哈佛是一种吸引人的特殊待遇……虽然我离开得比较早,但是我在这里的经历、在这里结识的朋友以及在这里发展起来的一些想法,永远地改变了我。
What I remember above all about Harvard was being in the midst of so much energy and intelligence. It could be exhilarating, intimidating, sometimes even discouraging, but always challenging. It was an amazing privilege…and though I left early, I was transformed by my years at Harvard, the friendships I made, and the ideas I worked on.
但是,如果现在严肃地回忆起来,我确实有一个真正的遗憾。
But taking a serious look back, I do have one big regret.
我离开哈佛的时候,根本没有意识到这个世界是多么的不公正。人类在健康、财富和机遇上的差异大得惊人,它们使得无数的人们被迫生活在绝望之中。
I left Harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities in the world—the appalling disparities of health, and wealth, and opportunity that condemn millions of people to lives of despair.
我离开校园的时候,根本不知道在这个国家里有许多的年轻人无法获得接受教育的机会。我也不知道发展中国家里有无数的人们生活在无法形容的贫穷和疾病之中。
