我喜欢人们因为软件而感到激动，那么我们为什么不能够让人们因为能够拯救生命而感到更加激动呢？

　　You can't get people excited unless you can help them see and feel the impact. Way to do that is another complex question.

　　除非你能够让人们看到或者感受到行动的影响力，否则你无法让人们激动。如何做到这一点，并不是一件简单的事。

　　Still, I'm optimistic. Yes, inequity has been with us forever, but the new tools we have to cut through complexity have not been with us forever. They are new—they can help us make the most of our caring—and that's why the future can be different from the past.

　　同前面一样，在这个问题上，我依然是乐观的。不错，人类的不平等有史以来一直存在，但是那些能够化繁为简的新工具，却是最近才出现的。这些新工具可以帮助我们，将人类的同情心发挥最大的作用，那就是将来同过去是不一样的原因。

　　The defining and ongoing innovations of this age—biotechnology, the personal computer and the Internet—give us a chance we've never had before to end extreme poverty and end death from preventable disease.

　　这个时代无时无刻不在涌现出新的革新——生物技术，个人计算机，互联网——它们给了我们一个前所未有的机会，去终结那些极端的贫穷和非恶性疾病的死亡。

　　Sixty years ago, George Marshall came to this commencement and announced a plan to assist the nations of post-war Europe. He said: "I think one difficulty is that the problem is one of such enormous complexity that the very mass of facts presented to the public by press and radio make it exceedingly difficult for the man in the street to reach a clear appraisement of the situation. It is virtually impossible at this distance to grasp at all the real significance of the situation."

　　六十年前，乔治·马歇尔也是在这个地方的毕业典礼上，宣布了一个计划，帮助那些欧洲国家进行战后建设。他说：“我认为，困难的一点是这个问题太复杂，报纸和电台源源不断地向公众提供各种事实，使得大街上的普通人极难清晰地判断形势。事实上，经过层层传播，想要真正地把握形势是根本不可能的。”
