作为为他人服务的行动榜样,你只需要看看这像好莱坞背景一般的纪念教堂。它的南墙上是哈佛校友们的名字,福斯特校长已经说过,他们是在第二次世界大战中献身的哈佛学生和教师们。697个人,他们曾经在你站着的地方逗留过,697条生命逝去。在1945年纪念教堂举行的追思会上,柯南特校长纪念这些勇敢的人们,并号召哈佛人身上要“反射出他们壮举的荣光”。
Seventy years later, this message still holds true. Because their sacrifice is not a debt that can be repaid in a single generation. It must be repaid with every generation. Just as we must never forget the atrocities, we must never forget those who fought for freedom. So as you leave this college and head out into the world, continue please to ‘reflect the radiance of their deeds,’ or as Captain Miller in Saving Private Ryan would say, “Earn this.”
70年后,这句话仍然适用。因为他们所做出的牺牲不是一代人就能报答的。每一代人都应该报答他们。就像我们永远不该忘记那些恶行,我们永远也不应当忘记那些为自由而战的人。所以当你离开这所学校进入世界,请继续“反射出他们壮举的荣光”,或者像《拯救大兵瑞恩》里米勒上尉说的“别辜负大家”。
And please stay connected. Please never lose eye contact. This may not be a lesson you want to hear from a person who creates media, but we are spending more time looking down at our devices than we are looking in each other’s eyes. So, forgive me, but let’s start right now. Everyone here, please find someone’s eyes to look into. Students, and alumni and you too, President Faust, all of you, turn to someone you don’t know or don’t know very well. They may be standing behind you, or a couple of rows ahead. Just let your eyes meet. That’s it. That emotion you’re feeling is our shared humanity mixed in with a little social discomfort.
