國際知名大導(dǎo)演史蒂文·斯皮爾伯格近日在哈佛大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上發(fā)表了題為《傾聽內(nèi)心低語》的精彩演講，博古通今將電影制作和靈感做了深刻而風(fēng)趣的解說。

史蒂文·斯皮爾伯格是一名富有傳奇色彩的好萊塢導(dǎo)演，其代表作有家喻戶曉的《大白鯊》，《E.T，》，《侏羅紀(jì)公園》，《辛德勒名單》等。2013年《時(shí)代》雜志將其列入世紀(jì)百大人物之一。斯皮爾伯格的演講以自嘲開場(chǎng)——這位今年已70歲的大導(dǎo)演說，自己直到2002年（已56歲）才大學(xué)畢業(yè)，因?yàn)槟贻p時(shí)在大學(xué)期間早早就確信了自己想要做的事，所以就輟學(xué)了。后來，因?yàn)樗偸菍?duì)自己的7個(gè)孩子強(qiáng)調(diào)大學(xué)教育的重要性，但自己卻沒有身體力行，所以決定在五十多歲時(shí)重返大學(xué)獲得了學(xué)位。

以下為演講視頻和雙語全文：

Thank you, thank you, President Faust, and Paul Choi, thank you so much.
非常感謝Faust校長、Paul Choi校長，謝謝你們。

It’s an honor and a thrill to address this group of distinguished alumni and supportive friends and cavelling parents. We’ve all gathered to share in the joy of this day, so please join me in congratulating Harvard’s Class of 2016.
我懷著無比榮譽(yù)和興奮的心情在這群杰出校友和支持我的朋友以及我的父母面前演講。我們都聚集在一起，分享這一天的歡樂，所以請(qǐng)和我一起祝賀2016的哈佛典禮。

I can remember my own college graduation, which is easy, since it was only 14 years ago. How many of you took 37 years to graduate? Because, like most of you, I began college in my teens, but sophomore year, I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios, so I dropped out. I told my parents if my movie career didn’t go well, I’d re-enroll.
我記得我自己的大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮，這不難，因?yàn)榫褪?4年以前的事情。你們當(dāng)中的多少人花了37年才畢業(yè)？因?yàn)榫拖衲銈冎械亩鄶?shù)人，我在十幾歲時(shí)進(jìn)入大學(xué)，但是大二的時(shí)候我從環(huán)球影城獲得了我的夢(mèng)想工作，所以我休學(xué)了。我跟我的父母說，如果我的電影事業(yè)不順，我會(huì)重新上學(xué)的。

It went all right.
我的電影事業(yè)發(fā)展得還行。（同學(xué)們大笑了～）

But eventually, I returned for one big reason. Most people go to college for an education, and some go for their parents, but I went for my kids. I’m the father of seven, and I kept insisting on the importance of going to college, but I hadn’t walked the walk. So, in my fifties, I re-enrolled at Cal State — Long Beach, and I earned my degree.
但是我最后還是回到了學(xué)校，主要為了一個(gè)原因。很多人為了獲得教育去上大學(xué)，有的人為了父母上大學(xué)，而我是為了我的孩子去上的。我是7個(gè)孩子的爸爸，我總是不斷強(qiáng)調(diào)上大學(xué)的重要性，可我自己都沒上過。所以在我50多歲的時(shí)候，我重新進(jìn)入加州州立大學(xué)長灘分校，獲得了學(xué)位。

I just have to add: It helped that they gave me course credit in paleontology for the work I did on Jurassic Park. That’s three units for Jurassic Park, thank you.
我必須補(bǔ)充一點(diǎn)，我獲得學(xué)位的一個(gè)原因是學(xué)校為我在《侏羅紀(jì)公園》里所做的給我了考古學(xué)學(xué)分。《侏羅紀(jì)公園》換得了3個(gè)學(xué)分，非常感謝。（同學(xué)們又大笑了～）

Well I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and some of you know, too — but some of you don’t. Or maybe you thought you knew but are now questioning that choice. Maybe you’re sitting there trying to figure out how to tell your parents that you want to be a doctor and not a comedy writer.
我離開大學(xué)是因?yàn)槲液芮宄刂牢蚁胍鍪裁础Ｄ銈冎械囊恍┤艘仓溃怯行┤诉€沒弄明白。或者你以為你知道，但是現(xiàn)在開始質(zhì)疑這個(gè)決定。或者你坐在這里，試著想要怎么告訴你的父母，你想要成為一名醫(yī)生，而不是喜劇編劇。（同學(xué)們又大笑了～）

Well, what you choose to do next is what we call in the movies the ‘character-defining moment.’ Now, these are moments you’re very familiar with, like in the last Star Wars: The Force Awakens, when Rey realizes the force is with her. Or Indiana Jones choosing mission over fear by jumping over a pile of snakes.
你接下來要做的事情，在我們這行叫做“定義角色的時(shí)刻”。這些是你非常熟悉的場(chǎng)景，例如在最近的一部《星球大戰(zhàn)：原力覺醒》里女主角Rey發(fā)現(xiàn)自己擁有原力的一刻。或者在《奪寶奇兵》里印第安納·瓊斯選擇戰(zhàn)勝恐懼跳過蛇堆，繼續(xù)任務(wù)的時(shí)候。

Now in a two-hour movie, you get a handful of character-defining moments, but in real life, you face them every day. Life is one strong, long string of character-defining moments. And I was lucky that at 18 I knew what I exactly wanted to do. But I didn’t know who I was. How could I? And how could any of us? Because for the first 25 years of our lives, we are trained to listen to voices that are not our own. Parents and professors fill our heads with wisdom and information, and then employers and mentors take their place and explain how this world really works.
一部兩小時(shí)的電影里有幾個(gè)定義角色的時(shí)刻，但是在真實(shí)的生活中，你每天都在面對(duì)這樣的時(shí)刻。生活就是一長串強(qiáng)大的定義角色的時(shí)刻。我非常幸運(yùn)在18歲時(shí)就知道我想要做什么。但是我并不知道我是誰。我怎么可能知道呢？我們中任何人都不知道。因?yàn)樵谏念^一個(gè)25年里，我們被訓(xùn)練去傾聽除自己以外的人的聲音。父母和教授們把智慧和信息塞進(jìn)我們的腦袋，然后換上雇主和導(dǎo)師來向我們解釋這個(gè)世界到底是怎么一回事。

And usually these voices of authority make sense, but sometimes, doubt starts to creep into our heads and into our hearts. And even when we think, ‘that’s not quite how I see the world,’ it’s kind of easier to just to nod in agreement and go along, and for a while, I let that going along define my character. Because I was repressing my own point of view, because like in that Nilsson song, ‘Everybody was talkin’ at me, so I couldn’t hear the echoes of my mind.’
通常這些權(quán)威人物的聲音是有道理的，但是有些時(shí)候，質(zhì)疑會(huì)爬進(jìn)你的腦子和心里。就算我們覺得“這好像不太是我看世界的方式”，點(diǎn)頭表示贊同也是更容易做的事情，有段時(shí)間我就讓“附和”定義了我。因?yàn)槲覊阂至俗约旱南敕ǎ驗(yàn)榫拖衲釥柹枥锍囊粯樱骸懊總€(gè)人都在對(duì)我說話，所以我聽不見我思考的回聲。”

And at first, the internal voice I needed to listen to was hardly audible, and it was hardly noticeable — kind of like me in high school. But then I started paying more attention, and my intuition kicked in.
一開始，我需要傾聽的內(nèi)心的聲音幾乎一聲不響，也難以察覺——就像高中時(shí)的我。但是之后我開始更加注意這些聲音，然后我的直覺開始工作。

And I want to be clear that your intuition is different from your conscience. They work in tandem, but here’s the distinction: Your conscience shouts, ‘here’s what you should do,’ while your intuition whispers, ‘here’s what you could do.’ Listen to that voice that tells you what you could do. Nothing will define your character more than that.
我想告訴你，你的直覺和你的良心是兩個(gè)不同的事物。它們會(huì)協(xié)力工作，但這是它們的不同：你的良心會(huì)呼喊“你應(yīng)當(dāng)去做這個(gè)”，而你的直覺只會(huì)低語“你是可以這樣做的”。傾聽那個(gè)告訴你你能怎么去做的聲音。沒有什么比這更能定義你的角色的了。

Because once I turned to my intuition, and I tuned into it, certain projects began to pull me into them, and others, I turned away from.
因?yàn)槲乙坏?huì)聽從我的直覺，我就會(huì)全力投入到一些項(xiàng)目中去，而放棄其它。

And up until the 1980s, my movies were mostly, I guess what you could call ‘escapist.’ And I don’t dismiss any of these movies — not even 1941. Not even that one. And many of these early films reflected the values that I cared deeply about, and I still do. But I was in a celluloid bubble, because I’d cut my education short, my worldview was limited to what I could dream up in my head, not what the world could teach me.
直到19世紀(jì)80年代時(shí)，我電影中的大多數(shù)，我猜你們可以稱之為“逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)”。我不會(huì)拒絕任何這些電影的邀約，不只是《1941》。不止那一部，很多早期電影反映了我當(dāng)時(shí)內(nèi)心的價(jià)值觀，如今我仍然在這樣做。但我當(dāng)時(shí)處于自己的電影泡沫中，因?yàn)槲业妮z學(xué)，我受限的世界觀部分來自于我的想象，而不是外界教會(huì)我的。

But then I directed The Color Purple. And this one film opened my eyes to experiences that I never could have imagined, and yet were all too real. This story was filled with deep pain and deeper truths, like when Shug Avery says, ‘Everything wants to be loved.’ My gut, which was my intuition, told me that more people needed to meet these characters and experience these truths. And while making that film, I realized that a movie could also be a mission.
當(dāng)我執(zhí)導(dǎo)《紫色》的時(shí)候，這部電影讓我體驗(yàn)了我從未想象過，卻如此真實(shí)的一些感受。這個(gè)故事充滿了深深的痛苦和更深一步的真理，就像Shug Avery說“任何一個(gè)東西都想被愛著。”我的直覺告訴我，更多的人需要來認(rèn)識(shí)這樣的角色，來體驗(yàn)這樣的真理。在導(dǎo)演這部電影時(shí)，我突然發(fā)現(xiàn)一部電影也可以是一個(gè)使命。

I hope all of you find that sense of mission. Don’t turn away from what’s painful. Examine it. Challenge it.
我希望你們所有人都能找到這樣的使命感。不要避讓讓你痛苦的事情。研究它、挑戰(zhàn)它。

My job is to create a world that lasts two hours. Your job is to create a world that lasts forever. You are the future innovators, motivators, leaders and caretakers.
我的工作是要構(gòu)筑一個(gè)維持兩小時(shí)的世界。你的工作是要建一個(gè)會(huì)一直持續(xù)的世界。你們是未來的創(chuàng)新者、激勵(lì)者、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者和守護(hù)者。

And the way you create a better future is by studying the past. Jurassic Park writer Michael Crichton, who graduated from both this college and this medical school, liked to quote a favorite professor of his who said that if you didn’t know history, you didn’t know anything. You were a leaf that didn’t know it was part of a tree. So history majors: Good choice, you’re in great shape…Not in the job market, but culturally.
你們要研究過去，才能建設(shè)一個(gè)更好的未來。《侏羅紀(jì)公園》的編劇Michael Crichton是從這所大學(xué)的醫(yī)學(xué)院畢業(yè)的。他喜歡引用他最喜歡的一位教授的話，他說如果你不懂得歷史，那么你一無所知。你是一片樹葉，不知道自己只是樹的一部分。所以主修歷史的同學(xué)們，很棒的選擇，你的前景不錯(cuò)…不是說在招聘市場(chǎng)上啊，從文化上來說的話。

The rest of us have to make a little effort. Social media that we’re inundated and swarmed with is about the here and now. But I’ve been fighting and fighting inside my own family to get all my kids to look behind them, to look at what already has happened. Because to understand who they are is to understand who were were, and who their grandparents were, and then, what this country was like when they emigrated here. We are a nation of immigrants — at least for now.
我們剩下的其它人就需要努點(diǎn)力了。淹沒和吞噬我們的社交媒體只關(guān)乎當(dāng)下。但是我自己和家人都不斷嘗試，讓我所有的孩子們能透過這些，去看過去發(fā)生過的事情。因?yàn)橐浪麄兪钦l，就要去理解他們?cè)?jīng)是誰，他們的祖父母是誰，以及當(dāng)他們移民到這個(gè)國家來的時(shí)候，這個(gè)國家到底是什么樣。我們是一個(gè)移民國家——至少現(xiàn)在還是。

So to me, this means we all have to tell our own stories. We have so many stories to tell. Talk to your parents and your grandparents, if you can, and ask them about their stories. And I promise you, like I have promised my kids, you will not be bored.
所以對(duì)我來說，這意味著我們每個(gè)人都有自己的故事可講，有很多故事可講。如果可以的話，和你的父母、祖父母聊聊天，聽聽他們的故事。我保證，就像我向我的孩子保證的一樣，一定收獲頗豐，絕對(duì)不會(huì)無聊。

And that’s why I so often make movies based on real-life events. I look to history not to be didactic, ‘cause that’s just a bonus, but I look because the past is filled with the greatest stories that have ever been told. Heroes and villains are not literary constructs, but they’re at the heart of all history.
這就是為什么我經(jīng)常就會(huì)導(dǎo)演由真實(shí)事件改編的電影。我回顧歷史并不是為了說教，這是額外的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)，我回顧歷史因?yàn)檫^去充滿了那些從來沒被講述出來的偉大故事。英雄和壞人不是文學(xué)塑造出來的，而是在一切歷史的最中心。

And again, this is why it’s so important to listen to your internal whisper. It’s the same one that compelled Abraham Lincoln and Oskar Schindler to make the correct moral choices. In your defining moments, do not let your morals be swayed by convenience or expediency. Sticking to your character requires a lot of courage. And to be courageous, you’re going to need a lot of support.
所以，這就是為什么傾聽你內(nèi)心的低語非常重要。這與驅(qū)使亞伯拉罕·林肯和奧斯卡·辛德勒去做正確的道德選擇的東西是一樣的。在屬于你的“定義角色的時(shí)刻”里，不要讓你的道德被便利或者私利左右。忠于你的角色需要很多的勇氣，變得勇敢，你又需要很多的支持。

And if you’re lucky, you have parents like mine. I consider my mom my lucky charm. And when I was 12 years old, my father handed me a movie camera, the tool that allowed me to make sense of this world. And I am so grateful to him for that. And I am grateful that he’s here at Harvard, sitting right down there.
如果你足夠幸運(yùn)，你會(huì)有像我父母一樣開明的父母。我把母親看做我的幸運(yùn)女神。12歲時(shí)，我父親給了我一個(gè)電影攝像機(jī)，也是因?yàn)橛辛诉@個(gè)，我可以更好地去感知這個(gè)世界，我很感謝我的父親。現(xiàn)在我很感激父親也來到哈佛，坐在這里。

My dad is 99 years old, which means he’s only one year younger than Widener Library. But unlike Widener, he’s had zero cosmetic work. And dad, there’s a lady behind you, also 99, and I’ll introduce you after this is over, okay?
我父親今年99歲了，只比懷德納圖書館（哈佛最大的圖書館今年100年）年輕1歲，但不像這個(gè)圖書館可以翻新，父親已垂垂老矣。另外，父親，在你身后有一位99歲的女士，這個(gè)之后我會(huì)介紹你給她，好嗎？

But look, if your family’s not always available, there’s backup. Near the end of It’s a Wonderful Life — you remember that movie, It’s a Wonderful Life? Clarence the Angel inscribes a book with this: “No man is a failure who has friends.” And I hope you hang on to the friendships you’ve made here at Harvard. And among your friends, I hope you find someone you want to share your life with. I imagine some of you in this yard may be a tad cynical, but I want to be unapologetically sentimental. I spoke about the importance of intuition and how there’s no greater voice to follow. That is, until you meet the love of your life. And this is what happened when I met and married Kate, and that became the greatest character-defining moment of my life.
但是，如果你的家人并不總是支持你，還有B計(jì)劃。在《生活多美好》劇終前，天使Clarence在一本書上題寫了這句話：“有朋友的人，不會(huì)是生活的失敗者。”我希望你們會(huì)珍惜在哈佛建立的這些友誼。而在你的朋友之中，我希望你們找個(gè)能分享你生活的另一半。我猜想你們中的一些人對(duì)此會(huì)會(huì)抱有懷疑，但是我表現(xiàn)出的感性毫無歉意。我說了直覺的重要性，以及除了直覺沒有更值得追隨的聲音。這是指在你遇到你一生最愛之前。我與妻子相戀并結(jié)婚的經(jīng)歷就是如此，這成為了我生活中最重要的“定義角色的時(shí)刻”。

Love, support, courage, intuition. All of these things are in your hero’s quiver, but still, a hero needs one more thing: A hero needs a villain to vanquish. And you’re all in luck. This world is full of monsters. And there’s racism, homophobia, ethnic hatred, class hatred, there’s political hatred, and there’s religious hatred.
愛、支持、勇氣、直覺。所有的這些都在你英雄的箭袋之中，但是英雄還需要一件東西——英雄需要一個(gè)去征服的壞人。而你們所有人都很走運(yùn)，這個(gè)世界充滿了怪物。有種族歧視、恐同、種族仇恨、階級(jí)仇恨，還有政治仇恨和宗教仇恨。

As a kid, I was bullied — for being Jewish. This was upsetting, but compared to what my parents and grandparents had faced, it felt tame. Because we truly believed that anti-Semitism was fading. And we were wrong. Over the last two years, nearly 20,000 Jews have left Europe to find higher ground. And earlier this year, I was at the Israeli embassy when President Obama stated the sad truth. He said: ‘We must confront the reality that around the world, anti-Semitism is on the rise. We cannot deny it.’
還是孩子的時(shí)候，我因?yàn)槭仟q太人而被欺負(fù)。這讓人喪氣，但是與我父母和祖父母曾經(jīng)面對(duì)的事情比起來，這很平淡。我們都真正相信反猶太運(yùn)動(dòng)正在衰退，但我們錯(cuò)了。在過去兩年間，有大約兩萬猶太人離開歐洲尋找生存之地。今年早些時(shí)候，我在以色列大使館聽奧巴馬總統(tǒng)陳述了一個(gè)悲慘的現(xiàn)實(shí)。他說：“反猶太運(yùn)動(dòng)的增勢(shì)發(fā)生在全球各地，這是我們需要面對(duì)的事實(shí)。我們不能否認(rèn)它。”

My own desire to confront that reality compelled me to start, in 1994, the Shoah Foundation. And since then, we’ve spoken to over 53,000 Holocaust survivors and witnesses in 63 countries and taken all their video testimonies. And we’re now gathering testimonies from genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia, Armenia and Nanking. Because we must never forget that the inconceivable doesn’t happen — it happens frequently. Atrocities are happening right now. And so we wonder not just, ‘When will this hatred end?’ but, ‘How did it begin?’
我正視這一事實(shí)的強(qiáng)烈愿望驅(qū)使我從1994年成立了大屠殺真相基金會(huì)，從那以后我們采訪了63個(gè)國家5.3萬名大屠殺的幸存者或目擊者，錄制了他們所有人的證詞。現(xiàn)在我們還在收集盧旺達(dá)、柬埔寨、亞美尼亞以及南京大屠殺的證詞。因?yàn)槲覀冇肋h(yuǎn)都不要忘記那些難以想象的罪惡會(huì)發(fā)生，并且時(shí)有發(fā)生。暴行也仍在發(fā)生。所以我們不能只去想“仇恨什么時(shí)候才會(huì)停止？”而是“它是怎么開始的？”。

Now, I don’t have to tell a crowd of Red Sox fans that we are wired for tribalism. But beyond rooting for the home team, tribalism has a much darker side. Instinctively and maybe even genetically, we divide the world into ‘us’ and ‘them.’ So the burning question must be: How do all of us together find the ‘we?’ How do we do that? There’s still so much work to be done, and sometimes I feel the work hasn’t even begun. And it’s not just anti-Semitism that’s surging — Islamophobia’s on the rise, too. Because there’s no difference between anyone who is discriminated against, whether it’s the Muslims, or the Jews, or minorities on the border states, or the LGBT community — it is all big one hate.
我想我并不需要向一群紅襪隊(duì)的球迷解釋我們?yōu)槭裁磿?huì)擁抱部落文化。但是在為主隊(duì)加油之外，部落文化有它更陰暗的一面。本能地或者由基因決定，我們把世界分成“我們”和“他們”。所以棘手的問題是，我們所有人能共同發(fā)現(xiàn)“我們”？我們應(yīng)當(dāng)如何去做？仍舊有許多的工作要做，有的時(shí)候我甚至覺得這一事業(yè)還沒開始。這不僅僅是指反猶太運(yùn)動(dòng)抬頭，伊斯蘭恐懼癥也在抬頭。因?yàn)槟切┍黄缫暤娜巳褐g是沒有區(qū)別的，不管他們是穆斯林、猶太人、邊境州里的弱勢(shì)人群，或者是同性戀、雙性戀及變性者社群——他們?cè)馐艿亩际峭瑯拥某鸷蕖?/p>

And to me, and, I think, to all of you, the only answer to more hate is more humanity. We gotta repair — we have to replace fear with curiosity. ‘Us’ and ‘them’ — we’ll find the ‘we’ by connecting with each other. And by believing that we’re members of the same tribe. And by feeling empathy for every soul — even Yalies.
對(duì)我來說，我想對(duì)你們也一樣，只能用更多的人性來對(duì)抗更多的仇恨。我們需要修護(hù)，用好奇來替代恐懼。不排斥異己，我們通過建立人與人的聯(lián)系來找到共同的“我們”。我們要相信我們是同一個(gè)部落的成員。我們對(duì)所有的人都要有同情心——哪怕對(duì)“友校”耶魯人也要如此。

My son graduated from Yale, thank you …
我的兒子就是從耶魯畢業(yè)的，謝謝你…

But make sure this empathy isn’t just something that you feel. Make it something you act upon. That means vote. Peaceably protest. Speak up for those who can’t and speak up for those who may be shouting but aren’t being hard. Let your conscience shout as loud as it wants if you’re using it in the service of others.
但是你要確認(rèn)你的同理心不只是你的感受。讓它是你采取行動(dòng)的誘因。這是指參加投票、和平地抗議、為那些不能為自己發(fā)聲或者已經(jīng)聲嘶力竭卻無法讓人注意的人發(fā)聲。讓你的良心大聲疾呼吧，如果是為了服務(wù)于他們。

And as an example of action in service of others, you need to look no further than this Hollywood-worthy backdrop of Memorial Church. Its south wall bears the names of Harvard alumni — like President Faust has already mentioned — students and faculty members, who gave their lives in World War II. All told, 697 souls, who once tread the ground where stand now, were lost. And at a service in this church in late 1945, Harvard President James Conant — which President Faust also mentioned — honored the brave and called upon the community to ‘reflect the radiance of their deeds.’
作為為他人服務(wù)的行動(dòng)榜樣，你只需要看看這像好萊塢背景一般的紀(jì)念教堂。它的南墻上是哈佛校友們的名字，福斯特校長已經(jīng)說過，他們是在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)中獻(xiàn)身的哈佛學(xué)生和教師們。697個(gè)人，他們?cè)?jīng)在你站著的地方逗留過，697條生命逝去。在1945年紀(jì)念教堂舉行的追思會(huì)上，柯南特校長紀(jì)念這些勇敢的人們，并號(hào)召哈佛人身上要“反射出他們壯舉的榮光”。

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，這句話仍然適用。因?yàn)樗麄兯龀龅臓奚皇且淮司湍軋?bào)答的。每一代人都應(yīng)該報(bào)答他們。就像我們永遠(yuǎn)不該忘記那些惡行，我們永遠(yuǎn)也不應(yīng)當(dāng)忘記那些為自由而戰(zhàn)的人。所以當(dāng)你離開這所學(xué)校進(jìn)入世界，請(qǐng)繼續(xù)“反射出他們壯舉的榮光”，或者像《拯救大兵瑞恩》里米勒上尉說的“別辜負(fù)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.
此外，請(qǐng)保持彼此的聯(lián)系，別避而不見。這可能不是你想從一個(gè)創(chuàng)作媒體的人這里聽的一課，但是我們花越來越多的時(shí)間低頭看手機(jī)，而不是注視別人的眼睛。所以請(qǐng)?jiān)徫遥F(xiàn)在所有人，請(qǐng)找一雙眼睛深刻凝視。學(xué)生們、校友們都是，福斯特校長、你們所有人，轉(zhuǎn)向一位你不認(rèn)識(shí)或者不熟悉的人，對(duì)視，僅此而已。你所感受到的使我們共同擁有的人性，混進(jìn)去了一絲社交不適感。

But, if you remember nothing else from today, I hope you remember this moment of human connection. And I hope you all had a lot of that over the past four years. Because today you start down the path of becoming the generation on which the next generation stands. And I’ve imagined many possible futures in my films, but you will determine the actual future. And I hope that it’s filled with justice and peace.
如果你今天別的什么都沒記住，我希望你能記住這一刻人與人之間的聯(lián)系。我希望過去四年中，你們經(jīng)歷了很多的這樣的時(shí)刻。因?yàn)閺慕裉扉_始，你們會(huì)像前輩一樣，托舉起下一輩人。我在我的電影里幻想過很多種不同的未來，但是你們會(huì)決定未來的實(shí)際樣子。我希望，這樣的未來充滿公正與和平。

And finally, I wish you all a true, Hollywood-style happy ending. I hope you outrun the T. rex, catch the criminal and for your parents’ sake, maybe every now and then, just like E.T.: Go home. Thank you.
最后，我祝愿大家好萊塢式的大團(tuán)圓結(jié)局成真。祝你們能跑過暴龍、抓住罪犯，為了你們的父母，也別忘了像E.T.那樣常回家看看。謝謝。
