   Members of the Harvard Family: Here in the Yard is one of the great collections of intellectual talent in the world.


  哈佛大家庭的成员们,这个院子里在场的人们,你们是全世界最有智力的人类群体之一。
  For what purpose?
  我们可以做些什么?
  There is no question that the faculty 1, the alumni, the students, and the benefactors 2 of Harvard have used their power to improve the lives of people here and around the world. But can we do more? Can Harvard dedicate its intellect to improving the lives of people who will never even hear its name?
  毫无疑问,哈佛的老师、校友、学生以及哈佛的资助者,已经用他们的能力改善了全世界各地人们的生活。但是,我们还能够做更多吗?哈佛的人们能将他们的智慧用来帮助那些甚至从来没有听到过"哈佛"这个名字的人吗?
  Let me make a request of the deans and the professors - the intellectual leaders here at Harvard: As you hire new faculty, award tenure 3, review curriculum, and determine degree requirements, please ask yourselves:
  请允许我向各位院长和教授提出一个请求——你们是哈佛的智力领袖,当你们雇用新的老师、授予终身教职、评估课程、决定学位颁发标准的时候,请问你们自己如下的问题:
  Should our best minds be dedicated 4 to solving our biggest problems?
  我们最优秀的人才是否更加应该致力于解决我们最大的问题?
  Should Harvard encourage its faculty to take on the world's worst inequities? Should Harvard students learn about the depth of global poverty ... the prevalence of world hunger ... the scarcity 5 of clean water ...the girls kept out of school ... the children who die from diseases we can cure?
  哈佛是否应该鼓励它的老师去研究解决世界上最严重的不平等?哈佛的学生是否应了解全球那些极端的贫穷......世界性的饥荒......清洁的水资源的缺乏......无法上学的女童......死于可治愈疾病的儿童?
