[00:01.04]The world in which you, in time to come, will take the reins, cannot afford a return to 20th century struggles for hegemony. 即將到來(lái)的時(shí)代是你們掌控的時(shí)代，決不能退回到20世紀(jì)的霸權(quán)爭(zhēng)奪中去。 [00:11.39]The characteristic of this modern world is the pace, scope and scale of change. 如今這個(gè)世界的特點(diǎn)是全球化的速度、范圍和規(guī)模。 [00:20.03]Globalization is driving it and people are driving globalization. 全球化正在推動(dòng)著社會(huì)的變革，而人類正在推動(dòng)著全球化的進(jìn)程。 [00:24.33]The consequence is that the world opens up; its boundaries diminish; we are pushed closer together. 全球化的結(jié)果就是世界的開(kāi)放，國(guó)界的削弱，我們彼此更將緊密相連。 [00:31.34]The conclusion is that we make it work together or not at all. 結(jié)論就是，我們?nèi)绻煌膮f(xié)力爭(zhēng)取成功，就會(huì)毫無(wú)所獲。 [00:38.52]The issues you must wrestle with—the threat of climate change, 如今你們面臨著許多挑戰(zhàn)——?dú)夂蜃兓斐傻耐{、 [00:42.45]food scarcity, and population growth, worldwide terror based on religion, 食品匱乏、人口增長(zhǎng)、基于宗教信仰而引起的全球性恐怖襲擊 [00:48.13]the interdependence of the world economy—my student generation would barely recognize. 以及世界經(jīng)濟(jì)的相互依存等——而我們那一代人幾乎沒(méi)有意識(shí)到這些問(wèn)題。 [00:55.54]But the difference today is they are all essentially global in nature. 如今這些問(wèn)題在本質(zhì)上嗾使全球性的，這也是與以往的不同之處。 [01:01.40]You understand this. Yale has become a melting pot of culture, language and civilization. 你們對(duì)于這一點(diǎn)了然于心。耶魯已經(jīng)成為文化、語(yǔ)言與文明的大熔爐。 [01:09.42]You are the global generation. So be global citizens. 你們這一代人屬于全世界，所以你們要成為世界的公民。 [01:14.55]Each new generation finds the world they enter. But they fashion the world they leave. 新的一代擁有它們所處的世界，并在離開(kāi)時(shí)改變了這個(gè)世界。 [01:22.09]So what do you inherit and what do you pass on? 那么，你們繼承了什么樣的世界，又將給后人留下什么樣的世界呢？ [01:26.53]The history of humankind is marked by great events but written by great people. People like you. 人類歷史由重大事件標(biāo)記，卻由偉大的人類來(lái)譜寫(xiě)。由像你們一樣優(yōu)秀的人類譜寫(xiě)。 [01:37.10]Given Yale's record of achievement, perhaps by you. 或許成就耶魯?shù)闹卮筘?zé)任就落在你們肩上了。
