But how much more are you, Harvard graduates of 2008, likely to touch other peoples lives? 但是，哈佛大学的2008届毕业生们，你们多少人有可能去触及他人的生命？ Your?intelligence, your?capacity?for hard work, the education you have earned and received, 你们的智慧，你们努力工作的能力，以及你们所受到的教育， give you?unique?status, and unique responsibilities. 给予你们独特的地位和责任。 Even your nationality sets you apart. 甚至你们的国籍也让你们与众不同， The great?majority?of you belong to the worlds only remaining superpower. 你们绝大部份人属于这个世界上唯一的超级大国。 The way you vote, the way you live, the way you?protest, the?pressure?you bring to bear on your government, has an?impact?way beyond your borders. 你们表决的方式，你们生活的方式，你们抗议的方式，你们给政府带来的压力，具有超乎寻常的影响力。 That is your?privilege, and your burden. 这是你们的特权，也是你们的责任。 If you choose to use your?status?and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; 如果你选择利用自己的地位和影响，去为那些没有发言权的人发出声音； if you choose to?identify?not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; 如果你选择不仅与强者为伍，还会同情帮扶弱者； if you?retain?the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who?celebrate?your existence, 如果你会设身处地为不如你的人着想，那么你的存在，将不仅是你家人的骄傲， but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped?transform?for the better. 更是无数因为你的帮助而改变命运的成千上万人的骄傲。 We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: 我们不需要改变世界的魔法，我们自己的内心就有这种力量： we have the power to imagine better. 那就是我们一直在梦想，让这个世界变得更美好。 I am nearly finished. 我的演讲要接近尾声了。 I have one last hope for you, which is something that I already had at 21. 对你们，我有最后一个希望，也是我21岁时就有的。 The friends with whom I sat on graduation day have been my friends for life. 毕业那天坐在我身边的朋友现在是我终身的挚交， They are my childrens godparents, the people to whom Ive been able to turn in times of trouble, friends who have been kind enough not to?sue?me when Ive used their names for Death Eaters. 他们是我孩子的教父母，是在我遇到麻烦时愿意伸出援手，在我用他们的名字给哈利波特中的“食死徒”起名而不会起诉我的朋友。 At our graduation we were bound by?enormou
