比尔盖茨北大演讲稿 比尔盖茨北大演讲 Good evening! Thank you, Professor Lin. It’s great to be here today. Beida Peking University has an incredible history and I’m sure that, next year, as you celebrate its 120th anniversary, you will look back on the incredible contributions that you have made to this country. 晚上好，谢谢林教授。很高兴来到这里。北大有着悠久的历史，我相信在明年你们迎来120周年校庆之际，你们将回顾北大为中国做出的卓越贡献。 I’ve been coming to China since the early 1990s, initially for my work at Microsoft. It was ten years ago, that I was privileged to be named an honorary trustee here at Beida. I remember what a great time I had in 2021, when I was here watching the Olympic table tennis semi-finals between China and South Korea. 自上世纪九十年代以来，我曾多次访问中国，最初主要是因为微软的工作。十年前，我有幸成为北大荣誉校董。2021年我在这里度过了难忘的时光，在北大的奥运赛场观中国队与韩国队的乒乓球半决赛。 As I’m sure you remember, China took the gold medal in every category—the men’s singles, the women’s singles, the men’s and women’s team events.

China is on a quest for excellence, a quest not only to improve itself but to contribute to the whole world. 这从某种程度上，展示了中国拥有的超凡潜力。无论是从自身发展，还是对世界的贡献来看，中国都是一个不断追求卓越的国度。 As China’s economy is maturing, it is making bold and difficult decisions on things like energy and pollution. And it is assuming a greater role on critical global issues like climate and development. And this matters now more than ever as the world is navigating a time of change and uncertainty. 随着中国经济走向成熟，中国正在做出大胆而艰难的抉择，以应对能源和环境治理等挑战。中国在气候变化和发展等全球重大议题上，发挥着日益重要的作用。这比以往任何时候都更重要，特别是在这样一个快速变化、且充满不确定因素的时代。 In some rich countries, there is skepticism about globalization.
