你们即将毕业,你们当中许多人致力于把世界变得更美好。但你们当中很多人不相信政治,认为体制带有与生俱来的腐败性,质疑其进步的可能性。但,我得提醒你们:悲观怀疑是一种无法自我实现的预言。如果你认为自己没有机会,那么你就一点机会都不会有。你们说:“但你毕业时不同,上世纪60年代是一个社会进步的时代。”这说明你们不了解自己国家的历史。 You are about to graduate, and many of you are committed to making the world a better place. But many of you do not believe in politics, believing that institutions are inherently corrupt and question the possibility of their progress. But, I must remind you: Pessimistic doubt is a prophecy that can not be realized. If you think you have no chance, then you will not have a chance. You say: “But when you graduated, the 1960s was an era of social progress.” This shows that you do not understand the history of your own country.
