1、扎克伯格哈佛演讲稿中英优选材料马克扎克伯格2017哈佛毕业演讲美国波士顿时间5月25日，哈佛大学举办了2017届学生毕业典礼。Facebook创始人马克扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）回到母校，做了毕业典礼演讲。英文全文：President Faust, Board of Overseers, faculty, alumni, friends, proud parents, members of the ad board, and graduates of the greatest university in the world,Im honored to be with you t

2、oday because, lets face it, you accomplished something I never could. If I get through this speech, itll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard. Class of 2017, congratulations!Im an unlikely speaker, not just because I dropped out, but because were technically in the same generatio

3、n. We walked this yard less than a decade apart, studied the same ideas and slept through the same Ec10 lectures. We may have taken different paths to get here, especially if you came all the way from the Quad, but today I want to share what Ive learned about our generation and the world were buildi

4、ng together.But first, the last couple of days have brought back a lot of good memories.How many of you remember exactly what you were doing when you got that email telling you that you got into Harvard? I was playing Civilization and I ran downstairs, got my dad, and for some reason, his reaction w

5、as to video me opening the email. That could have been a really sad video. I swear getting into Harvard is still the thing my parents are most proud of me for.What about your first lecture at Harvard? Mine was Computer Science 121 with the incredible Harry Lewis. I was late so I threw on a t-shirt a

6、nd didnt realize until afterwards it was inside out and backwards with my tag sticking out the front. I couldnt figure out why no one would talk to me - except one guy, KX Jin, he just went with it. We ended up doing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook. And that, Class

7、of 2017, is why you should be nice to people.But my best memory from Harvard was meeting Priscilla. I had just launched this prank website Facemash, and the ad board wanted to see me. Everyone thought I was going to get kicked out. My parents came to help me pack. My friends threw me a going away pa

8、rty. As luck would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friend. We met in line for the bathroom in the Pfoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all time romantic lines, I said: Im going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly.Actually, any of you graduatin

9、g can use that line.I didnt end up getting kicked out - I did that to myself. Priscilla and I started dating. And, you know, that movie made it seem like Facemash was so important to creating Facebook. It wasnt. But without Facemash I wouldnt have met Priscilla, and shes the most important person in

10、 my life, so you could say it was the most important thing I built in my time here.Weve all started lifelong friendships here, and some of us even families. Thats why Im so grateful to this place. Thanks, Harvard.Today I want to talk about purpose. But Im not here to give you the standard commenceme

11、nt about finding your purpose. Were millennials. Well try to do that instinctively. Instead, Im here to tell you finding your purpose isnt enough. The challenge for our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose.One of my favorite stories is when John F Kennedy visited the

12、NASA space center, he saw a janitor carrying a broom and he walked over and asked what he was doing. The janitor responded: Mr. President, Im helping put a man on the moon.Purpose is that sense that we are part of something bigger than ourselves, that we are needed, that we have something better ahe

13、ad to work for. Purpose is what creates true happiness.Youre graduating at a time when this is especially important. When our parents graduated, purpose reliably came from your job, your church, your community. But today, technology and automation are eliminating many jobs. Membership in communities

14、 is declining. Many people feel disconnected and depressed, and are trying to fill a void.As Ive traveled around, Ive sat with children in juvenile detention and opioid addicts, who told me their lives could have turned out differently if they just had something to do, an after school program or som

15、ewhere to go. Ive met factory workers who know their old jobs arent coming back and are trying to find their place.To keep our society moving forward, we have a generational challenge - to not only create new jobs, but create a renewed sense of purpose.I remember the night I launched Facebook from m

16、y little dorm in Kirkland House. I went to Nochs with my friend KX. I remember telling him I was excited to connect the Harvard community, but one day someone would connect the whole world.The thing is, it never even occurred to me that someone might be us. We were just college kids. We didnt know anything about that. There were all these big technology companies with resource
