蘋果 CEO 蒂姆·庫克（Tim Cook）近期受邀來到新奧爾良杜蘭大學，為新一批畢業生髮表畢業致辭。在演講中，庫克鼓勵畢業生通過解決棘手的問題以及勇於試驗解決方案，來建設一個更好的社會。他還特別提到，要關心氣候變化問題，並鼓勵畢業生要傾聽別人的意見，而非貶低另一方，這樣才能做出實際貢獻。
Hello Tulane!
杜蘭的各位好！
Thank you President Fitts, Provost Forman, distinguished faculty, other faculty, and the entire Tulane family, including the workers, ushers, volunteers who prepared this beautiful space.
感謝菲茨校長、福爾曼教務長、尊敬的教職員工和其他教職員工，以及整個杜蘭大家庭，包括為這個美麗場地做準備的員工，接待人員和志願者們。
And I feel duty-bound to also recognize the hard-working bartenders at The Boot.
我還必須要認證The Boot酒吧調酒師們的努力。
Though they're not here with us this morning, I'm sure some of you are reflecting on their contributions as well.
儘管這個早晨他們不在現場，但我相信你們還在回味著他們的功勞。
And just as many of you have New Orleans in your veins, and perhaps your livers, some of us at Apple have New Orleans in our blood as well.
就像你們很多人血管或肝臟裡流淌著的新奧爾良的基因，我們蘋果的一些員工血液裡也有著新奧爾良的基因。
When I was a student at Auburn, the Big Easy was our favorite getaway.
當我還在奧本讀書的時候，奧爾良是我們最大的慰藉。
It's amazing how quickly those 363 miles fly by when you're driving toward a weekend of beignets and beer.
當開車迎接週末的煎餅和啤酒時，363英里的距離開過的如此之快。
And how slowly they go in the opposite direction.
而返程時又顯得如此緩慢。
Apple's own Lisa Jackson is a proud Tulane alum.
蘋果公司的Lisa Jackson是一位令人驕傲的杜蘭校友。
Yes.

She brought the Green Wave all the way to Cupertino where she heads our environment and public policy work.

我們團隊很高興能擁有她的天分和領導力。
OK, enough about us.
好了，不說我們了。
Let's talk about you.
來說說你們吧。
At moments like this, it always humbles me to watch a community come together to teach, mentor, advise, and finally say with one voice, congratulations to the class of 2019!
在這樣的時刻，我總是感到謙遜，能看到這樣一個團體一道進行教育，指導，建議以及最後發出相同的聲音，恭喜2019屆畢業生！
Now there's another very important group: your family and friends.
還有另一個非常重要的群體：你們的家庭和朋友。
The people who, more than anyone else, loved, supported, and even sacrificed greatly to help you reach this moment.
這些人比其他人都要更加愛你們，支持你們，甚至犧牲了很多來幫助你們走到今天。
Let's give them a round of applause.
讓我們為他們獻上掌聲。
This will be my first piece of advice.
這是我的第一個建議。
You might not appreciate until much later in your life how much this moment means to them.
可能很久以後你們才會意識到今天這個時刻對他們來說有多重要。
Or how that bond of obligation, love, and duty between you matters more than anything else.
或者你們之間的義務，愛和責任比任何事情都更重要。
In fact, that's what I really want to talk to you about today.
事實上，這是我今天真正想和你們說的。
In a world where we obsessively document our own lives, most of us don't pay nearly enough attention to what we owe one another.
在這個世界上我們總是過度記錄自己的生活，大多數人並不會把我們對彼此的虧欠放在心上。
Now this isn't just about calling your parents more, although I'm sure they'd be grateful if you did that.
這並不僅僅是多多給父母打電話，儘管我相信他們會因此感到很高興。
It's about recognizing that human civilization began when we realized that we could do more together.
這更是關於認識到人類文明始於我們意識到攜手的重要性。
That the threats and danger outside the flickering firelight got smaller when we got bigger.
只有我們變得強大了，閃爍的火光之外的威脅和危險就會變得更加弱小。
And that we could create more — more prosperity, more beauty, more wisdom, and a better life — when we acknowledge certain shared truths and acted collectively.
我們可以創造出更多——更多的繁榮、美麗、智慧以及更加美好的生活——只要我們承認某些共同的真理並採取集體性行動。
Maybe I'm biased, but I've always thought the South, and the Gulf Coast in particular, have hung on to this wisdom better than most.
可能我有偏見，但我總覺得南方，尤其是墨西哥灣岸區，比其他任何地區都更能堅持這種智慧。
In this part of the country, your neighbors check up on you if they haven't heard from you in a while.
在國內的這個地方，如果你的鄰居一段時間沒有你的消息就會詢問你的情況如何。
Good news travels fast because your victories are their victories too.
好消息傳得很快，因為你的成功也是他們的成功。
And you can't make it through someone's front door before they offer you a home-cooked meal.
在他們用一頓家常菜招待你之前是不可能走出人家家門的。
Maybe you haven't thought about it very much, but these values have informed your Tulane education too.
也許你們還沒有思考太多，但這些價值觀也影響著杜蘭大學的教育方式。
Just look at the motto: not for one's self, but for one's own.
看看這句座右銘：不為自己，更為所愛之人。
You've been fortunate to live, learn, and grow in a city, where human currents blend into something magical and unexpected.

The people of New Orleans use two tools to build this city: the unlikely and the impossible.
新奧爾良的人們用兩種東西建造出了這座城市：出乎意料和絕無可能。
Wherever you go, don't forget the lessons of this place.
不管你們將來去到那裡，不要忘記這個地方教給你們的東西。
Life will always find lots of ways to tell you no, that you can't, that you shouldn't, that you'd be better off if you didn't try.
生活總會通過各種方式告訴你不行，你不能這樣做，你不該那樣做，如果你不嘗試的話會更好。
But New Orleans teaches us there is nothing more beautiful or more worthwhile than trying.
但新奧爾良教會我們沒有比嘗試更美好和更有價值的事情了。
Especially when we do it not in the service of one's self, but one's own.
特別是當我們不是為了自己去嘗試，而是為我們所愛之人去嘗試的時候。
For me, it was that search for greater purpose that brought me to Apple in the first place.

As it turns out, most of you are probably too young to even remember its name.
但如今，在座的各位年輕一代可能都沒聽說過這家公司的名字。
But in 1998, Steve Jobs convinced me to leave Compaq behind to join a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The idea that putting powerful tools in the hands of everyday people helps unleash creativity and move humanity forward.

There's a saying that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
曾有一句話是這樣說的，選擇一份熱愛的工作，接下來的人生中你就不會把它當成工作去對待。
At Apple, I learned that's a total crock.
我發現，在蘋果公司這話就是胡說八道。
You'll work harder than you ever thought possible, but the tools will feel light in your hands.

Thank you.
謝謝你們。
This problem doesn't get any easier based on whose side wins or loses an election.

At the very least, we owe it to each other to try.
