德國(guó)總理默克爾英文演講詞：

I am delighted to be here today and would like to tell you about some of my own experiences. This ceremony marks the end of an intensive and probably also hard chapter in your lives. Now the door to a new life is opening. That's exciting and inspiring. The Germany writer, Hermann Hessehas some wonderful words for such a situation in life. I'd like to quote him and then continue in my native language.

Hermann wrote: “In allbeginningdwells a magic force for guarding us and helping us to live.”

These words by Hermann inspired me when I completed my physics degree at the age of 24. That was back in 1978. The world was divided into East and West, and it was in the grips of the Cold War.

I grew up in east Germany in the GDR (German Democratic Republic), the part of my country that was not free at that time, in a dictatorship. People were oppressed and under state surveillance.Political dissidents were persecuted.

The east Germany government was afraid that thepeople would flee to freedom. And that's why it built the Berlin Wall.A wall made of concrete and steel.Anyone caught trying to overcome it was arrested or shot dead.This wall which cut Berlin in half, divided people and divided families. My family was also divided.

My first job after college was as a physicist at the Academy of Sciences in east Berlin. I lived near the Berlin Wall. I walked towards it everyday on my way home from my institute. Behind it, laid west Berlin.Freedom.

And everyday, when I was very close to the wall, I had to turn away at the last minute in order to head towards my apartment. Everyday I had to turn away from freedom at the last minute. I don’t know how often I thought I just couldn’t take it anymore. It was so frustrating. I was not a dissident. I didn't run up and bang against the wall.Nor, however, did I denied its existence for I didn't want to lie to myself.

The Berlin Wall limited my opportunities, it quite, literally, stood in my way. However, there was one thing which this wall couldn't do during all of those years. It couldn't impose limits on my inner thoughts. My personality, my imagination, my dreams and desires, prohibitions or coercion couldn't limit any of that.

Then came 1989, a common desire for freedom unleashed incredible forces throughout Europe. In Portland, in Hungry, at Czechoslovakia,as well as in east Germany, hundreds of thousands of people dared to take to the streets. The People deomonstrated and brought down the Wall. Something which many people, including myself, would not have belive possible become reality. Where there was once only a dark wall, a door suddenly opened. For me, too, the moment had came to walk through that door.

I no longer had to turn away from freedom at the last minute. I was able to cross this borderand venture out into the great wide open.

During these months 30 years ago, I experienced firsthand that nothing has to stay the way it is.This experience, dear graduates, is the first thought I want to share with you today for your future.

Anything that seems to be set in stone or inalterable can, indeed, change. In matters, both large and small, it holds the truth that every change begins in the mind.

My parents' generation discovered this in a most painful way. My father and mother were born in 1926 and 1928. When they were as old as most of you here today, the betrayal of all civilized values that was Shoah and World War II had just ended.

My country Germany had brought unimaginable suffering on Europe and the world.The victors and the defeated could easily have remained irreconcilablefor many years. But instead, Europe overcame centuries-old conflicts. A peaceful order based on common values rather than supposed national strength emerged.

Despite all the discussions and temporary setbacks, I firmly believed that we Europeans have united for the better.And the relationship between Germans and Americans, too, demonstrates how former wartime enemies can become friends.

It wasGeorgeC.Marshall, who gave a crucial contribution to this for the plan he announced at the Commencement ceremonies in 1947, in this very place.

The Trans-Atlantic partnership based on values such, as democracy and human rights, has given us an era of peace and prosperity of benefit to all sides which was lasted for more than 70 years now. And today, it will not be long now before the politicians of my generation are no longer the subject of the exercising leadership program, and at most will be delt with in leadership in history.

Harvard class of 2019, your generation will be faced with the challenges of the 21 century in the coming decades. You are among those will lead us into the future.

Protectionism and trade conflicts jeopardize freeinternational trade, and that's the very foundations of our prosperity.The digital transformation affacts allfacets of our lives.Wars and terrorism lead to displacement and force migration. Climate change poses a threat to our planet’s natural resources.It and the resulting crisis are caused by humans.Therefore, we can and must do everything humanly possible to truly master this challenge to humankind.

It is still possible, however each and everyone of us must play our part. And I say this with a measure of self-criticism, get better.

I will, therefore, to do everything in my power to ensure that Germany, my country, will achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

Changes for the better are possible if we tackle them together. If we want to go it alone, we could not achieve much.

The second thought I want to share with you is, therefore, more than ever, our way of thinking and our actions have to be multilateral rather than unilateral, global rather than national, outward looking rather than isolationist. In short, we have to work together rather than alone.

You dear graduates will have quite different opportunities to do this in future than my generation did. After all, your smart phone probably has considerably more processing power than the copy of an IBM main frame computer manufactured in the Soviet Union, which I was allowed to use for my dissertation in East Germany in 1986.

Today we use artificial intelligence, for example, to search through millions of images for symptoms of diseases in order among other things to better diagnose cancer.

In future, empathetic robots could help doctors and nurses to focus on the individual needs of patients. We cannot predict today which applications will be possible. However, the opportunities it brings are truly breathtaking.

Class of 2019, how we use these opportunities will be largely up to you as graduates.You are the ones who will be involved in deciding how our approach to how we work, communicate, get about indeed our entire way of life will develop.

As Federal Chancellor, I often have to ask myself: am I doing the right thing? Am I doing something because it is right, or simply because it’s possible? That is something you, too, need to keep asking yourself.

And that is the third thought I wish to share with you today.Are we laying down the rules for technology, or is technology dictating how we interact? Do we prioritize people as individuals with a human dignity with all the manifestsor do we see them merely consumers, data sources, objects of surveillance? These are difficult questions.

I have learned that we can find good answers even to difficult questions if we always try to view the world through the eyes of others, if we respect other people's history, traditions, religion and identity, if we hold fast to our inalienable values and act in accordance with them, and if we don't always act on our first impulses, even when there is pressure to make a snap decision. But instead, take a moment to stop, be still, think, pause. Granted that certainly takes courage.

Above all, it calls for truthfulness in our attitudes towards others. And perhaps most importantly, it calls for us to be honest with ourselves.

What better place to begin to do so than here, in this place, where so many young people from all over the world come to learn, research, and discuss the issues of our time under the maxim of truth.

That requires us not to describe lies as truth and truth as lies. It requires us not to accept shortcomings as our normality. Yet, what dear graduates could stop you? What could stop us from doing that?

Once again, the answer is walls. Walls in people's minds, walls of ignorance and narrow-mindedness.

They exist between family members, as well as between groups within the society; between people of different skin colors, nations and religions. I would like us to see break down these walls. Walls that keep preventing us from envisioning of the world in which together we want you to live.

Whether we manage to do that is up to us.That's why my fourth thought, for my dear graduates, to consider is this: nothing can be taken for granted.

Our individual liberties are not given, democracy is not something we can take for granted. Neither is peace, and neither is persperity. But if we break down the walls that hem us in, if we step out into the open and have the courage to embrance new beginnings, everything is possible.

Walls can collapse, dictatorship can disappear. We can hold global warming, we can eradicate starvation, we can eliminate diseases, we can give people ,especially girls, access to education, we can fight the courses of displacement and force migration. We can do all of that.

So let's not stop by asking what isn't possible or focusing on what has always been that way. Let's start by asking what is possible and looking for things that have never been done like that before.

This is exactly what I said to the Bundestag, the German Parliment in 2005, in my first policy statement as newly elected Chancellorof the Federal Republic of Germany and the first woman to hold this office.

And I want to use precisely these words to share with you my fifth thought.

Let us suprise usselves by showing what is possible. Let us suprise ourselves by showing what we are capable of.

In my own life, it was the fall of the Berlin Wall that allowed me almost 30 years ago to step out into the open. A that point, I left my work as the scientist behind me and enter politics. That was an exciting and magical time. Just as your lives will be exciting and magical. But I also experienced moments of doubt and worry. For at that time we all knew what lay behind us, but not what might lie ahead. Perhaps that reflects a little how you, too, are feeling today, admidst all the joy of this occassion.

The sixth thought I also want to share with you is this: the moment when you step out into the open is also a moment a risk taking.

Letting go of the old is part of the new begining. There is no beginning without an end, no day without night, no life without death.

Our whole life consists of the diferences. The space between beginning and ending. It is what lies in between that we call life and experiences.

I believe that time and time again, we need to be prepared to keep bringing in things to an end, in order to feel the magic of new beginning, and to make the most of opportunities.

That's what I learned as a student, as a scientist, and it is what I experience now in politics. And who knows what life will bring after my time as a politician. That, too, is completely open. Only one thing is clear, it will, again, be something different and something new.

That's why I want to leave these wishes with you:

Tear down walls of ignorance and narrow-mindedness, for nothing has to stay as it is.

Take joint action in the interest of the multilateral global world.

Keep asking yourselves:Am I doing something because it is right, or simply because it’s possible?

Don't forget, that freedom is never something that can be taken for granted.

Surprise yourself with what is possible.

Remember that openness always involves risks.Letting go of the old is part of the new begining.

And above all, nothing can be taken for granted. Everything is possible.

以下為演講中文譯文：

謝謝你們!

我想我們開(kāi)始吧。

尊敬的哈佛校長(zhǎng)巴科，聯(lián)盟成員，監(jiān)督委員會(huì)成員，校友會(huì)成員，教職員工，自豪的父母和畢業(yè)生們，今天是歡樂(lè)的日子，是屬于你們的一天，大大祝賀!

今天我很高興來(lái)到這里，并想告訴你們一些我自己的經(jīng)歷。今天也將是你們走向生活挑戰(zhàn)的開(kāi)始?，F(xiàn)在，機(jī)會(huì)的大門正在向你們打開(kāi)。這多么鼓舞人心。

德國(guó)作家赫爾曼·黑塞對(duì)這種情況有一些美妙的描述。我想引用他的話，然后繼續(xù)用我的母語(yǔ)演講。赫爾曼寫(xiě)道：“所有的開(kāi)始都擁有神奇的力量，護(hù)衛(wèi)和幫助我們的生活。”

當(dāng)24歲的我拿到物理學(xué)位的時(shí)候，這首詩(shī)也同樣激勵(lì)過(guò)我。那是1979年，當(dāng)時(shí)世界被分成了東方陣營(yíng)和西方陣營(yíng)，處于冷戰(zhàn)階段。我在東德長(zhǎng)大，一個(gè)按計(jì)劃經(jīng)濟(jì)過(guò)日子的獨(dú)裁國(guó)家。沒(méi)有自由，人們沒(méi)有表達(dá)的權(quán)利，充滿政治迫害。

東德政府害怕人們因追求自由而逃離，于是建造了柏林墻。這是一堵由水泥和鋼筋造的墻。任何試圖翻越它的人，都被抓起來(lái)或者被槍殺。這面墻將柏林分成兩半，將人們和家庭分開(kāi)，其中包括我的家。

我畢業(yè)后的第一份工作，是在東德科學(xué)研究院做物理科研。我住在離柏林墻很近的地方。每天在我上班和回家的路上，我都要經(jīng)過(guò)它。在它另一側(cè)，是擁有自由的西德。

每天，當(dāng)我走到接近柏林墻的時(shí)候，都不得不在最后一分鐘掉頭，走回自己的公寓。這意味著，每天，我都不得不在最后一刻，向墻那一邊的自由轉(zhuǎn)身。那如此地折磨人，我都不知道多少次覺(jué)得再也無(wú)法忍受了。

我不是異見(jiàn)者，也沒(méi)有去沖擊過(guò)那堵墻。但是，我也從來(lái)無(wú)法否認(rèn)那堵墻就在那里。我不想自己欺騙自己。柏林墻限制了我的機(jī)會(huì)，它就真實(shí)地?fù)踉谖业那懊妗?/p>

然而，在那些歲月里，這面墻無(wú)法做到一點(diǎn)。它不能限制我內(nèi)心的想法，我的個(gè)性，我的想象力，我的夢(mèng)想和愿望。禁令和強(qiáng)制不能限制任何這些。

1989年，歐洲被自由的浪潮席卷。從波蘭，到匈牙利，捷克斯洛伐克，還有東德，成千上萬(wàn)的人勇敢地涌向街頭。

人民顯示了自己的力量，推翻了柏林墻!

包括我自己在內(nèi)的許多人，不敢相信的事，成了現(xiàn)實(shí)!一扇門，突然被打開(kāi)了。我也加入人潮，走過(guò)那道門。終于，我再也不用在最后一刻，被迫向自由轉(zhuǎn)身。我可以跨過(guò)邊境線，開(kāi)始擁抱偉大的開(kāi)放!

在30年前的那幾個(gè)月里，我親身經(jīng)歷到，沒(méi)有什么是不可能改變的。親愛(ài)的畢業(yè)生們，這些是今天，我第一個(gè)想跟你們分享的經(jīng)歷。我希望，這能影響到你們對(duì)未來(lái)的選擇。

任何看起來(lái)像石頭一樣一成不變的事務(wù)，都是可以改變的!這個(gè)道理，無(wú)論大事小事，都需要從改變想法開(kāi)始。

可惜，我父母那一代人，卻只能用最痛苦的方式，體會(huì)到這個(gè)道理。我父母分別出生在1926年和1928年。當(dāng)他們跟你們年紀(jì)差不多的時(shí)候，恰好遇到人有背棄美好價(jià)值觀的傾向，第二次世界大戰(zhàn)結(jié)束的年代。

我的國(guó)家，曾經(jīng)的法西斯德國(guó)，給歐洲和全世界，帶來(lái)了難以抹去的災(zāi)難。戰(zhàn)勝和失利的雙方，本很可能多年處于無(wú)法彌補(bǔ)的對(duì)抗中。

然而，實(shí)際上，歐洲卻快速地?cái)[脫了曾經(jīng)彌漫了數(shù)個(gè)世紀(jì)的沖突斗爭(zhēng)。一種基于共同的價(jià)值觀，而不是強(qiáng)大的國(guó)家主義之上的和平秩序，得以建立。

盡管這一路并不缺乏爭(zhēng)議和反復(fù)，但是我深信不疑，我們歐洲人因?yàn)槁?lián)合了起來(lái)，而變得更好更強(qiáng)大。

而美國(guó)和德國(guó)之間的友好關(guān)系也證明，曾經(jīng)的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中的敵人，也可以轉(zhuǎn)變成朋友。喬治·馬歇爾是促成這段歷史的重要人物。而恰好是在這里，1947年(哈佛)的畢業(yè)典禮上，他宣布了這個(gè)計(jì)劃，并為之做出杰出的貢獻(xiàn)。

以民主和人權(quán)等價(jià)值觀為基礎(chǔ)的跨大西洋伙伴關(guān)系，使我們擁有了一個(gè)和平與繁榮的時(shí)代。到現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)持續(xù)了70多年，所有各方都受益。不久之后，我們這一代的政治家將退出歷史舞臺(tái)。

2019屆哈佛畢業(yè)生們，你們這一代人將面對(duì)21世紀(jì)未來(lái)幾十年的挑戰(zhàn)。你們是將我們帶到未來(lái)的一代人。

保護(hù)主義、貿(mào)易沖突，危及國(guó)際自由貿(mào)易，讓我們的繁榮基礎(chǔ)漸漸流失。數(shù)字化信息革命影響著我們生活的方方面面。戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和恐怖主義導(dǎo)致人們流離失所。氣候變化對(duì)我們星球的自然資源構(gòu)成威脅。而人類需要對(duì)這個(gè)危機(jī)以及更多的后果負(fù)責(zé)。

我們能夠而且必須盡一切可能，應(yīng)對(duì)這一挑戰(zhàn)?，F(xiàn)在行動(dòng)還來(lái)得及，但是需要我們每個(gè)人都發(fā)揮作用。而且我覺(jué)得，這個(gè)措施也將在批評(píng)中走向完善。因此，我將盡力行使我的權(quán)利，確保德國(guó)在2050年實(shí)現(xiàn)"氣候中和(即超低碳環(huán)保生活)"。

如果我們一起解決它們，會(huì)有更好的變化。如果我們只想單獨(dú)行動(dòng)，就無(wú)法取得多少成績(jī)。

因此，我想與你們分享的第二個(gè)想法是，我們比以往任何時(shí)候都更需要多邊合作，而不是單邊行動(dòng);需要全球性的，而不是單個(gè)國(guó)家的;要對(duì)外開(kāi)放，而不是走向孤立主義。簡(jiǎn)而言之，我們必須共同努力而不是孤軍奮戰(zhàn)。

親愛(ài)的畢業(yè)生們，你們將來(lái)會(huì)有比我們這一代人更多的機(jī)會(huì)。畢竟，光你們的智能手機(jī)，就可能比蘇聯(lián)制造的IBM主機(jī)電腦的副本，具有更多的應(yīng)用能力。我在1986年的東德，曾經(jīng)在寫(xiě)論文的時(shí)候用到過(guò)(這種老古董電腦)。

例如，今天我們使用人工智能，從數(shù)百萬(wàn)張圖像中搜索到疾病的癥狀，以便用于更好地診斷癌癥(等疾病)。將來(lái)，一個(gè)充滿洞察力的機(jī)器人，就可能幫助醫(yī)生和護(hù)士關(guān)注患者的個(gè)性化需求。

現(xiàn)在，我們還無(wú)法預(yù)測(cè)哪些應(yīng)用程序?qū)⒊蔀榭赡堋５梢钥隙ǖ氖?，它帶?lái)的機(jī)會(huì)將令人嘆為觀止。

2019級(jí)畢業(yè)生們，你們將很大程度地決定我們?cè)谖磥?lái)如何利用這些科技。你們將參與決定未來(lái)的工作方式，通訊，改變?nèi)说恼麄€(gè)生活。

作為德國(guó)總理，我經(jīng)常要問(wèn)自己，我做對(duì)了嗎?我這么做是因?yàn)樗菍?duì)的，還是僅僅因?yàn)榉奖阕龀?這也是你需要問(wèn)自己的問(wèn)題。

這是我今天想與大家分享的第三個(gè)想法。是我們?cè)谥贫萍家?guī)則，還是科技讓我們被牽著鼻子走?我們是否充分優(yōu)先考慮人的尊嚴(yán)，還是只是將大眾當(dāng)成消費(fèi)者、大數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)源，甚至是觀察監(jiān)控對(duì)象?這些都是具有挑戰(zhàn)的問(wèn)題。

我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)是，如果我們習(xí)慣于通過(guò)對(duì)方的視角看問(wèn)題，就可以找到很好的答案。這還包括，我們能尊重他人的歷史、傳統(tǒng)、宗教和身份，堅(jiān)守自己的價(jià)值觀并保持一致，在需要盡快決斷的壓力下也能不沖動(dòng)行事且保持深思熟慮。當(dāng)然，這么做肯定需要勇氣。

重要的是，我們需要對(duì)他人以誠(chéng)相待。也許最重要的，我們首先要能誠(chéng)實(shí)地面對(duì)自己。

還有什么比哈佛更好的地方?在這里，來(lái)自世界各地的年輕人，在追求真理的校訓(xùn)下，學(xué)習(xí)、研究和討論我們這個(gè)時(shí)代面臨的各種問(wèn)題。

這要求我們不要把謊言和事實(shí)顛倒。它要求我們不能把缺陷看做正常。然而，親愛(ài)的畢業(yè)生，有什么可能阻止你們?阻止我們實(shí)現(xiàn)這些?

答案是，墻。人們心中的墻，無(wú)知的墻壁和狹隘的思想。

它們存在于家庭成員之間，以及社會(huì)中不同膚色、民族和宗教的群體之間。墻不斷阻止我們對(duì)世界協(xié)調(diào)合作的設(shè)想。我們是否能做到這一點(diǎn)，取決于我們自己。

這是我希望在座的各位畢業(yè)生思考的第四點(diǎn)，沒(méi)有什么是理所當(dāng)然的。

個(gè)人自由不是從天而降的，民主制度也并非理所當(dāng)然地能一直健康存在。同樣，人類的和平和繁榮都不是必然的。

但是，如果我們打破桎梏自己的墻壁，如果我們擁抱開(kāi)放并有勇氣步入新的開(kāi)始，一切皆有可能。

墻可以倒塌，毒菜可以消失。人類可以控制全球變暖，根除饑餓，消除疾病，讓人們特別是更多的女孩獲得教育的機(jī)會(huì)，對(duì)抗流離失所。這一切我們都可以做到。

所以，讓我們不要再問(wèn)不可能做到什么，或者專注于那種一直以來(lái)的方式。讓我們首先詢問(wèn)能做什么，并去攻克曾經(jīng)無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)那些事。

這恰也是我在2005年，贏得德國(guó)大選后，在議會(huì)發(fā)表第一份政策聲明的想法。我是德意志聯(lián)邦共和國(guó)第一位女性總理。

我想用這些話準(zhǔn)確地與你們分享我的第五個(gè)想法，讓我們超越自我，實(shí)現(xiàn)各種突破，展示我們的能力和力量。

我的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷，是柏林墻的倒塌，讓30多年前的我走向了開(kāi)放和挑戰(zhàn)。我離開(kāi)了科研工作，進(jìn)入政界。那是鼓舞人心和充滿奇跡的年代。正如在座的你們，生活將是令人興奮和神奇的。

但是，也逃避不了懷疑和擔(dān)心的時(shí)刻。那個(gè)時(shí)候，我們都知道過(guò)去發(fā)生了什么，但不知道未來(lái)會(huì)是怎樣。也許這也是今天的你們，在畢業(yè)季的歡樂(lè)之余，擁有的類似感受。

我想與你分享的第六個(gè)想法就是，當(dāng)你走出去的那一刻，也是冒險(xiǎn)開(kāi)始的時(shí)刻。學(xué)會(huì)繼往開(kāi)來(lái)。任何的開(kāi)始都有結(jié)束的時(shí)候，白天始終有黑夜相隨，生命都逃避不了死亡。

我們的一生會(huì)遇到各種不同。開(kāi)始和結(jié)束之間，有著空間。我們稱之為生命和經(jīng)驗(yàn)。我一直相信，我們需要做好準(zhǔn)備，習(xí)慣結(jié)束。因?yàn)檫@是新起點(diǎn)的啟航，這樣能幫助我們充分把握未來(lái)的機(jī)會(huì)。

這是我無(wú)論做學(xué)生，做科研，還是從政后，不斷體會(huì)的道理。誰(shuí)知道在我離任之后，將會(huì)有什么樣的生活。但是，一定也會(huì)是追求新的挑戰(zhàn)的生活。有一件事是很清楚的，將再次是不同的新生活。

這就是為什么我要把這個(gè)希望留給你們，推倒無(wú)知和狹隘的墻，因?yàn)闆](méi)有什么必須保持原樣。

為全球性的多邊利益行動(dòng)。

常常問(wèn)自己：我之所以去做，是因?yàn)檫@事本身是對(duì)的，還是僅僅因?yàn)橛邪盐兆龀伤?

不要忘記，自由也需要捍衛(wèi)。

努力超越自我，給自己帶來(lái)不斷的驚喜。

請(qǐng)記住，開(kāi)放的同時(shí)也帶來(lái)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

告別過(guò)去，是新開(kāi)始的一部分。

最重要的是，沒(méi)有什么可以被視為理所當(dāng)然。一切皆可能發(fā)生。
