(中文)夏说英文晨读 扎克伯格清华中文演讲

清华是个非常好的大学，这里的学生们正在创造很多重要和创新的东西，你们是未来的科技、商业、及其他行业的领导者。

It’s an honor to be here, Tsinghua is a great school; the community here is working on many innovative and important things; and you are the future leaders in technology, business, government and other fields.

今天我想讨论改变世界的话题。很多人会告诉你怎么创立企业，怎么解决问题。//今天我想关注一个不一样的问题。不是“怎么去创立”，而是“为什么创立“。这就是使命的本职。

Today i want to talk about changing the world. Lots of people can tell you about how to build a business and how to solve problems. //Today i want to focus on a different question. Not “how” but “why” you should build. This is the essence of leading with a mission.

今天我想告诉你三个故事。我第一个故事是相信你的使命，做你认为重要的事。//2004年，我创立了Facebook，因为我觉得能在网上和人连接是非常重要的。//那时候，互联网上有很多网站，你差不多可以找到所有的东西：新闻、音乐、书、电影、买东西，可是没有服务帮我们找到生活上最重要的东西：人。

So today, i want to tell you three stories. The first story is about believing in a mission. It’s about doing something you think is important. //I started facebook in 2004 because i thought it was important to be able to connect with people online. //At the time, i used the internet and there were products to find almost anything i wanted-news, music, books, movies,things to buy-but there was no service to look up the thing that matters most to us-people.

我第二个故事是关于“用心” 如果你有了使命，你不需要有完整的计划，往前走吧!你只需要更多用心。//在哈佛大学的时候，当时我认为，总有一天会有人创造连接世界的产品。

My second story is about caring. If you know your mission, you don’t need to know the entire plan going forward, You just need to care more. //When I was a student at Harvard, we think that one day someone else would build a product that connected the entire world.

有趣的是我没想到我可能会建立这个连接世界的产品。我们只是大学生我们没有计划，我们没有资源。我们是怎么创造出这个拥有十五亿人以上、世界上最大的互联网社区的?我们只是更“用心”。

The interesting thing is i did not even think i might build this product.We were just a college student. We didn’t have a plan , we had no resources.How did we build the biggest community in the world with more than 1.5 billion people? We just cared more.

我第三个故事是关于向前看。马云说过一句话我很喜欢：“和15年前比，我们很大;但和15年后比，我们还是个婴儿。” //为了重要的使命，你了解的更多，你也会觉得要做的事情更多。//十年前，我们的目标是连接十亿人。因为以前没有互联网企业做到过，所以我们觉得这是一个很大的目标。//当我们达到了这个目标，我们开始明白十亿只是一个数字，我们真的目标是连接世界上的每个人。世界上差不多三分之二的人没有互联网。把他们连接起来，我们必须扩大整个互联网。

My third story is about moving forward. Jack Ma has a great quote I often use. “Compared to 15 years ago we’re big. Compared to 15 years from now, we’re still a baby.” //For important missions, the more you learn, the more you find needs to be done. //Ten years ago, our goal was to connect 1 billion people. No internet service had done this and we thought this was a big goal. //As we reached this goal, we started to understand that 1 billion is just a number and our real goal is to connect everyone in the world. This is much harder. Almost two thirds of the world doesn’t even have the internet. To connect them, we have to grow the whole internet.

中国历史是一直创新的。中国给了世界四大发明：造纸，印刷术，指南针和火药。//学习对创新最重要。在清华，你们有很好的学习机会，这些机会会帮助你们有美好的未来。

Chinese history is a story of constant innovation. China gave the world four great inventions: paper, printing, the compass and gunpowder. //Learning is the key to innovation. You all have an amazing opportunity at Tsinghua to learn and reach your full potential.

我的中文很糟糕，但是我还是很喜欢学习中文。你多学习会在生活里创新，也会在工作上创新。//在你开始做之前，不要只问自己怎么做。要问自己：为什么做?你应该相信你的使命。解决重要问题。要用心。不要放弃，要一直向前看。//你们可以成为全球领导者，可以提高人们的生活，可以用互联网影响全世界。

My Chinese isn’t very good, but i still love learning. When you learn, you will innovate in your own life and you will innovate in your business. //You will be able to innovate in anything you do. But before you start anything,don’t just ask yourself how you’re going to do. Ask: why? You should believe your mission. Solve important problems. Care deeply about them. Don’t give up.And always look ahead. //You will be global leaders. You can make life better for people in china and around the world. And you can use the internet to reach billions of people.

要做到这个，我们要解决很多的问题。超过十亿人不住在网络附近。所以我们需要创造新的技术——像卫星和飞机，把他们连接起来。//超过十亿人没有钱上互联网，所以我们需要让互联网更便宜。//大约二十亿的人没有用过电脑或互联网，所以我们需要创造新的方案，帮助他们连接起来。//我们坚信，必须向前看，虽然还不知道整个计划，但是如果帮助人们，未来，我们也会获益。

To do this, we need to solve many problems. More than one billion people don’t live near networks, so we need to invent new technology - like satellites and planes - to connect them. //More than one billion people don’t have enough money to pay for internet, so we need to make it cheaper. //And about two billion people have just never used a computer or the internet before, so we need to build new programs to help them connect for the first time. //We must always look ahead, and even if we don’t know the whole plan now, if we help people, then in the future we will benefit too.

我非常兴奋今天在这里可以和清华学生，和线上的朋友交流。多谢大家给我这个机会。让我们一起来连接世界。

I’m very excited to have this opportunity to speak to the Tsinghua community and to everyone watching on livestream. Thank you for giving me the chance to speak. Let’s come together to connect the world.
