    如果你们不仅能认同有权势的人,而且也能帮扶无权势的人;

    [00:11.26]if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages,

    如果你会设身处地为没有你这些优势的人着想,

    [00:17.33]then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence,

    [00:27.26]We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already:

    我们不需要用魔法改变世界,我们自己的内心就有这种力量:

    [00:34.19]we have the power to imagine better.

    我们拥有想象力,可以让这个世界变得更美好。

    [00:37.13]I am nearly finished. I have one last hope for you, which is something that I already had at 21.

    他们是我孩子的教父或教母,是我处于困境时可以求助的人,

    是在我用他们的名字给《哈利·波特》中的“食死徒”起名而不会起诉我的人。

    我们在毕业典礼时坐在了一起,因为我们关系亲密,

    [01:02.58]by our shared experience of a time that could never come again,

    因为我们共同分享了那永远都不能重来的时光。

    [01:06.46]and, of course, by the knowledge that we held certain photographic evidence

    当然,也因为假想要是我们中任何人竞选首相,

    [01:11.36]that would be exceptionally valuable if any of us ran for Prime Minister.

    那照片将是极有价值的证明。

    [01:16.42]So today, I wish you nothing better than similar friendships.

    你们还能记得古罗马哲学家塞内加的一句至理名言。我当年没有顺着事业的阶梯向上攀爬,

    [01:34.57]in retreat from career ladders, in search of ancient wisdom:

    转而与他在古典文学的殿堂相遇,他的古老智慧给了我人生的启迪:

    [01:39.58]As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.

    生活就像故事一样,不在于长短,而在于品质,这才是最重要的。

    [01:48.33]I wish you all very good lives. Thank you very much.

    祝愿你们拥有美好的生活。非常感谢大家。
