○  比尔·盖茨夫妇斯坦福大学2014毕业典礼演讲稿（中英文）  ○

　　梅琳达•盖茨：当下，一些人用书呆子这样词语称呼你们，而我们听说你们正为这个称呼而倍感骄傲。(欢呼和掌声)

　　BILL GATES: Well, so do we. (Cheers and Applause).

　　比尔盖茨：嗯，我们与你们同在。(欢呼和掌声)

　　BILL GATES: My normal glasses really aren't all that different. (Laughter).

　　比尔盖茨：我的这副普通眼镜也没多大差异嘛。(笑声)

　　There are so many remarkable things going on here at this campus, but if Melinda and I had to put into one word what we love most about Stanford, it's the optimism.

　　There's an infectious feeling here that innovation can solve almost every problem.That's the belief that drove me in 1975 to leave a college in the suburbs of Boston and go on an endless leave of absence.(Laughter).

　　在这所校园中，每时每刻都有非凡的事件发生，但如果要我和梅琳达用一个词来表达对斯坦福的挚爱，那便是“乐观”。这是一种极富感染力的乐观精神，那便是，所有的问题在创新之下都能迎刃而解。这便是驱使我在1975年离开波士顿郊区的大学，并永远辍学的一个动力。(笑声)

　　I believed that the magic of computers and software would empower people everywhere and make the world much, much better.

　　当时的我相信计算机和软件的魔力能够赋予全世界人民以力量，并能够让这个世界变得更加美好。

　　It's been 40 years since then, and 20 years since Melinda and I were married.We are both more optimistic now than ever. But on our journey, our optimism evolved.

　　据那时算起，已有40年之久，我和梅琳达喜结连理也有20年之远了。这些年间，我们都比过去更为乐观开朗，但是在这些人生之旅中，我们的乐观也实现了进化。

　　We would like to tell you what we learned and talk to you today about how your optimism and ours can do more for more people.When Paul Allen and I started Microsoft, we wanted to bring the power of computers and software to the people, and that was the kind of rhetoric we used.One of the pioneering books in the field had a raised fist on the cover, and it was called "Computer Lib."

　　我们今天很想与大家分享我们所学到的一切，并和你们聊聊我们的和你们的乐观精神怎样为更多的人服务。当初和保罗创立微软之时，我们的目标是把计算机和软件的力量普及到普通大众，这便是我们当时的说法。在早期的一本书上的封面有一个上扬的拳头，他们称之为《计算机解放》。

　　At that time, only big businesses could buy computers.We wanted to offer the same power to regular people
