As a believer in the concept of Inception,

I do feel some responsibility to try and say something to you that you would carry forward and might help you in some way.

So I thought back to the world of my graduation,
于是我回想起我畢業時的世界，
when Emma and I were was sitting there 20 odd years ago.

And I thought about what were the problems of the world, what were the terrible things we faced.
我在思考這個世界的問題是什么，我們面臨著什么可怕的事情。
Racism, income inequality, warfare... I could go on but you know this list.
種族主義、收入不平等、戰爭...我可以繼續說下去，但你們也清楚。
And the reason you know it is, it's exactly the same today.
而你們知道的原因，是因為在今天也是如出一轍的。

And the truth is I think we've... we failed to address a lot of the fundamentals.

Possibly for a good reason, and that that reason is I think we went out into the world,

if we could allow the free exchange of ideas across geographical boundaries, economic boundaries,
如果我們能夠允許思想的自由交流沖破地理邊界、經濟邊界，
if we could all talk, these problems would go away.
如果我們都能交流一下，這些問題就會消失。
And unfortunately, I think by now we have to acknowledge that we were wrong,

well, that's not the case, the communication is not everything.
情況不是這樣的，溝通不是一切。
