唯一能毁掉一天的就是人。除了那些像春天一样美好的人，人总是幸福的限制者。

"The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself."

爱德华·P·琼斯

The battle to feed all of humanity is over. The battle to feed all humanity in the future has just begun.

为全人类提供食物的战斗已经结束。为未来全人类提供食物的战斗才刚刚开始。

Your smarts will come in handy because you will travel in a land of marvels. We humans -- plodding as we are -- will astonish ourselves. We'll invent ways to generate clean energy and a lot of it. Atom by atom， we'll assemble tiny machines that will enter cell walls and make repairs. This month comes the extraordinary but also inevitable news that we've synthesized life. In the coming years， we'll not only synthesize it， but we'll engineer it to specifications. I believe you'll even see us understand the human brain. Jules Verne， Mark Twain， Galileo， Newton -- all the curious from the ages would have wanted to be alive most of all right now. As a civilization， we will have so many gifts， just as you as individuals have so many individual gifts as you sit before me.

你们的聪明才智必定会派上用场，因为你们将在一片充满奇迹的土地上行进。我们人类，尽管跬步前行，却终将令自己大吃一惊。我们能够想方设法制造清洁能源，也能够一个原子一个原子地组装微型机械，使之穿过细胞壁，然后修复细胞。这个月，有一个异常而不可避免的事情发生了——人类终于合成了生命。在未来几年，我们不仅会合成生命，还会按说明书驱动它们。我相信你们甚至会看到我们理解人类的大脑，儒勒·凡尔纳，马克·吐温，伽利略，牛顿——所有那些充满好奇之心的人都希望能够活到现在。作为文明人，我们会拥有如此之多的天赋，就像是坐在我面前的你们，每一个生命个体都拥有许多独特的天赋。

杰夫·贝索斯

In foreign policy, the currency of trust is more valuable than gold.

To love is to be vulnerable.

爱是变得脆弱。

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

伤口是光进入你内心的地方。

克里斯塔·沃尔夫

如果我们为了一些短期利益而屈从于集权，那么我们最终会走上‘通往奴役之路’。

We shall never prevent the abuse of power if we are not prepared to limit power in a way which occasionally may prevent its use for desirable purposes.
