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.
【译文】 司马牛忧伤地说:“别人都有兄弟,唯独我没有。”子夏说:“我听说过:‘死生有命,富贵在天’。君子敬业而不犯错误,对人恭敬而有礼。四海之内,皆兄弟。君子担心什么没有兄弟?”
