篇4：校长论坛校长论道

当前，我国高等教育信息化已经进入深度融合阶段，由管理信息化发展为教育教学全面信息化，信息技术与教育教学的关系从组合、整合演进到融合创新，基于信息技术解构、优化、重组教育教学业务的新型教育模式——信息化教育形态已经开始显现。信息化与教育教学、信息化与学校发展的关联关系已经越来越紧密，高等教育信息化的后续发展不仅仅是技术层面的事情，已经上升到学校的发展战略，因此迫切需要高校领导的参与、支持和指导，需要高校CIO体制的健全与完善。

教育信息化分会作为中国高等教育学会专注于教育信息化的分支机构，以推动和促进全国高等学校教育信息化作为分会使命，以研究中国高校教育信息化的规律与战略性问题，加强高校间合作与交流，促进高等学校教育信息化的建设和发展为办会宗旨。近年来，顺应高等教育信息化的发展规律，教育信息化分会与教学研究分会、实验室管理分会和中国教育后勤协会信息化专委会合作，分别成立了教学信息化推进组、实验室信息化推进组和后勤信息化推进组，大力推动信息技术与教育教学业务的深度融合。

最近一个时期，在线教育风起云涌，“互联网+”风云激荡，“互联网+教育”更是云山雾罩。为廓清变革时期笼罩在教育信息化头顶的迷雾，主动迎接“互联网+”时代教育变革的挑战，大力推进信息技术与教育教学、创新创业的融合发展，提高高等教育质量，以教育信息化推动教育现代化，教育信息化分会决定提请中国高等教育学会主办首届“高等教育信息化校长高峰论坛”，并与会员高校北京联合大学一起来承办。我们希望本次论坛能够搭建高校信息化工作决策层的交流平台，汇聚对于教育信息化具有真知灼见的高校领导，同台论道，共同探讨我国高等教育信息化的发展方向，以推动我国高校信息化工作的快速、协调、可持续发展。

本次论坛主题定为“融合·创新·引领——高等教育教学变革之路”，是因为我们深刻地认识到：推进信息技术与高等教育的深度融合，促进教育内容、教学手段和方法现代化，是高校信息化当前阶段的重点任务；应用信息技术革新教育教学模式，改变传统的教与学行为方式，创新人才培养模式，是高等教育现代化的必然选择；利用信息化促进学校组织创新，引领学校管理体系、教育模式和运行机制的全面变革，是高校信息化的历史使命。

为此，我们设计了一个主论坛加三个平行论坛：主论坛请校长们从学校信息化发展战略的高度阐述当前阶段高校信息化的发展方向与重点任务；平行论坛分为三个主题——信息技术与教育教学融合创新、信息化引领管理服务模式创新、高校IT治理与体制机制创新，在三个关键方面展开小范围深度交流，通过思想交锋、观念碰撞形成高等教育信息化下一步发展思路的共识。一整天的论坛研讨，热烈气氛超过预期，会议收获丰硕成果。

在主论坛上，教育部科技司张拥军处长的讲话除了充分肯定校长论坛对于教育信息化的重要意义，还明确提出了“要利用信息技术来促进教育教学改革，促进办学方式的变革，从培养什么样的人、怎么培养人出发，进一步深化我们高等教育信息化的发展”的要求，为高等教育信息化的下一步发展指明了方向。中国高等教育学会瞿振元会长在讲话中指出，信息技术对今天的高等学校是必不可少的、不可或缺的生存条件，是学校发展的宝贵资源，也可能发展成学校有机体的神经系统；要贯穿以生为本、以学习为中心的核心理念，协同推进建、用、管。

北京大学副校长王杰做“北京大学信息化建设与IT治理”主题演讲，他指出，信息化对学校战略发展至关重要，既是大学必须应对的挑战，也带来了前所未有的历史发展机遇和创造空间。他阐述了IT治理在学校信息化建设中的重要作用，分享了北京大学在IT治理方面的思路、探索和建设情况，强调依据“理顺关系、明确职责、管办分离”的原则，完善机制、规范制度，统筹学校的信息化建设与管理。

华中师范大学校长杨宗凯做“提升信息化领导力，促进高校教育创新发展” 主题演讲，他指出，“十三五”期间我国教育信息化从应用阶段走入融合阶段、变革阶段，实现技术与教育的深度融合必须坚持以应用为驱动改革现有的体制机制，以加强教师的专业发展，促进教师能力和角色的深刻转变，逐步达成教学装备、学习内容、教学模式、评价方式的全面变革，为实现教育现代化提供基础支撑。他强调要把信息化领导力概念引入高校领域，认为高校领导者应当利用信息技术来全面提升学校在教学、科研、人才培养等方面的效果。

北京工业大学校长柳贡慧做“让教育信息化为京津冀协同发展提供创新动力” 主题演讲，从京津冀协同发展的定位和主要任务出发，分析了京津冀协同发展中高校所面临的新挑战。他认为在“互联网+”时代的大背景下，信息、数据和平台的一体化协同赋予了京津冀一体化新的时代特征，提出教育信息化要为京津冀地区在协同发展中提供引擎、抓手和创新动力，并提出了建立“京津冀教育信息化创新联盟”的新思路，来探索区域教育信息化协同之路。

西安交通大学副校长郑庆华做“教育大数据的挖掘分析与利用”主题演讲，他指出，让大学管理更高效、教育评价更精准、教育教学更智慧、师生服务更个性是教育大数据的四个重要价值，挖掘教育大数据中的价值并加以充分利用，是提升教育教学质量、管理服务水平的新途径、新技术。他以陕西省高等教育大数据服务平台、“MOOC中国”、西安交大智慧教学管理三大典型应用为例，从教育大数据的汇聚融合与挖掘应用的角度分析了如何运用教育大数据技术推动大学管理和人才培养的创新改革，展示了教育大数据对提升西安交大乃至陕西省高等教育办学和管理服务水平的重要促进作用。

在三个平行论坛上，重庆大学副校长李茂国主持了“信息技术与教育教学融合创新”方面的研讨，与北京林业大学副校长骆有庆、北京开放大学校长黄先开、北京工商大学副校长方德英、国际关系学院副院长孙志明等校领导围绕“互联网+” 背景下的人才培养创新各抒己见，介绍了各自学校在优质共享资源开发、在线教育平台建设、慕课情境下的翻转课堂实践、线上线下教学结合的O2O新型教学模式探索、在线教育管理与学分认证制度等方面开展的探索与实践。他们认为：信息技术与教育教学的深度融合是时代的潮流，以慕课为代表的在线教育模式将带来前所未有的教学效果和教学体验，慕课等的不断普及可能会引发高校在一定程度上重构教育分工，因此，要加快推进教育教学信息化，实现信息化与高等教育的深度融合。

北京联合大学副校长张连城主持了“信息化引领管理服务模式创新”方面的研讨，与中国科学院大学副校长杨国强、中南大学党委副书记蒋建湘、北京建筑大学党委副书记张启鸿、大连海事大学副校长潘新祥等校领导围绕信息化对高校管理与服务的变革进行了深入的研讨，他们认为：要让信息化深入到高校更多的核心业务领域，产生大量“化学反应式”的融合与创新，推动机构重组与流程再造，为教育质量的提高与领导决策提供了便捷、可靠的信息化支持；要积累数据、分析数据，让数据为决策服务、为教学服务，利用大数据探索教育规律，利用可视化和大数据技术实现教育质量监控评估和教育智能决策分析，为教育决策提供有效依据。研讨中他们还分享了各自学校的成功实践，如：实现对大规模课程、论文、学生、导师等数据资源的深度挖掘和行为分析，为各级领导和主管部门了解动态、制定措施、寻找差距、诊断问题、优化教育资源配置提供支持；利用大数据分析改进学生管理，实现从被动管理到主动管理、从群体管理到个性化管理、从粗放管理到精细管理。

华东师范大学党委副书记、副校长任友群主持了“高校IT治理与体制机制创新”方面的研讨，与华南师范大学副校长胡钦太、黑龙江大学党委副书记曲科军、南昌大学副校长李建民、北京电子科技职业学院副院长李丽萍等校领导围绕CIO体制如何在我国高校落地、高校信息化人才队伍建设机制、高校信息化驱动与激励机制等问题展开了热烈的讨论，实话实说，碰撞出很多火花。经研讨，校长们形成了不少共识：高校信息化领导体制已经成为信息化发展的瓶颈，学校副职分管信息化基本上只能做好信息化基础设施建设和日常运行工作，难以有效推动信息技术与教育教学的深度融合，迫切需要建立符合中国高校实际情况的CIO体系；要加大力度解决高校信息化人才队伍建设问题，采用多种编制的混合模式建设学校信息化专业队伍，在职称晋升和薪酬激励制度方面改革创新，使高校能够留住信息化方面的高端人才；要以应用驱动为指导原则推动信息化建设，包括应用驱动服务、应用驱动数据、应用驱动需求，强化信息化绩效导向，推动教育信息化良性发展。

本次校长论坛从3月份开始筹备，在中国高等教育学会指导下，我分会和北京联合大学一起成立论坛筹备工作组，下设秘书组、宣传组和会务组，协同配合开展论坛的筹备工作。第一次承办中国高等教育学会主办的高等教育信息化校长高峰论坛，对于筹备工作组来说，压力还是很大的。幸运的是，在大家的共同努力下，首届高等教育信息化校长高峰论坛取得圆满成功，70所高校领导报名参会，实到校领导近40人，参会人员200余人，会议从始至终气氛热烈。参会校领导都认为本次论坛适逢其时，收获颇丰，并且希望论坛能够持续办下去，为高校领导提供一个论道信息化的专门平台。

最后，要感谢合作承办单位北京联合大学的出色工作，为论坛提供了周到细致的高水平会务服务！要感谢中国教育信息化在线及时、快捷的高质量深度报道！感谢我们分会的企业会员新开普电子股份有限公司、成都康赛信息技术有限公司、江苏金智教育信息技术有限公司、上海智隆信息技术有限公司、北京希嘉创智科技有限公司提供的赞助与支持！当然，我们更要感谢教育部科技司和中国高等教育学会给予本次论坛的支持与指导、以及与会高校的积极参与！

校长论坛、校长论道，让我们一起憧憬下一届高等教育信息化校长高峰论坛的到来！

篇6：给校长的一封信英文版

Sports facilities play an important role in college students‘ daily life.It is necessary of the college to build more sports facilities.In college,students not only study hard but also need the sports facilities to relax themselves or enhance physical during their spare times.

But there are so few sports facilities in our school.

That isn‘t a good news.Students‘ lives are very dull.Most of them spend their times just in reading room or playing games on net.I advise you to consider this seriously and build more sports facilities.I am looking forward to you answer.

篇7：校长英文

哈佛女校长Drew G.Faust给2008年本科毕业生的演讲cVC大学生英语网

在这所久负盛名的大学的别具一格的仪式上，我站在了你们的面前，被期待着给予一些蕴含着恒久智慧的言论。站在这个讲坛上，我穿得像个清教徒教长——一个可能会吓到我的杰出前辈们的怪物，或许使他们中的一些人重新致力于铲除巫婆的事业上。这个时刻也许曾激励了很多清教徒成为教长。但现在，我在上面，你们在下面，此时此刻，属于真理，为了真理。cVC大学生英语网

In the curious custom of this venerable institution, I find myself standing before you expected to impart words of lasting wisdom.Here I am in a pulpit, dressed like a Puritan minister — an apparition that would have horrified many of my distinguished forebears and perhaps rededicated some of them to the extirpation of witches.This moment would have propelled Increase and Cotton into a true “Mather lather.” But here I am and there you are and it is the moment of and for Veritas.cVC大学生英语网

You have been undergraduates for four years.I have been president for not quite one.You have known three presidents;I one senior class.Where then lies the voice of experience? Maybe you should be offering the wisdom.Perhaps our roles could be reversed and I could, in Harvard Law School style, do cold calls for the next hour or so.cVC大学生英语网

你们已经在哈佛做了四年的大学生，而我当哈佛校长还不到一年。你们认识了三个校长，而我只认识了你们这一届大四的。算起来我哪有资格说什么经验之谈？或许应该由你们上来展示一下智慧。要不我们换换位置？然后我就可以像哈佛法学院的学生那样，在接下来的一个小时内不时地冷不防地提出问题。cVC大学生英语网

cVC大学生英语网

We all do seem to have made it to this point — more or less in one piece.Though I recently learned that we have not provided you with dinner since May 22.I know we need to wean you from Harvard in a figurative sense.I never knew we took it quite so literally.cVC大学生英语网

学校和学生们似乎都在努力让时间来到这一时刻，而且还差不多是步调一致的。我这两天才得知哈佛从5月22日开始就不向你们提供伙食了。虽然有比喻说“我们早晚得给你们断奶”，但没想到我们的后勤还真的早早就把“奶”给断了。cVC大学生英语网

cVC大学生英语网

But let’s return to that notion of cold calls for a moment.Let’s imagine this were a baccalaureate service in the form of Q & A, and you were asking the questions.“What is the meaning of life, President Faust? What were these four years at Harvard for? President Faust, you must have learned something since you graduated from college exactly 40 years ago?”(Forty years.I’ll say it out loud since every detail of my life — and certainly the year of my Bryn Mawr degree — now seems to be publicly available.But please remember I was young for my class.)cVC大学生英语网

现在还是让我们回到我刚才提到的提问题的事上吧。让我们设想下这是个哈佛大学给本科生的毕业服务，是以问答的形式。你们将问些问题，比如：“福校长啊，人生的价值是什么呢？我们上这大学四年是为了什么呢？福校长，你大学毕业到现在的40年里一定学到些什么东西可以教给我们吧？”（40年啊，我就直说了，因为我人生中的每段细节——当然包括我在布林茅尔女子学院的一年——现在似乎都成了公共资源。但请记住在哈佛我可是“新生”）cVC大学生英语网

cVC大学生英语网

In a way, you have been engaging me in this Q & A for the past year.On just these questions, although you have phrased them a bit more narrowly.And I have been trying to figure out how I might answer and, perhaps more intriguingly, why you were asking.cVC大学生英语网

在某种程度上，在过去的一年里你们一直都在让我从事这种问答。从仅仅这些问题上，即使你们措辞问题都倾向于狭义，而我除了思考怎么做出回答外，更激发我去思考的，是你们为什么问这些问题。cVC大学生英语网

Let me explain.It actually began when I met with the UC just after my appointment was announced in the winter of 2007.Then the questions continued when I had lunch at Kirkland House, dinner at Leverett, when I met with students in my office hours, even with some recent graduates I encountered abroad.The first thing you asked me about wasn’t the curriculum or advising or faculty contact or even student space.In fact, it wasn’t even alcohol policy.Instead, you repeatedly asked me: Why are so many of us going to Wall Street? Why are we going in such numbers from Harvard to finance, consulting, i-banking?cVC大学生英语网

听我解释。提问从2007年冬天我的任职被公布时与校方的会面就开始了。然后提问一直持续，不论是我在Kirkland House（哈佛的12个本科生宿舍之一）吃午饭还是在Leverett House（哈佛的12个本科生宿舍之一，本科高年级学生使用）吃晚饭，或是当我在办公时间与学生会见，甚至是我在与国外认识的刚考来的研究生的谈话中。你们问的第一个问题不是关于课业，不是让我提建议，也不是为了和教员接触，甚至是想向我提建议。事实上，更不是为了和我讨论酒精政策。相反，你们不厌其烦问的却是：为什么我们之中这么多人将去华尔街？为什么我们大量的学生都从哈佛走向了金融，理财咨询，投行？cVC大学生英语网

There are a number of ways to think about this question and how to answer it.There is the Willie Sutton approach.You may know that when he was asked why he robbed banks, he replied, “Because that’s where the money is.” Professors Claudia Goldin and Larry Katz, whom many of you have encountered in your economics concentration, offer a not dissimilar answer based on their study of student career choices since the seventies.They find it notable that, given the very high pecuniary rewards in finance, many students nonetheless still choose to do something else.Indeed, 37 of you have signed on with Teach for America;one of you will dance tango and work in dance therapy in Argentina;another will be engaged in agricultural development in Kenya;another, with an honors degree in math, will study poetry;another will train as a pilot with the USAF;another will work to combat breast cancer.Numbers of you will go to law school, medical school, and graduate school.But, consistent with the pattern Goldin and Katz have documented, a considerable number of you are selecting finance and consulting.The Crimson’s survey of last year’s class reported that 58 percent of men and 43 percent of women entering the workforce made this choice.This year, even in challenging economic times, the figure is 39 percent.cVC大学生英语网

对于这个问题有多种思考和回答方式。有一种解释就是如Willie Sutton所说的，一切向“钱”看。（Willie Sutton是个抢银行犯，被逮住后当被问到为什么去抢银行时，他说：“Because that is where the money is!”）你们中很多人见过的普通经济学教授Claudia Goldin 和Larry Katz，基于对上世纪70年代以来的学生的职业选择的研究，作出了差不多的回答。他们发现了值得注意的一点：即使从事金融业可以得到很高的金钱回报，很多学生仍然选择做其它的事情。实事上，你们中间有37人签到了“教育美国人”（Teach for America，美国的一个组织，其作用类似于中国的“希望工程”）；1人将去跳探戈舞蹈并在阿根廷从事舞蹈疗法；1人将致力于肯尼亚的农业发展；另有1人获得了数学的荣誉学位，却转而去研究诗歌；1人将去美国空军接受飞行员训练；还有1人将加入到与乳癌抗战当中。你们中的很多人将去法学院，医学院或研究生院。但是，和Goldin 和Katz教授有据证明的一样，你们中相当一部分人将选择金融和理财咨询。Crimson对于上届学生的调查显示，在就业的学生中，58%的男生和43%的女生做出了这个选择。今年，即使在经济受挑战的一年，这个数据是39%。cVC大学生英语网

High salaries, the all but irresistible recruiting juggernaut, the reassurance for many of you that you will be in New York working and living and enjoying life alongside your friends, the promise of interesting work — there are lots of ways to explain these choices.For some of you, it is a commitment for only a year or two in any case.Others believe they will best be able to do good by first doing well.Yet, you ask me why you are following this path.cVC大学生英语网

也许是为了高薪——难以抵抗的招聘诱惑，也许是为了留在纽约然后和朋友们一起工作生活和享受人生，也许是为了做自己感兴趣的工作——对于这些选择可以有各种各样的理由。对你们中的一些人，无论如何那也只是个一两年的契约。其他的一部分人相信他们只有在过得“富有”了以后才有可能过得“富有”价值。不过，你们依然会问我，为什么要走这条路？cVC大学生英语网

I find myself in some ways less interested in answering your question than in figuring out why you are posing it.If Professors Goldin and Katz have it right;if finance is indeed the “rational choice,” why do you keep raising this issue with me? Why does this seemingly rational choice strike a number of you as not understandable, as not entirely rational, as in some sense less a free choice than a compulsion or necessity? Why does this seem to be troubling so many of you?cVC大学生英语网

我发现我自己有时候对于回答你们的问题并没有多大兴趣，比较而言更感兴趣的却是捉摸你们为什么提那些问题。如果果真如Goldin和Katz教授所说；如果去搞金融确实是一个“理性”的选择，为什么你们会不停地向我提出这类问题？为什么看似理性的选择却让你们当中相当一部分人认为是令人费解的，伪理性的，或出于某种需求和强迫所作出的并不自由的选择？为什么这个问题似乎困扰着你们当中的很多一部分人？

You are asking me, I think, about the meaning of life, though you have posed your question in code — in terms of the observable and measurable phenomenon of senior career choice rather than the abstract, unfathomable and almost embarrassing realm of metaphysics.The Meaning of Life — capital M, capital L — is a cliché — easier to deal with as the ironic title of a Monty Python movie or the subject of a Simpsons episode than as a matter about which one would dare admit to harboring serious concern.cVC大学生英语网

我想，你们问我的是：关于人生价值的问题。虽然你们问得比较隐晦——即是些可以观察和衡量的大四学生职业选择的问题，而不是那抽象的，晦涩的，甚至会令人难堪的形而上学范畴的问题。人生价值，要人生？还是要价值？作为Monty Python那部片子（指的是六人行里《人生的价值》那一集）的讽刺意味的片名是不难理解的，作为《辛普森一家》（美国特别受欢迎的动画连续剧）的其中一集的主题也是不难理解的，可是当关系到“生存问题”的时候，就是不那么好办了。cVC大学生英语网

But let’s for a moment abandon our Harvard savoir faire, our imperturbability, our pretense of invulnerability, and try to find the beginnings of some answers to your question.cVC大学生英语网

那让我们还是暂时摘下那戴着的哈佛面具，收起那缺乏热情的冷漠，卸下我们看似刀枪不入的伪装，让我们尝试去探寻你们问的一些问题的答案。（我觉得校长能说出这句话真太棒了！我想她当时面对的听众的表情和我们在听课时的表情差不多。）cVC大学生英语网

I think you are worried because you want your lives not just to be conventionally successful, but to be meaningful, and you are not sure how those two goals fit together.You are not sure if a generous starting salary at a prestigious brand name organization together with the promise of future wealth will feed your soul.cVC大学生英语网

我觉得，你们之所以担忧，是因为你们不想仅仅是获得传统意义上的成功，而且要活得有价值。可是你们不清楚“鱼”与“熊掌”怎样才能“兼得”。你们不清楚是否，一家拥有著名品牌的企业提供的数目可观的并且预期着你未来财富的起薪，可以让你们的灵魂得到满足。cVC大学生英语网

Why are you worried? Partly it is our fault.We have told you from the moment you arrived here that you will be the leaders responsible for the future, that you are the best and the brightest on whom we will all depend, that you will change the world.We have burdened you with no small expectations.And you have already done remarkable things to fulfill them: your dedication to service demonstrated in your extracurricular engagements, your concern about the future of the planet expressed in your vigorous championing of sustainability, your reinvigoration of American politics through engagement in this year’s presidential contests.cVC大学生英语网

然而，你们为什么担忧呢？这部分地是我们的责任。当你们一踏进这个学校，我们就告诉你们：你们将成为领导未来的中坚人物，你们将成为美国人民依赖的最顶尖、最杰出的精英，你们将改变整个世界。我们“望子成龙”的期望使你们背上了负担。而你们为了实现这些期望也已经做得很好：在对课外活动的从事中，你们展示出对于服务性工作的奉献精神；从对可持续发展的热情拥护，你们表达出对这个星球的关怀；通过对今年总统竞选的参与，你们做出了希望使美国政治重新恢复活力的实际行动。cVC大学生英语网

But many of you are now wondering how these commitments fit with a career choice.Is it necessary to decide between remunerative work and meaningful work? If it were to be either/or, which would you choose? Is there a way to have both?cVC大学生英语网

但你们中的很多人现在会问，“怎样才能把做这些有价值的事情和一个职业选择结合起来呢？”“是否必须在一份有报酬却没价值的工作和一份有价值却没报酬的工作间做出抉择呢？”“如果是一个单选题，您会选哪一个？”“有没有折中的办法？”cVC大学生英语网

You are asking me and yourselves fundamental questions about values, about trying to reconcile potentially competing goods, about recognizing that it may not be possible to have it all.You are at a moment of transition that requires making choices.And selecting one option — a job, a career, a graduate program — means not selecting others.Every decision means loss as well as gain — possibilities foregone as well as possibilities embraced.Your question to me is partly about that — about loss of roads not taken.cVC大学生英语网

你们在问我，也是问你们自己问题，即关于价值观的根本性的问题。你们在试图调解两个商品潜在的相互竞争，承认也许不可能兼得两者。你们在经历一次人生的转折，而这个转折需要你们自己做出一些决定。选择一条道路——一份工作、一项事业或一个研究生课题——不单单是在选择东西。每个决定都意味着“得”与“失”——过去与未来的种种可能。你们问我的问题其实有几分是关于“失”，即你放弃的那条道路让你失去了什么。

Finance, Wall Street, “recruiting” have become the symbol of this dilemma, representing a set of issues that is much broader and deeper than just one career path.These are issues that in one way or another will at some point face you all — as you graduate from medical school and choose a specialty — family practice or dermatology, as you decide whether to use your law degree to work for a corporate firm or as a public defender, as you decide whether to stay in teaching after your two years with TFA.You are worried because you want to have both a meaningful life and a successful one;you know you were educated to make a difference not just for yourself, forcVC大学生英语网

your own comfort and satisfaction, but for the world around you.And now you have to figure out the way to make that possible.cVC大学生英语网

金融、华尔街，“招聘”一词已经成了这种博弈的符号，代表着比仅仅选择一条职业道路更广更深的一系列问题。这些问题早晚将面临着你们每个人——如果你是从医学院毕业，你将选择一个具体从医方向——做私人医生还是专攻皮肤病，如果你学的是法律，你将决定是用你的法律知识为一个公司法人卖命还是成为公众的正义化身，或是在 “教育美国人”两年后你决定是否继续从教。你们之所以担忧，是因为你们想拥有充满价值的同时又是成功的人生；你们知道，你们被教育要有大的作为，不仅仅是为了个人，为了自己生活地舒适，而是要让周围的世界因此而改变。(个人最喜欢这一句。——李江洪)因此你们才不得不思考怎样才能让其成为可能。cVC大学生英语网

I think there is a second reason you are worried — related to but not entirely distinct from the first.You want to be happy.You have flocked to courses like “Positive Psychology” — Psych 1504 — and “The Science of Happiness” in search of tips.But how do we find happiness? I can offer one encouraging answer: get older.Turns out that survey data show older people — that is, my age — report themselves happier than do younger ones.But perhaps you don’t want to wait.cVC大学生英语网

我认为你们之所以担忧有第二个原因——和第一个有关系但不是完全一样。你们希望过得幸福。你们蜂拥着去修“积极心理学”这门课——课程代号“心1504”——和“幸福的科学”这门课，不就是为了听点人生“小贴士”？可是，我们怎样才能获得幸福？在这儿，我可以提供一个启发性的答案：变老。调查数据显示年长的人——也就是我这把年纪的人——觉得自己比年轻人更幸福。不过，很可能你们没有人愿意去等着去看这个答案。cVC大学生英语网

I have listened to you talk about the choices ahead of you, I have heard you articulate your worries about the relationship of success and happiness — perhaps, more accurately, how to define success so that it yields and encompasses real happiness, not just money and prestige.The most remunerative choice, you fear, may not be the most meaningful and the most satisfying.But you wonder how you would ever survive as an artist or an actor or a public servant or a high school teacher? How would you ever figure out a path by which to make your way in journalism? Would you ever find a job as an English professor after you finished who knows how many years of graduate school and dissertation writing?cVC大学生英语网

在聊天时我听过你们谈到你们目前所面临的选择，我听到你们一字一句地说出你们对于成功与幸福的关系的忧虑——也许，更精确地讲，怎样去定义成功才能使它具有或包含真正的幸福，而不仅仅是金钱和荣誉。你们害怕，报酬最丰厚的选择，也许不是最有价值的和最令人满意的选择。但是你们也担心，如果作为一个艺术家或是一个演员，一个人民公仆或是一个中学老师，该如何才能生存下去？然而，你们可曾想过，如果你的梦想是新闻业，怎样才能想出一条通往梦想的道路呢？难道你会在读了不知多少年研，写了不知多少毕业论文终于毕业后，找一个英语教授的工作？cVC大学生英语网

The answer is: you won’t know till you try.But if you don’t try to do what you love — whether it is painting or biology or finance;if you don’t pursue what you think will be most meaningful, you will regret it.Life is long.There is always time for Plan B.But don’t begin with it.cVC大学生英语网

答案是：你不试试就永远都不会知道。但如果你不试着去做自己热爱的事情，不管是玩泥巴还是生物还是金融，如果连你自己都不去追求你认为最有价值的事，你终将后悔。人生路漫漫，你总有时间去给自己留“后路”，但可别一开始就走“后路”。

I think of this as my parking space theory of career choice, and I have been sharing it with students for decades.Don’t park 20 blocks from your destination because you think you’ll never find a space.Go where you want to be and then circle back to where you have to be.cVC大学生英语网

我把这叫做我的关于职业选择的“泊车”理论，几十年来我一直都在向学生们“兜售”我的这个理论。不要因为怕到了目的地找不到停车位而把车停在距离目的地20个路口的地方。直接到达你想去的地方，哪怕再绕回来停，你暂时停的地方只是你被迫停的地方。cVC大学生英语网

You may love investment banking or finance or consulting.It might be just right for you.Or, you might be like the senior I met at lunch at Kirkland who had just returned from an interview on the West Coast with a prestigious consulting firm.“Why am I doing this?” she asked.“I hate flying, I hate hotels, I won’t like this job.” Find work you love.It is hard to be happy if you spend more than half your waking hours doing something you don’t.cVC大学生英语网

你也许喜欢做投行，或是做金融抑或做理财咨询。都可能是适合你的。那也许真的就是适合你的。或许你也会像我在Kirkland House见到的那个大四学生一样，她刚从美国西海岸一家著名理财咨询公司的面试回来。“我为什么要做这个？”她说，“我讨厌坐飞机，我讨厌住宾馆，我是不会喜欢这份工作的。”找到你热爱的工作。如果你把你一天中醒着的一大半时间用来做你不喜欢的事情，你是很难感到幸福的。cVC大学生英语网

But what is ultimately most important here is that you are asking the question —cVC大学生英语网

not just of me but of yourselves.You are choosing roads and at the same time challenging your own choices.You have a notion of what you want your life to be and you are not sure the road you are taking is going to get you there.This is the best news.And it is also, I hope, to some degree, our fault.Noticing your life, reflecting upon it, considering how you can live it well, wondering how you can do good: These are perhaps the most valuable things that a liberal arts education has equipped you to do.A liberal education demands that you live self-consciously.It prepares you to seek and define the meaning inherent in all you do.It has made you an analyst and critic of yourself, a person in this way supremely equipped to take charge of your life and how it unfolds.It is in this sense that the liberal arts are liberal — as in liberare — to free.They empower you with the possibility of exercising agency, of discovering meaning, of making choices.The surest way to have a meaningful, happy life is to commit yourself to striving for it.Don’t settle.Be prepared to change routes.Remember the impossible expectations we have of you, and even as you recognize they are impossible, remember how important they are as a lodestar guiding you toward something that matters to you and to the world.The meaning of your life is for you to make.cVC大学生英语网

但是我在这儿说的最重要的是：你们在问那些问题——不仅是问我，而是在问你们自己。你们正在选择人生的道路，同时也在对自己的选择提出质疑。你们知道自己想过什么样的生活，也知道你们将行的道路不一定会把你们带到想去的地方。这样其实很好。某种程度上，我倒希望这是我们的错。我们一直在标榜人生，像镜子一样照出未来你们的模样，思考你们怎么可以过得幸福，探索你们怎样才能去做些对社会有价值的事：这些也许是文科教育可以给你们“装备”的最有价值的东西。文科教育要求你们要活得“明白”。它使你探索和定义你做的每件事情背后的价值。它让你成为一个经常分析和反省自己的人。而这样的人完全能够掌控自己的人生或未来。从这个道理上讲，文科——照它的字面意思——才使你们自由。（英语里文科是Liberal Art，照字面解释是自由的艺术）学文科可以让你有机会去进行理论的实践，去发现你所做的选择的价值。想过上有价值的，幸福的生活，最可靠的途径就是为了你的目标去奋斗。不要安于现状得过且过。随时准备着改变人生的道路。记住我们对你们的我觉得是“过于崇高”的期待，可能你们自己也承认那些期待是有点“太高了”。不过如果想做些对于你们自己或是这个世界有点价值的事情，记住它们，它们将会像北斗一样指引着你们。你们人生的价值将由你们去实现！cVC大学生英语网

I can’t wait to see how you all turn out.Do come back, from time to time, and let us know.cVC大学生英语网
