창조적인 자본주의를 만들면 시장이 가난한 사람위해

더 많은 일을 하도록 만들 수 있어

지난 주에 이어 빌 게이츠의 하버드대학

졸업식 연설문의 일부를 해석해 보도록 하자．

But taking a serious look back…， I do have one big regret．

I left Harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities in the world―the appalling disparities of health， and wealth， and opportunity that condemn millions of people to lives of despair．

I learned a lot here at Harvard about new ideas in economics and politics．

I got great exposure to the advances being made in the sciences．

But humanity’s greatest advances are not in its discoveries―but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity．

Whether through democracy， strong public education， quality health care， or broad economic opportunity―reducing inequity is the highest human achievement．

I left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities here in this country．

And I knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries． It took me decades to find out．

You graduates came to Harvard at a different time．

You know more about the world’s inequities than the classes that came before．

In your years here， I hope you’ve had a chance to think about how―in this age of accelerating technology―we can finally take on these inequities， and we can solve them．

Imagine， just for the sake of discussion， that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause―and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving lives．

Where would you spend it?
