杨紫琼在哈佛大学法学院毕业典礼上的演讲（第三部分）

Find your people.

找到与你同行的伙伴。

Life is not always a zero-sum game. For every winner, that doesn’t have to be a loser. In fact, most success stories are less about competition and more about collaboration. The truth is, I could not have done any of this alone. My achievements are the results of those around me who offered and continue to offer support and belief. There are times where as much as I don’t want to let myself down, I don’t want to let them down even more.

生活并不总是一场零和游戏。对每个成功者来说，不一定都有一个对应的失败者。事实上，大多数成功故事与其说是关于竞争，不如说是关于合作。事实是，我不可能独自完成这一切。我的成就是周围人过去现在一直给予支持和信任的结果。很多时候，我不想让自己失望，更不想让他们失望。

My definition of community is vast, including my family, loved ones, and friends. But it also includes the other actors, directors, producers, some people, film crews, dancers, musicians, and artists with whom I’ve crossed paths. My community transcends time, in the sense that I stand on the shoulders of those who have come before me and I am energized and inspired by those who come after me. My community extends beyond people I know personally, which is why representation matters and why diversity on and off the screen have been a major priority for me, particularly for women, and particularly in lead roles. When we shine a light on the rich and varied world around us, we empower the whole of our humanity. I can see no better reason to wake up in the morning and get to work.

我的圈子很大，包括家人、爱人和朋友。同时也包括其他演员、导演、制片人，还有另外一些人，我合作过的电影工作者、舞者、音乐家和画家等。我的圈子超越了时间，就是说，我站在前人的肩膀上，我也被后来者激励和鼓舞。我的圈子超越了我个人熟识的人，这就是为什么代表性很重要，为什么银幕内外的多样性对我来说是一个重要的优先事项，尤其是对女性，尤其是在主演方面。当我们照亮周围丰富多彩的世界时，我们也会将力量赋予整个人类。我觉得没有比这更好的理由让我早起工作了。

Lastly, my community is not limited to the film industry. In my work as UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, I have witnessed the deep inequalities that continue to plague societies around the world and I have seen up close how women and girls are often the last to get essential services like clean water and vaccines, especially in crisis. For this reason, I have committed myself in walking in lockstep with their struggle.

最后，我的圈子并不局限于电影业。在担任联合国开发计划署亲善大使期间，我目睹世界各地持续遭受严重社会不平等现象的困扰，我也更清楚地看到，妇女和女童往往是最后获得清洁水和疫苗等基本生活保障的人，特别是在危机期间。为此，我决心始终跟她们站在一起，为消除她们的苦难而奋斗。

The prerequisite to change is empathy. Seeing through other people’s perspective activates our compassion, which becomes the driving force for real-world demonstrable action. Compassion is the ultimate superpower within us. When you are leaping without a safety net, people become your safety net and you become theirs.

改变的先决条件是同理心。从他人角度看问题会激发我们的同情心，同情心会成为现实世界中可证行动的驱动力。同情心是我们最重要的超能力。当你在没有安全网防护的情况下飞跃时，其他人就成为你的安全网，而你也会成为他们的安全网。

So those are my tips: stay loose, know your limits, and find your people. But I want to conclude by speaking briefly about that little movie that could – “Everything, Everywhere All at Once”. This was a film that in many ways brings together all the insights I have shared with you today. It defied genre, playing loose with free expectations and defining categorization. It flouted limitation by taking a smaller budget and turning it into an international phenomenon. And it brought together a community of creative and talented individuals, working with a common passion to tell a universal human story. This was a movie made entirely with love that was in many ways the culmination of my life’s work, and the reverberations of that love continue to be felt as “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once” has caused a tectonic shift in the industry, opening the door to more independent efforts and greater Asian representation. When I think of a glorious leap into an unknown void, I think of that movie.

以上就是我的三个建议：保持轻松，了解你的极限，找到你的同伴。最后，我想简单介绍下那部“无所不能的小电影”——《瞬息全宇宙》。从很多方面看，这部电影汇集了我今天跟大家分享的所有心得。它突破了类型限制，轻松展开自由想象，创立自己的类型。它藐视限制，用小预算做出了国际大片。它把一群富有创造力、才华横溢的人聚集起来，用共同的热情一起讲述一个普适的人类故事。这就像，我能看到的，我在激发浪潮。这是一部完全用爱制作的电影，从很多方面来说，它都是我演艺生涯的高峰，这种爱的回响会持续存在，因为《瞬息全宇宙》已经引起影视行业的结构性转变，为更多独立制作和更优秀的亚洲影视人才打开了大门。每当我想到要奋起跃入未知领域时，我就会想起那部电影。

So Class of 2023, this is my offering to you. Today, you graduate and today, you leap. Stay loose, be smart, and go with love and then leap, and then leap again and leap again. I look forward to living in the world you’ll all help build and I am honored to have been one small voice at the beginning of your journey.

2023届的同学们，这些就是我想与你们分享的。今天，你们将离开学校；今天，你们将跃入社会。保持轻松，遇事明智，与爱同行，然后抓住机会飞跃，一次又一次飞跃。我期待生活在你们共建的世界里，我也很荣幸能在你们启程之际提供一些小小的建议。

Thank you all, and I wish you every success. Happy graduation! 

谢谢大家，祝你们事事顺利。毕业快乐！
