我们选择登月
President Pitzer, Mr. Vice President, Governor, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley, and Congressman Miller, Mr. Webb, Mr. Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen:
皮策校长、副校长、州长、国会议员托马斯、参议员威利、众议员米勒、韦伯先生、贝尔先生、科学家们、尊敬的来宾们、女士们、先生们：
I appreciate your president having made me an honorary visiting professor, and I will assure you that my first lecture will be very brief. I am delighted to be here and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion.
我很感激你们的校长授予我荣誉客座教授的头衔，我向你们保证，我的第一场演讲会跟简短。我很高兴来到这里，尤其是在这样一个场合。
We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a state noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
我们在这样一所以知识著名的大学，一座以进步闻名的城市，一个以实力著称的国家见面。我们站在这里是这三者的需要，以为我们的见面是在一个充满变化和挑战的时间，是在一个希望和害怕并存的十年，是在一个知识和无知并存的时代。我们学到的还是越多，认识到的无知就越多。
