Do you really see everybody who works in a restaurant where you'll go after here to have a celebratory meal?

 

你在一个餐馆吃完庆功宴要离开时，你真的会看这里工作的每一个人吗？

我们有没有看到在街上路过的人，他们可能面带微笑、眉头紧锁，或者背负着几乎不能独自承担的重担？

 

When we passionately¹ advocate for the causes, we believe in, have we anticipated all the unanticipated consequences so that we can take everybody along for a ride to the future we imagine.

The young people that were mentioned in my introduction who have been part of our global initiative community for university students made very specific commitments.

他们承诺帮助家庭暴力受害者和遭受暴力的无家可归者。

他们承诺通过小额信贷贷款为海地的小企业提供更多资金，这对希拉里和我个人来说意义重大，因为自从我们去那里度蜜月以来的40多年里，我们一直关心和信任他们。

 

They promised an educational exchange with the National University of Rwanda.

We can learn a lot from them, because they lost 10 percent of their people in ninety days to a genocide in 1994, and they came back because they refused to be paralyzed by the past.

 

我们可以从他们身上学到很多，因为他们在1994年的种族灭绝中，90天内失去了10%的人民，他们回来是因为他们拒绝被过去麻痹。

只要相信共同的人道比那些有趣的差异更重要，我们就会共享繁荣和包容的社区。
