We know about corporate social responsibility in the business world. The Academic Impact aims to generate a global movement of minds to promote a new culture of “intellectual social responsibility.”
我們了解商界企業(yè)的社會責任是什么。“學術影響力 ”旨在通過創(chuàng)立全球論壇，集合最有智慧的思想，支持“知識社會責任”的新文化建設。

It is animated by a commitment to certain bedrock principles. Among them: freedom of inquiry, opinion and speech … educational opportunity for all…global citizenship … sustainability … and dialogue.
對一些基本原則的堅持，則使其更具活力。這些原則包括：提出詢問的自由，發(fā)表言論與觀點的自由，所有人獲得教育的權利，全球公民身份的獲得，可持續(xù)發(fā)展和發(fā)展對話。

I welcome your ideas on how we can make the most of this initiative.
歡迎各位提出你們的意見，使我們這項活動辦的更好。

Ladies and Gentlemen,
女士們，先生們，

This week, the eminent Shanghai-born physicist, Dr. Charles Kao, celebrates his 77th birthday. We salute one of the fathers of applied science, recognized around the world for his achievements in the field of optical communication. Dr. Kao once said, “Optical communication is not just a technical advance, it will continue to change the way people learn, the way they live and relate to each other, as well as the way they work.” I believe Dr. Kao’s observation can be applied more broadly to all human knowledge, innovation and discovery. Scholarship – and a commitment to the academic freedom that underlies it – will continue to drive the ideas and energy that will change our world for good.
