Ladies and Gentlemen,
女士们，先生们，

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.
本周，上海籍著名物理学家高锟迎来了他77岁的寿辰。我们祝福他，这位应用科学之父、被全世界公认的光纤领域科学家。高教授曾经说：“光纤通讯并不仅仅只是科技上的成就，它可以改变人们学习的方式、生活的方式 、交流的方式和工作的方式。我认为，高教授的成就可以被更广泛地应用于人类所有知识、创新与发现。而学术——和保障学术自由这一基础——将继续增强我们的力量，为我们提供方法，来永远地改变这个世界。

The United Nations stands ready to be an active partner with you in ensuring that your knowledge, skills and scholarship advance our universal goals of peace, development and human rights. Thank you for coming together in support of these noble goals.
