哈佛校长LawrenceBacow在通知学生撤离校园的电邮的结尾处写下了这样一段话，我简单翻译一下，与读者朋友们分享：
No one knows what we will face in the weeks ahead, but everyone knows enough to understand that COVID-19 will test our capacities to be kind and generous, and to see beyond ourselves and our own interests. Our task now is to bring the best of who we are and what we do to a world that is more complex and more confused than any of us would like it to be. May we all proceed with wisdom and grace.
With appreciation,
Larry

我们谁都无法预知，在接下来的几个星期的日子里，我们将面临什么。但我们每个人都清醒地明白，新冠病毒将考验我们，考验我们具有怎样的能力，使得我们能够始终保持善良与宽厚，让我们的视野超越自我、超越自身的利益。我们谁都不愿意看到这个世界游移乖张、混乱迷惘，此时此刻，我们的使命是，向世人展示出我们最高贵的人格，让人们看到我们究竟能够为这个世界做些什么。愿大家怀抱智慧，优雅前行。
此致，
Larry
