Speech at the HKU Centenary Ceremony by Professor Lap-Chee Tsui, Vice-Chancellor of HKU

港大校長徐立之在香港大學(xué)百年校慶典禮上的致辭

Vice Premier Mr Li Keqiang, Minister of Education Mr Yuan Guiren, Mr Chancellor, Distinguished Guests, Members of the HKU Family, Ladies and Gentlemen,

尊敬的李克強(qiáng)副總理，袁貴仁部長，校監(jiān)先生，各位來賓，各位香港大學(xué)大家庭的成員：

Good morning!

早安！

And, on behalf of The University of Hong Kong, I would like to welcome you to the University this morning and, at the same time, thank you for coming to celebrate with us the University's Centenary.

我謹(jǐn)代表香港大學(xué)歡迎各位蒞臨本校，并多謝大家出席今天的百周年校慶典禮。

The last century has witnessed tremendous changes in Hong Kong, China and around the world, be it technological, economical, social or political.

回顧過去一個世紀(jì)，香港大學(xué)見證了香港、中國、以至全球，在科技、經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會和政治方面翻天覆地的轉(zhuǎn)變。

The University has also moved with the times over the past 100 years and evolved from an institute with only three areas of studies to a comprehensive university of many disciplines. As members of the international academe, we share the global challenges at the forefront of higher education developments.

在過去這一百年，香港大學(xué)與時并進(jìn)，由一所只有三個學(xué)院的教育機(jī)構(gòu)，發(fā)展成為今日設(shè)有多元學(xué)科的綜合型大學(xué)。港大作為國際學(xué)術(shù)界一員，與同儕共同面對全球高等教育發(fā)展的種種挑戰(zhàn)。

Indeed, the birth of this first and foremost University was an important part of the history of Hong Kong and China. It was the result of the combined efforts of the two governments, in Hong Kong and in Canton (now Guangdong), despite the rather delicate Sino-British relations in the last years of the Qing Dynasty. It could have been an impossible dream, had it not been for those who believed in the need for a university in Hong Kong and the generosity of those who wished to see one built for China and the world.

作為香港的第一所大學(xué)，香港大學(xué)的誕生絕對是香港和中國歷史的重要一部份。雖然當(dāng)時正值英國與晚清關(guān)系微妙時期，但在香港與廣東政府共同努力下，港大順利成立。當(dāng)然，這個夢想最終能夠如愿以償，全賴一群深信香港需要建立一所大學(xué)的有識之士，以及一眾希望能夠?yàn)橹袊笆澜缃⒁凰鶅?yōu)質(zhì)大學(xué)的熱心人士的慷慨捐助。

The University of Hong Kong was formally established in 1911; however, it has been a constant debate among our alumni and the community at large as to whether the University should be dated back to 1887, the year when the College of Medicine for Chinese was established in Hong Kong. Adding to this debate was the famous quote from Dr Sun Yat-sen, one of the first graduates of the College: He said, "I feel as though I have returned home because Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong are the birthplace of my knowledge." That was what Dr Sun told the students in this great hall, back in 1923.

香港大學(xué)于1911年正式成立，然而，我們的校友與社會大眾經(jīng)常討論應(yīng)否追溯至1887年，以港大前身——香港西醫(yī)書院成立之時為始；尤其是該書院首屆畢業(yè)生孫中山先生，在1923年，就在這個大禮堂內(nèi)，與學(xué)生所說的一番話，他說：“我有如游子歸家，因?yàn)橄愀叟c香港大學(xué)是我知識的誕生地”。

Despite these academic arguments, generations of scholars, students and alumni have so shaped HKU that it has gained a momentum of its own, transcending time and changes, as a university should. The enlightenment of teaching and learning at the University is now further enriched by the wealth of groundbreaking research. Our graduates have moved beyond careers in the civil service, to all sectors of society, and they have moved beyond Hong Kong.

盡管經(jīng)常有這種學(xué)術(shù)爭論，但在歷代的學(xué)者、學(xué)生及校友的共同努力下，港大跨越了時間與轉(zhuǎn)變的考驗(yàn)，成為一所充滿動力的學(xué)府。港大除了提供活潑的教學(xué)與學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境外，亦已成為許多突破性研究的發(fā)展基地。我們的畢業(yè)生除加入政府服務(wù)或投身香港不同機(jī)構(gòu)，在各個領(lǐng)域發(fā)揮所長外，還在海外開創(chuàng)事業(yè)，作出貢獻(xiàn)。

HKU remains a guardian of knowledge, an incubator of ideas and innovations, a cradle for new intellect and talent, and a pioneer in social consciousness and responsibility.

今天的香港大學(xué)一如既往，是知識的捍衛(wèi)者、創(chuàng)意和創(chuàng)新的孕育者，是新進(jìn)知識份子和人才的搖籃，以及社會良知和責(zé)任的先驅(qū)者。

Indeed, universities are among the most enduring institutions of any society; they are its soul and they bring hope.

誠然，大學(xué)是任何社會中最歷久不衰的機(jī)構(gòu)，也是社會的靈魂，為人們帶來希望。

It is in this spirit that we celebrate our Centenary and look into the future. Let me elaborate this further, in three aspects.

我們秉持著這種精神和價值，來慶祝創(chuàng)校一百周年，展望港大的未來。在此，本人想從三方面加以闡釋。

First, despite variations of the relationship between Hong Kong and its motherland, the University of Hong Kong has never ceased to play its unique role in contributing to China's modernization. Apart from Sun Yat-sen, many alumni have contributed directly to the development of the Mainland in the past Century. In addition, HKU graduates have played essential parts in building the great modern metropolis of Hong Kong, which in turn has proved to be an asset to its motherland.

首先，縱使香港與祖國的關(guān)系微妙多變，但香港大學(xué)始終致力于推動中國走向現(xiàn)代化。除了孫中山先生之外，許多位卓越的校友亦曾為建設(shè)祖國貢獻(xiàn)良多。再者，港大畢業(yè)生對于建設(shè)香港這個現(xiàn)代化大都會一直不遺余力，亦間接成為了祖國發(fā)展的一大資產(chǎn)。

However, as China moves forward, HKU must assume the responsibility to play an even bigger role at a higher level, to support and fulfill the nation's economic and social needs HKU must see and establish itself as a key institution in China.

然而，隨著中國繼續(xù)向前邁進(jìn)，香港大學(xué)亦將肩負(fù)更重要的使命，以迎合中國經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會的發(fā)展需要。為達(dá)成此目標(biāo)，港大應(yīng)當(dāng)視自己為中國的一所重要的學(xué)府，并在這方面奠定自己的地位。

Second, a hundred years ago, HKU was already an international hub for intellectuals, as most, if not all, of the teachers were expatriates and two-thirds of the students were non-Chinese. Notwithstanding fluctuations in the past century, HKU has retained its international outlook. We are privileged to have a great assembly of the finest scholars, brightest students and world citizens from diverse background and cultures, all under one roof.

第二，即使在一百年以前，港大已經(jīng)是國際知識份子的匯集之地。我們的教師大部份為海外教授，而三分之二的學(xué)生為非華裔。盡管經(jīng)歷百年的風(fēng)云變幻，港大的國際定位始終不變。今天，我們匯聚了無數(shù)的優(yōu)秀學(xué)者、精英學(xué)生以及擁有多元文化背景的世界公民，這些都成就了我們的優(yōu)勢。
