首相先生、彭定康勋爵、汉密尔顿校长、女士们、先生们：

我这一生莫大的幸事，便是有幸亲眼见证——而且不止一次——那些曾被视为不可能的事，如何一步步化为日常的现实。

从这些经历中，我看出了一个规律。爱因斯坦说过：分析与逻辑"能把你从 A 点送到 B 点；而想象力，却能带你去任何地方。“在一切求知的领域里，再没有哪一处，比先进计算机科学更能让分析与灵感、远见水乳交融。算力的磅礴生命力，谱出一曲觉醒与进步的交响，早已在人类努力的诸多领域，解锁出更深刻、更圆满的解法与成果。

这座"李嘉诚健康资讯及研发中心”，正是这一过程的典范。

这里将要发生的，远不止是借一场数据密集型革命之力来改善医疗那么简单。

本中心的工作，将探寻创新之道：在扩大医疗可及性的同时，减轻成本的重负。

它将腾挪出资源，投入我们迫切需要的教育机会。

它还将孕育出更新、更深的务实能力——以精准的方案，在今日维系希望与稳定，并在明日催生更伟大的发现。

我今年八十五岁。

我见证过历史，也见识过历史的规律。

而我，依然对人类的潜能与未来怀有莫大的希望。

这座中心，将是未来奇迹的源头。能与牛津大学一同书写这段历史，我深感荣幸——不只是因为它将造福未来的人类，更因为它让我又一个愿景，在今日成为现实。

谢谢大家。

Mr. Prime Minister, Lord Patten, Vice-Chancellor Hamilton, Ladies and Gentlemen,

A great blessing in my life has been to witness first-hand and on many occasions the transformation of what once was thought impossible into everyday reality.

Through these experiences, I have noticed a pattern. Albert Einstein said, analytics or logic “will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” Nowhere do analytics in intellectual pursuits come together with inspiration and vision more effectively than in the field of advanced computer science. Computational dynamism creates a symphony of awareness and advancement that has already unlocked deeper and better solutions and outcomes in many fields of human endeavor.

This Centre for Health Information and Discovery is a model of this process.

What will happen here is more than the promise of harnessing the power of a data-intensive revolution to improve health care.

The work of this centre will identify innovative ways to increase access to health care while lessening the burden of cost.

It will free up resources for much needed investments in educational opportunities.

And it will lead to new and deeper competencies that are pragmatic—precise solutions to sustain hope and stability today and lead to even greater discoveries tomorrow.

I am 85 years old.

I have been a witness to history and its patterns.

And I hold great hope for human potential and the future.

This centre will be a source of miracles yet to come. I am honored to join Oxford University in the making of this history—not only because it will bless humanity in the future, but because it blesses me with one more vision that is becoming reality today.

Thank you.
