A beam of light can be refracted through a prism in different directions, driving us to ponder the balance between privacy and safety on the one hand, and to see the current world being influenced and changed by the youth on the other. In fact, this destined change also radically contributes to the progress of human society. Amid the advance of society and human, millions of young people make their contributions in the course of global development. In this regard, this article chooses five representative figures to analyze their distinctive stories of influencing the world.
一束光照在棱镜上会向各个方向射出光线,“棱镜”一方面让我们思考隐私与安全应该如何平衡，而另一方面则让我们看到当前的世界正在被青年所影响与改变。实际上，世界被新一代青年影响与改变是如同生老病死一般的规律，也是人类社会得以发展的根本原因。社会在进步，人类在发展，千千万万的青年人都在世界发展的历程中起着推波助澜的作用，在此，本文将挑选几位代表性人物，并对其影响世界的特殊方式进行剖析。
Edward Snowden, Young American Edward Snowden had an enviable job and stable life before he became a “whistleblower”. However he cannot return to his home country any longer now because he has to flee around the world for asylum. Undoubtedly, this 29-year-old young man has done something great to shake the whole world no matter how the history and society evaluate his action. No one really knows Edward’s psychology before he made this choice but it is certain to be restless. Mentioning his motivation before cameras, he answered briefly: “Conscience cannot allow American government to violate the world people’s privacy”. Overnight news about Edward captured the headlines of almost all the newspapers in United States, and this event happened not unexpectedly. In today’s society, people’s privacy is most vulnerable to invasions throughout history as governments of great powers have easy access to the information of millions of people. How this huge power should be used should not be determined by a small number of people, an enormous discussion is evitable. Probably, Edward Snowden would never deliberate on this important question and it was just a way to realize his self-value for himself. Nonetheless he has taught us that to be oneself in appropriate time is necessary and enough to affect the world instead of being a superman.
爱德华·斯诺顿：在决定成为“泄密者”之前，美国青年爱德华·斯诺顿拥有着令很多青少年心驰神往的工作和稳定的生活，但现在的他已经不能再回到自己的祖国。为了避难，他不得不在世界的各个角落逃窜。毫无疑问的是，无论历史和社会将对爱德华的行为做出怎样的评价，这个29岁的年轻人确实做了一件真正撼动了整个世界的大事。没有人知道在做出决定之前爱德华的心理活动是怎样的，总之一定不会是一个平静的过程，面对镜头谈及自己的动机时，他只是简单的说：“良知不容美国政府侵犯世界民众的隐私。”一夜之间爱德华登上了美国几乎所有报纸的头条，爱德华的出现并不是一个意外。如今的社会是有史以来最容易侵犯别人隐私的社会，大国的政府可以轻而易举地掌握数百万人的资料和行为，这样巨大的权力应该如何使用，这并非是少部分人能够决定的，一场巨大的讨论不可避免。但这样的大命题也许是爱德华·斯诺顿自己从来没有想过的，对于爱德华·斯诺顿来说，自己的行为可能只是对于自身价值观的一种实现，但爱德华·斯诺顿无疑身教了世人，影响世界未必要做“超人”，很多时候一个人只需在合适的时机能够做自己，这样就足以影响世界。 Mark Zuckerberg, Co-founders and CEO of the social networking website Facebook. In comparison with Edward Snowden, Mark Zuckerberg is a traditionally influential figure worldwide. He created a novel and funny website called “Facebook” and successfully popularized it among hundreds of millions of people. Although Facebook has brought Zuckerberg what young people aspire to such as wealth, fame, status, he is not reconciled. In his view, Zuckerberg never wants to operate a company or enterprise but to pay more attention to user’s experience, providing them with revolutionary convenience. For Mark Zuckerberg, to alter the world is his ultimate goal rather than to run a website company. As one of the America's Most Notorious 50 Businessman for his bizarre personality, he did not make any remarks and maybe didn’t care about it. But is there any genius loved by most people?
马克·扎克伯格：脸书社交网创办人及首席执行官。扎克伯格与同岁的爱德华·斯诺顿相比，可以算是一个“传统型”影响世界的人物，扎克伯格创造了一个叫做“脸书”的新鲜玩意，并让亿万人接受了这个有趣的网站。“脸书”给扎克伯格带来了年轻人所渴望的一切——钱、名气、地位，但扎克伯格并不甘仅止于此，他心中所想的是:“我从来不想运营一个公司或者企业，我把更多的注意力集中在用户的体验上，总想怎样能给他们带来革命性的便利。”在马克·扎克伯格的理念中，只有真正的改变世界才是他的目标，而并非是单纯的去运营一家网络公司。但马克·扎克伯格也因为古怪的性格被评为“美国最臭名昭著的50名富商”中的一员，对此，扎克伯格并没有发表过意见，但想来他是不在乎的，又有哪个活着的天才是被大多数人喜欢的呢？
Justin Bieber, Pop musician:This boy is idolized by numerous girls and favored in America and Europe pop music circle, while is sniffed at by many other people as he may appear, assumably, in any “The Most Annoying Star Rating List”. Even so, nobody could deny Justin Bieber’s super influence throughout the world regardless of pursuing or distaining. If you type in his name in a search engine, you can obtain countless pieces of information about his personal profile or detailed news that he killed a goldfish at the age of four when he responded that he did not know goldfish couldn’t survive without water at that time from soup to nuts. Up to now, Bieber cannot afford the title of great musician which needs more than just quickening young girls’ heart beat. Fortunately, Bieber is still at a young age with a fantastic beginning. It is believed that Bieber has figured out his future developing road. Whether he eventually becomes an honorable artist or lost in the masses, let us wait and see.
贾斯汀·比伯：知名艺人。这个男孩是无数少女的偶像，欧美流行音乐圈的宠儿，同时也有许多人对他嗤之以鼻。在任何地方发一个“我最讨厌的明星排行榜”，比伯多半会榜上有名。追捧也好不屑也罢，没有人能够否认这个男孩在世界范围内的超级影响力，只需在搜索引擎中输入他的名字，你就能获得无数条关于他的信息，从个人资料到类似“比伯小的时候杀死了一条宠物鱼，对此他说道：‘我那时4岁，我不知道把它拿出水后它就会死掉...’”这一类的信息一应俱全。但目前为止比伯还不足以被称为伟大的艺人，要成为伟大的艺人仅仅让青春期少女心跳加快是不够的。但比伯还很年轻，他已经拥有了一个梦幻般的开局，之后的路应该怎么走，相信比伯已经有了自己的想法，这个世界最终将得到一位伟大的艺术家还是泯然众人的仲永，我们拭目以待。 Isaac Newton, Physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, and alchemist. Certainly, Newton cannot be considered as a young man now, but as all his world-changing achievements has been made in his nonage, young Newton deservedly has influenced and altered the whole world. Different from the previous influential figures, Newton has truly altered the universe. No one could count how many inventions throughout the world that benefit from Newton’s contributions or it can be said that the entire modern society is under his influence, a case that superman transforms the planet. Regretfully, due to human’s overall cognitive limitations of that generation, Newton led himself into a dead end—alchemy after he completed his primary inventions at 26, striving for the impossible task of Midas Touch. Perhaps, Newton changed his study direction because the God he worshiped did not want human to unlock his secrets.
艾萨克·牛顿：物理学家、数学家、天文学家、自然哲学家、炼金术师。牛顿当然不是一个青年，但这位科学家改变世界的成就都发生于牛顿的青年时期，所以说青年牛顿当之无愧地影响与改变了世界。与前几位“影响或在某种程度上改变世界”不同的是，牛顿是一位真正改变世界的人，没有人能够数清目前社会上到底有多少发明是得益于牛顿的影响，或者可以说现代社会的一切都受到了牛顿的影响，这是一个超人改变世界的事例，但令人扼腕的是，由于那个年代的人类整体认知局限，牛顿在26岁完成自己的主要成就后就一头扎进了炼金术的死胡同，试图完成点石成金这个不可能完成的任务。或许是他笃信的上帝不希望有人解开自己的秘密，所以才改变了牛顿的方向。
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, The second suspect of Boston Marathon Bombing. It can't be denied that this man affects the world, though nobody is willing to suffer from this effect. He conspired and implemented Boston bombings with twisted and hatred mentality, but the effect was out of his expectation. He intended to leave the global kind-hearted people in desperation and horror, but kindness doesn’t equal to weakness, and their fortitude and optimism were beyond his imagination. No dark clouds can overshadow the sun forever. Terrorist attack may take away human’s lives, maim human’s bodies but never destroy their willing for peace and the long-existing hope. It is wondered that how Dzhokhar would feel in prison when he saw people pray for Boston, mourn for the dead and even appeal to forgive him on the internet rather than sink into horror and desperation as he expected.
焦哈尔·察尔纳耶夫：波士顿爆炸案二号嫌疑人。不可否认，这个人影响了世界，即使没有人愿意受到这种影响。这种影响并不是他之前所设想的，这个人抱着扭曲与仇恨的心态策划并实施了波士顿爆炸案。他想让世界上善良的民众感到绝望与恐惧，但他没想到的是善良不等于脆弱，民众的坚强和乐观超乎了他的想象。没有乌云能够永远的遮蔽太阳，恐怖袭击可以夺走人的生命、炸残人的肢体，但是永远不能够炸灭人们向往和平的意志和长存在世间的希望火种。不知道身在狱中的焦哈尔看到人们为波士顿祈福、为逝者默哀甚至在网络上发起活动呼吁宽恕他，但却唯独没有他预料中的恐惧和绝望时，他是怎样的心情？
Everyone hope to influence the world especially the youth. These five figures affected or even changed the world in different ways, but undeniably not everybody can be the same as they. Nonetheless, it doesn’t means success is determined by great achievements. As an advertisement of Nike says: Find your greatness! A delighted life coupled with a heart of gold is enough for you to be great.
人人都希望自己能够影响世界，青年尤其如此。虽然以上五个人用不同的方式影响甚至改变了世界，但不得不承认的是并不是所有人都能像他们一样。不过，这并不代表不能做大事的人就是失败的人。正如美国体育用品商耐克有一句广告词，即“活出你的伟大”。幸福快乐的生活，做一个善良的人，就已经足够伟大。
