Lisa Su Address to MIT Class of 2026

章节 1：苏姿丰回忆 MIT 求学：从本科研究到爱上半导体

📝 本节摘要：

AMD CEO 苏姿丰在 MIT 2026 届毕业典礼上致辞。她回忆自己 1986 年 17 岁入学 MIT，在 6.001、6.002 课程中初尝挑战，第一次通宵学习。她讲到本科研究机会计划（UROP）如何改变了她的人生：在 Hank Smith 教授的实验室首次穿上无尘服制作器件，实验屡屡失败又不断调整，由此爱上半导体。此后她在博士导师 Dimitri Antoniadis 指导下学会解决问题，从新手研究生成长为能做出原创贡献的研究者。

[原文] [Lisa Su]: All right. Good afternoon, everyone. President Reif, Chairman Gorenberg, trustees, faculty, family, friends, and most importantly, the MIT Class of 2026: congratulations.

[译文] [Lisa Su]: 好的，大家下午好。Reif 校长、Gorenberg 主席、各位董事、老师、家人和朋友们，还有最重要的——麻省理工学院（MIT）2026 届的毕业生们：恭喜你们！

[原文] [Lisa Su]: You've earned this, and I can tell you that standing here feels very different than I expected. I've given a lot of talks over the years, but this one is quite personal. And as you can imagine, with Murphy's Law, I somehow managed to lose my voice this week. So please bear with me if I sound a little rough. But I couldn't be happier to be here with you. And if I give you a little bit of my story: I came to MIT in the fall of 1986.

[译文] [Lisa Su]: 这是你们应得的。说实话，站在这里的感觉和我预想的很不一样。这些年我做过很多演讲，但这一场对我来说格外有个人意义。而且你们也能想到，墨菲定律又应验了——我偏偏这周把嗓子弄哑了。所以如果我声音有点沙哑，还请多包涵。不过能和大家在一起，我真的再高兴不过了。先跟大家讲讲我的故事吧：我是 1986 年秋天来到 MIT 的。

[原文] [Lisa Su]: My parents dropped me off at Next House.

[译文] [Lisa Su]: 我父母把我送到了 Next House 宿舍楼。

[原文] [Lisa Su]: I was 17 years old, born in Taiwan, raised in Queens, and I was pretty sure I was good at math. Then, of course, I walked into 6.001 and 6.002. And within about two weeks, I realized that there were a lot of people at MIT who were very, very good at math. And I remember staring at those first problem sets thinking, "My goodness, these are super hard." And I'd never really pulled an all-nighter until freshman year. It was a new experience, but it was a lot of fun doing it together with your classmates.

[译文] [Lisa Su]: 那年我 17 岁，生在台湾，长在纽约皇后区，一直觉得自己数学挺好。结果，不出所料，我走进了 6.001 和 6.002 的课堂。大概不到两周，我就意识到 MIT 有太多数学非常非常厉害的人。我还记得盯着最初那几份习题集，心想：「天哪，这也太难了。」在大一之前，我从没真正熬过通宵。那是一种全新的体验，但和同学们一起熬，其实特别有意思。

[原文] [Lisa Su]: Now, MIT has this incredible way of pushing you further than you thought you could go. You wrestled with the problem. You blew up a circuit or two. Yes, some of you may have. And then somehow the thing worked. And suddenly you realized that you could build something real. And that's when I started feeling like an engineer. One of the best parts of MIT is actually UROP: the opportunity as an undergraduate to work on real research. And that actually truly changed my life. My first UROP was in Professor Hank Smith's lab in Building 39, which Anantha tells me we're decommissioning and moving.

[译文] [Lisa Su]: MIT 有一种神奇的力量，能把你推到比你自以为的极限更远的地方。你和难题死磕，烧坏过一两块电路——没错，在座有些人可能真干过。然后不知怎么的，东西居然就成了。那一刻你突然意识到，自己能造出真正的东西。也正是从那时起，我开始觉得自己是个工程师了。MIT 最棒的事情之一，其实是本科生研究机会计划（UROP）：让本科生有机会参与真正的科研。它真的改变了我的人生。我的第一个 UROP 项目是在 Hank Smith 教授位于 39 号楼的实验室——Anantha 告诉我，这栋楼要停用搬迁了。

[原文] [Lisa Su]: Making X-ray lithography mask blanks for a grad student. To be absolutely clear, at the time I had no idea what that actually meant. But I got to put on my first bunny suit and walk into a clean room and start building devices on little 2-inch wafers, which at the time was pretty state of the art. And I learned very quickly to be careful, because those wafers were actually really delicate, and I definitely didn't want to be the one who broke them. But I ran a bunch of experiments.

[译文] [Lisa Su]: 我的工作是给一位研究生制作 X 射线光刻掩模坯。说得再明白一点：当时我完全不知道这到底是什么意思。但我第一次穿上了「兔子服」（无尘服），走进洁净室，开始在小小的 2 英寸晶圆上制作器件，那在当时可算是相当前沿的技术。我很快就学会了小心翼翼，因为这些晶圆其实非常脆弱，我可绝不想当那个把它们弄碎的人。不过，我还是做了一大堆实验。

[原文] [Lisa Su]: Most of them didn't work the way we expected. And so we adjusted and we tried again. And it was the coolest thing ever. For the first time, I wasn't just learning about technology in a classroom; I was part of a team trying to discover something new. And I remember thinking, "Wow. We can build things this small. Things tiny enough to fit on a die the size of a coin, but powerful enough to change the world." And that's when I fell in love with semiconductors. Later, I had the privilege of working with Professor Dimitri Antoniadis, who became my PhD advisor.

[译文] [Lisa Su]: 大多数实验的结果都和我们预想的不一样。于是我们调整方案，再试一次。那简直是世上最酷的事。我第一次不只是在课堂上学习技术，而是作为团队的一员，去探索新的东西。我还记得当时心想：「哇，我们竟然能造出这么小的东西。小到能放进一枚硬币大小的芯片里，却强大到足以改变世界。」就是从那时起，我爱上了半导体。后来，我有幸与 Dimitri Antoniadis 教授共事，他成了我的博士导师。

[原文] [Lisa Su]: And that was where I really learned how to solve problems. I remember spending weeks in the clean room fabricating devices, and then bringing my wafers up to the test lab, only to discover they didn't behave the way I expected at all. And so I'd go back to Dimitri's office, and we'd figure out what we should do next. And looking back, that was probably where I grew the most at MIT. Because little by little, I went from a new grad student learning about the field to someone doing original research and actually contributing something new to the field.

[译文] [Lisa Su]: 正是在那里，我真正学会了如何解决问题。我记得自己常常在洁净室里花上好几周制作器件，然后把晶圆拿到楼上的测试实验室，结果发现它们的表现跟我预期的完全不一样。于是我又回到 Dimitri 的办公室，和他一起琢磨下一步该怎么做。回头看，那大概是我在 MIT 成长最多的阶段。因为一点一点地，我从一个刚入门、还在学习这个领域的研究生，成长为一个做原创研究、真正为这个领域贡献新东西的人。
