<h4><font color="#f70909">比尔-盖茨11条人生箴言</font></h4><div class="hr"></div><p>The 11 things are:<br/><br/> 这11项事情是:<br/><br/> Life is not fair, get<br/><br/> used to it.<br/><br/> 生活是不公平的;要去适应它。<br/><br/> The world won"t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect<br/><br/> you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.<br/><br/> 这世界并不会在意你的自尊。这世界指望你在自我感觉良好之前先要有所成就。<br/><br/> You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won"t be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.<br/><br/> 高中刚毕业你不会一年挣4万美元。你不会成为一个公司的副总裁,并拥有一部装有电话的汽车,直到你将此职位和汽车电话都挣到手。<br/><br/> If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He<br/><br/> doesn"t have tenure.<br/><br/> 如果你认为你的老师严厉,等你有了老板再这样想。老板可是没有任期限制的。<br/><br/> Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents<br/><br/> had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.<br/><br/> 烙牛肉饼并不有损你的尊严。你的祖父母对烙牛肉饼可有不同的定义;他们称它为机遇。<br/><br/> If you mess up, it"s not your parents" fault, so don"t whine about<br/><br/> our mistakes, learn from them.<br/><br/> 如果你陷入困境,那不是你父母的过错,所以不要尖声抱怨我们的错误,要从中吸取教训。<br/><br/> Before you were born, your parents weren"t as boring as they are<br/><br/> now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and<br/><br/> listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest<br/><br/> from the parasites of your parents" generation, try "delousing" the closet in<br/><br/> your own room.<br/><br/> 在你出生之前,你的父母并非像他们现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来他们一直在为你付账单,给你洗衣服,听你大谈你是如何的酷。所以,如果你想消灭你父母那一辈中的"寄生虫"来拯救雨林的话,还是先去清除你房间衣柜里的虫子吧。<br/>Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life<br/><br/> has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they"ll give you as<br/><br/> many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn"t bear the slightest<br/><br/> resemblance to anything in real life.<br/><br/> 你的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生,但生活却仍在作出类似区分。在某些学校已经废除不及格分;只要你想找到正确答案,学校就会给你无数的机会。这和现实生活中的任何事情没有一点相似之处。<br/><br/> Life is not divided into semesters. You don"t get summers off and<br/><br/> very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your<br/><br/> own time.<br/><br/> 生活不分学期。你并没有暑假可以休息,也没有几位雇主乐于帮你发现自我。自己找时间做吧。<br/><br/> Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to<br/><br/> leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.<br/><br/> 电视并不是真实的生活。在现实生活中,人们实际上得离开咖啡屋去干自己的工作。<br/><br/> Be nice to nerds. Chances are you"ll end up working for one.<br/><br/> 善待乏味的人。有可能到头来你会为一个乏味的人工作。<br/></p> |
