比爾蓋茨勵(lì)志演講稿
我要感謝哈佛大學(xué)在這個(gè)時(shí)候給我這個(gè)榮譽(yù)。明年,我就要換工作了(注:指從微軟公司退休) 我終于可以在簡(jiǎn)歷上寫(xiě)我有一個(gè)本科學(xué)位,這真是不錯(cuò)啊。
i applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. for my part, im just happy that the crimson has called me harvards most successful dropout.
i guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class i did the best of everyone who failed.
我為今天在座的各位同學(xué)感到高興,你們拿到學(xué)位可比我簡(jiǎn)單多了。哈佛的校報(bào)稱(chēng)我是 哈佛大學(xué)歷史上最成功的輟學(xué)生 。我想這大概使我有資格代表我這一類(lèi)學(xué)生發(fā)言 在所有的失敗者里,我做得最好。
but i also want to be recognized as the guy who got steve ballmer to drop out of business school. im a bad influence.
thats why i was invited to speak at your graduation. if i had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.
但是,我還要提醒大家,我使得 steve ballmer (注:微軟總經(jīng)理)也從哈佛商學(xué)院退學(xué)了。因此,我是個(gè)有著惡劣影響力的人。這就是為什么我被邀請(qǐng)來(lái)在你們的畢業(yè)典禮上演講。如果我在你們?nèi)雽W(xué)歡迎儀式上演講,那么能夠堅(jiān)持到今天在這里畢業(yè)的人也許會(huì)少得多吧。
harvard was just a phenomenal experience for me. academic life was fascinating. i used to sit in on lots of classes i hadnt even signed up for.
and dorm life was terrific. i lived upat radcliffe, in currier house.
there were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew i didnt worry about getting up in the morning.
thats how i came to be the leader of the anti-social group.
we clung to each other as a way of validating our rejection of all those social people.
對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),哈佛的求學(xué)經(jīng)歷是一段非凡的經(jīng)歷。校園生活很有趣,我常去旁聽(tīng)我沒(méi)選修的課。哈佛的課外生活也很棒,我在 radcliffe 過(guò)著逍遙自在 的日子。每天我的寢室里總有很多人一直待到半夜,討論著各種事情。因?yàn)槊總�(gè)人都知道我從不考慮第二天早起。這使得我變成了校園里那些不安分學(xué)生的頭頭,我們互相粘在一起,做出一種拒絕所有正常學(xué)生的姿態(tài)。
radcliffe was a great place to live. there were more women up there, and most of the guys were science-math types.
that combination offered me the best odds, if you know what i mean. this is where i learned the sad lesson that improving your odds doesnt guarantee success.
radcliffe 是個(gè)過(guò)日子的好地方。那里的女生比男生多,而且大多數(shù)男生都是理工科的。這種狀況為我創(chuàng)造了最好的機(jī)會(huì),如果你們明白我的意思�？上У氖�,我正是在這里學(xué)到了人生中悲傷的一課:機(jī)會(huì)大,并不等于你就會(huì)成功。
one of my biggest memories of harvard came in january 1975, when i made a call from currier house to a company in albuquerque that had begun ma-ki-ng the worlds first personal computers.
i offered to sell them software.
我在哈佛最難忘的回憶之一,發(fā)生在 1975 年 1 月。那時(shí),我從宿舍樓里給位于 albuquerque 的一家公司打了一個(gè)電話(huà),那家公司已經(jīng)在著手制造世界上第一臺(tái)個(gè)人電腦。我提出想向他們出售軟件。
i worried that they would realize i was just a student in a dorm and hang up on me. instead they said: were not quite ready, come see us in a month, which was a good thing, because we hadnt written the software yet.
from that moment, i worked day and night on this little extra credit project that marked the end of my college education and the beginning of a remarkable journey with microsoft.
我很擔(dān)心,他們會(huì)發(fā)覺(jué)我是一個(gè)住在宿舍的學(xué)生,從而掛斷電話(huà)。但是他們卻說(shuō): 我們還沒(méi)準(zhǔn)備好,一個(gè)月后你再來(lái)找我們吧。 這是個(gè)好消息,因?yàn)槟菚r(shí) 軟件還根本沒(méi)有寫(xiě)出來(lái)呢。就是從那個(gè)時(shí)候起,我日以繼夜地在這個(gè)小小的課外項(xiàng)目上工作,這導(dǎo)致了我學(xué)生生活的結(jié)束,以及通往微軟公司的不平凡的旅程的開(kāi) 始。
what i remember above all about harvard was being in the midst of so much energy and intelligence. it could be exhilarating, intimidating, sometimes even discouraging, but always challenging.
it was an amazing privilege and though i left early, i was transformed by my years at harvard, the friendships i made, and the ideas i worked on.
不管怎樣,我對(duì)哈佛的回憶主要都與充沛的精力和智力活動(dòng)有關(guān)。哈佛的生活令人愉快,也令人感到有壓力,有時(shí)甚至?xí)械叫箽?但永遠(yuǎn)充滿(mǎn)了挑戰(zhàn)性。生 活在哈佛是一種吸引人的特殊待遇 雖然我離開(kāi)得比較早,但是我在這里的經(jīng)歷、在這里結(jié)識(shí)的朋友、在這里發(fā)展起來(lái)的'一些想法,永遠(yuǎn)地改變了我。
比爾蓋茨勵(lì)志演講稿 [篇2]
idn’t care, but because we didn’t know what to do. if we had known how to help, we would have acted.
此刻在這個(gè)院子里的所有人，生命中總有這樣或那樣的時(shí)刻，目睹人類(lèi)的悲劇，感到萬(wàn)分傷心。但是我們什么也沒(méi)做，并非我們無(wú)動(dòng)于衷，而是因?yàn)槲覀儾恢雷鍪裁春驮趺醋觥Ｈ绻覀冎廊绾巫鍪怯行У�，那么我們就�?huì)采取行動(dòng)。
the barrier to change is not too little caring; it is too much complexity.
改變世界的阻礙，并非人類(lèi)的冷漠，而是世界實(shí)在太復(fù)雜。
to turn caring into action, we need to see a problem, see a solution, and see the impact. but complexity blocks all three steps.
為了將關(guān)心轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)樾袆?dòng)，我們需要找到問(wèn)題，發(fā)現(xiàn)解決辦法的方法，評(píng)估后果。但是世界的復(fù)雜性使得所有這些步驟都難于做到。
even with the advent of the internet and 24-hour news, it is still a complex enterprise to get people to truly see the problems. when an airplane crashes, officials immediately call a press conference. they promise to investigate, determine the cause, and prevent similar crashes in the future.
即使有了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和24小時(shí)直播的新聞臺(tái)，讓人們真正發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題所在，仍然十分困難。當(dāng)一架飛機(jī)墜毀了，官員們會(huì)立刻召開(kāi)新聞發(fā)布會(huì)，他們承諾進(jìn)行調(diào)查、找到原因、防止將來(lái)再次發(fā)生類(lèi)似事故。
but if the officials were brutally honest, they would say: "of all the people in the world who died today from preventable causes, one half of one percent of them were on this plane. we’re determined to do everything possible to solve the problem that took the lives of the one half of one percent."
但是如果那些官員敢說(shuō)真話(huà)，他們就會(huì)說(shuō)：“在今天這一天，全世界所有可以避免的死亡之中，只有0.5%的死者來(lái)自于這次空-難。我們決心盡一切努力，調(diào)查這個(gè)0.5%的死亡原因�！�
the bigger problem is not the plane crash, but the millions of preventable deaths.
顯然，更重要的問(wèn)題不是這次空-難，而是其他幾百萬(wàn)可以預(yù)防的死亡事件。
we don’t read much about these deaths. the media covers what’s new – and millions of people dying is nothing new. so it stays in the background, where it’s easier to ignore. but even when we do see it or read about it, it’s difficult to keep our eyes on the problem. it’s hard to look at suffering if the situation is so complex that we don’t know how to help. and so we look away.
我們并沒(méi)有很多機(jī)會(huì)了解那些死亡事件。媒體總是報(bào)告新聞，幾百萬(wàn)人將要死去并非新聞。如果沒(méi)有人報(bào)道，那么這些事件就很容易被忽視。另一方面，即使 我們確實(shí)目睹了事件本身或者看到了相關(guān)報(bào)道，我們也很難持續(xù)關(guān)注這些事件�？粗耸芸嗍橇钊送纯嗟�，何況問(wèn)題又如此復(fù)雜，我們根本不知道如何去幫助他 人。所以我們會(huì)將臉轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)去。
