白領(lǐng)英語晨讀經(jīng)典365 120 Bill Gates’8 Rules to Students
1.Life is not fair,get used to it .
生活是不公平的,要去適應(yīng)它.
2.The world won't care about your self-esteem.The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
這個(gè)世界并不會(huì)在意你的自尊．它指望你在自我感覺良好之前先要有所成就．
３．You will not make 4,000 dollars a year right out of high school .You won't be a vice president with a car phone,until you earn both.
高中剛畢業(yè)你不會(huì)一年掙４萬美元．你不會(huì)成為一個(gè)公司副總裁，并擁有一部裝有電話的汽車，直到你將此職位和汽車電話都掙到手．
４．If you think your teacher is tough ,wait till you get a boss.He doesn't have tenure.
如果你認(rèn)為你的老師嚴(yán)厲，等你有了老板再這樣想．老板可是沒有任期限制的．
５．If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault ,so don't whine about our mistakes,learn from them.
如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的錯(cuò)，所以不要尖聲抱怨我們的錯(cuò)誤，要從中吸取教訓(xùn)．
6.Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now.They got that way from paying your bills,cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are.So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' genernation ,try "delousing" the closet in your own room.
在你出生之前，你的父母并非像他們現(xiàn)在這樣乏味．他們變成今天這個(gè)樣子是因?yàn)檫@些年來他們一直在為你付帳單，給你洗衣服，聽你大談你是如何的酷．所以你想消滅你父母那一輩子中的＂寄生蟲＂來拯救雨林的話，你還是先去清除你房間衣柜里的蟲子吧．
７．Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not .In some schools they have abolished failing grades;they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anthing in real life.
你的學(xué)校也許已經(jīng)不再分優(yōu)等生和劣等生，但生活卻仍在作出類似的區(qū)分．在某些學(xué)校已經(jīng)廢除不及格分，只要你想找到正確答案，學(xué)校就會(huì)給你無數(shù)機(jī)會(huì)．這和現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的任何事情沒有一點(diǎn)相似之處．
８．Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself .Do that on your own time.
生活不分學(xué)期．你并沒有暑假可以休息，也沒有幾位雇主樂于幫助你發(fā)現(xiàn)自我．自己找時(shí)間做吧．
