名校勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)演講 第26期:如何解決這個(gè)世界上最嚴(yán)重的不平等?
Harvard was a phenomenal experience for me.Academic life was fascinating. I used to sit in on lots ofclasses I hadn't even signed up for. And dorm life wasterrific. I lived up at Radcliffe, in Currier House. Therewere always lots of people in my dorm room late atnight discussing things, because everyone knew I didn'tworry about getting up in the morning. That's how Icame to be the leader of the anti-social group. Weclung 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，我常去旁聽許多我沒(méi)選修的課。在哈佛的宿舍生活也很不錯(cuò)，我當(dāng)時(shí)住在雷迪夫的科里爾公寓。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 weremath-science types. That combination offered me the best odds, if you know what I mean. That'swhere I learned the sad lesson that improving your odds doesn't guarantee success.
雷迪夫是個(gè)生活的好地方。那里的女生比男生多，而且大多數(shù)男生都是理工科的。那種狀況為我創(chuàng)造了最好的機(jī)會(huì)，如果你們明白我的意思。也正是在這里我學(xué)到了人生中令人悲傷的教訓(xùn)：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 CurrierHouse to a company in Albuquerque in New Mexico that had begun making the world's first personalcomputers. I offered to sell them software.
我在哈佛最深刻的回憶發(fā)生在1975年1月。那時(shí)，我從科里爾公寓給位于美國(guó)新墨西哥州阿爾伯克基的一家公司打了一個(gè)電話，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 theysaid: "We're not quite ready, come see us in a month," which was a good thing, because we hadn'twritten the software yet.
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。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。”那是個(gè)好消息，因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)我們根本沒(méi)有寫出軟件。
