TED演讲之败中求胜 犯错的价值(9)

But, you know, our stories are like this because our lives are like this.

但,故事会这样写是因为人生就是这样。

We think this one thing is going to happen and something else happens instead.

我们以为某些事情会这样发生,发生的却是其它事。

George Bush thought he was going to invade Iraq, find a bunch of weapons of mass destruction,

乔治·布什以为他入侵伊拉克会找到大规模毁灭性武器,

liberate the people and bring democracy to the Middle East.

解放中东百姓,为他们带来民主自由。

And something else happened instead.

但却不是这样。

And Hosni Mubarak thought he was going to be the dictator of Egypt for the rest of his life,

胡斯尼·穆巴拉克以为他到死都会是埃及的独裁者,

until he got too old or too sick and could pass the reigns of power onto his son.

一直到他年老或卧病,再把他的权力交给下一代。

And something else happened instead.

但却不是这样。

And maybe you thought you were going to grow up and marry your high school sweetheart

或许你想过你会长大、嫁给你的初恋情人,

and move back to your hometown and raise a bunch of kids together.

搬回老家,生一群孩子。

And something else happened instead.

但却不是这样。

And I have to tell you that I thought I was writing an incredibly nerdy book

我必须说,我以为我写的是一本很冷僻的书,

about a subject everybody hates for an audience that would never materialize.

有关一个人人讨厌的主题,为一些从不存在的读者。

And something else happened instead.

但却不是这样。
