励志演讲 :艰难的抉择(2)

Now of course sure Sloanes, so you know it's also really important it's all about the numbers, absolutely; it's all about the technology without a doubt. But only people can build products and produce numbers. And so I decided to write that book. Now if you decide to read the book which I, of course, hoped you will. You will find that the first thing I deal with in this book, in the very first two pages, is the fact that I got fired. It was, of course, a hugely public event. It made headlines alt over the world. It causes lots of people still to say. "Gosh, you failed." By the way I don't think I failed, I do think that I was fired. But we will come to that in a moment. But I decided I had to start with that, because if I could not deal with that, most public of events, in an authentic way, the reader wouldn't believe the rest of the book. And so I start with that.

你们是斯隆的学生,当然知道这是十分重要的,生意绝对是关乎数字,生意也无疑是关乎科技的。但是只有人才能造就产品和带来数据,所以我决定写这本书。如果你打算看这本书——我当然希望如此,你将会发现我在这本书的前两页就提到我被辞退。这已是众人皆知的事情,是全球的头条新闻。人们依然在说“天哪,你失败了!” 顺便说一下,我不认为我失败了,我是被解雇了。我们过会儿再谈论这一问题。当时,我决定将此作为这本书的幵头,因为如果我不说明白这件大家都知晓的事情,读者就不会相信书中的其他内容。所以我以此幵头。

What happened and how I felt and how I got up the next day and went on. I do spend a chapter talking about my time at MIX. Because my time here made a big difference, and I want to just talk to about three classes that I took here, because they are, they made being impact on me. By the way, you know, I loved, actually maybe four classes.

—开始我就说了发生了什么事、我的感受以及后来发生了什么。我用一章的篇幅叙述了我在麻省理工的曰子,因为在这里的日子对我影响深远。 其中,我谈到了对我有重大影响的三门课程。顺便说一下,其实我喜欢的大概有四门课。

重点讲解:

1. without a doubt

eg. The refugees, without a doubt, are the most vulnerable.

难民无疑是最易受到伤害的。

eg. Without a doubt these theories were all wrong.

毫无疑问这些理论是完全错误的。

2. start with

(从…)开始;(从…)着手;

eg. Let's start with the more easily addressable issues.

我们先从较容易处理的问题着手。

eg. Dinner starts with a small dish, which is often called a starter. Some.

宴会开始,先上一盘小菜,这通常叫做开胃菜。

3. make a difference

有…影响;起…作用;

eg. Where you live can make such a difference to the way you feel.

住在哪里会极大地影响你的感受。

eg. What you have told me may make a difference to my own position.

你告诉我的一切,可能影响我自己的看法。
