比尔盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲 President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates: 尊敬的Bok校长，Rudenstine前校长，即将上任的Faust校长，哈佛集团的各位成员，监管委员会的各位成员，各位老师，各位家长，各位同学： I've been waiting more than 30 years to say this: 'Dad, I always told you I'd come back and get my degree.' 这句话我等了30年，终于可以说了：“爸爸，我一直跟你说我会回来拿到学位的!” I want to thank Harvard for this timely honor. I'll be changing my job next year . and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume. 我要感谢哈佛大学在这个时候给我这个荣誉。明年，我将换工作.我终于可以在简历上写上我的大学学位了。 I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, I'm just happy that the Crimson has called me 'Harvard's most successful dropout.' I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class . I did the best of everyone who failed. 我为今天在座的各位感到高兴。你拿到学位花的时间比我长得多。《哈佛报》称我是“哈佛历史上最成功的辍学生”。我想这可能让我有资格代表我的学生.在所有失败者中，我做得最好。 比尔盖茨在哈佛大学发表演讲 But I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop out of business school. I'm a bad influence. That's why I was invited to speak at your graduation. If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today. 但我也要提醒你们，是我让史蒂夫鲍尔默从哈佛商学院退学的。因此，我是一个有不良影响的人。这就是为什么我被邀请在你们的毕业典礼上演讲。如果我在你们的欢迎仪式上致辞，今天在这里毕业的人就会少得多。 Harvard was just a phenomenal experience for me. Academic life was fascinating. I used to sit in on lots of classes I hadn't even signed up for. And dorm life was terrific. I lived up at Radcliffe, in Currier House. There were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew I didn't worry about getting up in the morning. That's 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. 哈佛对我来说是一段非凡的经历。校园生活很有趣。我经常旁听我没上的课。学校外的生活很棒。我住在雷德克里夫，雷德克里夫 天e68a84e8a2ad7a6431333337626163。总是有很多人在我的宿舍直到午夜，讨论各种各样的事情。因为大家都知道我从来没想过第二天要早起。这使我成为校园里不安分学生的领袖。我们 互相粘在一起，做出拒绝所有正常学生的手势。 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 doesn't guarantee success. 拉德克利夫是一个非常适合居住的地方。那里的女生比男生多，而且大多数男生都是理工科的。这种情况给我创造了最好的机会，如果你明白我的意思。不幸的是，我在这里学到了人生中令人悲伤的一课：机会并不总是保证成功。 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 making the world's first personal computers. I offered to sell them software. 我在哈佛最难忘的回忆之一发生在1975年1月。在宿舍里，我给阿尔伯克基的一家公司打了一个电话，那家公司已经开始制造世界上第一台个人电脑。我提出卖软件给他们。 …
