亚马逊 CEO杰夫·贝索斯英语演讲稿
Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts
are easy — they're given after all. Choices canbe hard.
You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not
careful, and if you do, it'll probablybe to the
detriment of your choices.
聪明是一种天赋,而善良是
一种选择。天赋得来很容
易——毕竟它们与生俱来。而选择却颇为艰难。如果一不小
心, 你可能被天赋所诱惑, 这可能会损害到你做出的选择。
As a kid, I spent my summers with my grandparents
on their ranch in Texas. I helped fixwindmills, vaccinate cattle, and do other chores. Wealso watched
soap operas everyafternoon, especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club, a groupof Airstream trailer owners who travel together

在我还是一个孩子的时候,我的夏天总是在德州祖父母
的农场中度过。我帮忙修理风车,为牛接种疫苗,也做其它
家务。每天下午,我们都会看肥皂剧, 尤其是《我们的岁月》 。我 的 祖 父 母 参 加 了 一 个 房 车 俱 乐 部 , 那 是 一 群 驾 驶 Airstream 拖挂型房车的人们, 他们结伴遍游美国和加拿大。每隔几个夏天,我也会加入他们。我们把房车挂在祖父的小
汽车后面,然后加入 300 余名 Airstream 探险者们组成的浩荡队伍。我爱我的祖父母,我崇敬他们,也真心期盼这些旅
程。那是一次我大概十岁时的旅行,我照例坐在后座的长椅上,祖父开着车,祖母坐在他旁边,吸着烟。我讨厌烟味。
At that age, I'd take any excuse to make estimates
and do minor arithmetic. I'd calculate ourgas mileage
figure out useless statistics on things like grocery
spending. I'd been hearing anad campaign about smoking.
I can't remember the details, but basically the ad said,

off of your life: I think it might have been twominutes
per puff. At any rate, I decided to do the math for my
