In his book, Bill Gates talks about how feelgood, politically-correct teachings created a full generation of kids <FONT color=#000099>with</FONT> no concept of reality and how this education <FONT color=#000099>set</FONT> them up <FONT color=#000099>for</FONT> failure in the real world. <BR> 在比尔·盖茨写给高中毕业生和大学毕业生的书里,有一个单子上面列有11项学子没能在学校里学到的事情。比尔·盖茨在书中谈到让你感觉良好的"政治上正确"的教导培养出一整代不知现实为何物的年轻人,这种教育只能导致他们成为现实世界中的失败者。 <BR><BR><BR><BR>The 11 things are: <BR><BR>这11项事情是: <BR><BR><BR>1. Life is not fair, get used <FONT color=#000099>to</FONT> it. <BR><BR>1. 生活是不公平的;要去适应它。 <BR><BR><BR>2. The world won"t care about your selfesteem. The world will expect you <FONT color=#000099>to</FONT> accomplish something before you feel good about yourself. <BR><BR>2.这世界并不会在意你的自尊。这世界指望你在自我感觉良好之前先要有所成就。 <BR><BR><BR>3. You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won"t be a vice president <FONT color=#000099>with</FONT> a car phone, until you earn both. <BR><BR>3.高中刚毕业你不会一年挣4万美元。你不会成为一个公司的副总裁,并拥有一部装有电话的汽车,直到你将此职位和汽车电话都挣到手。 <BR><BR><BR>4. <FONT color=#000099>If</FONT> you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn"t have tenure. <BR><BR>4.如果你认为你的老师严厉,等你有了老板再这样想。老板可是没有任期限制的。 <BR><BR><BR>5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word <FONT color=#000099>for</FONT> burger flipping; they called it opportunity. <BR><BR>5.烙牛肉饼并不有损你的尊严。你的祖父母对烙牛肉饼可有不同的定义;他们称它为机遇。 <BR><BR><BR>6. <FONT color=#000099>If</FONT> you mess up, it"s not your parents" fault, so don"t whine about our mistakes, learn from them. <BR><BR>6.如果你陷入困境,那不是你父母的过错,所以不要尖声抱怨我们的错误,要从中吸取教训。 <BR><BR><BR>7. Before you were born, your parents weren"t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening <FONT color=#000099>to</FONT> you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents" generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room. <BR><BR>7.在你出生之前,你的父母并非像他们现在这样乏味。他们变成今天这个样子是因为这些年来他们一直在为你付账单,给你洗衣服,听你大谈你是如何的酷。所以,如果你想消灭你父母那一辈中的"寄生虫"来拯救雨林的话,还是先去清除你房间衣柜里的虫子吧。 <BR><BR><BR>8. Your school may have done away <FONT color=#000099>with</FONT> winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they"ll give you as many times as you want <FONT color=#000099>to</FONT> get the right answer. This doesn"t bear the slightest resemblance <FONT color=#000099>to</FONT> anything in real life. <BR><BR>8.你的学校也许已经不再分优等生和劣等生,但生活却仍在作出类似区分。在某些学校已经废除不及格分;只要你想找到正确答案,学校就会给你无数的机会。这和现实生活中的任何事情没有一点相似之处。 <BR><BR><BR>9. Life is not divided into semesters. You don"t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. <FONT color=#000099>Do</FONT> that on your own time. <BR><BR>9.生活不分学期。你并没有暑假可以休息,也没有几位雇主乐于帮你发现自我。自己找时间做吧。 <BR><BR><BR>10. Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have <FONT color=#000099>to</FONT> leave the coffee shop and go <FONT color=#000099>to</FONT> jobs. <BR><BR>10.电视并不是真实的生活。在现实生活中,人们实际上得离开咖啡屋去干自己的工作。 <BR><BR><BR>11. Be nice <FONT color=#000099>to</FONT> nerds. Chances are you"ll <FONT color=#000099>end</FONT> up working <FONT color=#000099>for</FONT> one. <BR><BR>11.善待乏味的人。有可能到头来你会为一个乏味的人工作。 <BR>
