比尔盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿
president bok, former president rudenstine, ining 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，监管理事会的各位理事，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 e back and get my degree.
有一句话我等了三十年，现在终于可以说了： “ 老爸，我总是跟你说，我会回来拿到我的学位的! ”
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，我就要换工作了(注：指从微软公司退休) …… 我终于可以在简历上写我有一个本科学位，这真是不错啊。 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同学感到高兴，你们拿到学位可比我简单多了。哈佛的校报称我是 “ 哈佛大学历史上最成功的辍学生 ” 。我想这大概使我有资格代表我这一类学生发言 …… 在所有的失败者里，我做得最好。
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.
但是，我还要提醒大家，我使得 steve ballmer (注：微软总经理)也从哈佛商学院退学了。因此，我是个有着恶劣影响力的人。这就是为什么我被邀请来在你们的毕业典礼上演讲。如果我在你们入学欢迎仪式上演讲，那么能够坚持到今天在这里毕业的人也许会少得多吧。
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
