 今天分享一句节选自亚马逊创始人贝索斯于2010年在其母校普林斯顿大学演讲中的一句话。贝索斯的这个演讲名为《抵抗天赋的诱惑》。演讲中,他讲述了自己孩童时期和祖父母渡过的时光,并且引出了“善良比聪明更难”这一观点。


确实,聪明与天赋乃是天生,而善良则是一个人在面对他人时所做的选择。而面对选择的时候,我们内心的挣扎要远远难于,大于我们天赋所给予我们的本能。但你最终的人生确是由种种的选择所组合成的一种经历。今天我们就来分享一下这句话。
核心单词:
reflection n. 思考;
He paused, absorbed by his reflections.
他停下来,陷入了沉思。
version n. 版本;译文,译本;
Yesterday afternoon the White House put out a new version of events
昨天下午,白宫对事件给出了另一种说法。
compact adj. 紧凑的;小巧易携带的;(物质)致密的;
He was compact, probably no taller than me
他矮小壮实,可能并不比我高。
贝索斯名言
When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating 1 for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful, will be the series of choices you have made.
翻译
在你们80岁时某个追忆往昔的时刻,只有你一个人静静对内心诉说着你的人生故事,其中最为充实、最有意义的那段讲述,会被你们作出的一系列决定所填满。

v.故事( narrate的现在分词 )
