He arrived at Yale Law School looking more like a Viking than a Rhodes Scholar returning from two years at Oxford. He was tall and handsome somewhere beneath that reddish brown beard and curly mane of hair. He also had a vitality that seemed to shoot out of his pores. When I first saw him in the law schools student lounge, he was holding forth before a rapt audience of fellow student.1970 年秋天，你想不注意比尔. 克林顿也不容易。他来到耶鲁大学法学院时，看上去像一个北欧海盗，而不像一个在牛津大学呆了两年后回国的罗兹奖学金获得者。他身材高大，他那棕红色的胡子和卷曲而浓密的头发使他显得很帅气。他浑身充满了活力。当我第一次在法学院的学生休息室里见到他时，他正对着一帮全神贯注的同学滔滔不绝地讲着什么。2、 The way Bill tells the story, he couldnt remember his own name.在比尔讲述这段事情的版本中，他说他当时都想不起来自己叫什么名字了。3、 To this day, he can astonish me with the connections he weaves between ideas and words and how he makes it all sound like music.直到现在我还常为他敏捷的思维和恰如其份的用词，以及他如何能够将要表达的思想说得那么动听而感到惊讶不已。4、 One of the first things I noticed about Bill was the shape of his hands. His wrists are narrow and his fingers tapered and deft, like those of a pianist or a surgeon. When we first met as students, I loved watching him turn the pages of a book. Now his hands are showing signs of age after thousands of handshakes and golf swings and miles of signatures. They are, like their owner, weathered but still expressive, attractive and resilient.我首先注意到的是比尔的手的形状。他的手腕不粗，手指修长而灵巧，就像一双钢琴家或外科医生的手。学生时代我们第一次见面时，我就喜欢他用手翻书的样子。如今他的手已因成千上万次的握手、打高尔夫球和无数次的签名而增添了岁月的痕迹。它们和他们的主人一样，虽经历风雨却依然充满表现力、魅力与活力。5、 I still didnt know where I would live and what I would do because my interests in child advocacy and civil rights didnt dictate a particular path.我还不知道自己将来会住在哪里和要做什么，因为我在儿童权益促进和民权方面的兴趣尚未为我指明一条明确的道路。6、 The prospect of driving from one Southern state to another convincing Democrats both to support McGovern and to oppose Nixons policy in Vietnam excited him.一想到能够驾车穿梭在南方各州之间来说服民主党人既支持麦克戈文，又反对尼克松的越战政策就使他非常激动。7、 We both had to work to pay our way through law school, on top of the student loans we had taken out.尽管我们都获得了学生贷款，但是我们俩还是不得不打些工来完成法学院的学习。Lesson51. The product was becoming more important to the companys bottom line, accounting for 45% of the revenue that year, and it was also burnishing the hipness of the companys image in a way that drove sales of Macs.该产品对于苹果公司的营收越发重要，占当年收入的45%。同时，iPod 还带动了Mac 系列的销售，为苹果公司塑造出时髦的企业形象。 2. The conclusion he had come to: “The device that can eat our lunch is the cell phone.” As he explained to the board, the digital camera market was being decimated now that phones were equipped with cameras. 乔布斯得出结论：“能抢我们饭碗的设备是手机。”他向董事会说明，手机都开始备摄像头，数码相机市场正急剧萎缩。 3. It ended up having neither the enticing minimalism of an iPod nor the convenient slimness of a RAZR. Ugly, difficult to load, and with an arbitrary hundred-song limit, it had all the hallmarks of a product that had been negotiated by a committee, which was counter to the way Jobs liked to work.但是，该系列手机既没有iPod 迷人的简约风格，也没有刀锋系列便捷的超薄造型，它外观丑陋，下载困难，只能容纳近百首歌曲。这是典型的委员会讨论之下形成的产品，与乔布斯喜欢的工作方式相悖。 4. Since he often did that on the day new products went on sale, there were some fans hanging out in anticipation, and they greeted him as they would have Moses if he had walked in to buy the Bible.由于乔布斯经常在新产品开始销售的第一天去店里，所以有些粉丝已等在专卖店里期待他的到来，他们跟他打招呼，就好像他们能碰到摩西去买圣经的情形一样。 5. Make the screen five inches by eight inches, and youll rule the world.把屏幕做成5 英寸宽、8 英寸长，世界就是你的了。Lesson71、This Christmas season finds us a rather bewildered human race. We have neither peace within nor peace without. Everywhere paralyzing fears harrow people by day and haunt them by night. Our world is sick war; everywhere we turn we see its ominous possibilities. And yet, my friends, the Christmas hope for peace and goodwill toward all men can no longer be dismissed as a kind of pious dream of some utopian.今年圣诞时节，人们困惑惶恐，内心无法宁静，外部没有和平。无论身置何处，恐慌昼夜萦绕于胸，无论走到哪里，战争的阴霾时时笼罩天空。我们这个世界已烟卷了战争，无论何处都危机四伏。各位教友，即便如此，我们不能把祈求和平、善待众人的基督圣训视作不切实际的虔诚美梦。2、If we dont have goodwill toward men in this world, we will destroy ourselves by the misuse of our own instruments and our own power. Wisdom born of experience should tell us that war is obsolete. There may have been a time when war served as a negative good by preventing the spread and growth of an evil force, but the very destructive power of modern weapons of warfare eliminates even the possibility that war may any longer serve as a negative good.如果不能友善待人，我们所有和所能必将由于使用不当而使我们走向自我毁灭。历史的经验告诉我们，战争早已过时。曾几何时，战争或有以毒攻毒之效，可以遏制邪恶势力的蔓延与发展，然而正是现代战争利器的巨大破坏力，使它再不能被视作匡扶邪恶的正义之举。3、Now let me suggest first that if we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.现在，我首先要说的是，要想世界和平，我们就必须忠于芸芸，而不是忠于一隅。我们的忠心必须超越我们的种族和部落，超越我们的阶层和国家；这就意味着我们必须放眼世界。4、Now let me say, secondly, that if we are to have peace in the world, men and nations must embrace the nonviolent affirmation that ends and means must cohere. One of the great philosophical debates of history has been over the whole question of means and ends. And there have always been those who argued that the end justifies the means, that the means really arent important. The important thing is to get to the end, you see.其次，我呼吁，要实现世界和平，所有众人、所有国家必须坚守非暴力信念，坚信目的、手段必须互渗互连。手段与目的的关系一直是历史上颇有争议的重大哲学问题。总有人认为只要目的正确，可以不择手段，重要的是要达到目的。5、Now let me say that the next thing we must be concerned about if we are to have peace on earth and goodwill toward men is the nonviolent affirmation of the sacredness of all human life. Every man is the somebody because he is a child of God. And so when we say ” Thou shall not kill, ” were really saying that human life is too sacred to be taken on the battlefields of the world. Man is more than a tiny vagary of whirling electrons or wisp of smoke from a limitless smoldering.再之，我要说，若想世界和平、世人和睦，必须以非暴力申明所有人的生命都是神圣的。每个人都很重要，因为他们都是上帝之子，因此，我们说“勿杀生”，是指人的生命是神圣的，不应在战场上被轻易夺走。人的生命远非旋转电子构成的奇妙之物，也不是无尽燃烧的焖火中升起的一缕轻烟。7. At moonrise, as we slow our minds or the pace of the heavens, enchantment steals over us. We open the vents of feeling and exercise parts of our minds that reason locks away by day. We hear, across the di
