TEM8 Translation Mar 2011 SectionAChinesetoEnglish 有一点我发现和我生意上的成功有很大关系 这就是我来到美国之前所接受的价值观 这些价值观和孔子宣扬的一些思想有很多相同之处 孔子的思想强调的是中庸适度 但是我尊重孔子的思想 并不是要把他的思想搬到现代社会 因为除了适度外还有一些东西对成功是至关重要的 这就是耐心 应变 果断 信心 创新思维 社会责任 最后还有运气 重要的是 这些因素相辅相成 不可缺一 虽然它们有的是有矛盾的 如耐心和果断经常矛盾 但很难想象我的任何决定中可以离开得了它们其中一个 SectionBEnglishtoChinese I Ihaveneverhadmuchpatiencewiththewriterswhoclaimfromthereaderanefforttounderstandtheirmeaning

这有一种缺点 甚至是作家必须时刻警惕的危险 既文字有一种魔力 一个思想有了看得见的形状后 变成了具体的东西 它会妨碍作者把它进一步说清楚 不过 这种不清楚很容易与作者故意造成的不清楚混在一起 有些作家思路不清 往往认为自己的思想并不像乍一看那么肤浅 而是具有深刻的含义 认为自己的思想深奥 不可能表达得那么清楚 让什么人都能理解 这是一种虚荣的念头 这样的作家当然不会想到 问题还是出在自己脑子缺乏精确思考的能力 CommentonSectionA I Wording1 SubstitutionofsynonymsChinese morerepetitionEnglish morediverse CommentonSectionA eg 这些价值观和孔子宣扬的一些思想有很多相同之处 孔子的思想强调的是中庸适度 但是我尊重孔子的思想 并不是要把他的思想搬到现代社会
