財富精英勵志演講 第29期:拉里·佩奇：夢想的力量(6)

[00:00.03]So here’s my final story: 以下是我要說的最后一個故事： [00:02.71]On a day like today, 就像今天的某一日， [00:04.97]you might feel exhilarated—like you’ve just been shot out of a cannon at the circus—and even invincible. 你們可能感到欣喜若狂,就像你剛從馬戲團的大炮口被射了出來——甚至更加所向無敵。 [00:12.45]Don’t ever forget that incredible feeling. 絕不要忘了那種難以名狀的美妙感覺。 [00:15.41]But also: always remember that the moments we have with friends and family, 但同時，也要永遠記住和親朋好友相聚的時刻， [00:20.37]the chances we have to do things that might make a big difference in the world, 記住我們得做些可能會為世界帶來巨變的事情的機會， [00:24.26]or even to make a small difference to the ones we love— 或者只是為你所愛的人帶來小變化的機會—— [00:28.01]all those wonderful chances that life gives us, life also takes away. 所有生活給予我們美好機會，也能將它們帶走。 [00:32.66]It can happen fast and a whole lot sooner than you think. 世事瞬息萬，比你設(shè)想的要快得多。 [00:37.10]In late March 1996, 1996年3月下旬， [00:38.92]soon after I had moved to Stanford for grad school, 就在我到斯坦福上研究生院不久， [00:42.06]my Dad had difficulty breathing and drove to the hospital. 我爸爸呼吸出現(xiàn)困難，被送到醫(yī)院。 [00:46.20]Two months later, he died. 兩個月后，他去世了。 [00:48.19]I was completely devastated. 我當時幾近崩潰了。 [00:52.53]Many years later, after a startup, after falling in love, and after so many of life’s adventures, 許多年以后，在我重新振作后，在我談戀愛后，在我體驗了如此多的人生經(jīng)歷后， [01:00.37]I found myself thinking about my Dad. 我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己總是想起我的爸爸。 [01:03.50]Lucy and I were far away in a steaming hot village walking through narrow streets. 一次，露西和我在一個偏遠酷熱的村莊散步，走在狹窄的街道上。 [01:09.34]There were wonderful friendly people everywhere, 那里的村民都熱情好客， [01:12.02]but it was a desperately poor place — 但那是一個一貧如洗的地方—— [01:14.50]people used the bathroom inside and it flowed out into the open gutter and straight into the river. 人們在室內(nèi)上完廁所后，糞便順著露天的水溝，徑直流進河里。 [01:20.40]We touched a boy with a limp leg, the result of paralysis from polio. 我們還認識了一個由于患小兒麻痹癥導致腿瘸的小男孩。 [01:27.54]Lucy and I were in rural India — one of the few places where Polio still exists. 這些是我和露西在印度農(nóng)村的親眼所見——那里至今仍是少數(shù)幾個存在小兒麻痹癥的地方之一。 [01:35.10]Polio is transmitted fecal to oral, usually through filthy water, 小兒麻痹癥是通過排泄物，通常是臟水傳播到口腔。 [01:40.24]Well, my Dad had Polio. 嗯，我父親也患有小兒麻痹癥。 [01:43.11]He went on a trip to Tennessee in the first grade and he caught it. 他是在讀一年級的時候，在去田納西州旅行時染上的。 [01:47.20]He was hospitalized for two months and had to be transported by military DC-3 back home — his first flight 住院兩個月后，醫(yī)生用軍用DC-3飛機把他送回家，這也是父親第一次乘坐飛機。 [01:53.49]My Dad wrote, “Then I had to stay in bed for over a year, before I started back to school”. 父親曾這樣回憶道：“在我重返學校之前，不得不臥床一年多。” [02:00.28]That is actually a quote from his fifth grade autobiography. 這是他小學五年級的日記中寫的一段話。 [02:04.51]My Dad had difficulty breathing his whole life, 父親生前在呼吸上一直有問題， [02:07.21]and the complications of Polio are what took him from us too soon. 這其實就是小兒麻痹的并發(fā)癥，這種并發(fā)癥讓父親早早地離開了我們。 [02:12.38]He would have been very upset that Polio still persists even though we have a vaccine. 如果他知道即使有疫苗，小兒麻痹癥仍然存在，他會非常苦惱。 [02:17.30]He would have been equally upset that back in India we had polio virus on our shoes from walking through the contaminated gutters that spread the disease. 如果他知道在回到印度時，我們的鞋因為行走過那些傳播這種疾病的水溝而沾染了病毒，他同樣也會苦惱不已。 [02:25.12]We were spreading the virus with every footstep, right under beautiful kids playing everywhere. 我們又通過走路將病毒傳播出去，就在可愛的孩子們玩耍的地方。 [02:32.50]The world is on : the verge of eliminating polio, with 328 people infected so far. 全世界在預(yù)防小兒麻痹癥方面已取得了顯著成效，到目前為止，今年僅有328名患者。 [02:39.53]Let’s get it evadicated soon. 讓我們盡快消滅它吧。 [02:41.13]Perhaps one of you will do that. 也許你們中有人可以做到。
