《Eternal Love许你一世温柔中英对照版》KaylieLiu

12、Chapter 11: Life Perspectives

　　"This requires a lot of time, and nowadays, people often feel time-constrained. For instance, I work and study during the day, and even on weekends, I maintain a similar routine. Only at night, when my mind isn't nimble, then I handle household chores and other tasks that don't require using my brain. Because doing such tasks at night is usually less efficient, so it's better to use that time to rest and relax. With your accomplishments, why didn't you strive for more back then? Why not become a university lecturer?"

　　“这需要很多时间，现在的人都是时间不够。就比如我，我一般白天都用来工作学习，休息日也如此，只有到晚上，头脑不是很灵活的时候，才用来做一些家务整理等不费脑的事情。因为晚上做费脑的事情往往事倍功半，还不如用来休息放松。你这样的好成绩，为什么当时不冲刺一下？去教个大学？”

　　"After graduating from college, I had no desire to pursue further studies. I felt those four years were wasted, and what I learned was useless."

　　“我大学毕业就不想上学了，大学都是浪费了四年，学的东西都是没用的。”

　　"That might be because you didn't choose the right major, lacked self-awareness, and had an unclear life plan."

　　“你是专业没有选对，对自己认知不够，人生规划不清晰。”

　　"While looking for a job, I met a young guy from Fujian on the train. He had been doing business with relatives since he was a teenager and married a woman pursuing a postgraduate degree. He has assets worth over 20 million, and many bachelor's and master's graduates work for him."

　　“我找工作在火车上遇到一个同龄的福建小伙，人家十几岁就跟着亲戚出来做生意，娶得老婆是在读研究生，资产两千万以上，手底下一大把学士、硕士给他打工。”

　　"He's a successful person, but not everyone can succeed in business. His situation is an exceptional case and not something that can be easily replicated. Many people fail in entrepreneurship, including top students who worked for big companies and had resources, but their own ventures didn't last long and ended up in debt."

　　“那是成功人士，做生意不是每个人都能成功。他这种现象也就是千分之几，不可复制的。多少人创业失败，有些都是高材生，进的是大企业，且在大企业带出来的资源，然后自己开公司都没撑过几年，还负债累累。”

　　"What's the point of being a top student if you lack social experience? I've seen numerous successful entrepreneurs who didn't spend much time in school. Among the people I know, what they learn in school is useless. If the knowledge gained from education were precious, considering the vast number of graduates yearly, there should logically be a significant population of high-income individuals. And there wouldn't be such a large number of unemployed individuals."

　　“高材生有什么用？没有社会经验依然混不开的。我看很多成功的老板都是没上几天学的，我身边起码都是学校里学的都是没用的。如果有用，每年那么多毕业生，那得有多少高收入的人群？哪还能有那么多失业人员？

　　"French philosopher Russell said that human beings are born ignorant but not stupid. Stupidity arose from later education more than two hundred years ago. Even without a strong background, having a skill can still make a difference. However, with a solid background and resources, it's a different story. Education cultivates the labor of the lower class, making them remain at the bottom."

　　法国大哲学家罗素两百多年前就说过人生来只是无知，但并不愚蠢，愚蠢都是后来的教育导致的。没有雄厚的背景，有个技术傍身还是不会差的。有雄厚的背景资源那就另说。教育是培养底层劳役的，就只能待在底层。”

　　"Starting a business has a much lower success rate than getting into a prestigious university through the college entrance exam. Education provides a broad path with guarantees suitable for most people. "

　　“创业成功的率比高考考上名校成功率难多了。教育是大路通天，有保障，适合大多数人。”
