The dead don’t stay where they are buried.

These young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.

To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know.

活着就是被标记。活着就是改变，获得故事的话语，这是我们凡人真正知道的唯一庆祝。

计算机是最终的污染者：其粪便与所生产的食物没有区别。

The computer is the ultimate polluter: its feces are indistinguish- able from the food it produces.

Now I want to take this opportunity to give you some advice. Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair, you will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve, and that are not always warranted, but you have to put your head down, and FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Never ever ever give up, things will work out just fine. Look at the way I've been treated lately, especially by the media. No politician in history, and I say this is great surety, has been treated worse, more unfairly. You can't let them get you down, you can't let the critics, and the naysayers get in the way of your dream. I guess that's why I won, thank you. I guess that's why we won. Adversity makes you stronger, don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing, ever ever ever came easy, and the more righteous you fight, the more opposition that you will face. I've accomplished a tremendous amount, in a very short time as president.

现在，我想趁这个给机会，给大家一些人生经验。漫漫人生路啊，你会发现并不总是公平的，你也会发现本不属于你的不可承受之重，却重重地压在你的身上，而且这些并非合理。但是，你必须低下头，并且抗争！抗争！抗争！永远永远不要放弃，一切终将变好。看看我是怎么被对待的，尤其是媒体对我的攻击。历史上没有一个政治家，我非常肯定地说，比我受到过更糟，更不公平的待遇。但是，你不能被他们打败，在你的人生的追梦路上，你不能被批评者和否定者绊住脚步。我想这就是为什么我赢了，谢谢，我想这就是为什么我们胜利了。逆境让你变得更加强大，不要屈服，不要退缩，不要停止做你认为正确的事情，一切值得做的事情。必定要经历诸多磨难，你所做的事情越正义，你受到的阻力就越大。我已经取得了巨大的成就，在很短的时间内成为了总统。

陌生人与我们接近，因为我们在他们和我们自己之间感受到民族、社会、职业或普遍人性的共同特征。他们远离我们，因为这些共同特征超越了他们或我们，并且仅仅因为它们连接了许多人而连接了我们。

The stranger is close to us, insofar as we feel between him and ourselves common features of a national, social, occupational, or generally human, nature. He is far from us, insofar as these common features extend beyond him or us, and connect us only because they connect a great many people.

The most important actions are never comfortable.

道家哲学的核心是‘自然’，而儒家的核心是‘仁义’。

The value of an auction lies not just in the revenue it generates, but in the efficiency of the allocation.

拍卖的价值不仅在于产生的收益，还在于分配的效率。

To write is to confront the ghosts of the past and the uncertainties of the future.

写作是面对过去的幽灵和未来的不确定性。
