退學之后掙個一兩百萬己經(jīng)成為了年輕創(chuàng)業(yè)者的標簽。人?們感到很驚訝,退學之后成為富翁的人數(shù)是如此之多。史?蒂夫?喬布斯僅在里德學院上了一個學期就退學,之后成?為了美國最有影響力的企業(yè)家之一;比爾?蓋茨退學之后?創(chuàng)立了自己的軟件公司,并成為微軟的首席執(zhí)行官;馬克??扎克伯格從哈佛大學退學,專心致力于自己的項目,創(chuàng)?立了臉書公司。確實,這些億萬富翁都在高等教育階段退?學,而且賺了很多錢,但他們是例外,并非常規(guī)。需要注?意的是退學并不是使他們致富的原因,勤奮、專注和熱情
才是他們成功的秘訣。因此,上學并獲得學位是非常重要?的。當然了,除非你有能夠改變一個行業(yè)的絕妙想法,并?且即使沒有學位就擁有所需要的技能,那樣的話,就大膽?地退學創(chuàng)業(yè)吧。而事實是,很多退學的人都不如那些擁有?學位的人成功。
Text A:Translation: Task 2
In recent years, the social development and changes in employment situation have put higher requirements on college students. Instead of confining themselves to the knowledge in books, more and more college students are stepping out of the "Ivory Tower" and taking an active part in social practice in their spare time. Through social practice, college students can have a deeper understanding of society, increase their sense of social responsibility, and improve their analytical and problem-solving abilities. Meanwhile, taking part in social practice can also help students recognize their own shortcomings and have a clear idea about where they are to go in the future. All these benefits will help them build up social and work experience, which will lay a solid foundation for them in finding jobs or starting their own businesses in the future.
