难怪这场会议能吸引全国各地的股东过来。
It's no wonder that this meeting draws stockholders from all over the country.
而且，尽管今天大家老在谈年龄这个话题，我还是很高兴地说，这个会议是一年比一年更好。
And despite the talk about age today, I'm happy to say this meeting gets better every year.
在美国商界，Berkshire 是独一无二的，它的名字几乎已经成了卓越管理的代名词。
Berkshire stands unique in American business as a company whose name has become synonymous with management excellence.
不像很多美国公司，我们这些股东不用担心重组、大额减记、大规模业务调整、夸大的盈利数字，还有那些拿着高薪、满口战略愿景的高管。
Unlike many American corporations, we as stockholders don't have to worry about reorganizations, large write-offs, massive restructurings, overstated earnings, and overpaid executives with strategic visions.
相反，我们年复一年地享受着 Charlie 和 Warren 的常识判断和才华带来的好处。
Instead, year in and year out, we enjoy the benefits of the common sense and brilliance of Charlie and Warren.

我还想补充一句——我还想补充一句，更别说你们的幽默感了。
I want to add— I want to add to that, to say nothing of your good humor.
像这样持续出色的成绩，很容易让人觉得理所当然，但我们在这个房间里的人，都是他们努力的直接受益者。
It's easy to take such consistently outstanding results for granted, but we in this room are the direct beneficiaries of their efforts.
我们今天来到这里，本身就是在表达对他们卓越表现的感谢，不过我们也可以用另一种方式来表示。
By our presence here today, we show our appreciation to them for their exceptional performance, but we can also demonstrate it in another way.
我想提议，大家用热烈的掌声感谢他们，致敬他们干得这么出色。
I would like to suggest we give them a rousing hand of applause for a job well done.
谢谢。
Thank you.

刚才那位是 Sandy Gottesman。
That was Sandy Gottesman.
我们一起共事三十多年了，他总算把这个练熟了。
We've worked together for 30-odd years, and he's finally got that down.
谢谢你，Sandy。
I appreciate that, Sandy.
那么，我们现在就散会。想留下来的人，十五分钟后我们再开始，然后我们会一直在这儿待到大概一点十五分。
With that, we will adjourn, and anyone who wants to stay around, we'll reconvene in 15 minutes, and then we'll be here till about 1:15.
至于其他各位，外面有巴士、糖果之类的，World Book 也在外面。
And for the rest of you, there's buses, candy, et cetera, World Book's out there.
谢谢。
Thank you.
谢谢。
