下午好,Munger 先生,还有 Buffett 先生。
Good afternoon, Mr. Munger and Mr. Buffett.
我叫季文燕,我来自中国。
My name is Ji Wenyan and I come from China.
这是我第一次来参加这个会,我觉得自己非常幸运,能有机会提一个问题。
It's my first time to come to this meeting and I think I'm very lucky to have a chance to ask a question.

谢谢。
Thank you.
每个人都有自己的梦想,在不同的年龄,也许梦想也会不一样。
Everyone has personal dreams, and at different ages, maybe dreams will come differently.
那您现在的梦想是什么呢?
And what's your dream now?

Charlie 不会让你这么轻易过关的。
Charlie won't let you through.
我刚刚没太听清。
I didn't quite hear that.

有时候我特别爱幻想的时候,就会想,唉,要是能再回到九十岁就好了。
Sometimes when I'm especially wishful, I think, oh, to be 90 again.
我也想给年轻人一点建议。
And I got some advice for the young.
如果你有什么真的特别想做的事,别等到自己九十三岁了。
If you've got anything you really want to do, don't wait till you're 93.
不,现在就去做。
No, do it.

对,这也是我会告诉学生的话,就是你不一定第一次、第二次就能找到,但当你走向社会的时候,要去找那种——哪怕你并不需要一份工作,你也愿意去做的工作。
No, that's the same thing I would tell students, is that you can't always find it the first time or the second time, but when you go out in the world, look for the job that you would take if you didn't need a job.
我的意思是,别把这种事往后拖。
I mean, don't postpone that sort of thing.
有个人,我想应该是 Kierkegaard,说过一句话:人生必须向后理解,但必须向前生活。
Somebody, I think it was Kierkegaard, said that life must be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.
你总得稍微—— Charlie 说,他唯一想知道的,就是自己会死在哪里,这样他就永远不去那个地方。
And you wanna sort of— Charlie says all he wants to know is where he'll die, so he'll never go there.
所以在人生里,你确实得做一点这种反向推演。
And so you do wanna do a certain amount of reverse engineering in life.
我是说,这并不是说所有事情都能这么做,但你真的要想一想,等你老了以后,回看自己的人生,什么会让你感觉良好;至少大体上,你要朝那个方向走。
I mean, that doesn't mean you can do everything that way, but you really wanna think about what will make you feel good, uh, when you get older about your life, and you at least generally want to keep going in that direction.
还有,你知道,人生里你需要一点运气,而且一路上也得接受有些不好的事情就是会发生。
And, and, you know, you need some luck in life, and you got to accept some bad things that are going to happen as you go along.
不过,我和 Charlie 的人生对我们实在是太好了,所以我们没什么可抱怨的。
But, but life has been awfully good to me and Charlie, so we have no complaints.

你最不想变成的,就是那种人——给他办葬礼的时候,牧师说,现在该有人站出来,给这位逝者说点好话了。
What you don't want to be is like the man, and they held his funeral, and the minister said, now is the time for somebody to say something nice about the deceased.
结果没有一个人站出来。
And nobody came forward.
还是没有一个人站出来。
And nobody came forward.
他说,总该有人能给这位逝者说点好话吧。
He said, surely somebody can say something nice about the deceased.
结果还是没有一个人站出来。
And nobody came forward.
最后终于有一个人走过来,他说,嗯,他说他兄弟的情况更糟。
And finally one man came up and he said, well, he said, his brother was worse.

对。
Yeah.
