下午好,Warren、Charlie、John。
Good afternoon, Warren, Charlie, John.
我是来自 Iowa 州 West Des Moines 的 Norwood。
Norwood from West Des Moines, Iowa.
你们几个膀胱可真够铁的。
You guys have iron bladders.

这个秘密我们可不会告诉你。
We won't tell you the secret of that.

我刚才还在想,桌子底下是不是有什么装置。
I was wondering about a contraption under the table there.
M2
M20:18
没有,没有。
Nope, nope.
你可以下来检查一下。
You can come down and inspect.

好吧。
All right.
嘿,我想分别问你们每个人一个问题。
Hey, I had a question for each.
Warren,我很幸运,应该是在二零一一年问过你一个关于 legacy 的问题。
Warren, I was fortunate to ask you a question, I think in 2011, about legacy.
就是一百年以后,你希望自己因为什么被人们记住;我也有点好奇,想听听 Charlie 希望自己因为什么被记住。
What you wanted to be known for 100 years from now, and I'm kind of curious to hear what Charlie would like to be known for.
还有,Warren,我今年五十二岁,所以我想,你开始做这个的时候差不多就是我出生的时候。我也挺想听听,你对第一次 annual meeting 有什么回忆。
And Warren, I'm 52, so I guess you started doing this when I was born, and I'm kind of interested in a memory from your first annual meeting.

我最先想到的一段回忆是,既然 Warren 提到这个话题——有人问他,希望大家在他的葬礼上怎么评价他,他说,我希望他们都在说,这是我见过看起来最老的一具尸体。
My first memory, when Warren got on this subject, when they asked him what he wanted said at his funeral, he said, I want them to all be saying, that's the oldest-looking corpse I ever saw.

这可能是我说过最聪明的一句话了。
And that may be the smartest thing I ever said.
至于我嘛,这事很简单。
Well, with me, it's very simple.
我是说,我真的很喜欢教别人。
I mean, I really like teaching.
所以基本上,我这一辈子一直都在做这件事,正式地做,也可以说有点非正式地做。
So basically, I've been doing it formally, and you can say somewhat informally, all my life.
而且我肯定是遇到过你能想象到的最好的老师。
And I certainly had the greatest teachers you can imagine.
所以如果有人觉得,我在教人这件事上做得还不错,那我会感觉非常好。
So if somebody thought that I did a decent job of teaching, I'd feel very good about that.
M3
M31:40
对,这会让教书这件事变得能忍受一些。
Yeah, it makes the teaching endurable.
这里头得带一点耍贫嘴、带点小机灵,我们俩正好都能提供这个。
It has to have a bit of wiseassery in it, and that we've both been able to supply.
M2
M21:52
还有,对那些老资格的篮球迷,我顺便提一句,据说 Wilt Chamberlain 的墓碑上本来要写的是:终于,我可以一个人睡了。
And for those of you who are old-time basketball fans, I might mention that on Wilt Chamberlain's tomb, it was reputed that it was going to say, at last I sleep alone.
好,九号提问点。
Okay, station 9.
