我自己也是个 Coke 上瘾的人,所以我很高兴向您这位全球首席推广员汇报,北京的 Coke 喝起来跟 Omaha 的一样美妙。
As a Coke addict myself, I'm excited to report to you, our worldwide promoter-in-chief, that the Cokes in Beijing taste just as wonderful as in Omaha.
我以前当过 Zen 僧人,今天我感觉就像是在拜访金融世界里的 Buddha。
As an ex-Zen monk, today I feel like visiting the Buddha of the financial world.
我们有个投资俱乐部,名字居然是以 .com 结尾的,信不信由你。
We have an investment club with a name that ends in .com, believe it or not.
这就说明,在我们想追随您的时候,dot-com 狂热那个阶段,连 Zen 僧人都被诱惑了。
Which tells you that the frenzy dot-com phase even seduced Zen monks when we tried to follow you.
我们发现,Susan Buffett 女士以前会给她姐妹会的姐妹们寄 Zen Buddhism 的书。
We find that Mrs. Susan Buffett used to send Zen Buddhism books to her sorority sisters.
这大概就是为什么她总是带着一种平静的微笑,因为她对人生的期待很低,而按照 Buddha 的说法,人生本来就充满苦难。
That's probably why she always has a peaceful smile due to her low expectation of life, which according to Buddha is full of sufferings.
不过 Munger 先生会告诉我,Susan 的微笑是因为您这个做丈夫的,超出了她原本很低的预期。
But Mr. Munger would tell me that Susan's smile is because you, as the husband, exceeded her low expectations.
没错。
That's right.
对。
Yeah.
还有她父亲更低的预期。
And her father's even lower expectations.
总之,我的问题是,Susan 也把那些 Zen 的书寄到过您的办公室,还是您的卧室呢?
Anyway, my question is, did Susan also send those Zen books to your office or your bedroom?
如果您读过那些书,那么其中哪些核心思想对您的投资之道有帮助,甚至让像我这样与世隔绝、心胸狭窄的 Zen 僧人也觉得很有道理?
And if you have read those books, what are the key ideas that contributed to your investment Tao, which even made sense to secluded, narrow-minded Zen monks like me?
感谢您今天给我们带来的金融启迪。
Thanks for the financial enlightenment you've given us today.
谢谢。
Thank you.
我把那些书转送给 Charlie 了,所以这个问题我让他来回答。
I sent those books on to Charlie, so I'll let him answer.

其实,我更倾向于是 Confucius 的追随者。
Actually, I tend to be a follower of Confucius.
而且我觉得,这个房间里充满了 Confucian 的价值观。
And I think this room is full of Confucian values.
你知道,如果 Confucianism 的第一条法则是孝,尤其是对年长的男性尽孝,那你就明白我为什么喜欢这个体系了。
You know, if the first law of Confucianism is filial piety, particularly toward elderly males, you can see why I like that system.
