[转]兰迪.波许的最后讲座:真正实现你童年的梦想(中英文对照)13

[Shows slide of Don looking intense] Don is an intense guy. And Don and I shared an office, and at first it was a small office. We shared an office for six years. You know, those of you who know Don know he's an intense guy. And you know, given my current condition, somebody was asking me, this is a terrible joke, but I'm going to use it anyway. Because I know Don will forgive me. Somebody said, given your current condition, have you thought about whether you're going to go to heaven or hell? And I said, I don't know, but if I'm going to hell, I'm due six years for time served! [laughter] I kid. Sharing an office with Don was really like sharing an office with a tornado. There was just so much energy and you never knew which trailer was next, right? But you know something exciting was going to happen. And there was so much energy, and I do believe in giving credit where credit is due. So in my typically visual way, if Don and I were to split the success for the ETC, he clearly gets the lion's share of it. [Shows image of a pie chart divided 70/30 (Don/Randy) ] He did the lion's share of the work, ok, he had the lion's share of the ideas. It was a great teamwork. I think it was a great yin and a yang, but it was more like YIN and yang. And he deserves that credit and I give it to him because the ETC is a wonderful place. And he's now running it and he's taking it global. We'll talk about that in a second.

[放唐看起来很激动的幻灯] 唐是一个爱激动的人。我与唐共用一间办公室，在一开始是间很小的办公室。我们有六年共用一间办公室。你们那些了解道唐的人知道他是个爱激动的人。你知道，鉴于我目前的情况，有人问我，这是挺糟糕的笑话，但我还是要用它。因为我知道唐会原谅我。有人说，鉴于你目前的状况，你有否想过你是会去天堂还是去地狱？我说，我不知道，但是如果我去地狱，要减我六年已服刑期！ [笑]我开玩笑。和唐共用办公室就象和龙卷风共享办公室。那里有那么多能量和你永远不知道那一辆拖车要被卷走，对吗？但你知道会有令人兴奋的事情发生。而这能量是如此之大，我相信归功于有功者，所以，以我常用的视觉表达方式，如果唐和我分配娱乐技术中心的成功，他显然获得的大部分份额。 [显示一个饼分图 70/30 （唐/兰迪）] ，他做了大部分的工作，他提出了大部分的想法。那是一个美好的合作。我认为那是一个了不起的阴和一个阳，但更象是阴阳。他值得我称赞，娱乐技术中心是一个美妙的地方。他现在是掌舵人，他还要把它推向全球。我们马上将谈到这一点。

Describing the ETC is really hard, and I finally found a metaphor. Telling people about the ETC is like describing Cirque du Soleil if they've never seen it. Sooner or later you're going to make the mistake. You're going to say, well it's like a circus. And then you're dragged into this conversation about oh, how many tigers, how many lions, how many trapeze acts? And that misses the whole point. So when we say we're a master's degree, we're really not like any master's degree you've ever seen. Here’s the curriculum [Shows slide of ETC curriculum] [laughter] The curriculum ended up looking like this. All I want to do is visually communicate to you that you do five projects in Building Virtual Worlds, then you do three more. All of your time is spent in small teams making stuff. None of that book learning thing. Don and I had no patience for the book learning thing. It's a master's degree. They already spent four years doing book learning. By now they should have read all the books.

描述娱乐技术中心真的很难，我最终找到了一个比喻。告诉别人娱乐技术中心就象是描述（加拿大的）太阳马戏团。如果别人从来没有见过，那迟早你会犯错误说，它就像一个马戏团。然后你就被拖进那种关于，哦，有多少只老虎，有多少狮子，有多少吊秋千的表演的谈话中而错失关键。因此，当我们说这是一个硕士学位，我们可不是你所见过的硕士学位。这是课程安排 [显示娱乐技术中心的课程] [笑] 课程安排最后变成这样。我想要做的是以视觉表达的方式让你们知道，你在建设虚拟世界做五个项目，然后再做3个。你的所有时间都花在跟小团队作东西。没有这本书学习。唐和我没耐心学书本。这是硕士学位。他们已经用了4年时间作书本学习。现在他们应该已经读过所有的书了。

The keys to success were that Carnegie Mellon gave us the reins. Completely gave us the reins. We had no deans to report to. We reported directly to the provost, which is great because the provost is way too busy to watch you carefully. [laughter] We were given explicit license to break the mold. It was all project based. It was intense, it was fun, and we took field trips! Every spring semester in January, we took all 50 students in the first year class and we'd take them out to shots at Pixar, we take them to Pixar, Industrial Light and Magic, and of course when you've got guys like Tommy there acting as host, right, it's pretty easy to get entrée to these places. So we did things very very differently. The kind of projects students would do, we did a lot of what we’d call edutainment.

我们成功的关键是卡内基梅隆大学放手让我们去干。完全放手。我们不必向任何院长报告。我们直接向教务长报告，这样非常好因为教务长忙的根本固不上费心管我们。 [笑声]我们有明确的打破旧模式的授权。我们的教学是以课题为刚。紧张有趣，我们还出外考察！每年一月春季学期，我们带全部50名学生到皮克斯动画工作室和光魔影视特技制作公司，当然当你有像汤米这样的人作东，你进那些地方就很容易。所以我们做的事非常与众不同。我们把很多很多学生做的课题工作称为“娱教“。

We developed a bunch of things......
