Text AiTranslation: Task 1
退学之后挣个一两百万己经成为了年轻创业者的标签。人 们感到很惊讶,退学之后成为富翁的人数是如此之多。史 蒂夫•乔布斯仅在里德学院上了一个学期就退学,之后成 为了美国最有影响力的企业家之一;比尔•盖茨退学之后 创立了自己的软件公司,并成为微软的首席执行官;马克 •扎克伯格从哈佛大学退学,专心致力于自己的项目,创 立了脸书公司。确实,这些亿万富翁都在高等教育阶段退 学,而且赚了很多钱,但他们是例外,并非常规。需要注 意的是退学并不是使他们致富的原因,勤奋、专注和热情
才是他们成功的秘诀。因此,上学并获得学位是非常重要 的。当然了,除非你有能够改变一个行业的绝妙想法,并 且即使没有学位就拥有所需要的技能,那样的话,就大胆 地退学创业吧。而事实是,很多退学的人都不如那些拥有 学位的人成功。
Text A:Translation: Task 2
In recent years, the social development and changes in employment situation have put higher requirements on college students. Instead of confining themselves to the knowledge in books, more and more college students are stepping out of the "Ivory Tower" and taking an active part in social practice in their spare time. Through social practice, college students can have a deeper understanding of society, increase their sense of social responsibility, and improve their analytical and problem-solving abilities. Meanwhile, taking part in social practice can also help students recognize their own shortcomings and have a clear idea about where they are to go in the future. All these benefits will help them build up social and work experience, which will lay a solid foundation for them in finding jobs or starting their own businesses in the future.
