彭先生:1. Thanks to 吴吉海 for leading tonight’s QQ meeting. The topic “我最近读的一本书” is a very good one. Just like彭丽琴 said “这次月会正好督促了我去看这本书”. If we all did what彭丽琴 said, then tonight’s meeting has accomplished its purpose.
1.谢谢吴吉海用今天这个主题主持今晚的会议。“我最近读的一本书”是个好主题. 就像彭丽琴说的,“这次月会正好督促了我去看这本书”. 如果我们都是像彭丽琴那样去做的话, 那么今晚会议的目的就达到了
2. Agree with 彭立 “感觉书看多了,境界真的会不一样”. I am very happy to know that you have read a lot of good books. From your sharing I can also tell that you have internalized what you read. The process of internalization is a deep thinking process. Reading helps us to accomplish that process.
2我同意彭立说的, “感觉书看多了,境界真的会不一样”。知道大家都读了很多好书,我很欣慰。从你们的分享里我看得出来,你们已经把所读的书本“内化”了。“内化”的过程,是一个深思的过程。阅读帮助我们完成这个过程。
3. Reading is important, it helps us to acquire and to receive the knowledge, experience and observations from others. I think that the sharing is equally important, just like what we’re doing tonight. Because it’s a process to give out what you have internalized which is truly yours. Reading and sharing help us to complete this full learning cycle of giving and receiving.
3.读书很重要,因为阅读帮助我们从他人身上获取和接收到知识,经验以及观点。我想分享和阅读同样的重要,就像今晚这样的分享一样。因为这是一个把你真正内化了的东西,再给到别人的过程。所以,阅读和分享,使得这个给予和接收的学习过程圆满地完成了。
4. Just came back from North America. I was not well at the end of the trip. Followed the doctor’s advice, took a longer rest before I flied back. Will still try to come to Beijing to fulfill my commitments with Beida University and Tsing Hua University in early December, but have canceled my speeches in Singapore. I guess for me this is a good reminder when getting older, I just have to take better care of myself.
4我刚刚从北美洲出差回来。这次出差,到快结束时,我的身体不大舒服了。根据医生的建议,我飞回香港前,又多休息了几天。我会尽量地兑现我给北大和清华的承诺,如期在12月初来到北京。但是我取沙了我在新加坡的演讲。我想,这次的经历,对我是一个很好的提醒:老了,应该要更好地照顾自己。
5. Last but not the least let’s welcome彭波 back to join us tonight. As I mentioned during our August Changsha meeting, 彭波 will be our chief editor for our forthcoming publication of the “Sulan 15 year Reflection”. He is also working on some new programs to make this family stronger and a better place to help develop us to live a meaningful and happy life. It’s really worthwhile for our participation and support.
5最后,但是同样也很重要的,让我们欢迎彭波今晚的回归。如同我8月份在长沙年会上向你们提起的,彭波会是我们将要出的素兰15周年纪念刊的主编。同时他也将为我们开展另外的一些新项目,这些项目会让我们这个家庭变得更强大,更美好,更好地帮助我们过上有意义、有乐趣的生活。彭波做的所有这些项目,真的是很值得我们大家去参与,去支持的。
6. Understand we just had the 1st snow in Beijing. Please take care, looks like the cold winter is here already. Looking forward to seeing you next month. Good night!
6我知道北京刚刚下了今年的第一场雪。请大家要多多保重,看来寒冬真的来了。期待着下个月见到你们。晚安!
