退學(xué)之后掙個(gè)一兩百萬(wàn)己經(jīng)成為了年輕創(chuàng)業(yè)者的標(biāo)簽。人?們感到很驚訝，退學(xué)之后成為富翁的人數(shù)是如此之多。史?蒂夫?喬布斯僅在里德學(xué)院上了一個(gè)學(xué)期就退學(xué)，之后成?為了美國(guó)最有影響力的企業(yè)家之一；比爾?蓋茨退學(xué)之后?創(chuàng)立了自己的軟件公司，并成為微軟的首席執(zhí)行官；馬克??扎克伯格從哈佛大學(xué)退學(xué)，專心致力于自己的項(xiàng)目，創(chuàng)?立了臉書(shū)公司。確實(shí)，這些億萬(wàn)富翁都在高等教育階段退?學(xué)，而且賺了很多錢，但他們是例外，并非常規(guī)。需要注?意的是退學(xué)并不是使他們致富的原因，勤奮、專注和熱情
才是他們成功的秘訣。因此，上學(xué)并獲得學(xué)位是非常重要?的。當(dāng)然了，除非你有能夠改變一個(gè)行業(yè)的絕妙想法，并?且即使沒(méi)有學(xué)位就擁有所需要的技能，那樣的話，就大膽?地退學(xué)創(chuàng)業(yè)吧。而事實(shí)是，很多退學(xué)的人都不如那些擁有?學(xué)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.
