巴基斯坦16歲電腦天才少女去世：分享人生哲學
電腦程序天才少女Arfa Karim Randhawa，9歲就成為了世界上最年輕的微軟認證專家，本周，據(jù)其家鄉(xiāng)巴基斯坦方面報道，其于16歲去世。
She had been in the hospital for nearly a month after reportedly suffering an epilepticseizure and cardiacarrest. Two weeks ago her outlook appeared to improve. In recent weeks, Microsoft had stepped in to help provide expert medical care.
在被曝出受癲癇折磨后，她在醫(yī)院住了將近一個月。2周前，她的身體狀況似乎還有所好轉。在最近幾周，微軟公司已經介入為其提供專業(yè)的藥物照顧。
As explained in this earlier post, I met Arfa and wrote a story about her in 2005 as a newspaper reporter covering her visit to the Microsoft campus in Redmond, when she was 10 years old. After seeing the reports this weekend, I went back and found some of the audio clips from my interview with her, including her talking about meeting Bill Gates, learning to program and what she planned to do when she grew up.
如在早期的報道中提到的，在2005年，作為新聞記者的我結識了Arfa，并且寫了她10歲踏入雷德蒙德微軟大學的故事。這周末，看到這則消息后，我回頭在與她的采訪中找到一些音頻資料，其中包括她談起和比爾·蓋茨的會面，學習編程序還有她計劃長大后做什么的片段。
I’ve pieced together the highlights in this audio file, to provide a better sense for what she was like. One of the most remarkable parts, apart from her recounting the conversation with Gates, is hearing her talk with such authorityabout developing Windows applications.
我在這份音頻文件中將其中的集錦進行拼湊，為大家獻上她更好的一面。其中最精彩的一部分，且不說她與比爾·蓋茨的談話，便是聽她講起發(fā)展Windows應用如此權威的論斷。
As you’ll hear at the end, Arfa at 10 years old had also settled on her philosophyof life, and committed it to memory. She told me about it after our interview, when she was having her picture taken outside, so I turned my recorder back on and asked her to repeat it for me on tape.
就像你在最后會聽到的，Arfa在10歲的時候就已經有了她自己的人生哲學，并在記憶中永遠銘記。在我們采訪結束后，她拿到在戶外拍的照片時，她告訴我了這些，所以我重新打開了錄音機，要求她為我再重復一遍。
“If you want to do something big in your life, you must remember that shynessis only the mind,” she said. “If you think shy, you act shy. If you think confident you act confident. Therefore never let shyness conquer your mind.”
“如果想要你的人生成就輝煌，你必須記住，羞怯關乎所有，”她說，“如果你想著害羞，你就會表現(xiàn)得害羞。如果你覺得自信，你就會表現(xiàn)得自信。因此絕對不要讓羞怯攻破你的意志。”
