你會喜歡埃隆·馬斯克？
Why does everyone love Elon Musk?
譯文簡介
網(wǎng)友：因為他真的想要改變世界，并且他有能力做到。你看，有很多人渴望改變世界。他們希望過上更好的生活，不僅為自己，也為全人類。但這很難，非常難。還有一些人能夠更容易地改變世界，這些人擁有數(shù)百萬甚至數(shù)十億美元，這些財富在一生中根本花不完。

Because he actually wants to change the World, and he can.
You see, there are many people who want to change the World. Who hope in better lives, not only for them, but for all humankind. But it’s difficult, very difficult.
And then there are some people who can change the World more easily, people that have millions or billions of dollars, amounts of money that are impossible to spend in a lifetime.
因為他真的想要改變世界，并且他有能力做到。
你看，有很多人渴望改變世界。他們希望過上更好的生活，不僅為自己，也為全人類。但這很難，非常難。
還有一些人能夠更容易地改變世界，這些人擁有數(shù)百萬甚至數(shù)十億美元，這些財富在一生中根本花不完。
He doesn’t put his own benefit before everyone else’s.
That’s why everyone loves Elon Musk!
2002年，埃隆·馬斯克將PayPal以15億美元的價格賣給了eBay。他堅信太空旅行是人類的未來，于是創(chuàng)辦了SpaceX。他還相信，從長遠來看，燃油汽車是不可持續(xù)的，所以他收購了特斯拉汽車公司，并將其發(fā)展成如今的模樣。他曾陷入財務(wù)困境。他花光了所有錢來資助他創(chuàng)辦的、并相信能夠改變世界的公司?？纯刺厮估?它的所有專利都免費供所有人使用，因為他不想讓特斯拉成為地球上最大的汽車公司。他希望每輛車都變成電動車，因為他知道這對每個人都有好處。
他不會把自己的利益置于他人之上。
這就是為什么大家都喜歡埃隆·馬斯克！
Technically he never went bankrupt.
Running out of money isn’t bankrupt.
Bankrupcy is when you can’t pay your debts. He never quite reached that point.
At some point he lived off money borrowed from friends, meaning he had near zero liquidity, but considering his Tesla stock after the IPO we was already worth billions if he could sell his position.
But I wholeheartedly agree with everything else.
嚴格說來，他從未破產(chǎn)。
錢花光不等于破產(chǎn)。
破產(chǎn)是指無法償還債務(wù)。他從未真正到那一步過。
在某個時期，他靠向朋友借錢度日，這意味著他幾乎沒有流動資金，但考慮到他IPO后的特斯拉股票，如果他能出售自己的股份，他的身價已達數(shù)十億了。
但我完全贊同其他所有說辭。
He was bankrupt ….he had to take personal loan from his friends to pay his rents in 2008
他確實破產(chǎn)過……2008年他不得不向朋友借個人貸款來支付房租。
There are those who love change, and those who resist it.
有些人喜歡改變，有些人則抗拒改變。
Here's why I hate Elon Musk. Everyone flaunts the good he's done. Well he ATTEMPTED to screw me over and likely did so to countless Americans.
這就是我討厭埃隆·馬斯克的原因。大家都炫耀他所做的好事。但他曾試圖坑害我，可能也坑害了無數(shù)美國人。
我上大學(xué)時，想向女友求婚。我花了數(shù)周時間秘密研究石頭、金屬和設(shè)計，直到找到完美的戒指。由于我從未購買過像訂婚戒指這樣昂貴的東西，所以當結(jié)賬屏幕上出現(xiàn)一個名為“稍后付款”的選項時，我感到很驚喜，它承諾可以讓我分期付款，而不是一次性掏空錢包。這家公司是PayPal的衍生公司，由埃隆·馬斯克運營。
然而，一周后我仔細查看條款和條件，發(fā)現(xiàn)利息是按天計算的，而不是按月計算。我立即給這家位于西雅圖的公司打電話，準備還錢。他們告訴我，他們只接受現(xiàn)金或支票，通過郵寄方式。但問題在于，如果利息是按天計算的，那么當我寄出的錢通過郵政系統(tǒng)送達時，我所欠的金額會比寄出時還要多……更不用說郵寄現(xiàn)金是犯罪行為……我問接線員是否可以多寄一些，她告訴我不行，他們只接受精確金額的付款。所以我不得不和她爭論了5到10分鐘，當我威脅要起訴時，她突然就能通過電話接受信用卡付款了。
But the point is Elon Musk tried to become a loan shark. He's no hero. He's a fraud.
據(jù)我所知，這家公司很快就惹上了不該惹的人，因為它現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不存在了。
但關(guān)鍵是埃隆·馬斯克試圖成為一個放高利貸者。他不是英雄。他是個騙子。
Why is everyone obsessed with Elon Musk?
I'm an African 50 years plus of age and have lived all my life in East Africa. That simply means it is highly unlikely that I will experience Elon's innovations or products in my part of the world.
為什么每個人都癡迷于埃隆·馬斯克？
我是一個50多歲的非洲人，我一生都生活在東非。這僅僅意味著，我不太可能在我的地方體驗到埃隆的創(chuàng)新或產(chǎn)品。
盡管如此，我卻是對埃隆這一現(xiàn)象著迷的人之一。原因很簡單，特斯拉和SpaceX并不是利用市場上的“機會”開展的項目。這些項目徹底改變了做事的方式，將環(huán)境空談轉(zhuǎn)化為現(xiàn)實，重新定義了“冒險”和“創(chuàng)業(yè)信念”的含義！埃隆的舉措遠超F(xiàn)acebook、蘋果、優(yōu)步等公司。
We live in a dead era devoid of imagination, bereft of heroes and without virtue. This is a culture of monsters where the most brutal are most rewarded and, tragically, idolized.
In the 1950s, Jonas Salk was a living God for the polio vaccine and our deliverance from the abject horror of paralysis. Today, well, it's guys who got lucky with big mouths. Steve Jobs was a decorator and a hack and he is revered as something like the second coming of Jesus Christ. Where are the heroes? Where are the good guys? We live a polluted toilet bowl of greed and stupidity.
我們生活在一個缺乏想象力、沒有英雄、沒有美德的死氣沉沉的時代。這是一個怪物橫行的文化，其中最殘忍的人得到的回報最多，可悲的是，還被偶像化。
在20世紀50年代，喬納斯·索爾克因研發(fā)小兒麻痹癥疫苗，幫助我們擺脫了癱瘓的極度恐怖，被人們奉若神明。如今，那些靠運氣和夸夸其談而聲名鵲起的人備受矚目。史蒂夫·喬布斯不過是個善于包裝的營銷者，卻被尊崇得仿佛是耶穌基督的再度降臨。英雄在哪里？好人在哪里？我們似乎生活在一個充滿貪婪與愚蠢的污濁之地。
Why is everyone obsessed with Elon Musk?
While I can’t answer for everyone else, I can share why I love reading about Elon Musk.
Let me preface my answer with this: I’m not obsessed with him per se, I am obsessed with greatness.
為什么每個人都癡迷于埃隆·馬斯克？
雖然我不能代表其他人回答，但我可以分享一下我喜歡閱讀有關(guān)埃隆·馬斯克內(nèi)容的原因。
讓我先說明一點：我不是特別迷戀他本人，我是迷戀他干的那些偉大的事跡。
Because at some point in my life I also want to make a dent in the universe, and I think that if I ever want to achieve greatness, I need to study those who are already great.
Thus, I’m obsessed with Julius Caesar, Marcus Aurelius, Leonardo DaVinci, Pythagoras, Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln, George Patton, Winston Churchill, Novak Djokovic, Barak Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, etc…
I buy and consume all material available on people whom I consider great, just because I find it inspiring and motivational.
為什么呢？
因為在我的生活中，我也想在宇宙中留下印記，我認為如果我想要實現(xiàn)偉大，我就需要研究那些已經(jīng)偉大的人。
因此，我對尤利烏斯·凱撒、馬可·奧里利烏斯、萊昂納多·達·芬奇、畢達哥拉斯、亞歷山大·漢密爾頓、亞伯拉罕·林肯、喬治·巴頓、溫斯頓·丘吉爾、諾瓦克·德約科維奇、巴拉克·奧巴馬、馬克·扎克伯格、比爾·蓋茨、史蒂夫·喬布斯、杰夫·貝索斯等人都很著迷……
我會購買并消費所有我認為偉大的人的相關(guān)資料，只是因為我發(fā)現(xiàn)這很鼓舞人心、很有激勵性。
The world is affected by the boiling frog syndrome caused by an incessant need for progress, and he happens to be one of the head-frogs.
We survived for millions of years communicating with signals smoke and messengers. Now? The by-products of iPhones and other infosphere apparatus are contributing to killing the environment:
I don't follow Musk’s work any more than I follow other bad news like whale beaching and ocean pollution. I am sure he's got good ideas, but I'm also sure that he doesn't get it, being too full of them.
As an addendum, I could also say, backed by Einstein’s saying that insanity consists of doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, that all those who believe that progress will solve the problems caused by progress are a bunch of insane idiots.
世界正受到因?qū)M步的無盡渴望而引發(fā)的溫水煮青蛙綜合征的影響，而他恰好是其中的領(lǐng)頭青蛙之一。
我們靠煙火信號和信使交流生存了數(shù)百萬年?，F(xiàn)在呢？iPhone和其他信息領(lǐng)域設(shè)備的副產(chǎn)品正在破壞環(huán)境：
我關(guān)注馬斯克的工作，就像關(guān)注其他壞消息，比如鯨魚擱淺和海洋污染一樣。我相信他有好主意，但我同樣確信他沒有真正理解問題所在，因為他想法太多。
作為補充，我還可以引用愛因斯坦的話，瘋狂就是一遍又一遍地做同一件事，卻期待不同的結(jié)果，那些認為進步可以解決由進步引起的問題的人，都是一群瘋子。
Everyone loves people who are ideal; or who they think are ideal
Elon is a very successful entrepreneur who is what everyone wants to be. He is rich, smart, handsome (to an extent) and founder of many billion dollar companies.
This is similar to many Hollywood romances that are successful - people want the reel life to become their reality. People want to be like Elon.
Least did they realize that he is extremely workaholic to an extent many people cannot survive doing that, and there is even a case against many of his companies saying that the companies are making them to work so hard overtime and not paying them for their extra work.
This is what people tend to be; they tend to ignore the negative aspects of a person, whilst worshipping their positive traits.
Note: Before starting to curse me in the comments, I am not a hater of Elon. I admire him, I really do. I merely highlighted the fact that he is loved because many people tend to overlook people’s negative traits if their positive traits shadow his negative ones
大家都喜歡理想化的人，或者喜歡被他們認為理想化的人。
埃隆是一位非常成功的創(chuàng)業(yè)者，他擁有很多人想要的一切。他富有、聰明、帥氣（在一定程度上），還是多家價值數(shù)十億美元公司的創(chuàng)始人。
這就像許多成功的好萊塢浪漫故事一樣——人們希望電影中的生活能成為他們的現(xiàn)實，人們想成為像埃隆那樣的人。
很少有人意識到他極度工作狂，程度之深是許多人無法承受的，甚至還有針對他許多公司的案例，稱這些公司讓員工過度加班且不支付額外勞動報酬。
人們往往就是這樣，他們傾向于忽視一個人的負面方面，同時崇拜他們的積極特質(zhì)。
注：在評論中開始罵我之前，（我得說）我不是埃隆的黑粉。我欽佩他，我是真的欽佩他。我只是指出了這樣一個事實：人們之所以喜愛他，是因為當一個人的優(yōu)點足夠突出，能夠掩蓋其缺點時，許多人往往會忽略掉他的那些負面特質(zhì)。
Why do people like Elon Musk?
I don’t know of many who like “him” - in fact, I don’t know that we really *know* him….he is fairly private and doesn’t speak much about who he is….but many admire his accomplishments and the traits of tenacity, persistence, and the ability to make his ideas become reality.
PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, The Boring Company, Solar City…h(huán)e is changing the world in positive, civilization-shifting ways.
…and for that, I certainly “l(fā)ike” him too.
為什么人們喜歡埃隆·馬斯克？
我不知道有多少人喜歡“他”——事實上，我不確定我們是否真的了解他……他相當?shù)驼{(diào)，很少談?wù)撟约旱纳矸荨S多人欽佩他的成就以及堅韌、堅持和將想法變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實的能力。
PayPal、SpaceX、特斯拉、無聊公司、太陽城……他以積極的、改變文明的方式改變著世界。
……因此，我當然也“喜歡”他。
The more accurate question would be 'what is there to love from Elon?’ and the answer is simple. He is different. Intellectually speaking I will argue he is not the most talented. However intellectual people are abundant. What is rarer is brave. He is braver than average, coupled with upper middle intelligence. Now that is rarer than a bookworm who claims to know so much about universe yet spend every day thinking and playing Quora
更準確的問題應(yīng)該是“埃隆身上有哪些值得愛的地方？”答案很簡單：他與眾不同。從智力上講，我會說他并非最有天賦的。然而，有智力的人比比皆是。更難得的是勇敢。他比一般人更勇敢，再加上中上等的智力。現(xiàn)在，這比那些自稱對宇宙了解頗多卻每天只顧思考和玩Quora的書呆子要稀少了。
Elon Musk is one of the best CEO and humanatic person in the world. Because of this characteristics , he is a different from any other CEO in the world. He is a great creator inspired by innovation and technology.when he sold x.com/PayPal to ebay, he received 165 million dollars. And he founded SpaceX. He believed that petrol cars were not sustainable things, in long term, so he founded Tesla motor. The compony specialized in electrical cars, lithium - ion battery, solar panels and solar roof tiles etc.
So, that's why everyone does love elon musk.
埃隆·馬斯克是世界上最優(yōu)秀的首席執(zhí)行官和最具人情味的人之一。正因為這一特質(zhì)，他與其他首席執(zhí)行官截然不同。他是一個偉大的創(chuàng)造者，受到創(chuàng)新和技術(shù)的啟發(fā)。當他將x.com/PayPal賣給eBay時，他獲得了1.65億美元。然后他創(chuàng)辦了SpaceX。他相信，從長遠來看，燃油汽車是不可持續(xù)的，所以他創(chuàng)辦了特斯拉汽車公司。該公司專注于電動汽車、鋰離子電池、太陽能板和太陽能屋頂瓦等。
所以，這就是為什么大家都喜歡埃隆·馬斯克的原因。
Why do people like Elon Musk?
From the point of view of a sci-fi reader, Elon Musk’s plans are pure Heinlein. He has a vision of the future, ranging from space travel to energy sources, that many people grew up expecting would be realized by now. To see someone endeavoring to make rocket shuttles affordable, along with an end to fossil-fuel-based terrestrial transportation, is incredibly gratifying. Plus, his base of operations is Los Angeles, home to some of the greatest engineering minds in aerospace.
為什么人們喜歡埃隆·馬斯克？
從科幻小說愛好者的視角來看，埃隆·馬斯克的規(guī)劃純粹是海因萊因風(fēng)格的。他對于未來的構(gòu)想，從太空探索到能源供應(yīng)，都是許多人自幼便期盼，如今已然成真的愿景。目睹有人致力于讓火箭航班變得親民，同時終結(jié)依賴化石燃料的陸地交通，實在令人無比振奮。而且，他的運營中心設(shè)在洛杉磯，那里匯聚了一些航空航天領(lǐng)域最杰出的工程頭腦。
Like a Heinlein character he actually executes those plans, though at great personal cost. Those sorts of plans never seemed impossible, they just didn’t happen. Elon dusts them off and proves that they really did make sense. Watching him build the Starship, a shiny stainless steel rocket with legs and fins, at rough outdoor construction sites in Texas and Florida using ordinary welders and cranes and then within months actually flying it is like a modern big budget movie of a Heinlein novel. It turns out there are no laws that the NASA way of doing things for billions of dollars and taking years to do nothing is the only way. NASA doesn’t even have any say over what the standards are for human Space travel if they’re not funding it. Elon is just going to go back to the moon and to Mars to stay his way and let NASA and everybody else get with his program or not as they please.
就像海因萊因筆下的人物一樣，埃隆真的會去執(zhí)行那些計劃，盡管這要付出巨大的個人代價。這類計劃從來都不會顯得不可能，只是從未實現(xiàn)。埃隆將它們重新拾起，并證明它們確實是有意義的?？此ㄔ煨请H飛船——一艘?guī)в型群亡挼拈W亮的不銹鋼火箭，在德克薩斯州和佛羅里達州的粗糙戶外施工現(xiàn)場，使用普通的焊工和起重機，然后在幾個月內(nèi)真的讓它飛起來，這就像是一部現(xiàn)代大片版的海因萊因小說。事實證明，并沒有法律規(guī)定，像NASA那樣花費數(shù)十億美元、耗費多年卻一事無成是唯一的做事方式。如果NASA不提供資金，他們甚至對人類太空旅行的標準都沒有話語權(quán)。埃隆打算按照自己的方式重返月球、前往火星并定居，讓NASA和其他人自行決定是否跟上他的步伐。
Before you ask why, ask whether! The idea that everyone loves Elon Musk is frightening. Your values are severely out of whack. He’s a complete stranger to you, and not particularly lovable.
Many people, including myself, admire him for various good reasons. Probably envy him also. But he’s as remote as Kim Kardashian or Genghis Khan, really, and if you actually feel an emotional connection to him - you need to stop! It’s extremely unhealthy psychologically.
Love your family, friends, and pets, not this distant public figure you know almost nothing of.
在問為什么之前，先問問是否！人人都喜歡埃隆·馬斯克的想法令人恐懼。你的價值觀被嚴重扭曲了。他對你來說是個完全的陌生人，而且并不特別招人喜愛。包括我自己在內(nèi)，許多人出于各種正當理由欽佩他，也許還會嫉妒他。但他就像金·卡戴珊或成吉思汗一樣遙不可及，真的，如果你真的對他產(chǎn)生了情感聯(lián)系——你需要停止！這在心理上極其不健康。愛你的家人、朋友和寵物，而不要愛這個你幾乎一無所知的遙遠的公眾人物。
