Both men were strong, charismatic and influential. Both men offered me advice, but they did not advise the same things. Both men believed strongly in education but did not recommend the same course of study.
其实我的两个爸爸都是那种生性刚强、富有魅力、对他人有着非凡影响力的人。他们两个人都曾给过我许多建议,但建议的内容却总不相同;他们两人也都深信教育的力量,但向我推荐的课程却从不一样。
If I had had only one dad, I would have had to accept or reject his advice. Having two dads advising me offered me the choice of contrasting points of view; one of a rich man and one of a poor man.
如果只有一个爸爸,我就只能对他的建议简单地加以接受或者拒绝;而两个爸爸给我截然对立的建议,这在客观上使我有了对比和选择的机会。现在回想起来,这实际上是一种在富人的观念和穷人的观念之间进行的对比和选择,而这种对比和选择的结果决定了我的一生。
Instead of simply accepting or rejecting one or the other, I found myself thinking more, comparing and then choosing for myself.
由于两个父亲的观念对立,使我得不到统一的说法,我便无法简单地对这些建议予以接受或拒绝,我发现自己有了更多的思考、比较和选择。
The problem was, the rich man was not rich yet and the poor man not yet poor. Both were just starting out on their careers, and both were struggling with money and families. But they had very different points of view about the subject of money.
