1
Good afternoon, Mr. Buffett, Mr. Munger.
2
Could you please advise us on what major mistakes we should learn,
3
we should avoid in both investing and in life?
4
I would also like to have Mr. Munger's thoughts too, please.
5
Thank you very much.
6
Charlie said the major mistake you can make,
7
then, you know, you're lucky being in the United States.
8
Go around the world, you don't have a lot of choices in some places,
9
but you should write your obituary and then try and figure out how to to live up to it.
10
And that's something you get wiser on as you go along.
11
The business mistakes,
12
you just want to make sure you don't make any mistakes to take you out of the game
13
or come close to taking you out of your game.
14
You should never have a night when you're worried about investing.
15
I mean, assuming you have any money to invest at all,
16
you should spend a little bit less than you earn.
17
And you can spend a little bit more than you earn
18
and then then you've got debt and the chances are you'll never get out of debt.
19
We'll make an exception in terms of of a mortgage on your house.
20
But but credit card debt and we're in the credit card business big time
21
and we'll stay in the credit card business
22
but why get behind the game and if you're effectively paying 12 or 14
23
or whatever percent you're paying on a credit card you know
24
you're saying i'm going to earn more than 14 percent of money
25
and if you can do that come to berkshire hathaway
26
so it uh it's it's i hate to say this
27
when charlie's around me but it's straight out of ben franklin i mean
28
and uh it's not that complicated well i'll give you a couple lessons
29
so you know tom murphy the first time i met him
30
said two things to me he said you know always tell someone to go to hell tomorrow well
31
that was great advice then and think of what great advice it is
32
when you sit down at the computer
33
and screw your life up forever by telling somebody to go to hell
34
or something else in 30 seconds and you can't erase He said,
35
you know, you haven't lost the option.
36
And he said, you know,
37
praise by name, criticize by category.
38
Well, what makes more sense than that?
39
I mean, who do you like that criticizes you all the time?
40
And you don't need to vilify anybody to make your point on subject of discussion.
41
And then I'll give you another general piece of advice.
42
I've never known anybody that was basically kind that died without friends.
43
And I've known plenty of people with money that have died without friends, including their family.
44
But I've never known anybody.
45
And, you know, I've seen a few people,
46
including Tom Murphy, Sr., and maybe Junior,
47
who's here, but certainly his dad.
48
Hey, I never saw him.
49
I watched him for 50 years.
50
I never saw him do an unkind act.
51
I didn't see him do very many stupid acts either.
52
I mean, it wasn't that he was non-discriminating.
53
He just decided that there was no reason to do it.
54
And wow, what a difference that makes in life.
55
Charlie?
56
Well, it's so simple.
57
to spend less than you earn and invest shrewdly
58
and avoid toxic people and toxic activities and try
59
and keep learning all your life etc etc
60
and do a lot of deferred gratification because you prefer life
61
that way and if you do all those things you are almost certain to succeed And if you don't,
62
you're going to need a lot of luck.
63
A lot of luck.
64
And you don't want to need a lot of luck.
65
You want to go into a game where you're very likely to win without having any unusual luck.
66
I'd add one more thought to it.
67
You need to know how people can manipulate other people,
68
and you need to resist the temptation to do it yourself.
69
Oh, yes the the toxic people who are trying to fool you
70
or lie to you who aren't reliable meeting their commitments a
71
great lesson of life is get the hell out of your life yep and do it fast do it fast
72
And I would add, Charlie would totally agree with me,
73
do it tactfully if possible too,
74
but do get them out of your life.
75
Yes, I don't mind a little tact,
76
or even a little financial cost,
77
but the question is getting them a hell out of the lot.
78

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
通过观看和模仿沃伦·巴菲特的演讲，学习者能够在真实的语境中提高自己的英语口语能力。这段录像中，巴菲特所传达的智慧与经验不仅适用于投资领域，也对生活有着深远的影响。对于正在准备雅思口语练习的学习者来说，模仿他的发音、语调和表达将帮助他们在口语表达中更加自信和流利。此外，影子发音（shadow speech）练习能够提升学习者的听力理解和口语表达能力，提升英语发音的准确性和自然度。
语境中的语法与表达
- 用"should"和"shouldn't"表达建议：巴菲特提到“你应该花费少于你赚取的”，通过这种结构，他清晰地传达了投资与生活的基本理念。学习者可以通过shadow speaks的方式，多次练习这些句型，增强自身的表达力。
- 使用"if"条件句进行假设：他提到“假设你有钱可投资，你应该...”这种表达方式适合用于日常对话中，帮助学习者理解条件句的用法。
- 动名词和名词短语的使用：巴菲特强调“赞美具体的人，批评分类”，这种结构可以让学习者在谈论时更具针对性和礼貌性，提高他们社交场合中的英语表达能力。
常见的发音陷阱
在巴菲特的演讲中，有几个词汇和短语学习者可能会觉得难以发音：
- "mortgage"（抵押贷款）：这个词在快速语速中可能会被误读，建议反复练习其音节分解。
- "criticizes"（批评）：注意中重音在第二个音节，这在口语中是一个容易忽略的细节。
- "kind"（友善）：在句子中使用时，需要掌握其流利的连接方式，以避免卡顿。
通过不断的shadowing练习，学习者能够提高对这些词汇的掌握，从而在实际交流中更加自如。同时，这对于英语发音的提高至关重要。无论是在日常对话还是学术讨论中，准确的表达将使沟通更加顺畅。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
