After graduating from the University of Nebraska, Warren Buffett applied to Harvard Business School.

在从内布拉斯加大学毕业后,沃伦·巴菲特申请了哈佛商学院。
"They told me I was to get interviewed in a place near Chicago," the iconic investor recounts in HBO's "Becoming Warren Buffett". "I got there and they interviewed me for about 10 minutes and said: 'Forget it. You're not going to Harvard.'"
这位投资大师在HBO的节目《成为巴菲特》中回忆道:“他们告诉我要在芝加哥附近的一个地方面试我。我去了那个地方,他们面试了我大概10分钟,然后说:'算了吧,你去不了哈佛。'”
Buffett's first thought was, "What do I tell my dad? This is terrible." But, he says, "it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me."
当时巴菲特的第一个想法是:“我该怎么告诉我爸爸?这太可怕了。”但是他现在却说:“最后证明,这是发生在我身上最好的事情。”
The rejection opened the door to Columbia. Later that summer, while looking through a catalog for Columbia Business School, Buffett recognized the names of two professors: Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, and David Dodd.
哈佛的拒绝为他打开了一扇通往哥伦比亚大学的大门。在那个夏天稍晚一些时候,巴菲特翻阅哥伦比亚大学商学院目录时发现了两位教授的名字:价值投资之父本杰明·格雷厄姆和戴维·多德。

"I had read this book "Security Analysis" by the two of them, so I wrote them a letter in mid-August," Buffett says. "I said, 'Dear Professor Dodd. I thought you guys were dead, but now that I found out that you're alive and teaching at Columbia, I would really like to come.' And he admitted me."

巴菲特说道:“我读过他俩写的《证券分析》,因此我8月中旬的时候给他们写了一封信。我说,'亲爱的多德教授。我本以为你们俩位已经去世了,没想到你们还活着、在哥伦比亚大学教书,我真的很想当你们的学生。'后来他就录取了我。”
"Ben was this incredible teacher. He was a natural and he drew us all in," Buffett says of Graham. "It was like learning baseball from a fellow who was batting 400. It shaped my professional life."
巴菲特评价格雷厄姆教授时说道:“本是一个不可思议的老师。他的教学润物无声,使我们所有人都沉浸其中。就像跟棒球队里一个能打400码远的小伙伴学习一样。那塑造了我的职业生涯。”
It was Graham who taught him "the two rules of investing" that Buffett has lived by throughout his massively successful career.
巴菲特正是依靠格雷厄姆教他的“投资的两项原则”,建立起了自己成功的事业。
"Rule number one: Never lose money," Buffett says. "Rule number two: Never forget rule number one."
巴菲特说道:“第一条原则,永远不要亏钱。第二条原则,永远不要忘记第一条原则。”
