以下为李开复的微博经典英语语录部分整理：
1、“宁愿失败地做你爱做的事情,也不要成功地做你恨做的事情。” （I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.）~ George Burns
2、“人生的目的就是过一个有目的的人生。”（The purpose of life is a life of purpose.） ~ Robert Byrne
3、一句有趣的西方谚语：法律和网一样,小鱼从缝隙钻出去,大鱼用蛮力撞穿出去,其它的鱼绝望地被捕获。（“The law is like a net. Little fish slip through it. Great fish crash through it. And all the rest are hopelessly entangled in it.” ）
4、"要评估一个人,看他失败后的表现,而不是成功后的表现。" "Judge a man on how he reacts to failure, not success. "-- Martin Luther King
5、人有自由为所欲为是虚假的自由,人有自由选择他应做的事才是真正的自由。There are two freedoms - the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought. ~Charles Kingsley
6、直觉是人类庄严的天赋,理性只是人类有用的工具；我们却造就了一个歌颂工具,而遗忘天赋的社会。- 爱因斯坦（The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.）
7、再分享一句新年祝福：希望大家2011年处处都是奇迹。“ 有两个方式过日子；你可以活得像日日都没奇迹；或你可以活得像处处都是奇迹。“ - 爱因斯坦 （There are two ways to live; you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.）
8、Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect a different result. – James Robbins 如果你重复做一样的事情,但是期望有不同的结果,那你就是疯了。 (许多大企业用一成不变的模式,用一样的人、一样的激励机制、一样的衡量机制,却希望做出创新,这是几乎不可能成功的。)
9、A goal is just a dream with a deadline. - Napoleon Hill 目标就是有限期的梦想。
10、A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at. - Bruce Lee 目标不一定是需要达到的,目标往往只是用来帮助你瞄准方向。李小龙
11、Ideal: hopeless to achieve, but necessary to pursue, because the pursuit gives meaning to your life. （理想也许不可能实现,但是必须追求,因为追求的过程让你的人生有意义）
12、No matter what you past has been, you have a spotless future. (无论你的过去如何，你的未来现在是无瑕的）
13、Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline.（[一个公司的]伟大不仅仅是因为它把握了时机，而是它刻意的选择和纪律）。-- Jim Collins， Built to Last （基业长青）
14、A captain would never run away from his duty, if he knew the ship was sinking.
15、“如何『永恒愚昧』：1）对你的见解满意,2）对你的知识满足。” “The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.” -- Elbert Hubbard
16、我建议这么翻译：关你屁事=None of your fucking business,关我屁事=I don't give a shit。//@大山：#问山哥# 英文里说 what’s it got to do with me/you,但这里没有“屁事”的语气。再加上英文中的万能语气词,这脾气就出来了：what the fuck’s it got to do with me/you！
17、"Break a leg"的意思是“祝演出成功”,因为古时候演员或歌手演出成功结束,在观众欢呼下出场感谢观众,鞠躬一条腿会曲着放到另一条腿后,看起来像一条腿在膝盖处break了。 //@开欣英语酱:要请@李开复 老师给大家讲一下"break a leg"这个短语的由来喔~
18、虚拟语气不但是虚拟的,而且是虚假的：”明明不是如此,但是如果是,那。。“： Suppose it WERE true (但不是真的); He behaves as though he WERE a millionaire (但他不是). If John WERE here（但他不在）, he would know; He spoke as if I WERE deaf（但我不聋）
19、#开老师教英语# 看漫画学英语：1）用if ..were =假设不会发生的事发生了：If I were wrong, I would apologize =假设我犯了错（但我没有）,我就会道歉。If I was wrong, I apologize = 如果我错了,我道歉。2）not a chance = 绝不会发生。记者问乔布斯Android会否超越iphone,他的回答not a chance。
20、#开老师教英语# 动物声音,唸到像动物叫就对了 ：1）狗 woof,2）猫 meow,purr,3）公鸡 cock-a-doodle-doo,4）鸭 quack,5）牛 moo,6）马 neigh,7）猪 oink,8）小鸟chirp、中鸟:tweet、大鸟squawk,9）蜜蜂 buzz,10）布谷鸟 cukoo,11）青蛙 ribbit,12）猫头鹰 hoo,13）狮子 roar,grr.
21、#开老师教英语# 解释：Make, keep, take等词在英语有很多意思,要看上下文才能理解。Make a promise: 立下誓言；Keep a promise：坚守誓言。Make a child：制造孩子；Keep a child：留住（并养大）孩子。(以上语录均摘自李开复个人微博)
