在2004年，斯沃茨离开海兰帕德，考上斯坦福大学
He’d had ulcerative colitis which was very troubling, and we were concerned about him taking his medication.
他仍患有溃疡性结肠炎，这个病很麻烦。们很担心他的用药情况
He got hospitalized and he would take this cocktail of pills every day,
他得住院，每天服用大把的药片
and one of those pills was a steroid which stunted his growth,

and made him feel different from any of the other students.
这让他觉得自己和其他学生不一样
Aaron, I think, shows up at Stanford ready to do scholarship
亚伦出现在斯坦福大学，我觉得奖学金就是为他准备的
and finds himself in effectively a babysitting program for overachieving high-schoolers
他在自己幼年时期就充分发掘自我潜能，以超越同期的高中孩子
who in four years are meant to become captains of industry and one-percenters
这些高中的孩子在四年后可能成为大企业的智囊
and I think it just made him bananas.
我认为只有百分之一的人让他难以超越
In 2005, after only one year of college,
在2005年，仅仅在上大学的一年半后
Swartz was offered a spot at a new start-up incubation firm called Y Combinator, lead by Paul Graham.
在Paul Graham带领的新的启动孵化公♥司♥——Paul Graham，斯沃茨受到了重视
He’s like, “Hey, I have this idea for a a website.”
他那时候，说，我有一个关于网站的想法
And Paul Graham likes him enough, and says, “Yeah, sure.”
Paul Graham很喜欢他，说，好啊，当然可以
So Aaron drops out of school, moves to this apartment…

So this used to be Aaron’s apartment when he moved here.
以前他住在这里时，这里就是亚伦的房♥间
I have vague memories of my father telling me how difficult it was to get a lease
父亲当时告诉我获得租约有多困难，我对此事还有一点模糊的印象
’cause Aaron had no credit and he dropped out of college.
因为亚伦由于没有信用，并且从大学辍学了
Aaron lived in what’s now the living room and some of the posters are leftover from when Aaron lived here.
亚伦住在现在被称为客厅的房♥间，一些海报还留在墙上
And then the library…there are more books, but a lot of them are Aaron’s.
这是图书室，以前有更多的书，很多都是亚伦的
Aaron’s Y Combinator site was called “infogami”, a tool to build websites.

斯沃茨最终把他的公♥司♥并入另一个YC项目以寻求帮助
It was a project headed by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, called “Reddit”.
这是SH和AO创立的项目，叫做REDDIT（红迪网）
There we were, starting from almost nothing. No users, no money, no code,
我们白手起家，没有用户，没有资金，没有程序代码
and growing day by day into a hugely popular website,

There’s a lot of humor, there’s a lot of art, and there’s just people who flock to the site,
这里有很多幽默的人、很多搞艺术的人，还有很多别的人不停涌进来
and make that site the main site they go to every morning to get their news.
红迪网是他们每日必进，获取消息的主要网站
reddit kind of just borders on chaos at some levels,
红迪网在某种程度上来说近乎混乱
so on the one hand it’s a place where people discuss news of the day, technology, politics and issues,
另一方面，它是人们讨论每日新闻、科技、政♥治♥、各种难题的地方
and yet there is a lot of kind of Not Safe For Work material, offensive material,
可是那儿也有些违反工作安全或者泄露隐私的信息
there are some sub-reddits where trolls find a welcome home,
一些“副红迪区域”是钓鱼人的宜居之地(钓鱼人：故意在网上发送错误的邮件来骚扰别人并接收来自单纯或天真的用户对错误的 “修正”)
and so, in that sense reddit has been kind of home to controversy, as well.
所以，红迪备受争议
It kind of sites on that edge of chaos.

The idea of him spending his money on fancy objects just seemed so implausible.

He explains it as, “I like living in apartments so I’m not going to spend a lot of
money on a new place to live. I’m not gonna buy a mansion,
