來到加拿大的Musk，盡管出師不利缎谷，但是隨后的大學生活讓他如魚得水(文中用了he fed on this environment删咱，感覺feed on用的妙杖小，頗有受到環(huán)境滋養(yǎng)的意味)，不僅邂逅了浪漫碾阁，而且在學業(yè)上展露鋒芒输虱。少時的夢想在大學學習生活中變得更加明朗清晰。那就是他堅定了在Internet脂凶、renewable Energy和space三個領域孜孜以求宪睹，有所建樹的決心愁茁。
胸懷大志亦如Musk，盡管他愛電游亭病，但是再好的電游也不能改變世界鹅很。"I really like computer games,but then if I made really great computer games, how much effect would that have on the world, It wouldn't have a big effect. Even though I have and intrinsic love of video games, I couldn’t bring myself to do that as a career. 所以他選擇對世界產(chǎn)生深遠影響的事業(yè)——Musk often makes sure that people know he had some truly big ideas on his mind during this period of his life。
Musk和蕓蕓眾生的區(qū)別是什么罪帖？他從一開始就有個顛覆世界的大目標促煮，是典型的put end in mind , 眾人還在滿足于畢業(yè)后有個工作就好了，Musk已經(jīng)理性地整袁、毫不妥協(xié)地開啟了大目標菠齿，并向著這個大目標行進。
Musk的成長經(jīng)歷來看葬项，因為他的與眾不同泞当，會與周圍環(huán)境格格不入。但是他始終put end in mind 民珍，不太在意別人的眼光，不盲從別人眼中的成功盗飒，不跟風追求所謂時髦嚷量，眼光長遠，始終與自己內(nèi)心真正的“end”校準逆趣。he's been in pursuit of a master plan all along .這一點難能可貴蝶溶。
三個短語
1、I was not in the habit of getting out-of- the-blue requests. 這里指突然宣渗、意外地= abruptly 抖所，suddenly ，unexpectedly .?
那為啥是blue不是別的什么顏色呢痕囱？我把blue想成“（藍）天”田轧， 從天而降的（out of blue）還真知道是什么意外呢。這樣想的話鞍恢，另外一個短語into the blue也好理解了傻粘，走向茫茫的天邊—是不是遙遠而未知？into the blue 就是指at a far distance; into the unknown: 例如帮掉， take a trip into the blue.
以上純屬臆想弦悉，方便記憶。
2蟆炊、he can sweep you off your feet?.
sweep somebody off their feet =suddenly and completly in love with 掃誰的腳稽莉，誰就墜入愛河。
3涩搓、Elon stood way outside of the bell curve.
bell curve 就是像鐘表形狀的曲線（The typically symmetrical curve of a normal distribution,resembling the profile of a bell.Also called?bell-shaped curve,normal curve.如果bell curve是normal curve的話污秆，那么outside of the bell curve 也就表示出眾了劈猪。
Summary?
Despite a tough beginning at Canada, Musk kicked off college life at Queen’s University. He was more ambitious in college than in high school, displaying the brand of intensity and competitiveness that marks his behavior today. Fortunately, College suited Musk,as students were less inclined to deride his opinionated ideas.He blossomed even more after transferring to the University of Pennsylvania, where his longtime interest in solar power and renewable energy expanded, and he even came up with several successful papers. His daydreams at both schools ended up with a determination to make a big impact on three areas---Internet, renewable energy,and space.
