To introduce Professor Randy Pausch, our first Journeys speaker, I would like to
introduce Randy’s friend and c olleague, Steve Seabolt. Steve has been at
Electronic Arts for six years and is the Vice President of Global Brand Development
for The Sims label at Electronic Arts. As you all know, The Sims is one of the most, if
not the most successful PC games in the world, with sales approaching over 100,000.
Prior to that, Steve was the Vice President for Strategic Marketing and Education at
EA, bridging academia and Electronic Arts. His goal was to work with academics so
there was an effective educational pathway for kids with building games as theirlengthy
dreams. It was in that role that Randy and Steve became colleagues and friends.
Before Electronic Arts, Steve was the worldwide Ad Director for Time Magazine and
CEO of Sunt Publishing, which is a very favorite magazine in the Southwest, and as
fear
CEO there, one of the things he started was school tours, becau like Randy he
shares a passion for inspiring kids of all ages to share their excitement for science
and technology.
要介绍兰迪.波许教授, 我们旅途演讲的第一位主讲人，我希望先介绍兰迪的朋友和同事, 史
蒂夫.西伯特。史蒂夫在艺电公司六年，是负责该公司"模拟人生"游戏全球品牌发展的副总
裁。你们都知道, “模拟人生”起码来说，是世界上最成功的个人计算机游戏之一, 销售了接
近十万套。在那之前, 史蒂夫是艺电公司的战略行销和教育副总裁, 与学术界沟通。他的目
标是同学术界一起为梦想创造计算机游戏的孩子们找到一条有效的教育途径。因此，兰迪和史
蒂夫成为了同事和朋友。在加入艺电公司之前, 史蒂夫是时代杂志世界广告部的主任和"日落
出版"，一本在西南地区非常受喜爱的杂志，的总经理。在任总经理期间, 他开始做的一件事是
yrt
参观学校, 因为他和兰迪一样都热望让所有上进孩子们能分享他们对科技的热情。

Thank you very much. I don’t mean to sound ungracious by correcting you, but
given that our PR people are probably watching this on webcast, I’d catch heck if I
went home and didn’t say that it was 100 million units for The Sims. [laughter] Not美国cnn
that big numbers matter to Electronic Arts. [laughter]
I don’t e any empty ats anywhere, which is a good thing, which means I just
won a bet from Randy as a matter of fact. Depending upon who’s version of the

story you hear, he either owes me 20 dollars or his new Volkswagen. [laughter] So, I’ll
take the car.
谢谢。我不想显得很粗鲁地纠正您, 但是我们公关人员可能正在看网络直播, 如果我没有说"
模拟人生"销售额是一亿套, 那我回去后要吃不了兜着走[ 笑声] . 当然艺电公司并不在意大
数字[ 笑声] 我看不到任何空座位, 这很好, 这就意味着我和兰迪打赌赢了。根据你听谁说
了, 他要么欠我20 美元，要么欠我他的新大众汽车[笑声] 好吧, 我要汽车。
It’s a pleasure to be here, thank you very much. I’m going to start by covering
Randy’s academic credentials. It’s a little bizarre for me to be standing here at
Carnegie Mellon, which is a school I couldn’t get into no matter how much I
contributed to this institut ion. [laughter] But, no really, I’m not kidding! You all think,
oh gosh he’s humble. Really, no, I’m not humble at all. Very average
SAT scores,
you know, right in the middle of my high school class of 900. Anyway, Randy. Randy
earned –it really piss me off that Randy’s so smart—actually I called him, we
decided about, what, four weeks, ago and we heard the news went from bad to
fowhorrific. It was on a Wednesday night and I said look –we have two choices. We
can play this really straight and very
