做人要诚实，老一辈的都说说谎是会下地狱、割舌头的。

老一辈明星大多靠作品吸引观众，现在的偶像却是靠营造人设来增加人气呢。

没有前辈的经验传承，哪儿来的底子创新呢？更何况王总您哪里老了？您现在可是如日中天、中流砥柱，是我们学习的模范。

If the older generation hadn’t passed down the fruit of their experience, there would be no base on which to innovate, would there? Not even to mention that you’re hardly old, Mr Wang! You’re just coming into your prime, a tower of strength! You’re a role model for us.

能不能别总在那儿一本正经地胡说八道，说点有用的，我自问也是挺努力上进的人，明明知道这辈子要出人头地应该是没指望了，可是内心却还是有点儿小悸动渴望着功成名就呀。

Can you not with the deadpan nonsense? Say something useful. Asking questions of myself is also me trying my best to improve myself. Although I'm clear in the knowledge that in this lifetime I've got no hope of standing out, inside I still have hunger for success and fame.

我也知道现在这时代不应该再固守成规、遵循“按资排辈”那一套了，只是被一个年轻人牵着鼻子走，心理多少有些不平衡。

I am aware in today’s times, we shouldn’t stick to rules where positions are based on seniority. But I still feel mentally awkward to be led by someone younger.
