　　Ron Meyer was 14 when a friend gave him his first tattoo³, a crude design done with ink and a needle. Like many of the guys he hung out with in West Los Angeles, Meyer was a high school dropout⁴, a kid quick with his fists who seemed to get into fights somewhat regularly.

　　罗恩·梅耶尔第一次纹身时只有14岁，那个纹身是朋友用墨水和针完成的一个粗糙设计。像很多混迹在洛杉矶西部的孩子一样，梅耶尔高中就辍学了，那时的他，还是一个似乎随时都会迅速握紧拳头面对打斗的孩子。

　　Today, Meyer is the president and COO of Universal Studios. As one of the most successful business leaders in Hollywood, he heads up Universal Pictures and Universal Parks & Resorts He's the guy who oversees⁵ the production of multimillion-dollar extravaganzas like "King Kong" and "Cinderella Man".

　　今天，罗恩·梅耶尔是环球影域的总裁和运营总监。作为好莱坞的杰出商业领导人之一，他统领着环球影业公司、环球公园及度假村。他还负责监制了像《金刚》和《铁拳男人》那类百万美元巨制的奇幻大片。

　　Even though Meyer could easilly afford it, he has no interest in getting his tattoos⁶ removed. They symbolize⁷ just how far he has come, and they remind him of the choices he made-good and bad-along the way.

　　尽管梅耶尔能轻易支付清除纹身的费用，但他并没有那么做。这些纹身时时刻刻告诉梅耶尔他走了多远，同时也提醒他这一路走来所做的选择，不管是好的还是不好的。
