1966年,施罗德考入德国格廷根大学法学系。初进大学,这位日后成为德国总理的年轻人便显示出政治家的天赋,当选为法学系学联主席。当时,系里有个叫肯特纳的学生,因与施罗德竞争失败而嫉恨他,不但在公开场合对他冷嘲热讽,还在背后到处说他的坏话。有一次,学校举行足球赛,法学系获得冠军。庆功晚会一开始,所有的足球队员都被请上台,肯特纳也在其中。作为晚会的主持人,施罗德要与队员们一一拥抱,当他走到肯特纳面前张开双臂的时候,肯特纳做了一个不屑的表情后弯腰系自己的鞋带。对于肯特纳的不友好,施罗德没有在意,依然微笑着与下一个队员拥抱。 In 1966 Schroeder was admitted to the Department of Law at Gottingen University. The junior college, the young man who later became the German chancellor, showed the talent of a politician and was elected chairman of the Federation of Law Studies. At that time, there was a student named Kertner in the department, who hated him for failing to compete with Schroeder. He not only cynically exposed him in public, but also spoke ill of him everywhere. Once, the school held a football match, the law department won the championship. At the beginning of the celebration party, all the football players were invited to come to power and Kentner was among them. As the host of the party, Schroeder embraced the team members one by one. As he walked out to Kentner with his arms open, Kentner bent over his shoelaces with a disdainful look. For Kentner’s unfriendly, Schroeder did not care, still smiling and embraced the next player.
