喬布斯-斯坦福大學(xué)的演講(中英文)

1、Thank you. Im honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest Ive ever gotten to a college graduation.謝謝大家。很榮幸能和你們，來自世界最好大學(xué)之一的畢業(yè)生們，一塊兒參加畢業(yè)典禮。老實(shí)說，我大學(xué)沒有畢業(yè)，今天恐怕是我一生中離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一次了。Tod

7、何我要選選擇退學(xué)學(xué)呢？這這還得從從我出生生之前說說起。我我的生母母是一個個年輕、未婚的的大學(xué)畢畢業(yè)生，她決定定讓別人人收養(yǎng)我我。她有有一個很很強(qiáng)烈的的信仰，認(rèn)為我我應(yīng)該被被一個大大學(xué)畢業(yè)業(yè)生家庭庭收養(yǎng)。于是，一對律律師夫婦婦說好了了要領(lǐng)養(yǎng)養(yǎng)我，然然而最后后一秒鐘鐘，他們們改變了了主意，決定要要個女孩孩兒。然然后我排排在收養(yǎng)養(yǎng)人名單單中的養(yǎng)養(yǎng)父母在在一個深深夜接到到電話，“很意外外，我們們多了一一個男嬰嬰，你們們要嗎？”“當(dāng)然然要！”但是我我的生母母后來又又發(fā)現(xiàn)我我的養(yǎng)母母沒有大大學(xué)畢業(yè)業(yè)，養(yǎng)父父連高中中都沒有有畢業(yè)。她拒絕絕在領(lǐng)養(yǎng)養(yǎng)書上簽簽字。幾幾個月后后，我的的養(yǎng)父母母保證會會讓我上上大學(xué)，

8、她妥協(xié)協(xié)了。Thiss waas tthe staart in my liffe.

12、最最好的決決定之一一。從我我退學(xué)的的那一刻刻起，我我可以停停止一切切不感興興趣的必必修課，開始旁旁聽那些些有意思思得多的的課。It wwasnnt alll roomannticc. II diidnt hhavee a dorrm rroomm, sso II slleptt onn thhe fflooor iin ffrieendss rroomms.

14、le.事情并不不那么美美好。我我沒有宿宿舍可住住，睡在在朋友房房間的地地上。為為了吃飯飯，我收收集五分分一個的的舊可樂樂瓶，每每個星期期天晚上上步行七七英里到到哈爾-克里什什納廟里里改善一一下一周周的伙食食。我喜喜歡這種種生活方方式。能能夠遵循循自己的的好奇和和直覺前前行后來來被證明明是多么么的珍貴貴。讓我我來給你你們舉個個例子吧吧。ReeddColllegge aat tthatt tiime offfereed pperhhapss thhe bbestt caalliigraaphyy innstrructtionn inn thhe ccounntryy.

17、d I fouund it fasscinnatiing.當(dāng)時的里里德大學(xué)學(xué)提供可可能是全全國最好好的書法法指導(dǎo)。校園中中每一張張海報(bào)，抽屜上上的每一一張標(biāo)簽簽，都是是漂亮的的手寫體體。由于于我已退退學(xué)，不不用修那那些必修修課，我我決定選選一門書書法課上上上。在在這門課課上，我我學(xué)會了了“seeriff”和saans-serrif兩種字字體、學(xué)學(xué)會了怎怎樣在不不同的字字母組合合中改變變字間距距、學(xué)會會了怎樣樣寫出好好的字來來。這是是一種科科學(xué)無法法捕捉的的微妙，楚楚動動人、充充滿歷史史底蘊(yùn)和和藝術(shù)性性，我覺覺得自己己被完全全吸引了了。Nonee off thhis hadd evven a h

20、以后的的生活中中能有什什么實(shí)用用價值。但是，十年之之后，我我們在設(shè)設(shè)計(jì)第一一臺 MMaciintoosh計(jì)計(jì)算機(jī)時時，它一一下子浮浮現(xiàn)在我我眼前。于是，我們把把這些東東西全都都設(shè)計(jì)進(jìn)進(jìn)了計(jì)算算機(jī)中。這是第第一臺有有這么漂漂亮的文文字版式式的計(jì)算算機(jī)。要要不是我我當(dāng)初在在大學(xué)里里偶然選選了這么么一門課課，Maacinntossh計(jì)算算機(jī)絕不不會有那那么多種種印刷字字體或間間距安排排合理的的字號。要不是是Winndowws照搬搬了 MMaciintoosh，個人電電腦可能能不會有有這些字字體和字字號。If II haad nneveer ddropppedd ouut, I wwoulld hha

31、很早就發(fā)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己己喜歡做做的事情情。我二二十歲的的時候就就和沃茨茨在父母母的車庫庫里開創(chuàng)創(chuàng)了蘋果果公司。我們工工作得很很努力，十年后后，蘋果果公司成成長為擁擁有四千千名員工工，價值值二十億億的大公公司。我我們剛剛剛推出了了最好的的創(chuàng)意，Maccinttoshh操作系系統(tǒng)，在在這之前前的一年年，也就就是我剛剛過三十十歲，我我被解雇雇了。你你怎么可可能被一一個親手手創(chuàng)立的的公司解解雇？事事情是這這樣的，在公司司成長期期間，我我雇傭了了一個我我們認(rèn)為為非常聰聰明，可可以和我我一起經(jīng)經(jīng)營公司司的人。一年后后，我們們對公司司未來的的看法產(chǎn)產(chǎn)生分歧歧，董事事會站在在了他的的一邊。于是，在我三三十歲的的時候

32、，我出局局了，很很公開地地出局了了。我整整個成年年生活的的焦點(diǎn)沒沒了，這這很要命命。一開開始的幾幾個月我我真的不不知道該該干什么么。我覺覺得我讓讓公司的的前一代代創(chuàng)建者者們失望望了，我我把傳給給我的權(quán)權(quán)杖給弄弄丟了。我與戴戴維德帕珂德德和鮑勃勃諾埃斯斯見面，試圖為為這徹頭頭徹尾的的失敗道道歉。我我敗得如如此之慘慘以至于于我想要要逃離硅硅谷。但但有個東東西在慢慢慢地叫叫醒我：我還愛愛著我從從事的行行業(yè)。這這次失敗敗一點(diǎn)兒兒都沒有有改變這這一點(diǎn)。我被逐逐了，但但我仍愛愛著我的的事業(yè)。我決定定重新開開始。I diidnt ssee it theen, butt itt tuurneed oout t

46、亡。我我17歲的的時候讀讀到過一一句話“如果你你把每一一天都當(dāng)當(dāng)作最后后一天過過，有一一天你會會發(fā)現(xiàn)你你是正確確的”。這句句話給我我留下了了深刻的的印象。從那以以后，過過去的333年，每天早早上我都都會對著著鏡子問問自己：“如果今今天是我我的最后后一天，我會不不會做我我想做的的事情呢呢？”如果連連著一段段時間，答案都都是否定定的的話話，我就就知道我我需要改改變一些些東西了了。提醒醒自己就就要死了了是我遇遇見的最最大的幫幫助，幫幫我作了了生命中中的大決決定。因因?yàn)閹缀鹾跞魏问率滤杏械臉s耀耀、驕傲傲、對難難堪和失失敗的恐恐懼在死亡亡面前都都會消隱隱，留下下真正重重要的東東西。提提醒自己己就要死死

47、亡是我我知道的的最好的的方法，用來避避開擔(dān)心心失去某某些東西西的陷阱阱。你已已經(jīng)赤裸裸裸了，沒有理理由不聽聽從于自自己的心心愿。Abouut aa yeear agoo, II waas ddiaggnossed witth ccanccer.

50、tt meeanss too saay yyourr gooodbbyess.大約一年年前，我我被診斷斷出患了了癌癥。我早上上七點(diǎn)半半作了掃掃描，清清楚地顯顯示在我我的胰腺腺有一個個腫瘤。我當(dāng)時時都不知知道胰腺腺是什么么東西。醫(yī)生們們告訴我我這幾乎乎是無法法治愈的的，我還還有三到到六個月月的時間間。我的的醫(yī)生建建議我回回家，整整理一切切。在醫(yī)醫(yī)生的辭辭典中，這就是是“準(zhǔn)備死死亡”的意思思。就是是意味著著把要對對你小孩孩說十年年的話在在幾個月月內(nèi)說完完；意味味著把所所有東西西搞定，盡量讓讓你的家家庭活得得輕松一一點(diǎn)；意意味著你你要說“永別”了。I liivedd wiith thaat ddia
