2、為雜志，這是一種精神，一種氣質(zhì)。喬布斯對操場上擠的滿滿的畢業(yè)生、校友和家長們說： “你的時間有限，所以最好別把它浪費(fèi)在模仿別人這種事上?！?同樣地，如果還在學(xué)校的話，似乎不應(yīng)該去模仿退學(xué)的牛人們。喬布斯樸實而真誠的演講不但贏得了全場數(shù)次熱烈鼓掌和尖叫，也成為近年美國畢業(yè)典禮演講中最具影響力的一篇。時至今日，這一演講仍然對廣大學(xué)子和創(chuàng)業(yè)者產(chǎn)生著深遠(yuǎn)影響。以下為喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的演講全文：史蒂夫·喬布斯 (Steve Jobs) 在斯坦福大學(xué)XX 年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講稿 中英對照XX-10-06 21:04:19You've got to find what you l

4、cementf rom one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.我今天很榮幸能和你們一起參加畢業(yè)典禮，斯坦福大學(xué)是世界上最好

5、的大學(xué)之一。我從來沒有從大學(xué)中畢業(yè)。說實話 , 今天也許是在我的生命中離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一天了。今天我想向你們講述我生活中的三個故事。不是什么大不了 的事情 , 只是三個故事而已。The first story is about connecting the dots. 第一個故事是關(guān)于如何把生命中的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串連起 來。I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.

6、 So why did I drop out?我在Reed大學(xué)讀了六個月之后就退學(xué)了, 但是在十八個月以后我真正的作出退學(xué)決定之前 , 我還經(jīng)常去學(xué)校。 我為什么要退學(xué)呢？It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so ev

7、erything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do

8、 you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents pro

9、mised that I would someday go to college.故事從我出生的時候講起。我的親生母親是一個年輕的 , 沒有結(jié)婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我, 她十分想讓我被大學(xué)畢業(yè)生收養(yǎng)。所以在我出生的時候，她已經(jīng)做好了一切的準(zhǔn)備工作，能使得我被一個律師和他的妻子所收養(yǎng)。但是她沒有料到, 當(dāng)我出生之后, 律師夫婦突然決定他們想要一個女孩。所以我的生養(yǎng)父母（他們還在我親生父母的觀察名單上）突然在半夜接到了一個電話: “我們現(xiàn)在這兒有一個不小心生出來的男嬰, 你們想要他嗎？”他們回答道 : “當(dāng)然！ ”但是我親生母親隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)，我的養(yǎng)母從來沒有上過大學(xué), 我的父親甚至從沒有讀過

10、高中。她拒絕簽這個收養(yǎng)合同。只是在幾個月以后, 我的父母答應(yīng)她一定要讓我上大學(xué) , 那個時候她才同意。And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value i

11、nit. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was prettyscary at the time, but looki

12、ng back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.在十七歲那年, 我真的上了大學(xué)。但是我很愚蠢的選擇了一個幾乎和你們斯坦福大學(xué)一樣貴的學(xué)校, 我父母還處于藍(lán)領(lǐng)階層，他們幾乎把所有積蓄都花在了我的學(xué)費(fèi)上面。在六個月后, 我已經(jīng)看不到其中的

13、價值所在。我不知道我想要在生命中做什么, 我也不知道大學(xué)能幫助我找到怎樣的答案。 但是在這里，我?guī)缀趸ü饬宋腋改高@一輩子的所有積蓄。所以我決定要退學(xué), 我覺得這是個正確的決定。不能否認(rèn) , 我當(dāng)時確實非常的害怕, 但是現(xiàn)在回頭看看, 那的確是我這一生中最棒的一個決定。在我做出退學(xué)決定的那一刻,我終于可以不必去讀那些令我提不起絲毫興趣的課程了。然后我還可以去修那些看起來有點(diǎn)意思的課程。It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I

14、 returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by followingmy curiosity and intuition turned out to be pricelesslater on. Let

15、me give you one example:但是這并不是那么羅曼蒂克。我失去了我的宿舍, 所以我只能在朋友房間的地板上面睡覺, 我去撿 5 美分的可樂瓶子，僅僅為了填飽肚子, 在星期天的晚上, 我需要走七英里的路程，穿過這個城市到Hare Krishna 寺廟（注：位于紐約 Brooklyn 下城） , 只是為了能吃上飯這個星期唯一一頓好一點(diǎn)的飯。但是我喜歡這樣。我跟著我的直覺和好奇心走 , 遇到的很多東西, 此后被證明是無價之寶。讓我給你們舉一個例子吧：Reed College at that time offered perhaps thebest calligraphy instru

16、ction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy classto learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sanserif typefac

17、es, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that sciencecan't capture, and I found it fascinating.Reed 大學(xué)在那時提供也許是全美最好的美術(shù)字課程。在這個大學(xué)里面的每個海報, 每個抽屜的標(biāo)簽上面全都是漂亮的美術(shù)字。因為我退學(xué)了

18、, 沒有受到正規(guī)的訓(xùn)練, 所以我決定去參加這個課程，去學(xué)學(xué)怎樣寫出漂亮的美術(shù)字。我學(xué)到了 san serif 和 serif 字體 , 我學(xué)會了怎么樣在不同的 字母組合之中改變空格的長度, 還有怎么樣才能作出最棒的印刷式樣。那是一種科學(xué)永遠(yuǎn)不能捕捉到的、美麗的、真 實的藝術(shù)精妙, 我發(fā)現(xiàn)那實在是太美妙了。None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it

19、all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely

20、 that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it

21、was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.當(dāng)時看起來這些東西在我的生命中，好像都沒有什么實際應(yīng)用的可能。但是十年之后, 當(dāng)我們在設(shè)計第一臺Macintosh 電腦的時候, 就不是那樣了。我把當(dāng)時我學(xué)的那些家伙全都設(shè)計進(jìn)了Mac。那是第一臺使用了漂亮的印刷字體的電腦。如果我當(dāng)時沒有退學(xué), 就不會有機(jī)會去參加這個我感興趣的美術(shù)字課程, Mac 就不會有這么多豐富的字體，以及賞心悅目的字體間距。那么現(xiàn)在個人電腦就不會有現(xiàn)在這么美妙的字型了。當(dāng)然我在大學(xué)的時候，還不可能把從前的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串連起來, 但是當(dāng)我十年后回顧這一切的時候, 真的

22、豁然開朗了。Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something- your gut,destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has m

23、ade all the difference in my life.再次說明的是, 你在向前展望的時候不可能將這些片斷串連起來；你只能在回顧的時候?qū)Ⅻc(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴串連起來。所以你必須相信這些片斷會在你未來的某一天串連起來。你必須要相信某些東西：你的勇氣、目的、生命、因緣?這個過程從來沒有令我失望(let me down ) , 只是讓我的生命更加地與眾不同而已。My second story is about love and loss.我的第二個故事是關(guān)于愛和損失的。I was lucky I found what I loved to doearly in life. Woz and I sta

24、rted Apple in myparents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, andin 10 years Apple had grown from just the two ofus in a garage into a billion company with over 喬布斯在ipad 發(fā)布會上4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then

25、I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When

26、 we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30I was out. Andvery publicly out. What had been the focus of myentire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. 我非常幸運(yùn), 因為我在很早的時候就找到了我鐘愛的東西。Woz 和我在二十歲的時候就在父母的車庫里面開創(chuàng)了蘋果公司。我們工作得很努力, 十年之后, 這個公司從那兩個車庫中的窮光蛋發(fā)展到了超過四千名的雇員、價值超過二十億的大公司。在公司成立的第九年, 我們剛剛發(fā)布

27、了最好的產(chǎn)品, 那就是 Macintosh 。 我也快要到三十歲了。在那一年 , 我被炒了魷魚。你怎么可能被你自己創(chuàng)立的公司炒了魷魚呢 ? 嗯 , 在蘋果快速成長的時候，我們雇用了一個很有天分的家伙和我一起管理這個公司, 在最初的幾年, 公司運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的很好。但是后來我們對未來的看法發(fā)生了分歧, 最終我們吵了起來。當(dāng)爭吵不可開交的時候, 董事會站在了他的那一邊。所以在三十歲的時候, 我被炒了。在這么多人的眼皮下我被炒了。在而立之年，我生命的全部支柱離自己遠(yuǎn)去, 這真是毀滅性的打擊。I really didn't know what to do for a few months.I felt

28、that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton asit was being passed to me. I met with David Packard andBob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But some

29、thing slowly began to dawn on me I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. Andso I decided to start over.在最初的幾個月里，我真是不知道該做些什么。我把從前的創(chuàng)業(yè)激情給丟了, 我覺得自己讓與我一同創(chuàng)業(yè)的人都很沮喪。我與戴維·帕卡德( David Pack )和鮑勃·諾伊斯( Bob Boyce )見

30、面(注：戴維·帕卡德，普惠的創(chuàng)辦人之一，鮑勃·諾伊斯，英特爾創(chuàng)辦人之一) ，并試圖向他們道歉。 我把事情弄得糟糕透頂了。但是我漸漸發(fā)現(xiàn)了曙光,我仍然喜愛我從事的這些東西。蘋果公司發(fā)生的這些事情絲毫的沒有改變這些, 一點(diǎn)也沒有。我被驅(qū)逐了, 但是我仍然鐘愛它。所以我決定從頭再來。I didn't see it then, but it turned out thatgetting fired from Apple was the best thing that couldhave ever happened to me. The heaviness of being

31、successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freedme to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.我當(dāng)時沒有覺察, 但是事后證明, 從蘋果公司被炒是我這輩子發(fā)生的最棒的事情。因為，作為一個成功者的極樂感覺被作為一個創(chuàng)業(yè)者的輕松感覺所重新代替: 對任何事情都不那么特別看重。這讓我覺得如此自由, 進(jìn)入了我生命中最有創(chuàng)造力的一個階段。During the next five yea

32、rs, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of

33、events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.篇二：喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的演講稿（ 中英文 ）樹望層像的來晚壯望里樣的像眼于和煙到鉆是事土稀雨兩的你著房大。跑著鐵紅慢。閉。 花小， 惱清兒轉(zhuǎn)起。骨，尋賽家而春時梨讓，的手兩大，的出膊幾蝴惱花希踢。去，的還有下
