on June 12,2005.1 I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.I never graduated from college.Truth be told,this is the closest Ive ever gotten to a college graduation.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months,but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.So why did I drop out?Translation 史蒂夫史蒂夫乔布斯的故事乔布斯的故事本文是苹果计算机公司和皮克斯动画工作室的首席执行官史蒂夫乔布斯于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿。1 今天，我很荣幸能来到这所世界顶尖大学参加你们的毕业典礼。我大学没有毕业。说实话，现在是我最接近大学毕业的时刻。我在里德学院读了6个月就退学了，但是作为旁听生又在那里待了18个月左右，然后才真正离开学校。那么我为什么要退学呢？behonored(todosth.):（做某事）感到荣幸e.g.I was honored to have been mentioned in his speech.dropout(ofsth.):1)退学，辍学e.g.She dropped out of school to become a waitress.2)不再参加，脱离e.g.He has dropped out of active politics.quit:vt.1)离开；离校e.g.He got his present job when he quitted/quit the army.2）停止，戒掉e.g.Quit fooling around!You must quit smoking.Most important of all,you should start taking exercise.上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNextQuestion about Para.1 13focus1text 1.What did Steve Jobs do after he dropped out of Reed College?He stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before he really quit.上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs14focus1text 2 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 everything 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.(To be continued.)Translation 2 2 这要从我还没有出生的时候说起。我的生母是个年轻未婚的研究生，因此她决定把我送给别人收养。她觉得我必须由有大学学历的人收养。于是，她安排好了一切，只要我一出生，就把我交给一位律师和他的妻子收养。但是我出生之后，他们在最后一刻决定他们还是想要一个女孩。上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Meaning:My biological mother was a young college graduate student who gave birth to me as a single woman,so she wants to offer me to someone who would be willing to adopt me.Meaning:All arrangements were made for a lawyer and his wife to take me as their foster child even when I was not actually born yet,but they changed their mind and wanted to adopt a girl rather than a boy just at the moment I came into this world.put(sb./sth.)upfor:拿作用；推荐，提名e.g.We decide to put up the family jewels for auction.Harrison put up for the secretaryship.popout:冒出来，突然出现 e.g.The rabbit popped out as soon as we opened the hutch.An idea suddenly popped out into his head.BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs15focus1textSo 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 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 promised that I would someday go to college.This was the start in my life.Translation当时我父母还在候补名单上，一天半夜他们接到一个电话，问他们：“有个新生儿，是意外怀上的，是个男孩，你们要吗？”他们回答：“当然要。”但是，我的生母随后发现我母亲大学没有毕业，我父亲甚至连高中也没毕业，因此拒绝在最后几份领养文件上签字。直到几个月后，我父母承诺将来一定让我上大学，她才同意了。这就是我生命的开始。上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Meaning:At first,my natural mother would not sign her approval of the documents,but after a few months,my foster parents assured her that they would provide me with a university education(after I had grown up),and then my mother softened her stand and finally signed the adoption documents.relent:vi.1)终于答应，不再拒绝 e.g.Afterwards she relented and let the children stay up late to watch TV.2)减弱，变缓和e.g.The pressure on us to finish this task will not relent.BackNextQuestions about Para.2 2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs16focus1text 2.What can we learn from Steve Jobs narration about his biological mother?His biological mother was a young college graduate student when she gave birth to Steve Jobs as a single woman.She put up Steve Jobs for adoption,and felt strongly that her son should be adopted by college graduates and sent to college in the future.上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs17focus1text 3.What kind of people were Steve Jobs foster parents?His parents were a working-class couple without a college degree.His mother never graduated from college and his father never graduated from high school.However,they did send their adopted son to college as they had promised,and this cost them nearly all their savings.上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs18 3 17年后，我确实上了大学。但是出于无知，我选了一所几乎与斯坦福一样昂贵的学校，因此，工薪阶层的父母把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上。6个月过去了，我看不到其中的价值所在。我不知道我的人生定位，也不知道大学将如何帮我找到答案，而我正在这里耗尽父母一生的积蓄。所以我决定退学，并相信一切都会顺利。这在当时看来非常可怕，但现在回头看看，那是我做过的最棒的决定之一。focus1text3 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 couldnt see the value in it.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 trusted that it would all work out OK.It was pretty scary at the time,but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.(To be continued.)Translation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Meaning:After studying at Reed College for 6 months,I couldnt see the college education was worth the money my foster parents had paid for me.Meaning:I made up my mind to give up college,believing that everything would be all right for me(or I would not suffer because of making such a decision).scary:a.引起恐慌的e.g.That movie was too scary.The earthquake last night was so scary.BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobsworkout:1)成功地发展e.g.My first job didnt wok out.The new strategy may not work out well.2)锻炼身体e.g.I work out regularly to keep fit.19focus1textThe minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didnt interest me,and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.It wasnt all romantic.I didnt have a dorm room,so I slept on the floor in friends rooms.I returned coke bottles for the five-cent 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 following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.Let me give you one example:Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.Throughout the campus every poster,every label on every drawer,was beautifully hand-calligraphed.Translation从退学的那一刻起，我就不用再上那些不感兴趣的必修课，而开始去学那些看上去更有意思的课程。但一切也不全是这么美妙。我没有自己的宿舍，只有在朋友的房间里打地铺；我拣可乐瓶子，把退来的5美分押金攒起来去买吃的；而到了每个周日晚上，我都会步行7英里，穿过城镇去克利须那觉悟会的庙宇饱餐一顿。我喜欢这样。我依照好奇心和直觉做事，大多事后证明是非常值得的。让我给你们举个例子：当当时里德学院开设可能在全国是最好的书法课程。园里的每一张海报、每一个抽屉的每张标签上都有漂亮的书法。上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Meaning:By acting upon my impulse to satisfy my keen desire to find out what was going on,I learned by chance and much of what I learned in this way proved to be invaluable as time went by.Note that the minute introduces an adverbial clause of time.Some other nominal phrases that can be used to introduce adverbial clause of time are the moment,every time,the first time,etc.e.g.The moment he reached the country,he started his search.Each time I call on him,he is busy with his work.stumbleintosth.:无意间涉足某事 e.g.The urge to wider voyages caused men to stumble into New America.But this verb more often than not is used in its literal meaning:stumble:vi.1)跌跌撞撞地走，蹒跚而行e.g.A drunk stumbled past us.2)绊脚e.g.I stumbled over a tree root.intuition:n.1)U 直觉力e.g.Nobody told me where to find you.It was sheer intuition.2)C 凭直觉感知的信息e.g.I had a sudden intuition about the missing jewels.BackNextQuestions about Para.3 2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs20focus1text 4.Why did Steve Jobs drop out of Reed College?Because he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life and no idea how college was going to help him figure it out.Besides,the college was so expensive that all of his parents savings were being spent on his tuition.上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs21focus1text 5.What did Steve Jobs think about his decision of dropping out?Why?He thought it was one of the best decisions he had ever made as he looked back on his past.After he dropped out,he didnt have to take the required classes and he had the opportunity to take classes that interested him.Much of what he learned in this way proved priceless later on.上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs22focus1text 6.Why did Steve Jobs say his life as a drop-in in the college was not romantic at all?Because he was living a shabby life during the 18 months:he didnt have a dorm room,so he slept on the floor in friends rooms;he returned coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with;he would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs23fascinating:a.极有吸引力的，迷人的e.g.The results of the survey made fascinating reading.fascinate:vt.使（某人）着迷、神魂颠倒或极感兴趣e.g.The children were fascinated by the toys in the shop window.The city fascinates him.focus1text4 Because I had dropped out and didnt have to take the normal classes,I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.I learned about serif and sanserif typefaces,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 science cant capture,and I found it fascinating.Translation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 historical:a.1)历史（上）的e.g.What are the historical sites in this area?The book is based on historical events.2)有关历史研究的，历史学的 e.g.We have no historical evidence for it.Its a historical fact.artistically:ad.有艺术地，在艺术上e.g.She is artistically aware.The room is luxuriously and artistically furnished.BackNextQuestion about Para.4 2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs 4 4 因为我已经辍学，不用参加正规的课程，所以我决定去上这门课，学习书法。我了解了衬线和无衬线字体，学会了如何在不同的字母组合间改变间距，知道了如何让大字体显得很漂亮。这种科学所无法捕捉的、美妙的、充满历史感的微妙艺术，让我心醉神迷。24focus1text 7.What did Steve Jobs learn in the calligraphy class?He learned about serif and sanserif typefaces,about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations,about what makes great typography great.上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs25proportionally:ad.按比例地，相配合地e.g.Crime rate is proportionally much higher in the north of the country.Families with children spend proportionally less per person than families without children.Meaning:After ten years,when my colleagues and I were making the design for the first Macintosh computer,I recalled what I had learned in my calligraphy course at Reed College.focus1text5 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 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.(To be continued)Translation 5 这一切在我的生活中是否实用，我不抱希望。直到10年后，当我们在设计第一台麦金托什电脑时，我想起了这些东西。于是，我们把所有这些都设计进了Mac机。这是第一类拥有漂亮字体排版的电脑。如果我没有在大学旁听那门课程，Mac就不会有多种字体以及间距分配合理的字型。上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 haveahopeof:有的希望e.g.We have a slim hope of success.BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs26focus1textAnd since Windows just copied the Mac,its likely 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 was very,very clear looking backwards ten years later.Translation很可能现在的微软PC也不会有这些字型你们要知道，Windows也只是抄袭Mac，并非独创。如果我从未退学，我就绝不会旁听那门书法课，而个人电脑可能也不会有现在这样美妙的字体排版。在大学的时候，我当然不可能把这些点点滴滴都串起来展望未来。但在十年后再回首，一切都变得非常、非常清晰。上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Meaning:When I was in college,I was not able to link the various small incidents together to find out the direction in which I could move forward while planning my life for the future.BackNext2.Text:TheStoryofSteveJobs27 6 6 同样，当时你无法预见这类琐碎的经历之间能有什么联系，只有在回首往事时才能发现。你们要相信，这些片断会在未来以某种方式连接起来。你们必须相信一些东西勇气、命运、人生、因缘等等。这个方法从未让我失望，也正是它改变了我的整个人生。focus1text6 Again,you cant 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 somethingyour gut,destiny,life,karma,whatever.This approach has never let me down,and it has made all the difference in my life.Translation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Meaning:Little incidents in our daily life take place separately and it is almost impossible for us to grasp their true meaning for the time being and link them together so as to draw some useful lessons for ones future.It is only when we recall the course of life we have traversed so far,those little incidents will make a lot of sense.trustin:信任，相信e.g.We can trust in him.I hope we can trust in each other.makeallthedifference:关系重大，大不相同e.g.A few kind words at the right time make all the difference.BackNextQuestion about

spent on his tuition and he could not see the value in attending college.However,Steve Jobs did not give up learning.He made use of the 18 months to learn what interested him;for example,he took a calligraphy class.Therefore,although he dropped out of college,he was still making efforts to learn and to succeed in life.His decision was not rashly made and I do admire his determination and
