英语励志演讲 乔布斯辞职前最后一次公开演讲
英语励志演讲乔布斯辞职前最后一次公开演讲Cupertino is very famous for Apple Computer. And we are very honor to have Steve Jobs to come here tonight to give us special presentation. Mr. Jobs?苹果如今变得炙手可热Cupertino也沾光不少，今晚我们荣幸地邀请到乔布斯莅临现场。
乔总?Welcome, Mr Jobs: you have a fan club here..欢迎你，这里貌似都是你的粉丝。
Thank you. Apple's grown like a weed, and as you know, we've always been in Cupertino. Started in an office par, eventually, got the buildings, we are in now the corner of the ends of 280.and those buildings hold maybe 2600 or 2800 people. But we've got almost 12,000 people in the area. So we're renting buildings - not very good buildings, either at an ever-greater radius from our campus and we're putting people in those. It is clear that we need to build new campus, so we just add space.谢谢大家。
苹果如雨后春笋般快速发展着，而Cupertino 一直是我们钟爱的土壤。
乔布斯的励志演讲稿英文
Ladies and gentlemen,Thank you for joining me today. I stand before you not as a man who has achieved great success, but as a man who has been deeply inspired by the pursuit of passion. It is this passion that has driven me throughout my career, and I hope that by sharing my story, I can ignite a spark of passion within each of you.The Early DaysI want to start by taking you back to my early days at Apple. It was a time of great excitement and innovation. We were a small team of dreamers, determined to change the world with our computers. We were passionate about our work, and that passion was infectious. We worked long hours, sacrificing personal time and comfort, because we believedin what we were doing.But success was not easy. We faced numerous challenges along the way. We had to compete with giants like IBM, and we often felt overwhelmed. However, it was our passion that kept us going. We believed in our vision, and we were willing to do whatever it took to make it a reality.The lessons of PassionOne of the most important lessons I learned during those early years was that passion is not just about loving what you do. It's about loving the process of doing it. It's about finding joy in the journey, not just in the destination. When you love what you do, you don't just work for a living; you live for your work.Passion also requires dedication. It's not enough to have a dream; you have to be willing to work hard to make it a reality. This means pushing yourself to your limits, taking risks, and never giving up, even when the odds are against you.The Apple StoryThe story of Apple is a testament to the power of passion. When I returned to Apple in 1997, the company was on the brink of collapse. We were facing a tough competition, and our products were not living up totheir potential. But we had a vision, and we were passionate about bringing great products to the market.We focused on design, simplicity, and user experience. We wanted to create products that not only worked well but also made people feel good about using them. This passion drove us to push the boundaries of what was possible, and it paid off. Over the next few years, Apple experienced a remarkable turnaround, becoming one of the most successful companies in the world.The World Beyond TechnologyWhile technology has been a central part of my life, I believe that the principles of passion can be applied to any field. Whether you're an artist, a teacher, a doctor, or an entrepreneur, the key to success isto find what you love and pursue it with all your heart.Passion is not just about finding your calling; it's about making a difference. It's about using your talents and skills to make the world a better place. When you do what you love, you not only find fulfillment but also inspire others to do the same.The Legacy of InnovationInnovation is a core value at Apple, and it's something I've always believed in deeply. Innovation is not just about creating new products; it's about challenging the status quo, questioning the conventional wisdom, and thinking differently.When we introduced the iPod, we didn't just want to make a better music player; we wanted to revolutionize the way people listen to music. When we launched the iPhone, we didn't just want to make a phone; we wantedto create a new platform that could change the way people communicate, work, and live.Innovation requires passion, and it requires a willingness to take risks. It's about pushing the boundaries of what's possible, and it's about making a difference in the world.The Future of PassionAs we look to the future, I believe that the power of passion will continue to drive innovation and change. In a world that is increasingly interconnected and complex, the ability to pursue what you love with passion will be more important than ever.We will see new technologies emerge, new industries born, and new ways of living and working. But at the heart of all these changes will be the human spirit, the desire to create, to learn, and to make a difference.A Final ThoughtAs I stand before you today, I want to leave you with one final thought. Passion is not just a feeling; it's a choice. It's a choice to live fully, to embrace challenges, and to pursue what you love with all your heart.So I challenge each of you to find what you love, to pursue it with passion, and to make a difference in the world. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an artist, a teacher, or a scientist, your passion can change the world.Thank you for listening, and may your lives be filled with passion, purpose, and success.The End。
乔布斯演讲稿英文版
之阿布丰王创作Thank you. I'm 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 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. The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of ReedCollege after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another eighteen months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed 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. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do youwant him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later 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 go to college.This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I naïvely 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 in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all 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 waspretty scary at the time, but looking 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 far more interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't 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 seven 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. ReedCollege 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. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans-serif 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 can't capture, and I found it fascinating. None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later when we were designingthe 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, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals 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, veryclear looking backwards 10 years later. 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--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was twenty. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the twoof us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned thirty, and then 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, thingswent well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at thirty,I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and triedto apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a verypublic failure and I even thought about running away fromthe Valley. But something 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'd been rejected but I wasstill in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that gettingfired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was WordStrd by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years 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 world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tastingmedicine but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimeslife's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better andbetter as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many daysin a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect tolive no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so thatit will be as easy as possible for your family. It meansto say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that whenthey viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and Ihope it's the closest I get for a few more decades.Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful butpurely intellectual concept. No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old tomake way for the new. right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought itto life with his poetic touch. This was in the late Sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. it was sort of like 谷歌 in paperback form thirty-five years before 谷歌 came along. I was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues of the The Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run itscourse, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-Seventies and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath were the words, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. "Stay hungry, stay foolish." And I have always wished that for myself, and now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay hungry, stay foolish.Thank you all, very much.。
乔布斯演讲稿英文版三篇
乔布斯演讲稿英文版三篇Speech 1: “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”Ladies and gentlemen,Thank you for being here today. I stand before you as a humble individual, but one who has been fortunate enough to witness the incredible power of technology in shaping our world. Today, I want to share with you a message that has guided me throughout my journey, and I hope it will inspire you too.“Stay hungry, stay foolish.”These words were famously uttered by the great Stewart Brand in his publication, The Whole Earth Catalog. They encapsulate a mindset that has driven me and countless others to push the boundaries of what is possible. It is the spirit of curiosity, of never settling for the status quo, that has propelled humanity forward. To stay hungry means to never lose that fire within us that drives us to seek knowledge, to innovate, and to explore new frontiers. It is this hunger that led me to co-found Apple, a company that has revolutionized the world of technology. But, it is not just about creating products; it is about creating experiences that enrich people’s lives.To stay foolish means to embrace our naivety, to not be limited by what others perceive as possible. It is this foolishness that allowed me to dream big and envision a world where technology is seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. It is this foolishness that led to the creation of the iPhone, a device that changed the way we communicate forever.But staying hungry and staying foolish is not just for the dreamers and the innovators. It is a message for all of us. It is a reminder that we should never stop learning, never stop questioning, and never stop pushing ourselves to be better. It is a reminder that we all have the power to make a difference.So, my message to you today is simple: stay hungry, stay foolish. Embrace your curiosity, embrace your dreams, and never be afraid to take risks. In doing so, you will not only shape your own future, but also the future of our world.Thank you.Speech 2: “The Power of Simplicity”Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,Today, I want to talk to you about the power of simplicity. In a world that is becoming increasingly complex, it is easy to get lost in the noise. But, it is simplicity that allows us to cut through the clutter and find clarity.At Apple, we have always believed in the power of simplicity. We strive to create products that are not only beautiful and elegant, but also intuitive and easy to use. We believe that technology should enhance our lives, not complicate them.But simplicity is not just about design; it is about mindset. It is about focusing on what truly matters and eliminating the unnecessary. It is about distilling complex ideas into simple concepts that everyone can understand.Steve Jobs once said, “Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. Butit’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”And move mountains we did. We simplified the way we listen to music with the iPod, we simplified the way we communicate with the iPhone, and we simplified the way we interact with technology with the iPad. And we will continue to simplify, innovate, and push the boundaries of what is possible.But simplicity is not just about technology; it is a way of life. It is about decluttering our minds, our homes, and our lives. It is about finding joy in the simple pleasures and focusing on what truly matters.So, my message to you today is this: embrace simplicity. Look for ways to simplify your life, your work, and your relationships. Cut through the noise and find clarity. And remember, simplicity is not about taking away; it is about adding value.Thank you.Speech 3: “The Power of Failure”Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,Today, I want to talk to you about the power of failure. It may seem counterintuitive, but failure is not something to be feared; it is something to be embraced. It is through failure that we learn, grow, and ultimately succeed.Throughout my career, I have faced numerous setbacks and failures. But it is these experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. It is through failure that I have gained resilience, determination, and the ability to persevere.One of Apple’s most famous failures was the Apple Lisa. It was a commercial failure, but it laid the groundwork for the Macintosh, which went on to become one of the most successful products in Apple’s history. It is a reminder that failure is not the end; it is just a stepping stone on the path to success.Failure also teaches us humility. It reminds us that we are not infallible, that we make mistakes, and that we can always learn and improve. It is through failure that we gain the wisdom and experience to make better decisions in the future.But perhaps most importantly, failure fuels innovation. It is through failure that we discover new ideas, new approaches, and new solutions. It is through failure that we push the boundaries of what is possible and create breakthroughs that change the world. So, my message to you today is this: embrace failure. Don’t be afraid to take risks, to step outside of your comfort zone, and to try new things. Learn from your failures, grow from your setbacks, and let them propel you forward.Remember, failure is not the end; it is just the beginning of a new chapter. It is through failure that we find success.Thank you.。

乔布斯演讲稿英文
乔布斯演讲稿英文Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening. It's an honor to be here today to share with you some thoughts on the topic of "Steve Jobs' Speech".As many of you may know, Steve Jobs was a visionary entrepreneur, and a master of public speaking. His speeches have been studied and analyzed by people all over the world, looking for the secret to his success. What made Steve Jobs such a great speaker? What was it about his speeches that made them so inspiring and memorable?I believe that the answer to these questions lies in the way Jobs was able to connect with his audience. He had a unique ability to speak to the hearts and minds of the people listening to him. He was able to do this by using a combination of clear, concise language, and powerful storytelling.One of the key elements of Jobs' speeches was his ability to tell a story. He would often start his speeches with a personal anecdote or a story about the development of a new product. By using storytelling techniques, Jobs was able to engage his audience and make his points more memorable.Another important aspect of Jobs' speeches was his passion and enthusiasm for the products he was talking about. He believed in thepower of innovation, and he was able to convey his excitement and belief to his audience. This passion and enthusiasm made his speeches more compelling and persuasive.Jobs was also a master of using language to create a sense of anticipation and build excitement. He would often use vivid language and powerful metaphors to describe the features and capabilities of his products. This use of language created a sense of excitement and anticipation among the audience, and made his speeches more memorable.In addition to these techniques, Jobs was also a master of using humor in his speeches. He knew that humor could break the ice and make his audience more comfortable, and he used it to great effect in his speeches.However, Jobs' success as a speaker was not just due to his technical skills. He was also a master of connecting with his audience on a personal level. He was able to do this by being authentic and genuine in his speeches. He didn't try to put on a front or impress his audience with his knowledge or credentials. Instead, he was himself, and this authenticity made his speeches more believable and trustworthy.In conclusion, the secret to Jobs' success as a speaker lies in his ability to connect with his audience. He was able to do this through his use of storytelling, passion and enthusiasm, vivid language, humor, andauthenticity. By studying and learning from Jobs' speeches, we can become better speakers ourselves, and inspire others with our words. Thank you for listening.。
乔布斯离职感言英文版
I stand before you today with a heavy heart, but also with a profound sense of gratitude. As I step down from my role as the CEO of Apple Inc., I want to take a moment to reflect on the journey we have been on together, the incredible achievements we have made, and the challenges that lie ahead.First and foremost, I want to express my deepest appreciation to the Apple family. This has been the greatest privilege of my life to work alongside such a talented and dedicated group of people. From the engineers and designers who bring our products to life, to the sales and support teams who serve our customers with passion, each and every oneof you has played a crucial role in Apple's success.When I joined Apple in 1976, we were a small team of dreamers, united by a shared belief that computers could change the world. We started with the Apple I, a product that was ahead of its time, and we have come a long way since then. Over the past 35 years, we have revolutionized the way people interact with technology, from the Macintosh to the iPhone, the iPad to the Apple Watch.The road has not been easy. We have faced countless challenges, from fierce competition to the loss of a dear friend and colleague, Steve Jobs. But through it all, the spirit of innovation and creativity that defined Apple has never wavered. It is this spirit that has allowed usto push boundaries, to break conventions, and to create products that have touched millions of lives.As I leave my role as CEO, I am filled with a sense of pride and satisfaction. We have built a company that has not only changed the world, but has also become an icon of innovation, design, and excellence. The products we have created have not only changed the way we communicate, work, and play, but they have also inspired a generation to dream big and to pursue their passions.I want to take this opportunity to share some thoughts about the future of Apple and the role I will continue to play.Firstly, I believe that Apple's future is bright. We have an incredibly talented team of leaders who are passionate about what they do and committed to Apple's mission. Tim Cook, our new CEO, has been a close collaborator and a trusted friend for many years. I have every confidence that he will lead Apple to even greater heights.Secondly, I want to emphasize the importance of innovation. Innovationis at the heart of Apple's DNA, and it will continue to be the driving force behind our success. We must never lose sight of our core values and the principles that have guided us since the beginning. We must continue to challenge the status quo, to push the boundaries of what is possible, and to create products that will inspire and amaze the world.Thirdly, I want to talk about the responsibility we have as a company. We are not just a business; we are a community. Our products and services have the power to enrich people's lives, to empower them, and to make the world a better place. We must always strive to use our resources and influence to make a positive impact on society.As I step away from my day-to-day responsibilities, I will continue to be involved with Apple in an advisory capacity. I will work closely with Tim and the rest of the leadership team to ensure that Apple continues to thrive and to achieve its full potential.In closing, I want to thank each and every one of you for the incredible journey we have been on. Your dedication, your creativity, and your commitment have been instrumental in Apple's success. I will always be proud to have been a part of this incredible journey, and I will continue to support Apple from the outside.As we move forward, I want to leave you with a few words of advice:1. Stay hungry, stay foolish. This has been the ethos that has driven us at Apple, and it will continue to be the guiding principle as we look to the future.2. Remember that the only way to do great work is to love what you do. Find what you are passionate about, and pursue it with all your heart.3. Never settle for the status quo. Always strive to be better, to do more, and to achieve more. Push the boundaries of what is possible, and you will surprise yourself.Thank you for everything. The future is bright, and I am confident that Apple will continue to make a difference in the lives of millions around the world.With love and gratitude,Steve Jobs。

乔布斯演讲稿英文版集团文件版本号：（M928-T898-M248-WU2669-I2896-DQ586-M1988）Thank you. I'm honored to be wh you today for your commencement from of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever g o t t e n t o a c o l l e g e g r a d u a t i o n. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for an eighteen months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by alawyer 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 themiddle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. Sheref sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I go to college. This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I na?vely 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 in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all 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 pretty scary at the time, but looking 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 far more interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't 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 seven 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 Istumbled 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. Because I had dropped out and didn't take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.I learned about serif and sans-serif 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 can't capture, and I found it fascinating.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, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in onthat calligraphy class and personals computers 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 10 years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards,so you have to trust that the dots somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I foundwhat I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was twenty. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier,and I'd just turned thirty, and then I got fired. How can youget fired from a company you started Well, as Apple grew, wehired 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 we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at thirty, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what todo for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the batonas it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob 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 something 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'd been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years I started a company named NeXT, anothercompany named Pixar and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient ed it. Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationshipit just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.My third story is about . When I was 17 I read a quote thatwent something like "If you live each day as if it was yourlast, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I amabout to do today" And whenever the answer has been "no" fortoo many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thingI've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctorstold me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. It means to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept. No onewants to die, even who want to go to Heaven don't want to dieto get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinionsdrown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand notfar from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late Sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. it was sort oflike Google in paperback form thirty-five years before Googlecame along. I was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues of the The Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-Seventies and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath were the words, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. "Stay hungry, stay foolish." And I have always wished that for myself, and now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay hungry, stay foolish.Thank you all, very much.。

乔布斯演讲稿中英文
乔布斯演讲稿中英文Ladies and gentlemen, today I am honored to stand before you and share some thoughts on the power of innovation and creativity. As we all know, innovation is the driving force behind progress, and creativity is the heart and soul of every great idea. In my speech today, I would like to emphasize the importance of these two elements by drawing inspiration from the legendary figure, Steve Jobs.乔布斯演讲稿中英文。
乔布斯曾经说过，“Stay hungry, stay foolish.”这句话成为了无数年轻人的座右铭，激励着他们勇敢地追求梦想。
这句话所蕴含的深意是，我们应该保持对生活的渴望和对未知世界的好奇心，永远保持一颗愚者的心态，敢于冒险，敢于突破传统，敢于创新。
正是因为乔布斯敢于放弃安逸，敢于冒险尝试，才有了苹果公司的诞生，才有了iPhone、iPad等一系列的划时代产品。
乔布斯的成功并非偶然，而是源于他对创新和创意的不懈追求。
在他的领导下，苹果公司不断推陈出新，不断挑战自我，不断超越自我。
正是这种不断创新的精神，让苹果公司成为了全球最具创新力和影响力的企业之一。
In the fast-paced world we live in today, it is easy to get caught up in the routine of daily life and forget the importance of staying hungry and staying foolish. However, it is precisely in these moments of complacency that we must remind ourselves of the wordsof Steve Jobs. We must remind ourselves to keep pushing the boundaries, to keep thinking outside the box, and to keep striving for greatness.乔布斯曾经在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上说过，“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when youfind it.”这段话深刻地诠释了乔布斯对创意和激情的理解。

之阿布丰王创作Thank you. I'm 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 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. The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of ReedCollege after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another eighteen months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed 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 lastminute 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've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later 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 go to college.This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I naïvely 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 in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all 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 waspretty scary at the time, but looking 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'tinterest me and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't 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 seven 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. ReedCollege 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. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans-serif 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 can't capture, and I found it fascinating.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, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals 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, veryclear looking backwards 10 years later. 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--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow yourheart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was twenty. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the twoof us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned thirty, and then 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, thingswent well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge, and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at thirty,I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and triedto apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a verypublic failure and I even thought about running away from the Valley. But something 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'd been rejected but I wasstill in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that gettingfired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was WordStrd by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years 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 world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimeslife's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better andbetter as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day ofmy life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "no" for too many daysin a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important thing I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect tolive no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctors' code for "prepare to die." It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them, in just a few months. Itmeans to make sure that everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It meansto say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated but my wife, who was there, told me that whenthey viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctor started crying, because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I am fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and Ihope it's the closest I get for a few more decades.Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful butpurely intellectual concept. No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don't want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention oflife. It's life's change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalogue, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stuart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought itto life with his poetic touch. This was in the late Sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. it was sort of like 谷歌 in paperback form thirty-five years before 谷歌 came along. I was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stuart and his team put out several issues of the The时间：二O二一年七月二十九日Whole Earth Catalogue, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-Seventies and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath were the words, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. "Stay hungry, stay foolish." And I have always wished that for myself, and now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you. Stay hungry, stay foolish.Thank you all, very much.时间：二O二一年七月二十九日。

英语励志演讲：乔布斯辞职前最后一次公开演讲以下是小编给大家整理的英语演讲：乔布斯辞职前最后一次公开演讲，希望能帮到你!英语励志演讲：乔布斯辞职前最后一次公开演讲Cupertino is very famous for Apple Computer. And we are very honor to have Steve Jobs to come here tonight to give us special presentation. Mr. Jobs?苹果如今变得炙手可热Cupertino也沾光不少，今晚我们荣幸地邀请到乔布斯莅临现场。
乔总?Welcome, Mr Jobs: you have a fan club here..欢迎你，这里貌似都是你的粉丝。
Thank you. Apple's grown like a weed, and as you know, we've always been in Cupertino. Started in an office par, eventually, got the buildings, we are in now the corner of the ends of 280.and those buildings hold maybe 2600 or 2800 people. But we've got almost 12,000 people in the area. So we're renting buildings - not very good buildings, either at an ever-greater radius from our campus and we're putting people in those. It is clear that we need to build new campus, so we just add space.谢谢大家。
乔布斯演讲稿英文版精编版
Thank you. I'm honored to be w it h 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 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. The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for an other eighteen months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed 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. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She ref used to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.This was the start in my life. And seventeen years later, I did go to college, but I naïvely 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 in it.I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and no idea of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all 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 pretty scary at the time, but looking 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 far more interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't 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 seven 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. Because I had dropped out anddidn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans-serif 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 can't capture, and I found it fascinating.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, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals 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 10 years later. 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--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was twenty. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4,000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation, the Macintosh, a year earlier, and I'd just turned thirty, and then 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 we did, our board of directors sided with him, and so at thirty, I was out, and very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months.I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down, that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob 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 something 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'd been rejected but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods in my life. During the next five years 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 world's first computer-animated feature film, "Toy Story," and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT and I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance, and Lorene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful-tasting medicine but I guess the patient need ed it. Sometimes life's going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love, and that is as true for work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and like any great relationship it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking. Don't settle.My third story is about death. When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"

And we are very honor to have Steve Jobs to come here tonight to give us special presentation. Mr. Jobs?苹果如今变得炙手可热Cupertino也沾光不少，今晚我们荣幸地邀请到乔布斯莅临现场。
乔总?Welcome, Mr Jobs: you have a fan club here..欢迎你，这里貌似都是你的粉丝。
Thank you. Apple s grown like a weed, and as you know, we ve always been in Cupertino. Started in an office par, eventually, got the buildings, we are in now the corner of the ends of 280.and those buildings hold maybe 2600 or 2800 people. But we ve got almost 12,000 people in the area. So we re renting buildings - not very good buildings, either at an ever-greater radius from our campus and we re putting people in those. It is clear that we need to build new campus, so we just add space.谢谢大家。
苹果如雨后春笋般快速发展着，而Cupertino一直是我们钟爱的土壤。
从开始的工业园到现在的办公大楼280号公路尽头的拐弯处，这几栋楼能容纳 2600到2800名员工。
可实际上我们的员工数量超过了120xx。
不得已只能用租些差劲的写字楼给员工办公。
所以我想把大家转移到离现有园区不远的一片区域。
我们将用新的园区来扩充办公面积。
That doesn t mean we don t need the one we got, we do need it, but we need another one to augment it. So we ve got a plan that let s us stay in Cupertino. And we went out and we bought some land and this land is kind of special, to me. When I was 13, I think, I called up... Hewlett and Packard were my idols. And I called up Bill Hewlett, cause he lived in Palo Alto, and there were no unlisted numbers in the phone book, which gives you a clue to my age. And he picked up the phone and I talked to him and I asked him if he d give me some spare parts for something I was building called a frequency counter. And he did, but in addition to that he gave me something way more important.现有园区也会继续保留，新园区还在Cupertino，因为这里对我巨有意义。
大小我就是惠普创始人 Hewlett和Packard的粉丝。
Hewlett住在Palo Alto，13岁那年我给他打了个电话，年头所有的电话号码都印在大部头里，不好意思，暴露了我的年龄。
我问他是否能送我些零件做频率计数器。
He gave a job that summer. A summer job at Hewlett-Packard, right here (on) in Santa Clara, off 280, the division that built frequency counters. And I was in heaven. Well, right around that exact moment in time, Hewlett and Packard themselves were walking on some property over here in Cupertino, in Pruneridge, and they ended up buying it. And they built their computer systems division there. And as Hewlett - Packard has been shrinking lately, they decided to sell that property and we bought it.他不仅答应了，还给了我一份工作。
惠普的暑期实习，就在Snata Clara 280号公路旁边，我被分在计频器部门，简直像去了天堂。
就在这个时候，惠普在Pruneridge买了块地，并在那里设立了计算机系统部。
We bought that and we bought some adjacent property that all used to be apricot trees, apricot orchards and we ve got about 150 acres. And we should like to put a new campus on that so that we can stay in Cupertino. And we ve come up - we ve hired some great architects to work with, some of the best in the world, I think. And we ve come up with a design that puts 12,000 people in one building.最近惠普并不景气，有意出售这块不动产，我们就买了下来。
顺带还卖笑来原来的一片杏园，总面积有150英亩了。
我想在哪儿建个新园区，继续留在Cupertino。
我们请来最优秀的设计师，希望设计一栋能容纳120xx人的大楼。
Think about that, that s rather odd 12,000 people in a building, in one building. But, we ve seen these office parks with lots of building and they get pretty boring pretty fast. So we d like to do something better than that. And I d like to take you through what we like to do. So this is supposed to work here. Here we go. Can you see this? So here is we are today, which is on Infinite Loop drive, against the intersection of D Anza and the 280.一栋楼装120xx人，是不是跟中国的学生宿舍一样不可思议?你们看过一些工业园区空间拥挤、设计单调，我们希望改变这一切。
给大家看看园区蓝图，看得见么?苹果总部就在这里280号公路和D Anza十字路口的交汇处。
Mr Jobs, yeah, you drawn as print, that s high-tech we ve. Use your finger.Just point in the air...乔总，你可以用演示器，我们这儿也是有高科技的。
What we ve done is we bought this land right here. We try to buy the apartments at the corner but they are not for sale, so we couldn t buy those. And we bought everything else. And the campus we like to build there is one building holds 12,000 people. And it is pretty amazing building. Let me show it to you. It s a little like a spaceship landed, there it is, and it s got this gorgeous courtyard in the middle, but a lot more. So let s take a close look at it. It s a circle.我们买下这块地，本来还想买这初拐角，可对方不卖，我们又不能强拆，所以只得放弃。
我们打算在园区里建一栋楼，容纳120xx人。
听起来很炫，看起来更炫。
华丽吧! 像不像太空飞船?中间还有个大院子，还不止呢。
让我们凑近了看，办公室的外观是个圆环。
体形优美，造价不菲，所有的玻璃都是弧形的线条。
我们建造苹果零售店的经验派上用场了。
It s curved all the way around. If you build things, this is not the cheapest way to build something. There is not a straight piece of glass in this building. It s all curved. We ve used our experience making retail buildings all over the world now, and we know how to make the biggest pieces of glass in the world for architectural use. We can make it curve all the way around the building. And you can see what it look like. It is pretty cool.硕大的弧形玻璃难不倒我们。
