stay,hungry,,stay,foolish(共9篇)
stay,hungry,,stay,foolish(共9篇)stay,hungry,,stay,foolish(一): 请求来源及含义:stay hungry ,stay foolish个人认为Stay Hungry 是对个人是否满足的一种激励.Never be satisfied, never feel fulfilled, always feel thirsty, hungry for knowledge, success and another achievement.而stay foolish 是强调一个人 be modesty to himself.英语有这样一句话,I Know what I know, I don"t know what I don"t Know; I know what I don"t know, I don"t know what I know; I know what I know what I know, I don"t know what I know what I don"t know. 所以stay foolish 强调一个人对自己的知识,所知、所得有一个清晰的认识.对应于未来和所要学习和了解的知识或人生而言,我们每一个人都显得那么无知和浅薄.stay foolish 强调每个人对于知识的起点,无论你是否已经成为知识的伟人或是一位刚刚毕业的大学生.Steven Jobs 对大学毕业生的演讲正是符合了这种精神,对毕业生提出stay hungry 意在希翼be ambitious 和激励奋进;stay foolish 强调我们人生旅途上的所知所得还在继续,做到be wise enough to know we are not the smartest guy yet.个人认为steven jobs的话属于励其志、明其行的人生赠言.希望有所帮助.stay,hungry,,stay,foolish(二): stay hungry,stay foolish.这是苹果公司创始人、IT业最有影响力的人物之一Steve Jobs在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上致辞中的最后一句话,也是整个演讲的核心.他把对年轻人的期望全部包含到了这两个简单的句子中,鼓励学生们追求自己想要的生活.直译:保持饥饿,保持愚蠢.——虽然看起来有点可笑,但意思比较吻合.网上较为流行的一种翻译是“求知若饥,虚心若愚”,或者”好学若饥,谦卑若愚”.个人觉得,尽管从形式和用词上比较玩味,但并不能准确地表达出原文的意思,因为这个 foolish 并非“若愚”所能表达.我的一位朋友将它翻译成:物有所不足,智有所不明.每种译法,都有它的理解与含义.stay,hungry,,stay,foolish(三): Stay hungry,stay foolish.动词后面为何跟形容词这个考点为:系动词+表语,stay:保持=keep、remain一般这个表语不用由形容词直接转化过来的副词,keep quiet而不是quietly.其中alive是形容词,stay alive是:活着常用系动词1)状态系动词用来表示主语状态,只有be一词,例如:He is a teacher.他是一名教师.(is与补足语一起说明主语的身份.)2)持续系动词用来表示主语继续或保持一种状况或态度,主要有keep,rest,remain,stay,lie,stand,例如:He always kept silent at meeting.他开会时总保持沉默.This matter rests a mystery.此事仍是一个谜.3)表像系动词用来表示"看起来像"这一概念,主要有seem,appear,look,例如:He looks tired.他看起来很累.He seems (to be) very sad.他看起来很伤心.4)感官系动词感官系动词主要有feel,smell,sound,taste,例如:This kind of cloth feels very soft.这种布手感很软.This flower smells very sweet.这朵花闻起来很香.5)变化系动词这些系动词表示主语变成什么样,变化系动词主要有become,grow,turn,fall,get,go,come,run.例如:He became mad after that.自那之后,他疯了.She grew rich within a short time.她没多长时间就富了.6)终止系动词表示主语已终止动作,主要有prove,trun out,表达"证实","变成"之意.不举例了.stay,hungry,,stay,foolish(四): 乔布斯说:“Stay hungry,stay foolish.”这句话有几种翻译饥以求知,痴而求真求知似饥,虚心若愚.Jobs的话比我们常说的“空杯心态”要更积极一些.空杯你不一定会往里面装东西,但是“保持饥饿”,你一定会找东西往肚子里填.【stay,hungry,,stay,foolish】stay,hungry,,stay,foolish(五): 求写一篇英语演讲稿:Stay hungry, stay foolish要自己写的,高中水平,300字左右就够了.Stay hungry, stay foolish:Some people are living like kings, but many others can hardy make ends meet.

StayHungry,StayFoolish(中英)
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish——By Steve Paul Jobs(2005斯坦福大学05年毕业演讲)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.今天,很荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。
我从来没从大学毕业过,说实话,这是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。
今天,我只说三个故事,不谈大道理,三个故事就好。
The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事,是关于人生中的点点滴滴如何串连在一起。
I dropped out of Reed College after the first six 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? It started before I was born.我在里德学院(Reed College)待了六个月就办休学了。
到我退学前,一共休学了十八个月。
那么,我为什么休学?这得从我出生前讲起。
stay hungry stay foolish
都说人生充满了劳苦愁烦,乔布斯的愁苦可能从生下来的那一刻就开始了。
她的母亲未婚先孕,私生子乔布斯没做好准备,就来到了人间,他甚至找不到自己的父亲在哪里,而母亲,一位年轻美丽的女孩子,显然没有能力抚养他,决定把可怜的小乔布斯送给别人。
不过这位年轻的未婚妈妈开出的条件看上去有点苛刻,收养小乔布斯的人起码得是大学毕业,达不到这样的学历,一切免谈。
开始,对乔布斯有兴趣的,是一对律师夫妇,他们大老远跑过来看了乔布斯,逗他玩,几乎就要签约,抱走孩子,可是最后一刻,他们反悔了,那位律师的妻子说,其实她更想要一位女孩。
孩子送不出去,年轻的妈妈不免着急。
她的同学来看望,为孩子祷告,祈求神赦免未婚妈妈的罪,求神给小小乔布斯一个美好的家。
几天之后,半夜,电话响了,里面传来一位温柔的声音,问是不是有一名意外出生的男孩需要领养,妈妈睡眼惺忪的说,你们要认养他吗?对方回答,当然。
第二天,一对看上去还算干净的夫妇过来了,简单的手续之后,乔布斯走进了另外一个家庭。
不过插曲也是有的,隔几天,乔布斯的生母发现,那对夫妇文化水平并不高,女人没有上过大学,男人连高中也没毕业,乔布斯的生母拒绝在认养文件上签字。
当然,事实并没有想象的那么糟糕,几个月后,这对夫妇的诚恳感动了乔布斯的生母,他们信誓旦旦地保证,将来一定会让乔布斯上大学。
如此,认养手续终于达成。
日后,乔布斯对朋友们说,他的人生中最值得感恩的父母终于出现,他们节衣缩食,用微薄的工资来养活他,他们辛苦储蓄,为的是将来小乔布斯长大了,能有钱供他上大学。
十七年那年,乔布斯终于考上了里昂大学。
这是一所名不见经传的学校,但是学费几乎和斯坦福大学一样的昂贵。
这害苦了乔布斯的养父母,他们几乎将所有的积蓄都花在乔布斯的学费上,这让年轻的乔布斯于心不忍,日后他说,那时他完全看不到读一所这样的大学能有什么价值,而父母却在寒风中因为缺少一件厚实的大衣瑟瑟发抖。
六个月后,乔布斯做出了他人生中最重大的决定,休学。
stay hungry,stay foolish ( 求知若渴,虚心若愚 )
You've got to find what you love,' Jobs saysThis is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.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 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 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?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. 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 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.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 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 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 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 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 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 have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san 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, 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.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 made all the difference inmy life.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 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. 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. So at 30 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 had 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 of 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 worlds 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, 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.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. Sometimes life hits 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 your 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. 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 until you find it. 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 days in a row, I know I need to change something.Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool 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 to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure 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 and 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 doctors 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 I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its 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 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 is 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 is 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 other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your 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 Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, 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 it 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.Steve JobsYour 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 other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.你们的时间有限,所以不要浪费时间活在别人的生活里。
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish(译文)
斯坦福是世界上最好的大学之一,今天能参加各位的毕业典礼,我备感荣幸。
我从来没有从大学毕业,说句实话,此时算是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。
今天,我想告诉你们我生命中的三个故事,并非什么了不得的大事件,只是三个小故事而已。
第一个故事,是关于串起小小的点点。
(原文为“connecting the dots”漂亮的字体是用高级的算法把点连在一起的,如专于此的Adobe 公司的PostScript字体——译注)我在里德大学呆了6个月就退学了,但之后仍作为旁听生混了18个月后才最终离开。
我为什么要退学呢?故事要从我出生之前开始说起。
我的生母是一名年轻的未婚妈妈,当时她还是一所大学的在读研究生,于是决定把我送给其他人收养。
她坚持我应该被一对念过大学的夫妇收养,所以在我出生的时候,她已经为我被一个律师和他的太太收养做好了所有的准备。
但在最后一刻,这对夫妇改了主意,决定收养一个女孩。
侯选名单上的另外一对夫妇,也就是我的养父母,在一天午夜接到了一通电话:“有一个不请自来的男婴,你们想收养吗?”他们回答:“当然想。
”事后,我的生母才发现我的养母根本就没有从大学毕业,而我的养父甚至连高中都没有毕业,所以她拒绝签署最后的收养文件,直到几个月后,我的养父母保证会把我送到大学,她的态度才有所转变。
17年之后,我真上了大学。
但因为年幼无知,我选择了一所和斯坦福一样昂贵的大学,我的父母都是工人阶级,他们倾其所有资助我的学业。
在6 个月之后,我发现自己完全不知道这样念下去究竟有什么用。
当时,我的人生漫无目标,也不知道大学对我能起到什么帮助,为了念书,还花光了父母毕生的积蓄,所以我决定退学。
我相信车到山前必有路。
当时作这个决定的时候非常害怕,但现在回头去看,这是我这一生所作出的最正确的决定之一。
从我退学那一刻起,我就再也不用去上那些我毫无兴趣的必修课了,我开始旁听那些看来比较有意思的科目。
这件事情做起来一点都不浪漫。
因为没有自己的宿舍,我只能睡在朋友房间的地板上;可乐瓶的押金是5分钱,我把瓶子还回去好用押金买吃的;在每个周日的晚上,我都会步行7英里穿越市区,到Hare Krishna教堂去吃我一周里唯一的一顿大餐。

新世纪大学英语综合教程4课文翻译Unit4-unit7
U4工作、劳动和玩耍就我所知,汉娜·阿伦特小姐是界定工作和劳动之间本质区别的第一人。
一个人要想快乐,第一要有自由感,第二要确信自己有价值。
如果社会迫使一个人去做他自己不喜欢的事,或者说,他所喜欢做的事被社会忽视,看作没有价值或不重要,那他就不会真正快乐。
在一个严格意义上已废除奴隶制的社会里,一个人做的事情是否具有社会价值取决于他是否为完成此项工作得到了报酬。
然而,今天的劳动者可以被称为名副其实的工资奴隶。
如果社会给一个人提供一份他本人不感兴趣的工作,他出于养家糊口的需要不得已才从事这项工作,那这个人就是一个劳动者。
与劳动相对的是玩耍。
玩游戏时,我们能从中得到乐趣,否则就不会玩这个游戏。
但这完全是一种私人的活动,我们玩不玩这个游戏社会是不会关注的。
处在劳动和玩耍之间的是工作。
如果一个人对社会为他支付报酬的工作感兴趣,他就是一个工作者。
从社会角度看是必需的劳动在他自己看来却是自愿的玩耍。
一个职位是劳动还是工作,并不取决于这个职位本身,而是取决于占据这个职位的个人自己的情趣。
这种差异与体力劳动和脑力劳动之间的差异并不吻合。
譬如,一个园丁或者鞋匠也许就是一个工作者,而一个银行职员则可能是一个劳动者。
一个人是工作者还是劳动者可以从他对闲暇的态度上看出来。
对于一个工作者来说,闲暇不过是他需要放松、休息从而进行有效工作的几个小时,所以,他可能只有少量的闲暇,而不会有大量的空闲。
工作者可能会死于心脏病,并会忘记自己妻子的生日。
而对于劳动者来说,闲暇就意味着摆脱强制,所以,他自然会想象:他不得不花费在劳动上的时间越少,而自由自在地玩耍的时间越多,那才越好。
在一个现代化的技术社会里,总人口中有多大比例的人能够像我一样有幸成为工作者呢?我估计大概有16%,而且,我认为这个数字将来也不会增加。
技术和劳动的分工成就了两件事:通过在许多领域取消了特别才能和技术的需要,把过去本来令人愉快的大量受雇职业的工作变成了令人厌倦的劳动;通过提高生产力,缩短了劳动所需的时间。
作文Stay hungry, stay foolish讲课稿

• As a Senior Three student who will take the College Entrance Examination soon, Jobs’ motto has encouraged me greatly and kept me moving forward. No matter how much great success I have achieved, it is not the achievement but the hunger for learning that really matters. There is no end to learning, in which case I must learn not only curiosity but also with modesty. Only by staying hungry and staying foolish will I learn better and get higher scores in the coming College Entrance Examination, thus laying a solid foundation for your future successes.
Stay Hungry, stay Foolish 求知若饥, 虚心若愚 / 求知若渴,大智若愚
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish
• Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple, delivered a speech / an address at the graduation ceremony of Stanford University in 2005. In his speech, he shared an inspiring sentence with all the graduates. It was this sentence that guided him through all the ups and downs in life.
Stay Hungry Stay Foolish
重温著名演说Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish,向乔帮主致敬!虽然我没有一件APPLE的东西,但对乔帮主是深深敬佩。
下面的中文版本对最有名的那句“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”我觉得没有很好的达意,有人翻译成“求知若渴,虚心若愚”感觉也不是很好,我觉得主要的意思:应该是不要轻易满足(stay hungry),不要轻易受所谓世俗的真知灼见约束而不敢越雷池一步\不敢尝试做所谓的蠢事(stay foolish), 要敢于尝试、探索、进取、创新,要相信自己敢于坚持,即使他人看来似乎愚蠢的。
这是符合那本杂志和乔帮主本人的特点的意思,但我也没想到简短传神的翻译“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”,Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech: 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 Reed College 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 you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had nevergraduated 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 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 and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learnedabout 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 billioncompany 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 needed 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 whenever the answer has been "no" for too many days in 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 onlywhat 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 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 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 shouldbe, 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' 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 Stewart Brand not far 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 of like Google in paperback form thirty-five years before Google came along. I was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions. Stewart 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.斯蒂夫·乔布斯:我生命中的三个故事杜然/译(斯坦福)是世界上最好的大学之一,今天能参加各位的毕业典礼,我备感荣幸。

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 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.

秦秀白《新世纪大学英语综合教程(4)》(全文翻译 Unit 4)【圣才出品】
三、全文翻译Text A工作、劳动和玩耍威斯坦·H·奥登1就我所知,汉娜·阿伦特小姐是界定工作和劳动之间本质区别的第一人。
一个人要想快乐,第一要有自由感,第二要确信自己有价值。
如果社会迫使一个人去做他自己不喜欢的事,或者说,他所喜欢做的事被社会忽视,看作没有价值或不重要,那他就不会真正快乐。
在一个严格意义上已废除奴隶制的社会里,一个人做的事情是否具有社会价值取决于他是否为完成此项工作得到了报酬。
然而,今天的劳动者可以被称为名副其实的工资奴隶。
如果社会给一个人提供一份他本人不感兴趣的工作,他出于养家糊口的需要不得已才从事这项工作,那这个人就是一个劳动者。
2与劳动相对的是玩耍。
玩游戏时,我们能从中得到乐趣,否则就不会玩这个游戏。
但这完全是一种私人的活动,我们玩不玩这个游戏社会是不会关注的。
3处在劳动和玩耍之间的是工作。
如果一个人对社会为他支付报酬的工作感兴趣,他就是一个工作者。
从社会角度看是必需的劳动在他自己看来却是自愿的玩耍。
一个职位是劳动还是工作,并不取决于这个职位本身,而是取决于占据这个职位的个人自己的情趣。
这种差异与体力劳动和脑力劳动之间的差异并不吻合。
譬如,一个园丁或者鞋匠也许就是一个工作者,而一个银行职员则可能是一个劳动者。
一个人是工作者还是劳动者可以从他对闲暇的态度上看出来。
对于一个工作者来说,闲暇不过是他需要放松、休息从而进行有效工作的几个小时,所以,他可能只有少量的闲暇,而不会有大量的空闲。
工作者可能会死于心脏病,并会忘记自己妻子的生日。
而对于劳动者来说,闲暇就意味着摆脱强制,所以,他自然会想象:他不得不花费在劳动上的时间越少,而自由自在地玩耍的时间越多,那才越好。
4在一个现代化的技术社会里,总人口中有多大比例的人能够像我一样有幸成为工作者呢?我估计大概有16%,而且,我认为这个数字将来也不会增加。
5技术和劳动的分工成就了两件事:通过在许多领域取消了特别才能和技术的需要,把过去本来令人愉快的大量受雇职业的工作变成了令人厌倦的劳动;通过提高生产力,缩短了劳动所需的时间。

每个人生活的都不容易的经典语录
每个人生活的都不容易的经典语录生命是一段旅程,充满了艰辛与不易。
在路途中,我们遭遇挫折、经历磨难,但也有太多的美好、温馨与繁华,每个人都有自己的故事,每个人都有自己的不容易。
以下是一些经典的语录,希望它们能给你力量与启示,让你的旅途更加美好。
1. Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.这是乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上说的一句经典语录。
乔布斯是近代科技界的传奇人物,他的成功也源于他对于未来的热情与探索精神。
这句话告诉我们,无论我们的成就和财富有多少,我们都应该保持饥渴的心态,不断追求更高的目标。
2. Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.这句话出自玛丽安恩·德尔的诗歌《Courage》。
这是一句非常美丽而富有力量的语句,告诉我们勇气也不总是咆哮和表演,有时候,勇气只是一个小小的声音,告诉我们明天还会更好。
不管你在生活中遭受到多少挫折,记住,明天始终是一个全新的开始。
3. The only way to do great work is to love what you do.另一句乔布斯的名言,这是他在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲中说的。
这句话告诉我们,要想做出伟大的成就,就必须热爱自己所做的事情。
享受工作带来的快乐不仅会让我们更加自信,还能够让我们在工作中更加充满动力和激情。
4. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.这句话出自曾经的著名冰球运动员韦恩·格雷茨基。
这句话告诉我们,如果我们不去尝试,就永远无法成功。
不要害怕失败,因为失败是成功之母,成功的背后往往是一路跌跌撞撞的经历。

Stay Hungry,Stay Foolish
Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.Steve Jobs1I 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 I've ever gotten to a college graduation.Today I want to tell you three storiesfrom 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 first6months,but then stayed around as a drop-in for another18months 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 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.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 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.And17years 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 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 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 interesting.It wasn't all1This is the text of the commencement address by Steve Jobs,CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios,delivered on June12,2005at Stanford University.“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.”romantic.I didn't have a dorm room,so I slept on the floor in friends'rooms,I returned coke bottles for the 5¢deposits to buy food with,and I would walk the 7miles 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 thecountry.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 san serif typefaces,about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations,about what makes great typography great.It was beautiful,historical,artisticallysubtle in a way that science can't capture,and I found itfascinating.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,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.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 —our gut,destiny,life,karma,whatever.This approach has never let me down,and it has made all the difference in my life.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 20.We worked hard,and in 10years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2billion company with over 4000employees.We had just released our finest creation —the Macintosh —a year earlier,and I had just turned 30.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.So at 30I 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 had 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.”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 of 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 worlds 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,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.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.Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.Don't lose faith.I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going wasthat I loved what I did.You've got to find what you love.And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,and theonly way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.And the only way to do great work is to lovewhat 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 you find it.And,like any great relationship,it just gets better and better as the years roll on.So keep lookinguntil you find it.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 33years,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 days in a row,I know I need to change something.Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool 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 7:30in 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 to live no longer than three to six months.My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order,which is doctor's code for prepare to die.It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10years to tell them in just a few months.It means to make sure 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 ter that evening I had a biopsy,where they stuck an endoscope down my throat,through my stomach and 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 doctors“Right now the new is you,but someday not too long from now,you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.”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 I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death,and I hope its 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 purelyintellectual 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 is 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 becleared away.Sorry to be so dramatic,but it is 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.And most important,have the courage to follow your 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 Catalog ,which was one of the bibles of my generation.It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park,and he brought it to life with his poetic touch.This was in the late 1960's,before personal computers and desktop publishing,so it was all made with typewriters,scissors,and polaroid cameras.It was sort of like Google in paperback form,35years before Google came along:it was idealistic,and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog ,and then when it had run its course,they put out a final issue.It was the mid-1970s,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 it 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.。
