乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲中文译文
乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲中文译文Steve Jobs说，你得找出你爱的(You’ve got to find what you love.)。
今天，有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。
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。
第一个故事，是关于人生中的点点滴滴怎么串连在一起。
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。
我的亲生母亲当时是个研究生，年轻未婚妈妈，她决定让别人收养我。
她强烈觉得应该让有大学毕业的人收养我，所以我出生时，她就准备让我被一对律师夫妇收养。
但是这对夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了，他们想收养女孩。
所以在等待收养名单上的一对夫妻，我的养父母，在一天半夜里接到一通电话，问他们「有一名意外出生的男孩，你们要认养他吗？」而他们的回答是「当然要」。
后来，我的生母发现，我现在的妈妈从来没有大学毕业，我现在的爸爸则连高中毕业也没有。
她拒绝在认养文件上做最后签字。
直到几个月后，我的养父母同意将来一定会让我上大学，她才软化态度。
十七年后，我上大学了。
但是当时我无知选了一所学费几乎跟史丹佛一样贵的大学，我那工人阶级的父母所有积蓄都花在我的学费上。
六个月后，我看不出念这个书的价值何在。
那时候，我不知道这辈子要干什么，也不知道念大学能对我有什么帮助，而且我为了念这个书，花光了我父母这辈子的所有积蓄，所以我决定休学，相信船到桥头自然直。
当时这个决定看来相当可怕，可是现在看来，那是我这辈子做过最好的决定之一。
当我休学之后，我再也不用上我没兴趣的必修课，把时间拿去听那些我有兴趣的课。
这一点也不浪漫。
我没有宿舍，所以我睡在友人家里的地板上，靠着回收可乐空罐的五先令退费买吃的，每个星期天晚上得走七里的路绕过大半个镇去印度教的Hare Krishna神庙吃顿好料。
乔布斯演讲Unbroken(坚不可摧)中英文版
Unbroken(坚不可摧)You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.你无法把点滴与未来联系，这能通过回顾才能看见So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.所以你必须相信过去的点滴能串联未来You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.你必须有信念，不管那是你的胆识，命运，人生，还是因果报应。
Because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it lead you off the well worn path. And that will make all the difference.因为把过去点滴串联起来，才能有信念忠于自我，即使你的选择和别人的不一样，这会使你与众不同Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.你的时间是有限的，不要浪费在其他人的生命中。
Don’t be trapped by dogma,which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.别受教条约束，别活在其他人对你的期望之中，Don’t let the noise of others’opinions drown out your own inner voice.You’ve got to find what you love.别让批评抹掉了你内心的声音，你得找到你所爱的东西And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.包括你热爱的事业和你的伴侣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.你的工作占据了你的大量时间，相信你做的工作是对的，才能发自内心的得到满足And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.只有爱你所做的事业才能成就不凡If you haven’t found it yet,keep looking, and don’t settle.如果你还没有找到，继续找，别安逸下来Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become.有勇气顺才自己的心和直觉，你的内心早晚就知道你未来的梦想You’re going to have some ups and you’re goning to have some downs.但是你不可能一路顺遂Most people give up on themselves easily. You know the human spirit is powerful?!大多数人轻易放弃，但你知道人的意志有多坚强吗？There is nothing as powerful. It’s hard to kill the human spirit!意志是无可比拟的坚强又富有韧性的！Anybody can feel good when they have their health, their bills are paid, they have happy relationships.任何人在财富，感情生活，健康良好的环境中，都能感到幸福，Anybody can be positive then,anybody can have a larger vision then,anybody can have faith under those kinds of circumstances.任何人都能自得其满，任何人都能有伟大的理想，任何人在何样的环境下都能有信念The real challenge of growth, mentally, emotionally and spiritually comes when you get knocked down.It takes courage to act.真正的试验你的信念，信仰和意志，是当你被击倒的时候，其身而行需要有勇气，Part of being hungry when you have been defeated.被击到仍能谦虚，It takes courage to start over again.需要有勇气放下并重新开始。

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.谢谢大家。
很荣幸能和你们，来自世界最好大学之一的毕业生们，一块儿参加毕业典礼.老实说，我大学没有毕业，今天恐怕是我一生中离大学毕业最近的一次了。
Today I want to tell you three stories from my life。
That's it. No big deal。
Just three stories.今天我想告诉大家来自我生活的三个故事。
没什么大不了的，只是三个故事而已。
The first story is about connecting the dots。
第一个故事，如何串连生命中的点滴。
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。
My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption。

乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲即生命中的三个故事-中英双语
乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲(英文)New York: 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 birthby 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 signthe 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, it's 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 thedots 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 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 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 DavidPackard 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 returned 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 abrick. 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, allfear 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 isdoctor'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 avery 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 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 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 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, 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.(中文译文)我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。
乔布斯演讲原文与翻译
那是我最接近死亡的时候, 我还希望这也是以后的几十年最接近的一次。从死亡线上又活了过来, 死亡对我来说，
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
只是一个有用但是纯粹是知识上的概念的时候，我可以更肯定一点地对你们说：
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.
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.
没有人愿意死, 即使人们想上天堂, 人们也不会为了去那里而死。但是死亡是我们每个人共同的终点。从来没有人能够逃脱它。也应该如此。因为死亡就是生命中最好的一个发明。

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.。
乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲稿(中文优秀6篇
乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲稿(中文优秀6篇乔布斯英语演讲稿篇一camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. and on the very first day our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that she said we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill camp spirit. and it went like this: r-o-w-d-i-e, that#39;s the way we spell rowdie. rowdie, rowdie, let#39;s get rowdie. yeah. so i couldn#39;t figure out for the life of me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this word incorrectly. (laughter) but i recited a cheer. i recited a cheer along with everybody else. i did my best. and i just waited for the time that i could go off and read my books.but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girl in the bunk came up to me and she asked me, why are you being so mellow? -- mellow, of course, being the exact opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the second time i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned expression on her face and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all work very hard to be outgoing.and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under my bed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guilty about this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling out to me and i was forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn#39;t open that suitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of the summer.now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50 others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow my quiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go, that i should be trying to pass as more of an extrovert. and i always sensed deep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty excellent just as they were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall street lawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be -- partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertive too. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would have preferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made these self-negating choices so reflexively, that i wasn#39;t even aware that i was making them.乔布斯励志演讲稿篇二只上6个月大学就退学为什么还能成功？被自己创办的公司开除为什么没被击垮？经历死去活来之后对人生又会有何改变？我荣幸地在世界上最好的大学的毕业典礼上讲话，但是我从来没大学毕业。
乔布斯2005年斯坦福高中毕业演讲(中英文完整版)
乔布斯2005年斯坦福高中毕业演讲(中英文完整版)乔布斯2005年斯坦福大学毕业演讲（中英文完整版）中文版亲爱的毕业生们，大家好！首先，请允许我向你们表示最热烈的祝贺，因为你们终于毕业了！（掌声）你们终于走出了这所美丽的校园，迎接未知的人生。
今天，我很荣幸能够与你们分享一些我个人的经历和思考。
我们需要从一个专业问题开始。
在之前的许多年里，我一直对死亡有一种直接而深入的了解，它不是从书本上获得的，而是从我与死亡如此之近的亲密接触中得到的。
这是我人生中非常特殊的一段经历。
在以下的十二个月里，我被诊断出患上了胰脏癌晚期。
医生告诉我，我只剩下六个月的寿命。
这个消息让我感到震惊、悲伤和绝望，所有曾经认为重要的东西都变得微不足道了。
在面临死亡的事实时，我开始思考生命的意义和价值。
我曾经问自己，如果今天是我生命的最后一天，我还会做我今天要做的事情吗？引发这个问题的常常是自己对无关紧要的事情的抱怨和牢骚。
当我面对死亡时，我意识到我所面临的问题只是琐碎的细节，对于生命的意义没有任何贡献。
过去33年里，我每天早晨都会照镜子告诉自己：“如果今天是生命的最后一天，我还是要做我今天要做的事情吗？”每当我的回答是“不”太多次时，我就知道我需要做出调整，重新寻找自己的激情和目标。
记住即将去世的事实，是我人生中最重要的教训之一。
当我意识到生命随时都可能终结时，我变得更加勇敢、不怕面对困难和失败。
因为，几乎所有的外部期望和自尊都变得毫无意义，唯有内心的声音才是至关重要的。
曾经，有一段时间，还是个十九岁的学生，我读到了一句名言，深深触动了我。
这句话是：“如果你活在别人的意见中，你的内心永远不会安宁。
”言归正传，让我简要地谈谈关于成功和失败的问题。
我曾经被辞退了公司创办人的职位，这对我来说是一次巨大的失败，而那时我才刚满三十岁。
当时我觉得自己崩溃了，但事实证明，这是对我人生最好的事情之一。
看起来不成功的事情变成了成功的机会，并让我追求我真正热爱的事业。

乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲中文译文
乔布斯斯坦福大学演讲中文译文Steve Jobs说，你得找出你爱的(You’ve got to find what you love.)。
今天，有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。
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。
第一个故事，是关于人生中的点点滴滴怎么串连在一起。
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。
我的亲生母亲当时是个研究生，年轻未婚妈妈，她决定让别人收养我。
她强烈觉得应该让有大学毕业的人收养我，所以我出生时，她就准备让我被一对律师夫妇收养。
但是这对夫妻到了最后一刻反悔了，他们想收养女孩。
所以在等待收养名单上的一对夫妻，我的养父母，在一天半夜里接到一通电话，问他们「有一名意外出生的男孩，你们要认养他吗？」而他们的回答是「当然要」。
后来，我的生母发现，我现在的妈妈从来没有大学毕业，我现在的爸爸则连高中毕业也没有。
她拒绝在认养文件上做最后签字。
直到几个月后，我的养父母同意将来一定会让我上大学，她才软化态度。
十七年后，我上大学了。
但是当时我无知选了一所学费几乎跟史丹佛一样贵的大学，我那工人阶级的父母所有积蓄都花在我的学费上。
六个月后，我看不出念这个书的价值何在。
那时候，我不知道这辈子要干什么，也不知道念大学能对我有什么帮助，而且我为了念这个书，花光了我父母这辈子的所有积蓄，所以我决定休学，相信船到桥头自然直。
当时这个决定看来相当可怕，可是现在看来，那是我这辈子做过最好的决定之一。
当我休学之后，我再也不用上我没兴趣的必修课，把时间拿去听那些我有兴趣的课。
这一点也不浪漫。
我没有宿舍，所以我睡在友人家里的地板上，靠着回收可乐空罐的五先令退费买吃的，每个星期天晚上得走七里的路绕过大半个镇去印度教的Hare Krishna神庙吃顿好料。
乔布斯斯坦福演讲中英文稿
乔布斯斯坦福演讲中英文稿很高兴今天能在这里和大家分享一些我对于人生的想法。
I'm honored to be standing here at Stanford University, a place that has produced some of the greatest minds and ideas in the world. It's through the work of people like you that society progresses, and I'm humbled to be in such esteemed company.我非常荣幸能站在这个位置，在斯坦福大学这个孕育着世界上最伟大头脑和思想的地方与大家分享一些我对人生的看法。
正是有如你们这样杰出的个体，社会才得以进步，我站在这里感到无比谦卑。
I'm not here to give you the usual commencement speech filled with cliché advice. Instead, I want to share with you the story of my own unlikely journey.我今天并不是来给大家颁发毕业演讲，提供一些陈词滥调的建议。
相反，我想和大家分享我的个人不太可能发生的旅程的故事。
I didn't get here by accident. I credit my success to three things: first, having a life-long passion for learning; second, having the good fortune to be in the right place at the right time; and third, having a healthy dose of self-reliance.我并非偶然来到这里。

You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards.你无法把点滴与未来联系，这能通过回顾才能看见So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.所以你必须相信过去的点滴能串联未来You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.你必须有信念，不管那是你的胆识，命运，人生，还是因果报应。
Because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it lead you off the well worn path. And that will make all the difference.因为把过去点滴串联起来，才能有信念忠于自我，即使你的选择和别人的不一样，这会使你与众不同Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.你的时间是有限的，不要浪费在其他人的生命中。
Don’t be trapped by dogma,which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.别受教条约束，别活在其他人对你的期望之中，Don’t let the noise of others’opinions drown out your own inner ’ve got to find what you love.别让批评抹掉了你内心的声音，你得找到你所爱的东西And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.包括你热爱的事业和你的伴侣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.你的工作占据了你的大量时间，相信你做的工作是对的，才能发自内心的得到满足And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.只有爱你所做的事业才能成就不凡If you haven’t found it yet,keep looking, and don’t settle.如果你还没有找到，继续找，别安逸下来Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become.有勇气顺才自己的心和直觉，你的内心早晚就知道你未来的梦想You’re going to have some ups and you’re goning to have some downs.但是你不可能一路顺遂Most people give up on themselves easily.

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。
史蒂夫·乔布斯演讲稿(中英对照)
史蒂夫·乔布斯演讲稿(中英对照)尊敬的毕业生们，今天是一个特别的日子，因为这是一个关于结束和新开始的时刻。
毕业意味着离开这个地方，离开你们引以为豪的教育。
然而，我想说的是，你们离开的同时也进入了一个全新的人生阶段，有着新的选择和挑战。
首先，我想强调的是你们要相信自己的能力。
在我年轻的时候，我曾经读了一本书，叫做《激活隐藏的天才》。
这本书告诉我们，人人都有潜在的创造力和天赋，但是我们必须去发掘它们。
我们不能让任何人告诉我们，我们不能做出某些事。
你们可以做出任何你们想做的事情，只要你们愿意去努力和坚持。
我的第二个建议是，要有勇气去追求自己的梦想。
你们毕业生们都有无限的潜力，但是要发挥它们就要有勇气去追求自己的梦想。
很多人都会告诉你们，你们不可能做到某些事情，但是这是因为他们没有勇气去尝试。
要记住，如果你们想成为一个优秀的人，你们需要有勇气去走不同的路、跳出安逸区。
不要放弃你们的梦想，因为你们的梦想可以成为你们现实的开始。
第三个建议是，坚持不懈。
很多人在一开始就失败了，这是因为他们没有坚持。
要去尝试新的事情、跨出自己的舒适区，但是不要放弃。
在做任何事情的时候，你们都会面临困难和失败，但是要坚持不懈。
如果你们想要做一件事情，你们就必须去坚持，无论困难多大、失败多少次，都要坚持不懈地追求自己的梦想。
最后，我想说的是要爱你们做的事情。
如果你们喜欢你们的工作或者你们的事业，你们会变得更加努力和专注，因为你们是真心喜欢，并且在做自己喜欢的事情中感到快乐和满足。
在我自己的人生经历中，我曾经遇到过很多困难和问题，但是我从未放弃我的梦想。
我喜欢在我专注和独立的工作中挑战自己，并且我愿意为我的梦想而奋斗。
那么，毕业生们，我希望你们收获这些建议，去勇敢地、坚定地，去追求你们的梦想，努力不懈，每天享受你们人生中的美好时刻，爱你们自己的工作和生活。
祝贺你们，祝贺你们的新开始！。

乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲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.谢谢大家。
很荣幸能和你们，来自世界最好大学之一的毕业生们，一块儿参加毕业典礼。
老实说，我大学没有毕业，今天恐怕是我一生中离大学毕业最近的一次了。
Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.今天我想告诉大家来自我生活的三个故事。
没什么大不了的，只是三个故事而已。
The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事，如何串连生命中的点滴。
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. 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 refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.我在里得大学读了六个月就退学了，但是在18个月之后--我真正退学之前，我还常去学校。
乔布斯的演讲稿中英对照
乔布斯的演讲稿中英对照1. Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.领袖和跟风者的区别就在于创新。
Innovation has no limits. The only limit is your imagination. It's time for you to beginthinking out of the box. If you are involved in a growing industry, think of ways tobecome more efficient; more customer friendly; and easier to do business with. If youare involved in a shrinking industry - get out of it quick and change before youbecome obsolete; out of work; or out of business. And remember that procrastinationis not an option here. Start innovating now!创新无极限!只要敢想，没有什么不可能，立即跳出思维的框框吧。
如果你正处于一个上升的朝阳行业，那么尝试去寻找更有效的解决方案:更招消费者喜爱、更简洁的商业模式。
如果你处于一个日渐菱缩的行业，那么赶紧在自己变得跟不上时代之前抽身而出，去换个工作或者转换行业。
不要拖延，立刻开始创新!2. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment whereexcellence is expected.成为卓越的代名词，很多人并不能适合需要杰出素质的环境。
乔布斯演讲全文(中文)
再一次强调，你们没有前瞻意识，你们只能回顾他们。所以你们只能相信这些点可能会关系到你们的未来。无论怎样，你们不得不相信一些事情——你的秉性、命运、生活、因果报应。这个历程从来没有让我放弃，只是让我生活有些不同。
我第二个故事是关于爱和失去。
很幸运，在我生命的早期我便找到我最爱做的事情。
第一个故事是关于这点的。
我退出REED学院在我入学后六个月的时候，但是我徜徉在那里像路人（旁听生）一样直到我真的退学，这期间大约有18个月。
我为什么退学？
这开始在我出生以前。我学生物学的生母是个年轻未婚的大学毕业生，她决定让我被别人收养。她强烈的感觉到我应该被大学毕业生收养。所以万事具备，所有的一切都被安排好了让我在出生时被一个律师和她的妻子所收养，除了在我被正式领养前的最后一分钟，那对律师夫妇决定他们真正想要的是一个女孩。所以我那在等待批准的申请人名单上的父母在半夜接到了一个电话：“意想不到，他是个男孩，你们想要他吗？”“当然”我养父母回答到。我学生物的生母稍后发现我的养母从来没有从大学毕业过，而我的养父甚至高中都没有毕业。她拒绝在最终领养协议上签字。直到几个月之后，他们答应我的生母，有一天我将去上大学，她这才宽容起来，同意了这次收养。
请允许我举一个例子：
那个时候，REED学院可能提供了这个国家最好的书法教学。整个校园每一张海报每一张标签出自每一个创作者都是漂亮的手写字。因为我已经退学了，也没有正常上课，我决定去上一个书法班，学习怎样写漂亮字。学习serif和san serif（两种西文字体，比较工整的），关于在不同字组合之间的间隙的变化，以及什么使得凸版印刷伟大。那是漂亮、历史悠久、极具精妙艺术的，某种意义上说，科学无法比拟。我觉得它真实太梦幻了。
我十分坚信如果我没有离开苹果，这一切都不会发生。这是种剧毒的药，但是我这个病人却恰恰需要。有时候，生活会给你当头棒喝。别失去信仰！我深信我唯一的动力就是去做我所热爱的事情。你们也得找到自己热爱的事情。这是一条适合于工作和爱情的信条。你的工作将占有你生活的很大一部分，而真正让你感到满足的就是去做你认为伟大的工作。

乔布斯在斯坦福大学的演讲稿[中英]苹果计算机公司CEO史蒂夫•乔布斯6.14在斯坦福大学对即将毕业的大学生们进行演讲时说，从大学里辍学是他这一生做出的最为明智的一个选择，因为它逼迫他学会了创新。
乔布斯对操场上挤的满满的毕业生、校友和家长们说：“你的时间有限，所以最好别把它浪费在模仿别人这种事上。
” －－同样地，如果还在学校的话，似乎不应该去模仿退学的牛人们。
You've got to find what you love,' Jobs saysJobs说，你必须要找到你所爱的东西。
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.这是苹果公司和Pixar动画工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12号在斯坦福大学的毕业典礼上面的演讲稿。
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.我今天很荣幸能和你们一起参加毕业典礼，斯坦福大学是世界上最好的大学之一。
我从来没有从大学中毕业。
说实话,今天也许是在我的生命中离大学毕业最近的一天了。
今天我想向你们讲述我生活中的三个故事。
不是什么大不了的事情,只是三个故事而已。
The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事是关于如何把生命中的点点滴滴串连起来。
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?我在Reed大学读了六个月之后就退学了,但是在十八个月以后——我真正的作出退学决定之前,我还经常去学校。
我为什么要退学呢？It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so 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 thatmy 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.故事从我出生的时候讲起。
我的亲生母亲是一个年轻的,没有结婚的大学毕业生。
她决定让别人收养我, 她十分想让我被大学毕业生收养。
所以在我出生的时候，她已经做好了一切的准备工作，能使得我被一个律师和他的妻子所收养。
但是她没有料到,当我出生之后,律师夫妇突然决定他们想要一个女孩。
所以我的生养父母（他们还在我亲生父母的观察名单上）突然在半夜接到了一个电话:“我们现在这儿有一个不小心生出来的男婴,你们想要他吗？”他们回答道:“当然！”但是我亲生母亲随后发现，我的养母从来没有上过大学,我的父亲甚至从没有读过高中。
她拒绝签这个收养合同。
只是在几个月以后,我的父母答应她一定要让我上大学,那个时候她才同意。
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value 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.在十七岁那年,我真的上了大学。
但是我很愚蠢的选择了一个几乎和你们斯坦福大学一样贵的学校, 我父母还处于蓝领阶层，他们几乎把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上面。
在六个月后, 我已经看不到其中的价值所在。
我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大学能帮助我找到怎样的答案。
但是在这里，我几乎花光了我父母这一辈子的所有积蓄。
所以我决定要退学,我觉得这是个正确的决定。
不能否认,我当时确实非常的害怕, 但是现在回头看看,那的确是我这一生中最棒的一个决定。
在我做出退学决定的那一刻, 我终于可以不必去读那些令我提不起丝毫兴趣的课程了。
然后我还可以去修那些看起来有点意思的课程。
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:但是这并不是那么罗曼蒂克。
我失去了我的宿舍,所以我只能在朋友房间的地板上面睡觉,我去捡5美分的可乐瓶子，仅仅为了填饱肚子, 在星期天的晚上,我需要走七英里的路程，穿过这个城市到Hare Krishna寺庙（注：位于纽约Brooklyn下城）,只是为了能吃上饭——这个星期唯一一顿好一点的饭。
但是我喜欢这样。
我跟着我的直觉和好奇心走, 遇到的很多东西,此后被证明是无价之宝。
让我给你们举一个例子吧：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 decidedto 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.Reed大学在那时提供也许是全美最好的美术字课程。
