Reporter: But you didn’t graduate from college. Can you tell us why you dropped out? Jobs: OK. I dropped out six months after I started my studies in Reed College. On the one hand, the tuition was so expensive that all my parents’ savings were being spent on my tuition. On the other hand, I could not see the value of attending the college. So I dropped out. Reporter: What do you think of your decision of dropping out? Jobs: Just as I mentioned in my speech, that was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Since I had dropped out of Reed College, I took a calligraphy class and learned about serif and sanserif typefaces which were designed into Mac 10 years later. Otherwise, personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Reporter: We learn a lot from your story. Thanks for granting my interview.

记者: 记者: 但是您并未读完大学,能给我们讲一下您当时为什么要辍学吗? (drop out) 乔布斯: 乔布斯:好的,我在里德学院读了半年后就辍学了。一方面是因为学费太贵, 我父母一生的积蓄都花在了我的学费上;另一方面,我看不出读大学 的价值所在。所以我就辍学了。 (on the one hand... on the other hand) 记者: 那您怎么看当时这一决定的? 记者: 乔布斯: 乔布斯:就像我刚才演讲中所提到的,这或许是我所做的最棒的决定之一。 我辍学之后参加了书法班,学到了衬线和无衬线字体,10年后这 些在设计Mac时都用上了,不然,很有可能现在的个人电脑就没有这 种美妙的排版设计了。 记者: 记者: 您的故事让我们学到了很多东西。谢谢您接受我的采访。
