可编辑 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Unit1 课文翻译 本文是苹果计算机公司和皮克斯动画工作室的首席执行官史蒂夫·乔布斯于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿。 1 今天,我很荣幸能来到这所世界顶尖大学参加你们的毕业典礼。我大学没有毕业。说实话,现在是我最接近大学毕业的时刻。我在里德学院读了6个月就退学了,但是作为旁听生又在那里待了18个月左右,然后才真正离开学校。那么我为什么要退学呢? 2 这要从我还没有出生的时候说起。我的生母是个年轻未婚的研究生,因此她决定把我送给别人收养。她觉得我必须由有大学学历的人收养。于是,她安排好了一切,只要我一出生,就把我交给一位律师和他的妻子收养。但是我出生之后,他们在最后一刻决定他们还是想要一个女孩。当时我父母还在候补名单上,一天半夜他们接到一个电话,问他们:“有个新生儿,是意外怀上的,是个男孩,你们要吗?”他们回答:“当然要。”但是,我的生母随后发现我母亲大学没有毕业,我父亲甚至连高中也没毕业,因此拒绝在最后几份领养文件上签字。直到几个月后,我父母承诺将来一定让我上大学,她才同意了。这就是我生命的开始。 3 17年后,我确实上了大学。但是出于无知,我选了一所几乎与斯坦福一样昂贵的学校,因此,工薪阶层的父母把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上。6个月过去了,我看不到其中的价值所在。我不知道我的人生定位,也不知道大学将如何帮我找到答案,而我正在这里耗尽父母一生的积蓄。所以我决定退学,并相信一切都会顺利。这在当时看来非常可怕,但现在回头看看,那是我做过的最棒的决定之一。从退学的那一刻起,我就不用再上那些不感兴趣的必修课,而开始去学那些看上去更有意思的课程。但一切也不全是这么美妙。我没有自己的宿舍,只有在朋友的房间里打地铺;我拣可乐瓶子,把退来的5美分押金攒起来去买吃的;而到了每个周日晚上,我都会步行7英里,穿过城镇去克利须那觉悟会的庙宇饱餐一顿。我喜欢这样。我依照好奇心和直觉做事,大多事后证明是非常值得的。让我给你们举个例子:当时里德学院开设可能在全国是最好的书法课程。园里的每一张海报、每一个抽屉的每张标签上都有漂亮的书法。 4 因为我已经辍学,不用参加正规的课程,所以我决定去上这门课,学习书法。我了解了衬线和无衬线字体,学会了如何在不同的字母组合间改变间距,知道了如何让大字体显得很漂亮。这种科学所无法捕捉的、美妙的、充满历史感的微妙艺术,让我心醉神迷。 5 这一切在我的生活中是否实用,我不抱希望。直到10年后,当我们在设计第一台麦金托什电脑时,我想起了这些东西。于是,我们把所有这些都设计进了Mac机。这是第一类拥有漂亮字体排版的电脑。如果我没有在大学旁听那门课程,Mac就不会有多种字体以及间距分配合理的字型,很可能现在的微软PC也不会有这些字型——你们要知道,Windows也只是抄袭Mac,并非独创。如果我从未退学,我就绝不会旁听那门书法课,而个人电脑可能也不会有现在这样美妙的字体排版。在大学的时候,我当然不可能把这些点点滴滴都串起来展望未来。但在十年后再回首,一切都变得非常、非常清晰。 6 同样,你们现在也无法预见这类琐碎的经历之间能有什么联系,只有在回首往事时才能发现。你们要相信,这些片断会在未来以某种方式连接起来。你们必须相信一些东西——勇气、命运、人生、因缘等等。这个方法从未让我失望,也正是它改变了我的整个人生。
Questions on the text 1. What did Steve Jobs do after he dropped out of Reed College? He stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before he really quit. 2. What can we learn from Steve Jobs' narration about his biological 可编辑 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mother? His biological mother was a young college graduate student when she gave birth to Steve Jobs as a single woman. She put up Steve Jobs for adoption, and felt strongly that her son should be adopted by college graduates and sent to college in the future. 3. What kind of people were Steve Jobs' adoptive parents? His parents were a working-class couple without a college degree. His mother never graduated from college and his father never graduated from high school. However, they did send their adopted son to college as they had promised, and this cost them nearly all their savings. 4. Why did Steve Jobs drop out of Reed College? Because he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life and no idea how college was going to help him figure it out. Besides, the college was so expensive that all of his parents' savings were being spent on his tuition. 5. What did Steve Jobs think about his decision of dropping out? Why? He thought it was one of the best decisions he had ever made as he looked back on his past. After he dropped out, he didn't have to take the required classes and he had the opportunity to take classes that interested him. Much of what he learned in this way proved priceless later on. 6. Why did Steve Jobs say his life as a drop-in in the college was not all romantic? Because he was living a shabby life during the 18 months: he didn't have a dorm room, so he slept on the floor in friends' rooms; he returned coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with; he would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. 7. What did Steve Jobs learn in the calligraphy class? He learned about serif and sanserif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. 8. What do you think the graduating students can learn from Steve Jobs' life experience? They might learn to trust in something—their gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. They might also learn to have the confidence to follow their heart even when off the beaten path.
4B 1. At first she threatened to dismiss us all, but later she relented. 2. If you can't have children of your own, why not consider adoption? 3. She sensed something wrong by intuition. 4. She went to Cambridge on a scholarship but dropped out a year later. 5. I fail to see what women find so fascinating about him. 6. We would be delighted as well as honored if you could come and join us.
