2007年乔布斯与比尔盖茨顶尖对话@人人英语2007年乔布斯与比尔·盖茨顶尖对话主持人：第一个我挺感兴趣想问的是The first question that I am kind of interested in asking你们觉得彼此对计算机和科技行业的贡献分别是哪些what you think each has contributed to the computer and technology industry乔布斯，你先来说说盖茨，然后再交换starting with you, Steve, for Bill and vice versa.乔布斯：最关键的一点是盖茨非常专注于软件The biggest thing was that Bill was really focused on software,而且是在大家都还搞不清什么是真正的软件时就开始了before anybody else had a clue it was really the software.主持人：盖茨，你说说乔布斯和苹果的贡献？Bill, how about the contribution of Steve and Apple?盖茨：首先我想澄清，我不是“假的乔布斯”（博客上的一个玩笑）First, I want to clarify I am not fake Steve Jobs.主持人：事实上，我还看了一个1978年的苹果广告是份印刷广告，所以可以看出这是多么久远前的事了Actually I looked at an Apple ad from 1978 It was a print ad that shows you how ancient it was.广告是这样说的，上千人发现了苹果电脑And it said, thousands of people have discovered the Apple Computer.乔布斯：那个时候我们确实有不少古怪的广告We had some very strange ads back then.比如有一个广告取景在厨房There was one that was in the kitchen.有个看起来像是主妇的女人，在用电脑输入菜谱,And there was a woman that looked like the wife，she was typing the recipes on the computer而他的老公在身后赞许地看着她.类似这样的...with her husband looking on approvingly on the back.Stuff like that…主持人：这里有些人可能知道，不过我想大多数人都不知道Some people here, but I don't think most people know苹果二代电脑里其实还装了微软的软件there was actually a Microsoft software on that Apple II Computer.你能说说这是怎么一回事吗？是怎么发生的？Do you want to talk about what happened there? How that occurred?盖茨：最早的苹果二代用的是基于整数运算的Basic操作系统，我们完全没有参与The original Apple II BASIC, the integer BASIC,we had nothing to do with it.后来改版成支持浮点运算的那个（就有微软参与了），这个项目主要是我和沃兹尼亚克一起做的...And then there was a floating-point one,where I mostly worked with Woz on that.乔布斯：让我来说这个故事吧Let me tell the story.我们得到很多反馈，用户希望Basic操作系统能支持浮点运算We are getting a lot of input that people want this BASIC to be floating point.我们都在求沃兹尼亚克求求你！求求你让它支持浮点运算吧Please! Please make this floating point. We are begging Woz.主持人：这里“我们”指的是谁？有多少苹果的人这样要求？Who is "we"? How many people at Apple?乔布斯：这个，其实就我一个。

一. 商务谈判您好！…我叫。

是。

公司的。

这是我们第一次见面，但其实我们是老朋友了，在过去的函电往来中，我经常见到您的名字，久仰了。

How do you do? My name is … from … corp. Though it is the first time for us to meet here, we’re already old friends. I’ve been very familiar with your name in the past business correspondence. I have long expected to see you.This is my first visit to ... and I’m deeply impressed by what I see here.这是我第一次到北京来。

在这里所见到的一切深深打动了我。

您到这儿已经好几天了吧？希望您喜欢我们的城市，在付款问题上你给我们带来了什么好消息呢？You have been here for quite several days, I suppose. I hope that you like our city. What good news have you got for us on the payment?我想在我们双方交往的函电中，我们已经清楚地解释了为什么不能接受你们的建议。

您可知道，你方欲从我方购买的成套设备将涉及一个完整工厂的设备，包括必要的附加部件。

要制造所有这些必须付出大量的时间和金钱。

总而言之，这需要一笔数额巨大的金钱，我们的财务承受不起。

I think we’ve explained to you in our correspondence why we could not accept your proposal. As you know, the complete plant you intend to buy from us will involve in the whole factory equipment including the necessary accessories and parts. It’s time and money consuming to manufacture all these. All in all, it involves a tremendous sum of money which is beyond our means.。

Be it personal or business goals, we can learn a thing or two from people like Gates and Steve Job.Personality is your destiny and attitude leads your to success. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates got a huge success, Apple and Microsoft became their signature. Couple of years ago a group of management scholars from Yale and the University of Pittsburgh tried to discover if there was a link between a company's success and the personality of its boss. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are no exception. In my view, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates lies in their ability to provide themselves goals that are both numerous and exciting. Besides, Apple and Microsoft Corporation has succeeded because of its endless pursuit of innovation.Compare the different of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. I think that the Steve Jobs owes his success to hard work. But when it comes to Bill Gates, his success stems from his personality: an awesome and at times frightening blend of brilliance, drive competitiveness and personal intensity. In a short, Their hard work and courage was an example to all of us.。

Bill Gates VS Steve Jobs正方开篇陈词：Compared with Bill Gates, we think that Steve Jobs has a greater influence in the world, you probably do not think this person has any influence on you, actually, it’s just because you have not realize how great he is.If Jobs did not initially allow Microsoft uses its own graphical interface technology, that we are still carrying a DOS command. If not apples to make the world's first commercial mouse, so now we can only rely on the keyboard input.If not Apple defines modern laptop computer, you probably can only stay at home today with table model machine.反方开篇陈词：Good afternoon teacher and students, Today we are debating the topic“Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, who is more influential?”We anti-part hold the opinion that Bill Gates have greater influence compared with Jobs.We argue that Bill Gates is more influential because he is the most famous businessman and the richest man in theworld.Without a doubt,Bill Gates belongs in the same class as Thomas Edison, Alexander Bell,and other great minds who changed the world.The self-described “hacker” has dominated the personal computing revolution and modernized the whole world in the process.We all know that it is Bill Gates who make it possible for all of us to have access to PC,which has changed people’s way of life and work.Perhaps most importantly,he has donated lots of money he made to charities to help people in need all around the world.So we believe that it’s harder to cry than to laugh. That’s all. Thank you.自由辩论【3】We think that Steve Jobs has a greater influence on the world, his unique ability of innovation has brought great change to the world, which is disruptive changes in people's lifestyles.【4】我方：My fellow debaters,you have to admit that it is Bill Gates who popularizes PC,so without Bill Gates,we wont’t live in an information age and can’t do many creative things to enrich our life.So we think Bill Gates has a greater influence on our daily life.【5】According to our information, actually it is Jobs who first introduce graphical user interface to the computer's operating system, and allows Microsoft to adopt this technology beforeMicrosoft developed out of the windows, otherwise windows may be still use dos today.【6】我方：Although Steven Jobs invented the graphical operating system,but he just kept it a secret and wanted to make lot of money.However,he failed.It didn’t take long that gates created the famous operating system’Windows’.Contrary to Steven Jobs,Bill Gates made it known to public and soon achieve great success.【7】We believe that though Jobs did not directly promote computer to its popularity, But if it had not been for his bring forth the new through form the old , there would be no change with the development of the industry and the world.And he defines modern laptop, his approach is conducive to the protection of the property rights of the technology.【8】我方：Compared with Steven Jobs,the windows system is relatively more open and many more things can be shared for free.It is more like a software eco-system than a software. 【9】我方：Most significant of all,among his software products,the Office is a famous and a revolutionary release,which has changed people’s working.Not only dose itincrease our working efficiency but also make working more convenient.【10】We believe that, compared with Microsoft office, Steve Jobs has a greater impact on people's lifestyles,it is his unique product design concept that makes computers and electronic products have become civilians, making them to be a part of everyone’s lives【11】我方：Also,our great gates invented the XBox ,a famous motion sensing game player.Inside the controller is an accelerometer and a gyroscope to allow the controller to respond to a user's motions,which gives us better and fantastic experiences.【12】We can see clearly, in a variety of teams, the bus, many people use the intelligent mobile phone convenient browsing news, send and receive mail, learning, reading, make every little time to good use , can you deny that all of this is made by Jobs.【13】我方：Dispite his great success on products,he is also a charming and attractive person who has set a good example for teenagers.He has gone to many top universities in the world suchas Harvard and Beijing universities where he delivered speeches to stimulate the youth to realize self value.【14】Obviously, A pple series’ success, not only brings the huge benefit, but also his design philosophy of " less is more, aesthetic supremacy " ,which deeply influence a generation of industrial product, let cold machine printed on the " people-oriented" hot embossing.【15】我方：What’s more,his forward looking ability also plays an important role in his influence.As he put it,when I was 19,I caught sight of the future and based my career on what I saw.I turned out to have been right.The PC is a good proof.【16】For apple’s fact of rising again and standing in the industry forest, it is not difficult to find that, it is Jobs‘accurate market analysis and prospective product design that create all of this, to take this into account, we firmly believe that Jobs is superior than Bill Gates【17】我方：Above all,Bill Gates is a great philanthropist[f ɪ'lænθrəpɪst].Unlike some businessmen,he donated much of his wealth to help people in need.In 2000 January he and his wife established a none-profit charity organization Bill & MelindaGates Foundation aiming at promoting the global health and education in the field of equality.【18】Bill Gates’ generous is really admirable . But wether do or not do charity, it is up on voluntary, there is no right and wrong ,let alone the reason. The person who did the charity is not necessarily a good one.the converse is also true.it has nothing to do with Morality or other things. Each person has his own concept of value, Jobs's purpose is to provide users with the best use of experience, for the development of social civilization has made outstanding contributions, this is a kind of charity, not only donation is charity总结：反方:We hold the opinion that Bill Gates is more influential than Steven Jobs.In science and technology,Gates invented an universal operating system,which makes it possible for people to use computers easily.He has made great contributions to the information age and changed people’s thinking mode and recognition of the world.In the contribution to society,Gates has donated much of his wealth to charities.By contrast,we haven’t heard any news orreports that say Steven Jobs has done some philanthropies to society.To sum up,we strongly believe that Bill Gates is more influential than Steven Jobs.正方：Jobs had a vital impact on the people of America and the world, his success is not because of how much money he earned, or how the successful management experience, but because he presented a concept to the world, an innovative idea, a prospective thinking, an attitude to the life ----" To live to change the world .。

口译英语对话(梦想职业)-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1OneS: 你好，我是来自中央电视台的记者--Sophia。

世界上有各种各样的工作，比如写作、护理、教学和工程师等。

但不同的人选择不同的工作作为他们的理想的职业，因为每个人都有自己的兴趣。

今天，我很高兴就理想职业采访了三名大学生。

你好，Vicky。

如果你能够拥有世界上任何一份工作，你最梦寐以求的是？S：Hello, I’m Sophia, a reporter from CCTV. There are various kinds of jobs in the world, such as writing, nursing, teaching and engineering. But different people choose different jobs as their ideal careers. This is because everyone has his own interest. Today, I’m very glad to interview three college students about their dream job. Hello, Vicky. What is your dream job, if you could have any job in the world? V：My ideal is to be an English teacher in a primary School.V: 我的理想是成为一名小学英语老师。

S：你为什么选择当老师？S: Why do you to be an English teacher?V: I choose to do so mainly for three reasons. First, I want to teach because I like the pace of academic calendar. Two long vacations offer me an opportunity for reflection, research and writing. Secondly, I want to teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lesson, to stimulate myself and my students. And I can have the opportunity to keep on learning. Finally, I want to teach because, being around the students who are beginning to grow and change in front of me, I will grow and change with them too. But teaching is no easy job at all. I must study cleverly to obtain more knowledge. And, at the same time, I will make every effort to purify my soul so that I can become an architect of man＇s soul.V: 我选择这样做主要有三个原因。

关于乔布斯的访谈内容史蒂夫·乔布斯是发明家、企业家、美国苹果公司联合创办人、前行政总裁。

凭敏锐的触觉和过人的智慧，勇于变革，不断创新，把电脑和电子产品变得简约化、平民化，让曾经是昂贵稀罕的电子产品变为现代人生活的一部分。

以下是小编整理的关于乔布斯的访谈内容，欢迎大家阅读。

A级人才的自尊心不需要你呵护公司的真正价值在于员工我十二岁时致电惠普的比尔·休利特(Bill Hewlett,惠普创办人)。

当时电话簿上没有隐藏号码，所以我打开电话簿可以直接查他的名字。

他接电话时我说，“嗨，我叫史帝夫·乔布斯，你不认识我，我今年十二岁，我在制作频率计数器，需要一些零件。

”他就这样跟我谈了二十分钟。

我永远都记得他不但给了我零件，还邀请我夏天去惠普打工。

当时我才12岁，这件事对我产生了不可思议的影响。

惠普是我见过的第一家公司，他让我懂得了什么是公司，如何善待员工。

当时人们还不晓得胆固醇。

他们每天早上十点会推出满满一车的甜甜圈和咖啡，于是大家停下工作，喝杯咖啡品尝甜甜圈。

虽然是些小事，但显然惠普明白公司真正价值在于其员工。

会制造噪音的团队，才会磨出美丽的石头每次(新产品计划)刚开始的时候，我们都有很多很棒的想法，团队对他们的想法深信不疑。

这一刻，我总会想起我小时候的一幕。

街上有个独居的男人，他已经八十岁了，我接近他，想让他雇我帮他除草。

有一天他说，到我的车库来，我有东西给你看。

他拉出老旧的磨石机，架子上只有一个马达、咖啡罐和连接两者的皮带。

接着我们到后院检了一些石头，一些很普通、很不起眼的石头。

我们把石头丢进罐里，倒点溶剂，加点粗砂粉。

之后他盖上盖子，开动电机对我说，“明天再来看看”。

第二天回到车库，我们打开罐子，看到了打磨得异常圆润魅力的石头!本来只是寻常不过的石头，却经由互相摩擦，互相砥砺，发出些许噪音，变成美丽光滑的石头。

在我心里，这个比喻最能代表一个竭尽全力工作的团队。

集合一群才华洋溢的伙伴，通过辩论、对抗、争吵、合作、互相打磨，磨砺彼此的想法，最终才能创造出美丽的“石头”。

我是Bob Cringely。

16年前(1995年)，我制作《书呆子的胜利》节目时采访了乔布斯。

1985年乔布斯被他自己引荐的CEO John Sculley排挤出苹果，接受采访时，乔布斯正在经营他创办的NeXT公司。

18个月后苹果收购了NeXT，又过了半年乔布斯重新掌管苹果。

当年的节目只用了一小段采访，九十年代末采访母带从伦敦运往美国途中遗失。

多年来我们一直以为再也看不到完整的采访，然而几天前导演Paul Sen在车库里发现了一份VHS拷贝。

乔布斯生前很少接受电视采访，如此精彩的访谈更是罕见，它记录了乔布斯的坦率、非凡的魅力和独特的视野。

为了向这位奇人致敬，我们几乎一刀未剪，大部分内容是首次公布于众。

结缘计算机与创业搭档Bob：你是怎么与个人计算机结缘的？乔布斯：我第一次见到计算机是10或11岁，很难回忆当年的情景，我可不是故作老成……大约30多年前，见过电脑的人不多，即使见到，也是在电影里。

电影里的计算机都是装有开盘机的大柜子，闪闪发光，真正了解计算机功能和原理的人不多，有机会接触计算机的人更是寥寥无几。

我有幸在NASA Ames研究中心见到一台，那不是一台完整的计算机，只是一台分时共享的终端机。

设备非常简陋，连显示器都没有，只是一台带键盘的电传打印机：你在键盘上输入指令耐心等待，然后它会哒哒哒地输出结果。

即便如此这玩意也太奇妙了，尤其是对十岁的男孩而言。

你可以用Basic语言或Fortran语言编写程序，机器接受并执行你的设想，然后把结果告诉你，如果结果和设想的一样，说明程序见效了。

这太让人激动了，我完全给计算机迷住了，当然计算机对我而言仍然有些神秘，因为真正的计算机藏在电缆的另一端，而我从未见过。

打那以后我总想着计算机，后来我参加了在惠普组织的兴趣小组，12岁时我打电话给Bill Hewlett(惠普创始人比尔·休利特)，他当时住在惠普。

当时所有电话号码都印在号码簿里，只要翻电话号码簿，就能查到他的电话。

人物一：Ladies and Gentlemen,Good morning!人物二：Welcome to hefei university of technology . Today,we are honored and happy to have 2 person with us.人物一：They are Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and Apple CEO Steve Jobs Let's welcome them with warm applause.比尔盖茨:good morning everyone!乔布斯:hello!人物一: So let’s get started. the first question I was interested in asking is what you think each has contributed to the computer andtechnology industry.乔布斯: Well, you know, Bill built the first software company in the industry .And that was huge. I think the biggest thing was, Bill was reallyfocused on software before almost anybody else had a clue that itwas really the software.人物二:well,and Bill, how about the contribution of Steve and Apple?比尔盖茨: Well, first, I want to clarify: I’m not Fake Steve Jobs.What Steve’s done is quite phenomenal .Steve gave a speechonce, which is one of my favorites, where he talked about, in acertain sense, we build the products that we want to useourselves.so he produce many good products.人物一:thank you!now sceond question:There are many, many companies that are becoming quite powerful. How do you look at the landscapeat this moment and what’s happening especially in the Internetspace?比尔盖茨: Yeah, I had to say it’s a healthy period. there’s a lot of invention that the whole approach of start‐ups, the existing companies who doresearch, we’ll look back at this as one of the great periods ofinvention.乔布斯: I think so, too. There’s a lot of things that are risky right now, which is always a good sign, you know, and you can see through them, youcan see to the other side and go, yes, this could be huge, but there’sa period of risk that, you know, nobody’s ever done it before.人物二: oh,thank you!人物一: Thank you so much. now, I want to ask you some question about donation. First of all, the United States has an ancient proverb:charity begins at home. Does this mean that your family is also akind of charitable activities?比尔盖茨: charity begins at home, this means that, on the family's primary responsibility is to you. It also means that you should observe thesurrounding whether there is a need to help people, give them help. 乔布斯: In the United States, most donations are flowing to the Church. In theory, the Church is for people to be a very common donationchannel. They will be donated to local schools, local charitableorganizations, these are easily accepted by the people, is a goodcharitable way.人物一：oh,I see.Now ,last question.It seems to me that you call on United States wealth wealthy donors come out, is a normal socialphenomena, for example, in the United States people need to pay for15-20% of the tax. But now ,none of the criteria that the rich should bewhat percentage of wealth donated to society. So after following yourdonors, whether or not to know what they do?盖茨：There are two goals, one is people need to donate wisely and learn from each other, through good works, we also encourage people to invest more when I was younger, even if the cause is an equal number of contributions, you will more dynamic young, a better world is what happens, this will contribute to your success.乔布斯：We're doing is different, of course, someone else's actions affect you, your dear person on your influence is particularly large. If we grow,see people will generously, this will affect us. And they see peoplelive a better life, I rarely see a quitter, at least in the past six months,we see people have become more and more generous. When youstart a charitable donation, you will be upgraded人物一: Thank you so much. That was great.人物二: That’s great. Thank you for being here.。

你们二人分别对于计算机行业有过怎样的贡献?乔布斯：比尔建立了行业中第一家软件公司，而且是间大公司。

我想他在业内的所有人还不知道什么是软件公司的时候就建立起了第一家软件企业。

比尔完全专注于软件行业。

盖茨：首先，我需要澄清，我不是假乔布斯。

乔布斯的成就非常的显著。

他拥有难以置信的品位和高雅。

他永远活在未来，能够明确指出明天的方向。

苹果一直在追寻这样的梦想，打造我们想要用的产品。

他总是能指出行业的下一步动作，整个行业都能从他的工作中受益。

主持人谈到了 Apple II型计算机，其中安装了微软的软件。

乔布斯：Steve Wozniak （另一苹果创始人）开发了它的操作系统，但只能支持定点数，不支持浮点运算。

我们希望他能修改支持浮点运算，但他始终没有做到。

微软拥有非常好的浮点Basic，因此我们走到了一起。

盖茨：我把我们的未来都赌在了Apple II会获得成功上。

因此我们同心协力。

乔布斯：要知道当年微软并没有进入应用软件市场，因此这对他们来说确实是一场赌博。

盖茨：我们把赌注压在了苹果操作系统会是图形化上。

最初的Mac OS只有14K。

乔布斯：稍微大一点，20K。

苹果自己开发了它，但比尔和他的团队编写了应用程序。

接下来谈到乔布斯离开苹果的日子。

比尔，当你看到乔布斯离开苹果的时候，你觉得会发生什么？盖茨：我很担心苹果会和其他操作系统趋于同化，比如 Windows和DOS当他们推出512K Mac的时候，整个产品线已经偏离了方向，如果乔布斯在肯定不会发生这种情况。

我曾经在周末给Gil Amelio （时任苹果CEQ下台后即乔布斯回归）打电话，希望提醒他。

然后有一天，乔布斯打电话给我，说："不要再担心 Amelio的事情了。

”主持人谈到1997年乔布斯发表同微软竞争将是毁灭性的言论。

乔布斯：如果苹果和微软竞争，苹果想要赢，微软必须要输，然后苹果也会输。

苹果不需要打败微软，他必须要知道自己是谁，应该做什么。

Host: The first question that I am kind of interested in asking what you think each has contributed to the computer and technology industry, starting with you, Steve, for Bill and vice versa.Jobs: I think the biggest thing was that Bill was really focused on software, before almost anybody else had a clue it was really the software.Host: Bill, how about the contribution of Steve and Apple?Bill: First, I want to clarify I am not fake Steve Jobs.Host: Actually I looked at an Apple ad from 1978 It was a print ad that shows you how ancient it was. And it said, thousands of people have discovered the Apple Computer.Jobs: We had some very strange ads back then. There was one that was in the kitchen. And there was a woman that looked like the wife, and she was typing the recipes on the computer, with her husband looking on approvingly on the back.Stuff like that…Host: Some people here, but I don't think most people know there was actually a Microsoft software on that Apple II Computer. Do you want to talk about what happened there? How that occurred?Bill：The original Apple II BASIC, the integer BASIC,we had nothing to do with it. And then there was a floating-point one,where I mostly worked with Woz on that.Jobs: Let me tell the story. We are getting a lot of input thatpeople want this BASIC to be floating point. Please! Please make this floating point. We are begging Woz.Host: Who is "we"? How many people at Apple?Jobs: Well, me.We are begging Woz to make this floating point. He just never does it. He wrote it by hand on paper.Host: How much was it? I think you were telling us earlier.Bill: Oh, $31,000. For the floating point BASIC. And I flew out to Apple and spent two days there getting the cassette…The cassette tapes were the main ways people stored things at the time. And, you know, that was fun. So we were working together. The schedules were uncertain. The quality was uncertain. And the price...When Steve first came up, it was gonna be an a lot cheaper computer than it end up being. But that was fine.So we made this bet that this paradigm shift would be the graphic interface. Particularly the Macintosh will make it happen with 128K of memory. 22k of which was for the screen buffer, 14k was for the operating system.Host: 14K?!Bill: We were actually negotiating a deal to invest and make some commitment with Gil Amelio. Next thing I know, Steve called me and said, "Don't worry about that negotiation with Gil Amelio，you can just talk to me now."How do you look at yourself in this landscape today? You are competitors in certain ways. We watched the commercials.You get annoyed at each other from time to time. I have to confess I like the PC guy.Jobs: Yes, he is great. I like him.You know the art of those commercials is not to be mean, but actually for the guys to like each other.Bill: Thanks!Jobs: PC guys are great.They got a great heart.Bill: In a few cases like the Zune, if you go over to that group. They think of Apple as the competitor. They love the fact that Apple has created a gigantic market. And they are gonna try and come in and contribute something to that. We love them, 'coz they are all customers. The same processors essentially that the Mac had this is one of those great ironies，that they were switching away from that processor, while the Xbox 360 was adopting it. But for good reasons, actually in both cases. We try and do things that way. So that was the development system for the early people getting their software ready for the introduction of Xbox 360.Jobs: And we never ran an ad on that.Bill: I see. Admirable restraint. That's wonderful restraint.Jobs: There were hundreds of them.Bill: Steve is so known for his restraints.Host: I assume you carry tablet PC.I don't know what brand it is. Maybe you change them up. I don't know. You obviously carry a Macbook Pro, I would guess.Jobs: Yeah. Well, and an iPhone.Host: You have one?Jobs: I do.Host: Right here?Jobs: Yes.Host: He has one. He took it out before.

【必克电话英语】乔布斯经典语录中英双语苹果创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯他的成就和人格魅力影响了一代人和整个世界，他就是拥有梦幻般传奇经历的苹果公司的创始人斯蒂夫·乔布斯。

这个科技领域的梦想家引领并改变了整个科技产业。

这个精力充沛魅力无限的家伙同时也是一个很会鼓动人心的激励大师，甚至在他的平常对话中，经典的语句也常常脱口而出。

这里摘取了一些他的经典语录，希望这些乔氏经典语录对你有所帮助：1.I have decided to drop out, I think this is the right decision. Can not be denied, I was really very scared.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。

2. I followed my intuition and curiosity go, met a lot of things, but later proved to be invaluable.我跟着我的直觉和好奇心走，遇到的很多东西，在后来被证明是无价之宝。

3. You have to believe in something - courage, fate, life, fate, anything. This I believe will never fall, but so that my life has become different.你必须相信一些东西——勇气、命运、生命、缘分，随便什么。

这种相信从不会使我倒下，反而使我的生命变得与众不同。

4. I am aware, so I always go on is that I love what I do. You need to find something you love.我很清楚，使我一直走下去的就是我爱我所做的。

你需要去找到你所爱的东西。

乔布斯与比尔盖茨对话过去30多年中，盖茨和乔布斯两人没少“打口水仗”。

乔布斯生前曾在不同场合表示微软不希望看到苹果的成功，批评微软产品“没品位”以及盖茨为人心胸不够宽广等；而盖茨也反唇相讥，称Mac机执行应用程式有限，iPod成功难以持久等等。

即将公开发行的乔布斯个人传记，则更多的披露了乔布斯在不同人生阶段，对盖茨地个人看法。

据艾萨克斯记载，乔布斯认为盖茨是“完全古怪的”以及“有怪癖的”人。

盖茨则认为，乔布斯要么是将人说得一无是处，要么就是引人误入歧途。

盖茨的这种看法，与微软另一位联合创始人保罗-艾伦（PaulAllen）的言论相似。

艾伦在他今年早些时候出版的自传中，将乔布斯描述为一位“恶毒”的上司，表示如果乔布斯对哪位员工不满，就会在公开场合对其加以羞辱。

《乔布斯传》一书还透露，乔布斯认为盖茨更多的是一名精明的商人。

他对艾萨克森说：“他（盖茨）真的从来不懂技术。

”乔布斯认为盖茨基本上没有想像力，也从未有发明过什么。

正因为如此，“我觉得他更适合做慈善事业，而不是技术工作。

他只是***地掳夺别人的创意而已。

”1997年，乔布斯躺在地上和盖茨打了一天的电话，说服对方收购苹果股票。

（DianaWalker摄）另一方面，对于世人为之倾倒的苹果iPad，盖茨则表示这样的创意“还好”。

更有意思的是，梅兰达-盖茨曾对外表示，“我们家的孩子没什么不能玩的，除了iPods和iPhones。

”“惺惺相惜”1997年重回苹果的乔布斯随后宣布，微软和苹果之间的冷战结束。

据跟拍乔布斯长达22年摄影师戴安娜-沃克尔（DianaWalker）记录，当时乔布斯为了微软收购苹果股票的问题，躺在地板上跟比尔盖兹打了一整天的电话，最后终于说服微软完成这笔价值1.5亿美元交易。

根据这项为期五年的交易，微软网际网路浏览器（InterExplorer）在一段时间里，成为苹果电脑的预设设定。

2007年AllThingsD大会上两大钜子罕有地同时登台，虽然之前乔布斯称iTunes之于Windows个人电脑，就像“给炼狱里的人一杯冰水”，盖茨因此几乎临时拒绝露面，不过，二人一旦同台，就互相称赞和恭维对方，大有惺惺惜惺惺之态。

Passage retelling1. Summary outline:1. The start of Steve Jobs’ life;2. The reason why he dropped out of college;3. What he learned in the calligraphy class after dropping out of college;4. The effect of what he learned in the calligraphy class in his life;5. The implications of Steve Jobs’ story.Reference answer:Steve Jobs was adopted several months after birth since his biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student. As his parents had promised, Jobs did go to college 17 years later. However, he found the college was much too expensive and he couldn’t see the value of attending it, so he dropped out six months later. Then he dropped in on a calligraphy class which he found fascinating. He learned serif and sanserif typefaces and many other things, of which he found an application 10 years later—they were all designed into the first Macintosh computer. It made all the difference in Jobs’ life. If he had never dropped out, he would have never dropped in on the calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have had the wonderful typography that they do. Therefore, one has to trust in something—his/her gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever, and this approach will give one the confidence to follow whatever he/she trusts in.2. Summary outline:1. John’s taking a snapshot of an ancient document alluding to the formula for acquiring wealth;2. John’s work on the document;3. John’s starting the adventurous quest for wealth;4. John’s disappointment when he finished putting the g ems into the holes;5. John’s enlightenment about this adventure.Reference answer:John got the news about an ancient document which was believed to uncover a mysterious formula for acquiring wealth. With a shot at sudden wealth, John began to work on it. He borrowed his neighbor’s camera, went to the library and read books on ancient language. Finally he deciphered the message: to acquire the wealth, the seeker must place eight precious gems in each of the holes in a statue in Egypt. It took him five years to diligently create a business and generate that large sum of money needed for the gems. When he reached the statue, he did as the document had instructed him. However, he was stunned that as soon as he inserted the precious gems into each hole of the statue, they turned to stone, filling the holes, leaving no trace where the holes used to be. John was terribly disappointed and felt he had been on a fool’s errand. He returned home and resumed his business. But at last he realized that the money he had shelled out was a really great investment!3. Summary outline:1. The narrator’s impression of her great-aunt Stephina and her life;2. Her great-aunt’s attitude toward the narrator’s engagement to George and her reaction to George’s lightning visit to England before the marriage;3. Her great-aunt’s own love story;4. The significance and content of the love letter.Reference answer:There was something vital and strong and somehow indestructible in my great-aunt Stephina that inspired so much veneration. As I grew up, I found myself genuinely fond of her. She was delighted with my engagement to George. But one day when I told her that George was going to pay a lightning visit to England, she burst out in extreme frustration and urged me to prevent him from going back.Then she told me her own love story.As a young girl, she fell in love with Richard, who suddenly went back to England after their engagement because his father had died. Richard left her a letter which she still kept unread, believing that she and her sweetheart would never be really parted as long as she had the letter. She asked me to open it and read it to her. The letter turned out to be the minutest directions of how my great-aunt was to escape to England to get married with Richard! My great-aunt never opened it because she had not learned to read. More importantly, she had no one to trust then.5. Summary outline:1. Lindsey’s finding herself or her sister Sara accused of the robberies;2. Lindsey’s search to remove herself from the case;3. Lindsey’s offering the proof to the detectives and their reaction;4. Lindsey’s being put in prison.Reference answer:Lindsey learned from TV news that she or her twin sister Sara was accused of some robberies in Portland, Oregon. Lindsey knew that she was not the perpetrator, and that Sara had been killed the year before in a car accident. In order to remove herself from the case, she drove over to Sara’s home and found three numbers with Oregon area codes. One of them was Sara’s ex-boyfriend named Johnny, who told Lindsey that Sara had gone with him on three of the four crimes.After coming back, she went to the police department to hand in her proof. But there, right before her eyes, stood her mother and her sister “Sara”! Lindsey had the instinct that she had been betrayed by her family, but she was unable to defend her innocence. Lindsey was put in prison, not knowing that she had another sister Cindy, one of the triplets, who should be put behind bars.7. Summary outline:1)The narrato r’s visit to the British Museum;2)The narrator’s suspicion of suffering all the diseases in the book he was reading;3)The narrator’s fear of coming death and his self-examination;4)The narrator’s visit to his doctor;5)The doctor’s prescription for the narrator;6)The effect of the doctor’s prescription.Reference answer:The narrator went to the British Museum to read up on the treatment for hay fever he fancied he had. He picked up a book and read about it. Then, in an unthinking moment, he began to study some other diseases. He was surprised to find that he suffered from those diseases as well. Afterthat he decided to read about all the diseases in the book. In the end, he came to the conclusion that he had every disease described in pharmacology except housema id’s knee. Wondering how long he had to live, he tried to examine himself, but he could not feel his heart. Then he thought he was a medical encyclopedia for practice, so he went to see the doctor, one of his close friends. After hearing the narrator’s com plaints, the doctor wrote out a prescription and handed it to him. The prescription was a diet suggestion: a healthy diet, plenty of exercise and sleep, and no unnecessary worries. Following the instructions of the doctor, he lived a good life.8. Summary outline:1. Problems with some old business maxims;2. Reasons for replacing the five old maxims;3. The correct attitude to maxims.Reference answer:Business advice, no matter how well-known, is bad for the company and its employees alike once it has become obsolete. This point is illustrated with five best-known business maxims. The first one is that failure is not an option. But putting pressure on people for success all the time makes mistakes more likely. On the contrary, failure is often the path to opportunities. Contrary to the second maxim that the customer is always right, it is claimed that the employees shouldn’t be scorned in favor of unreasonable customers. The third maxim is “Never be satisfied,” but people who constantly appreciate all the good in their organization and express their satisfaction create a much more positive working environment. The fourth maxim that “Nice guys finish last” is groundless because one can both be a nice person and succeed in business. According to the fifth maxim, growth should be the top business priority, but there is no correlation between growth and ultimate success. Moreover, growth entails risks. In summary, in doing business, we need think critically and replace outdated ideas with new ones.Interpreting practice:1.After the speech, a reporter interviewed Steve Jobs.
