18、 when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. (To be continued.),Translation,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。,上海交通大学出版社,Meaning: My biological mother was a young college
19、 graduate student who gave birth to me as a single woman, so she wants to offer me to someone who would be willing to adopt me.,Meaning: All arrangements were made for a lawyer and his wife to take me as their foster child even when I was not actually born yet, but they changed their mind and wanted

23、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。,上海交通大学出版社,Meaning: At first, my natural mother would not sign her approval of the documents, but after a few months, my foster parents assured her that they would provide me wit

27、duated 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.,上海交通大学出版社,2. Text: The Story of Steve Jobs,19,3 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。
28、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。,focus1text,3 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
29、on my college tuition. After six months, I couldnt 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.

33、t wasnt all romantic. I didnt 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 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 w
34、hat 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 ha
35、nd-calligraphed.,Translation,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。,上海交通大学出版社,Meaning: By acting upon my

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.
