这是史蒂夫·乔布斯于2005年在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲。

This is Steve Jobs, speaking at Stanford's graduation in 2005.

他没有大学学位，那一天是他人生中距离大学毕业最近的一刻。

He had no college degree, and that day was the closest he ever came.

我上学六个月后就退学了，转而去旁听那些我真正感兴趣的课程。

I left school after six months and sat in on the classes I actually loved.

其中一门是书法美术课，它极为美妙，但在当时看来对我的未来毫无用处。

One was calligraphy, a beautiful subject with no use for my future at all.

十年之后，当我们设计第一台麦金塔电脑时，那门课的记忆全都回来了。

Ten years later, that class returned while we were building the first Macintosh.

"向前看时你不可能把点串联起来，只有回望过去时，才能把它们连在一起。"

"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward."

二十岁那年，我和朋友在父母的车库里创立了苹果公司。

At twenty I built Apple with a friend, working out of my parents' garage.

十年后公司发展成庞然大物，然而董事会最终却把我踢出了公司。

Ten years on it was a huge company, and then the board pushed me out of it.

"被苹果解雇，是我人生中经历过的最棒的一件事。"

"Getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me."

三十三年以来，我每天早晨都会对着镜子问自己同一个问题。

For thirty-three years I asked my mirror the same question each morning.

如果答案一天又一天都是“不”，我就知道自己该做出改变了。

When the answer kept coming back no, day after day, I knew I had to change something.

他用这四个单词为那场演讲画上了句号："Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."

He closed that speech with four words. "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish."
