第一篇：喬布什斯坦福大學(xué)演講稿

正文蘋果CEO喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)的演講稿[中英]You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

Jobs說，你必須要找到你所愛的東西。

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.這是蘋果公司和Pixar動畫工作室的CEO Steve Jobs于2005年6月12號在斯坦福大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮上面的演講稿。

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.I never graduated from college.Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.Today I want to tell you three stories from my life.That's it.No big deal.Just three stories.我今天很榮幸能和你們一起參加畢業(yè)典禮，斯坦福大學(xué)是世界上最好的大學(xué)之一。我從來沒有從大學(xué)中畢業(yè)。說實話,今天也許是在我的生命中離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一天了。今天我想向你們講述我生活中的三個故事。不是什么大不了的事情,只是三個故事而已。

The first story is about connecting the dots.第一個故事是關(guān)于如何把生命中的點點滴滴串連起來。

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.So why did I drop out?

我在Reed大學(xué)讀了六個月之后就退學(xué)了,但是在十八個月以后——我真正的作出退學(xué)決定之前,我還經(jīng)常去學(xué)校。我為什么要退學(xué)呢？

It started before I was born.My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption.She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife.Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “We have an unexpected

baby boy;do you want him?” They said: “Of course.” My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school.She refused to sign the final adoption papers.She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.故事從我出生的時候講起。我的親生母親是一個年輕的,沒有結(jié)婚的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。她決定讓別人收養(yǎng)我, 她十分想讓我被大學(xué)畢業(yè)生收養(yǎng)。所以在我出生的時候，她已經(jīng)做好了一切的準(zhǔn)備工作，能使得我被一個律師和他的妻子所收養(yǎng)。但是她沒有料到,當(dāng)我出生之后,律師夫婦突然決定他們想要一個女孩。所以我的生養(yǎng)父母（他們還在我親生父母的觀察名單上）突然在半夜接到了一個電話:“我們現(xiàn)在這兒有一個不小心生出來的男嬰,你們想要他嗎？”他們回答道:“當(dāng)然！”但是我親生母親隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)，我的養(yǎng)母從來沒有上過大學(xué),我的父親甚至從沒有讀過高中。她拒絕簽這個收養(yǎng)合同。只是在幾個月以后,我的父母答應(yīng)她一定要讓我上大學(xué),那個時候她才同意。

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 on my college tuition.After six months, I couldn't 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.And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK.It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.在十七歲那年,我真的上了大學(xué)。但是我很愚蠢的選擇了一個幾乎和你們斯坦福大學(xué)一樣貴的學(xué)校, 我父母還處于藍領(lǐng)階層，他們幾乎把所有積蓄都花在了我的學(xué)費上面。在六個月后, 我已經(jīng)看不到其中的價值所在。我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大學(xué)能幫助我找到怎樣的答案。但是在這里，我?guī)缀趸ü饬宋腋改高@一輩子的所有積蓄。所以我決定要退學(xué),我覺得這是個正確的決定。不能否認(rèn),我當(dāng)時確實非常的害怕, 但是現(xiàn)在回頭看看,那的確是我這一生中最棒的一個決定。在我做出退學(xué)決定的那一刻, 我終于可以不必去讀那些令我提不起絲毫興趣的課程了。然后我還可以去修那些看起來有點意思的課程。

It wasn't all romantic.I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5￠ 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 what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.Let me give you one example:

但是這并不是那么羅曼蒂克。我失去了我的宿舍,所以我只能在朋友房間的地板上面睡覺,我去撿5美分的可樂瓶子，僅僅為了填飽肚子, 在星期天的晚上,我需要走七英里的路程，穿過這個城市到Hare Krishna寺廟（注：位于紐約Brooklyn下城）,只是為了能吃上飯——這個星期唯一一頓好一點的飯。但是我喜歡這樣。我跟著我的直覺和好奇心走, 遇到的很多東西,此后被證明是無價之寶。讓我給你們舉一個例子吧：

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 hand calligraphed.Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do

this.I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great.It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.Reed大學(xué)在那時提供也許是全美最好的美術(shù)字課程。在這個大學(xué)里面的每個海報, 每個抽屜的標(biāo)簽上面全都是漂亮的美術(shù)字。因為我退學(xué)了, 沒有受到正規(guī)的訓(xùn)練, 所以我決定去參加這個課程，去學(xué)學(xué)怎樣寫出漂亮的美術(shù)字。我學(xué)到了san serif 和serif字體, 我學(xué)會了怎么樣在不同的字母組合之中改變空格的長度, 還有怎么樣才能作出最棒的印刷式樣。那是一種科學(xué)永遠不能捕捉到的、美麗的、真實的藝術(shù)精妙, 我發(fā)現(xiàn)那實在是太美妙了。

第二篇：布什演講稿

這里是布什在圣誕節(jié)上的演講，你可以參考 President Bush's speech at Christmas

Good morning.As families across our Nation gather to celebrate Christmas, Laura and I send our best wishes for the holidays.We hope that your Christmas will be blessed with family and fellowship.At this special time of year, we give thanks for Christ's message of love and hope.Christmas reminds us that we have a duty to others, and we see that sense of duty fulfilled in the men and women who wear our Nation's uniform.America is blessed to have fine citizens who volunteer to defend us in distant lands.For many of them, this Christmas will be spent far from home, and on Christmas our Nation honors their sacrifice, and thanks them for all they do to defend our freedom.At Christmas, we also recognize the sacrifice of our Nation's military families.Staying behind when a family member goes to war is a heavy burden, and it is particularly hard during the holidays.To all our military families listening today, Laura and I thank you, and we ask the Almighty to bestow His protection and care on your loved ones as they protect our Nation.This Christmas season comes at a time of change here in our Nation's capital--with a new Congress set to arrive, a review of our Iraq strategy underway, and a new Secretary of Defense taking office.If you're serving on the front lines halfway across the world, it is natural to wonder what all this means for you.I want our troops to know that while the coming year will bring change, one thing will not change, and that is our Nation's support for you and the vital work you do to achieve a victory in Iraq.The American people are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, and we will make sure you have the resources you need to accomplish your mission.This Christmas, millions of Americans are coming together to show our deployed forces and wounded warriors love and support.Patriotic groups and charities all across America are sending gifts and care packages to our servicemen and women, visiting our troops recovering at military hospitals, reaching out to children whose moms and dads are serving abroad, and going to airports to welcome our troops home and to let them know they are appreciated by a grateful Nation.One man who's making a difference this holiday season is Jim Wareing.Jim is the founder of New England Caring for Our Military.This year, Jim helped organize a gift drive by thousands of students from Massachusetts and New Hampshire.Students from kindergarten to high school collected more than 20,000 gifts for our troops abroad.The gifts are being sent to troops stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Korea, Japan, and Africa.The care packages include books and puzzles, board games, phone cards, fresh socks, and T-shirts, and about 7,000 handmade holiday greeting cards and posters.Jim says, quote “It's probably always hard for troops to be far away from home, but especially hard on the holidays.I use this as an opportunity to try to pay them back for my freedom.”

Citizens like Jim Wareing represent the true strength of our country, and they make America proud.I urge every American to find some way to thank our military this Christmas season.If you see a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, or a member of the Coast Guard, take a moment to stop and say, “Thanks for your service.” And if you want to reach out to our troops, or help out the military family down the street, the Department of Defense has set up a website to help.It is: AmericaSupportsYou.Mil.This website lists more than 150 compassionate organizations that can use your help.In this season of giving, let us stand with the men and women who stand up for America.

第三篇：布什演講稿

Presidential Farewell Address to the nation by George W.Bush

Thank you.Fellow citizens, for eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your president.The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence, a time set apart.Tonight, with a thankful heart, I have asked for a final opportunity to share some thoughts on the journey we have traveled together and the future of our nation.Five days from now, the world will witness the vitality of American democracy.In a tradition dating back to our founding, the presidency will pass to a successor chosen by you, the American people.Standing on the steps of the Capitol will be a man whose history reflects the enduring promise of our land.This is a moment of hope and pride for our whole nation.And I join all Americans in offering best wishes to President-elect Obama, his wife, Michelle, and their two beautiful girls.Tonight, I am filled with gratitude to Vice President Cheney and members of the administration;to Laura, who brought joy to this house and love to my life;to our wonderful daughters, Barbara and Jenna;to my parents, whose examples have provided strength for a lifetime.And above all, I thank the American people for the trust you have given me.I thank you for the prayers that have lifted my spirits.And I thank you for the countless acts of courage, generosity and grace that I have witnessed these past eight years.This evening, my thoughts return to the first night I addressed you from this house, September 11, 2001.That morning, terrorists took nearly 3,000 lives in the worst attack on America since Pearl Harbor.I remember standing in the rubble of the World Trade Center three days later, surrounded by rescuers who had been working around the clock.I remember talking to brave souls who charged through smoke-filled corridors at the Pentagon and to husbands and wives whose loved ones became heroes aboard Flight 9

3中文翻譯：

各位同胞：在過去的八年間作為你們的總統(tǒng)，是我的榮幸。新世紀(jì)的第一個十年，是重要的十年——一個與眾不同的十年。

今晚，懷著感恩之心，請允許我在這最后的機會分享一些想法，一些有關(guān)總統(tǒng)歷程和國家未來的想法。

五天之后，世界將目擊美國民主的一個重要時刻。按照建國伊始的傳統(tǒng)，總統(tǒng)之職將傳遞給你們——美國人民選擇的繼任者。這位即將站在國會臺階上的人，他的故事正彰顯了我們這塊土地所延續(xù)的承諾。

對我們整個國家來說，這是一個充滿希望與自豪的時刻。我與全體美國人民一道，對候任總統(tǒng)奧巴馬、他的妻子米歇爾和他們那一雙美麗的女兒，致以最美好的祝愿。

今晚，讓我表達對副總統(tǒng)切尼和內(nèi)閣成員的感激之情；我還要感謝勞拉（譯者注：布什的夫人），是你為我們的家庭帶來歡樂，為我的生活帶來愛；還要感謝我們的女兒，芭芭拉和詹納；以及我的父母――是他們的榜樣為我提供了一生的力量。

而最重要的，我要感謝你們――美國人民，感謝你們給予我的信任。感謝你們的祈禱，它振奮著我的靈魂。感謝在過去八年間我所見證過的，無以計數(shù)的勇氣、慷慨、和仁愛。今晚，我的思緒回到2001年9月11日，我第一次在這里向全國發(fā)表講話。

那個早上，恐怖分子在那次自珍珠港事件以來，美國所遭受過的最嚴(yán)重的襲擊中奪去了近3000名美國人民的生命。我記得三天后，我站在世貿(mào)中心的廢墟之中，身邊是加班加點連續(xù)作戰(zhàn)的救援人員。

我記得與那些穿越五角大樓濃煙的勇士們的對話，以及與93航班上殉難英雄們的妻子或丈夫們的交談。

第四篇：布什演講稿

站在這里，我很榮幸，也有點受寵若驚。在我之前，許多美國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人從這里起步；在我之后，也會有許多領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人從這里繼續(xù)前進。在美國悠久的歷史中，我們每個人都有自己的位置；我們還在繼續(xù)推動著歷史前進，但是我們不可能看到它的盡頭。這是一部新世界的發(fā)展史，是一部后浪推前浪的歷史。這是一部美國由奴隸制社會發(fā)展成為崇尚自由的社會的歷史。這是一個強國保護而不是占有世界的歷史，是捍衛(wèi)而不是征服世界的歷史。這就是美國史。它不是一部十全十美的民族發(fā)展史，但它是一部在偉大和永恒理想指導(dǎo)下幾代人團結(jié)奮斗的歷史。

這些理想中最偉大的是正在慢慢實現(xiàn)的美國的承諾，這就是：每個人都有自身的價值，每個人都有成功的機會，每個人天生都會有所作為的。美國人民肩負(fù)著一種使命，那就是要竭力將這個諾言變成生活中和法律上的現(xiàn)實。雖然我們的國家過去在追求實現(xiàn)這個承諾的途中停滯不前甚至倒退，但我們?nèi)詫远ú灰频赝瓿蛇@一使命。

在上個世紀(jì)的大部分時間里，美國自由民主的信念猶如洶涌大海中的巖石。現(xiàn)在它更像風(fēng)中的種子，把自由帶給每個民族。在我們的國家，民主不僅僅是一種信念，而是全人類的希望。民主，我們不會獨占，而會竭力讓大家分享。民主，我們將銘記于心并且不斷傳播。225年過去了，我們?nèi)杂泻荛L的路要走。

有很多公民取得了成功，但也有人開始懷疑，懷疑我們自己的國家所許下的諾言，甚至懷疑它的公正。失敗的教育，潛在的偏見和出身的環(huán)境限制了一些美國人的雄心。有時，我們的分歧是如此之深，似乎我們雖身處同一個大陸，但不屬于同一個國家。我們不能接受這種分歧，也無法容許它的存在。我們的團結(jié)和統(tǒng)一，是每一代領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人和每一個公民的嚴(yán)肅使命。在此，我鄭重宣誓：我將竭力建設(shè)一個公正、充滿機會的統(tǒng)一國家。我知道這是我們的目標(biāo)，因為上帝按自己的身形創(chuàng)造了我們，上帝高于一切的力量將引導(dǎo)我們前進。

對這些將我們團結(jié)起來并指引我們向前的原則，我們充滿信心。血緣、出身或地域從未將美國聯(lián)合起來。只有理想，才能使我們心系一處，超越自己，放棄個人利益，并逐步領(lǐng)會何謂公民。每個孩子都必須學(xué)習(xí)這些原則。每個公民都必須堅持這些原則。每個移民，只有接受這些原則，才能使我們的國家不喪失而更具美國特色。

今天，我們在這里重申一個新的信念，即通過發(fā)揚謙恭、勇氣、同情心和個性的精神來實現(xiàn)我們國家的理想。美國在它最鼎盛時也沒忘記遵循謙遜有禮的原則。一個文明的社會需要我們每個人品質(zhì)優(yōu)良，尊重他人，為人公平和寬宏大量。

有人認(rèn)為我們的政治制度是如此的微不足道，因為在和平年代，我們所爭論的話題都是無關(guān)緊要的。但是，對我們美國來說，我們所討論的問題從來都不是什么小事。如果我們不領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和平事業(yè)，那么和平將無人來領(lǐng)導(dǎo)；如果我們不引導(dǎo)我們的孩子們真心地?zé)釔壑R、發(fā)揮個

性，他們的天分將得不到發(fā)揮，理想將難以實現(xiàn)。如果我們不采取適當(dāng)措施，任憑經(jīng)濟衰退，最大的受害者將是平民百姓。

我們應(yīng)該時刻聽取時代的呼喚。謙遜有禮不是戰(zhàn)術(shù)也不是感情用事。這是我們最堅定的選擇--在批評聲中贏得信任；在混亂中尋求統(tǒng)一。如果遵循這樣的承諾，我們將會享有共同的成就。

美國有強大的國力作后盾，將會勇往直前。

在大蕭條和戰(zhàn)爭時期，我們的人民在困難面前表現(xiàn)得無比英勇，克服我們共同的困難體現(xiàn)了我們共同的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。現(xiàn)在，我們正面臨著選擇，如果我們作出正確的選擇，祖輩一定會激勵我們；如果我們的選擇是錯誤的，祖輩會譴責(zé)我們的。上帝正眷顧著這個國家，我們必須顯示出我們的勇氣，敢于面對問題，而不是將它們遺留給我們的后代。

我們要共同努力，健全美國的學(xué)校教育，不能讓無知和冷漠吞噬更多的年輕生命。我們要改革社會醫(yī)療和保險制度，在力所能及的范圍內(nèi)拯救我們的孩子。我們要減低稅收，恢復(fù)經(jīng)

濟，酬勞辛勤工作的美國人民。我們要防患于未然，懈怠會帶來麻煩。我們還要阻止武器泛濫，使新的世紀(jì)擺脫恐怖的威脅。

反對自由和反對我們國家的人應(yīng)該明白：美國仍將積極參與國際事務(wù)，力求世界力量的均衡，讓自由的力量遍及全球。這是歷史的選擇。我們會保護我們的盟國，捍衛(wèi)我們的利益。我們將謙遜地向世界人民表示我們的目標(biāo)。我們將堅決反擊各種侵略和不守信用的行徑。我們

要向全世界宣傳孕育了我們偉大民族的價值觀。

正處在鼎盛時期的美國也不缺乏同情心。

當(dāng)我們靜心思考，我們就會明了根深蒂固的貧窮根本不值得我國作出承諾。無論我們?nèi)绾慰创毟F的原因，我們都必須承認(rèn)，孩子敢于冒險不等于在犯錯誤。放縱與濫用都為上帝所不容。這些都是缺乏愛的結(jié)果。監(jiān)獄數(shù)量的增長雖然看起來是有必要的，但并不能代替我們心中的希望-人人遵紀(jì)守法。

哪里有痛苦，我們的義務(wù)就在哪里。對我們來說，需要幫助的美國人

第五篇：斯坦福大學(xué)演講稿

So, Dr.King said, “Not everybody can be famous.But everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.” Those of you who are history scholars may know the rest of that passage.He said, “You don't have to have a college degree to serve.You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve.You don't have to know about Plato or Aristotle to serve.You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve.You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve.You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.” 所以，正如馬丁路德金所說，“不是所有人都會成名。但每個人都可以變的偉大，因為偉大是通過為他人服務(wù)而界定的。” 你們當(dāng)中學(xué)歷史的人可能會知道他接下來的話，“為別人提供服務(wù)，并不一定要有大學(xué)學(xué)歷，并不一定要主謂一致，并不一定要認(rèn)識柏拉圖和亞里士多德，并不一定要會愛因斯坦的相對論，并不一定要

In a few moments, you'll all be officially Stanford's '08.不久你們就會正式成為斯坦福大學(xué)2008年的畢業(yè)生了解熱力學(xué)第二定律。你所需要的是一顆優(yōu)雅的心靈和充滿愛的靈魂。” 了。You have the heart and the smarts to go with it.And it's up to you to decide, really, where will you now use those gifts? You've got the diploma, so go out and get the lessons, 'cause I know great things are sure to come.你們有聰明才智。你們將會決定如何利用它。說真的，你們將會如何利用它呢？你們拿到了學(xué)
