Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators — brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.
By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity. By making computers personal and putting the internet in our pockets, he made the information revolution not only accessible, but intuitive and fun. And by turning his talents to storytelling, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups alike. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. Because he did, he transformed our lives, redefined entire industries, and achieved one of the rarest feats in human history: he changed the way each of us sees the world.
The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Steve’s wife Laurene, his family, and all those who loved him.

得知乔布斯去世的消息,我和米歇尔感到非常悲痛。乔布斯是美国最伟大的创新者之一,他敢于与众不同地思考,大胆地相信自己能够改变世界,并拥有足够的才智做到这一点。
他在自己的车库里创建起全世界最成功的公司之一,展示了美国的独创精神。他开创了个人电脑时代并将因特网放进我们的口袋,信息革命也因此而来到人们的身边,并变得直观而有趣。他还把自己的才华用在讲故事上,把快乐带给了数以百万计的儿童和成年人。乔布斯喜欢说自己把每天都当做最后一天来过。因为他这样做了,他就此改变了我们的生活,重新定义了整个行业,并创造了人类历史上最罕见的奇迹之一:他改变了我们每个人观察世界的方式。
世界失去了一位有远见的人。乔布斯的成功所赢得的崇高敬意莫过于这样一个事实:世界上许多人是通过他发明的产品得知他辞世的消息的。我和米歇尔向乔布斯的妻子劳伦、他的家人以及所有爱他的人送上我们的哀思与祈祷。

摘录:这些信的魅力在于它们真的是来自另一个时代,因为我认为写情书真的已经成为科技时代我们丢失的一门艺术。
"Every day and every night I want to see you and be with you. Yet I have no feeling of selfish ownership or jealousy. In fact I should always want you to live just as you wanted - because if you didn't then you would change and wouldn't be you," Nixon wrote in one of the letters, part of a rotating display at the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.
“每一天我都想看见你,每一天我都想和你待一起,这绝不是出于占有欲或嫉妒心里。事实上,我总是希望你能过你想要的生活--因为如果你不能这样,那么你就变了,那样你就不是我爱的那个你了。”尼克松在其中一封信中这样写到。这是在尼克松总统图书馆和博物馆巡回展出的其中一部分。
"Let's go for a long ride Sundays; let's go to the mountains weekends; let's read books in front of fires; most of all let's really grow together and find the happiness we know is ours," he continued.
“在星期天我们出去骑车;在周末我们去爬山;在火堆前我们一起阅读;最重要的是我们在一起成长,并找到了正如我们了解的属于我们的幸福”。他接着说。
Nixon, who served as U.S. president from 1969 to 1974, stepped down in the face of almost certain impeachment due to the involvement of his aides and campaign in an attempt to bug his political opponents' offices at the Watergate complex and the subsequent cover-up.
尼克松1969年至1974年任职美国总统。尼克松辞职下台。
He was pardoned a month after he left office by his successor, President Gerald Ford. Nixon, whose wife stood by him throughout a scandal that damaged national trust in the White House and government, died in 1994.
在他卸任一个月后,下一任总统杰拉尔德·福特宣布对他的这一事件表示谅解。尼克松的夫人在整个丑闻事件中一直陪伴着尼克松,而这一丑闻也引发了全国民众对白宫及政府的不信任感。尼克松于1994年逝世。
The letters on display illustrate the couple's courtship between the time they met during tryouts for a community play in Whittier, California, in 1938 and when they were later married in 1940, nearly three decades before they became president and first lady.
展出的这些信件也诠释了这对夫妇的恩爱不离,从1938年他们在美国加州西南部城市惠蒂尔一个社区戏剧试演时相遇到1940年他们结婚。在他们成为总统和第一夫人前他们共度了将近30年时间。
"What's so charming about these letters is that they are really from another time, because I think the writing of love letters has really become a lost art with technology," said exhibit curator Bob Bostock.
“这些信的魅力在于它们真的是来自另一个时代,因为我认为写情书真的已经成为科技时代我们丢失的一门艺术。”展览馆长鲍勃如是说。
He said that while Nixon's letters showed a romantic side of the former president, Pat Ryan's letters tended to be "a bit lighter, humorous."
他还说,当尼克松的情书展示了前总统浪漫一面的同时,总统夫人帕特·瑞安的信件则显得“语言平淡和有幽默感”。
In one, she writes: "Hi-ho, Hi-ho! How does it go? It would be good to see and hear -- . Night school is over about 9 so if you are through with club meeting perhaps I'll see you?" In another letter, she offers to "burn a hamburger" for her sweetheart if he visits her on a Wednesday evening.
在其中一封信中,她写到:“嗨,最近怎么样?要是能看到你听到你的声音就好了!夜校在九点左右结束,如果你那时参加俱乐部会议,也许我会遇到你?” 在另一封信里,她表示如果他星期三的晚上来看她,她就“烤一个汉堡”给她心爱的人。
Six of the letters, three penned by Nixon and three by his future wife out of a collection of several dozen, will be on rotating display in the Nixon library in Yorba Linda, California, through September 3 as part of an exhibit to mark what would have been Pat Nixon's 100th birthday. She died in 1993.
六封情书有三封出自尼克松之手,三封属于他的妻子。这些从上百封情书中挑出来的情书将会在加州约巴林达市的尼克松图书馆进行巡回展出,展览将作为帕特·瑞安百岁诞辰纪念活动的一部分。今年的9月3日正是帕特·瑞安百岁诞辰,帕特·雷恩于1993年逝世。

摘录:
Does the idea of expressing your feelings to someone you care for make you feel nervous and tongue-tied? Writing a letter of love gives you the chance to take your time and use the right words to express your admiration and appreciation for your nearest and dearest. Whether you make the letter silly, funny, funky,or romantic, your words will come from the heart。
对你关心的人的表达你的感受,一想到这个是否让你感到紧张,舌头打结?写一封情书可以让你花时间,使用正确的词语来对你最亲近和亲爱的人表达你的爱慕和赞赏。不管你把情书写得很傻很搞笑,还是很潮很浪漫,你的话语将发自内心。
1. Use an intriguing opener。
使用吸引人的开场。
Do you have a special name who you call your beloved? You might want to use it at the start to immediately catch his or her attention. If not, consider using words like “My Dear,” “My Darling,” or “My Love” or something that is meaningful to you。
你对你爱的人有没有特别的称呼?你可能希望用它来吸引他/她的注意力。如果没有,考虑使用“我亲爱的”或者“我的爱”或者其他对你们来说有意义的称呼。
2. Tell the person exactly why you're taking the time to write。
告诉那个人你为什么要写这份情书。
A love letter is different from any other type of correspondence, so make sure you tell the object of your affection from the outset the reason for your letter。
情书不同于其他任何形式的通信,因此确保在情书的开始你告诉对方你的感情。
3. Discuss a happy memory the two of you shared。
分享一两个你们的快乐记忆。
During the time you have spent together, there have no doubt been many happy times. As you are writing your letter, relive one in detail and share your impressions of the event with your beloved. You'll get bonus points if it's something that he or she may have forgotten over time。在你们一起度过的时间中,无疑有很多快乐的时光。在你写情书时,与你爱的人重温一件事情的细节或者分享你的感受。如果这是他/她随时间推移已经忘记的事,这将给你的情书加分。
4. Mention your beloved's best qualities。提及你爱人的闪光点。
What makes your special person stand out from anyone else you know? Write it down and put it in your letter. The things you appreciate most may not be the things your beloved considers to be his or her most obvious strengths, so just speak from your heart. If you need a writing prompt, start with a partial sentence like:
是什么使得你的爱人从你认识的人中脱颖而出?写下来,写进情书中。你称赞的事情需要是你爱的人自己认为是长处的地方,因此发自内心的表达。如果你需要提示,请以下面的句子开始:
“I appreciate you most when you…”
“当你……时我特别欣赏你。”
“Your greatest strength is…”
“你最大的优势是……”
“The thing I think of first when your name comes to mind is…”
“当我想你的名字,我能想到的是……”
Complete the sentence with the first impression that you get. It will more than likely be the right one for your letter。
以你的第一反应来完成这些句子。这很有可能是最正确的。
5. Talk about the difference he or she has made in your life。
谈谈他对你人生带来的改变。
Naturally, your life has changed for the better since you met the person to whom you are writing, and you'll want to share this information in your love letter. This is not the place to mention any past loves, since that part of your life is over (and hopefully done with)。 You do want to share how much richer and fulfilling your life is now that your special someone is part of it。
显然,在你遇见他/她时,你的人生已经变美好了,你会想在你的情书中与之分享这个信息。这里不能提及任何前男女友,因为那部分生活已经结束了(希望如此)。你确实需要与之分享的是:当某人出现在你生活中时,你的生活变得多么丰富和满意。
6. Choose the right stationery for your letter。
选择合适的信纸。
Since a love letter is not a standard piece of correspondence, you don't necessarily want to write it on plain paper. Pay a visit to a store and look for some special paper in a favorite color or style that will set it apart. Don't forget to buy an envelope, too. You'll have to decide whether you want to hand-deliver your letter, mail it, or leave it somewhere for your beloved to find. Another option is to arrange for your letter to be deliveredby a courier company, which means you will be sure that it reaches your beloved on a particular day。
由于情书不是标准意义的书信,你不需要在素色的纸上写它。去商店看看,买一点喜爱的颜色或样式的特别的纸。别忘了也要买个信封。你需要决定是否亲自送你的信,是寄出去或者留在你心爱的人能找到的地方。另一个选择是把你的信交给一个快递公司,这将确保它能在特定的一天抵达。
7. Pen and paper is best for short notes。
短情书最好使用笔和纸。
If you are writing a short love letter, then do pick up a pen and paper. Not everyone has good penmanship skills, and if you are going to be writing a letter that is several pages in length, you can do your composing in a keyboard. The advantage of this option is that you can edit and move your text around if you don't like the way you have written it in your first draft。
如果你在写一个短情书,请用笔和纸。并不是所有人都有很好的书法,如果你打算写好几页很长的情书,你可以用电脑打稿。这种选择的好处是,如果你不满意你的初稿,你可以编辑或删除你的文字。
8. Choose a romantic font。选择浪漫的字体。
If you decide to use your keyboard to compose your love letter, be sure to change your font. Now is not the time to stick to a standard business font like Times New Roman 12 or Helvetica Regular 12. Experiment with the fonts in your word processing program to find one that you like and that fits the occasion。
如果你想用电脑来写情书,记得更改你的字体。现在不是使用标准商务字体例如12号Times New Roman或者12号Helvetica Regular的时候。在你处理文字的过程中可以尝试使用不同的字体,来找到你最喜欢的最应景的字体。
9. Write your letter and let it sit for a day or two before sending。
写完信后过一两天再寄出去。
Love letters are, by definition, highly emotional exercises. Read what you have written before sending it to your beloved after you have had some time to digest it. If you are happy with the results, send it。
按照定义我们就能看出,情书是情感的高度体现。在寄给你爱的人前,读几遍你写的东西,这样你有时间消化它。如果你对结果很满意,就把情书寄出去吧。
10. Your letter doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful。
并不是完美的才有意义。
No one is looking for perfection in a love letter. Just write what is in your heart, and you'll be using exactly the right language。
没有人会渴望完美的情书。仅仅写一下你心里的想法,你就会找到最合适的语言。

这里给大家抓取英文演讲稿中的一个故事,让我们在阅读中体味生活的智慧。
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 of how college was going to help me figure it out, and here I was, spending all 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 far more interesting.
十七年后,我上大学了,但是我很无知地选了一所差不多和斯坦福一样贵的学校,几乎花掉我那蓝领阶层养父母一生的积蓄。六个月后,我觉得不值得。我看不出自己以后要做什么,也不晓得大学会怎样帮我指点迷津,而我却在花销父母一生的积蓄。所以我决定退学,并且相信没有做错。一开始非常吓人,但回忆起来,这却是我一生中作的最好的决定之一。从我退学的那一刻起,我可以停止一切不感兴趣的必修课,开始旁听那些有意思得多的课。
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 five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven 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.
事情并不那么美好。我没有宿舍可住,睡在朋友房间的地上。为了吃饭,我收集五分一个的旧可乐瓶,每个星期天晚上步行七英里到哈尔-克里什纳庙里改善一下一周的伙食。我喜欢这种生活方式。能够遵循自己的好奇和直觉前行后来被证明是多么的珍贵。让我来给你们举个例子吧。
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 sans-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.
当时的里德大学提供可能是全国最好的书法指导。校园中每一张海报,抽屉上的每一张标签,都是漂亮的手写体。由于我已退学,不用修那些必修课,我决定选一门书法课上上。在这门课上,我学会了“serif”和"sans-serif"两种字体、学会了怎样在不同的字母组合中改变字间距、学会了怎样写出好的字来。这是一种科学无法捕捉的微妙,楚楚动人、充满历史底蕴和艺术性,我觉得自己被完全吸引了。
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. 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. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts, and since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.
当时我并不指望书法在以后的生活中能有什么实用价值。但是,十年之后,我们在设计第一台 Macintosh计算机时,它一下子浮现在我眼前。于是,我们把这些东西全都设计进了计算机中。这是第一台有这么漂亮的文字版式的计算机。要不是我当初在大学里偶然选了这么一门课,Macintosh计算机绝不会有那么多种印刷字体或间距安排合理的字号。要不是Windows照搬了 Macintosh,个人电脑可能不会有这些字体和字号。
If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class and personals computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.
要不是退了学,我决不会碰巧选了这门书法课,个人电脑也可能不会有现在这些漂亮的版式了。 Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college, but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.
当然,我在大学里不可能从这一点上看到它与将来的关系。十年之后再回头看,两者之间关系就非常、非常清楚了。你们同样不可能从现在这个点上看到将来;只有回头看时,才会发现它们之间的关系。所以你必须相信,那些点点滴滴,会在你未来的生命里,以某种方式串联起来。你必须相信一些东西——你的勇气、宿命、生活、因缘,随便什么——因为相信这些点滴能够一路连接会给你带来循从本觉的自信,它使你远离平凡,变得与众不同。

导语: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,希望这些乔氏语录对你有所帮助
1. Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
领袖和跟风者的区别就在于创新。
Innovation has no limits. The only limit is your imagination. It's time for you to begin thinking out of the box. If you are involved in a growing industry, think of ways to become more efficient; more customer friendly; and easier to do business with. If you are involved in a shrinking industry – get out of it quick and change before you become obsolete; out of work; or out of business. And remember that procrastination is not an option here. Start innovating now!
创新无极限!只要敢想,没有什么不可能,立即跳出思维的框框吧。如果你正处于一个上升的朝阳行业,那么尝试去寻找更有效的解决方案:更招消费者喜爱、更简洁的商业模式。如果你处于一个日渐萎缩的行业,那么赶紧在自己变得跟不上时代之前抽身而出,去换个工作或者转换行业。不要拖延,立刻开始创新!
2. Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected.
成为卓越的代名词,很多人并不能适合需要杰出素质的环境。
There is no shortcut to excellence. You will have to make the commitment to make excellence your priority. Use your talents, abilities, and skills in the best way possible and get ahead of others by giving that little extra. Live by a higher standard and pay attention to the details that really do make the difference. Excellence is not difficult - simply decide right now to give it your best shot - and you will be amazed with what life gives you back.
成功没有捷径。你必须把卓越转变成你身上的一个特质。最大限度地发挥你的天赋、才能、技巧,把其他所有人甩在你后面。高标准严格自己,把注意力集中在那些将会改变一切的细节上。变得卓越并不艰难——从现在开始尽自己最大能力去做——你会发现生活将给你惊人的回报。
3. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
成就一番伟业的唯一途径就是热爱自己的事业。如果你还没能找到让自己热爱的事业,继续寻找,不要放弃。跟随自己的心,总有一天你会找到的。
I've got it down to four words: "Do what you love." Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. Having a sense of purpose and striving towards goals gives life meaning, direction and satisfaction. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is 'no', keep looking, you'll know when you find it.
“我把这段话浓缩为:“做我所爱”。去寻找一个能给你的生命带来意义、价值和让你感觉充实的事业。拥有使命感和目标感才能给生命带来意义、价值和充实。这不仅对你的健康和寿命有益处,而且即使在你处于困境的时候你也会感觉良好。在每周一的早上,你能不能利索的爬起来并且对工作日充满期待?如果不能,那么你得重新去寻找。你会感觉得到你是不是真的找到了。
4. You know, we don't grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved... I mean, we're constantly taking things. It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge.
并不是每个人都需要种植自己的粮食,也不是每个人都需要做自己穿的衣服,我们说着别人发明的语言,使用别人发明的数学……我们一直在使用别人的成果。使用人类的已有经验和知识来进行发明创造是一件很了不起的事情。”
Live in a way that is ethically responsible. Try to make a difference in this world and contribute to the higher good. You'll find it gives more meaning to your life and it's a great antidote to boredom. There is always so much to be done. And talk to others about what you are doing. Don't preach or be self-righteous, or fanatical about it, that just puts people off, but at the same time, don't be shy about setting an example, and use opportunities that arise to let others know what you are doing.
带着责任感生活,尝试为这个世界带来点有意义的事情,为更高尚的事情做点贡献。这样你会发现生活更加有意义,生命不再枯燥。需要我们去做的事情很多。告诉其 他人你的计划,不要鼓吹,也不要自以为是,更不能盲目狂热,那样只会把人们吓跑,当然,你也不要害怕成为榜样,要抓住出头的机会让人们知道你的所作所为。
5. There's a phrase in Buddhism, 'Beginner's mind.' It's wonderful to have a beginner's mind.
佛教中有一句话:初学者的心态;拥有初学者的心态是件了不起的事情。
It is the kind of mind that can see things as they are, which step by step and in a flash can realize the original nature of everything. Beginner's mind is Zen practice in action. It is the mind that is innocent ofpreconceptions and expectations, judgements and prejudices. Think of beginner's mind as the mind that faces life like a small child, full of curiosity and wonder and amazement.
不要迷惑于表象而要洞察事务的本质,初学者的心态是行动派的禅宗。所谓初学者的心态是指,不要无端猜测、不要期望、不要武断也不要偏见。初学者的心态正如一个新生儿面对这个世界一样,永远充满好奇、求知欲、赞叹。
6. We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.
我们认为看电视的时候,人的大脑基本停止工作,打开电脑的时候,大脑才开始运转。
Reams of academic studies over the decades have amply confirmed television's pernicious mental and moral influences. And most TV watchers know that their habit is mind-numbing and wasteful, but still spend most of their time in front of that box. So turn your TV off and save some brain cells. But be cautious, you can turn your brain off by using a computer also. Try and have an intelligent conversation with someone who plays first person shooters for eight hours a day. Or auto race games, or role-playing games.
过去十年中,大量的理论研究表明,电视对人的精神和心智是有害的。大多数电视观众都知道这个坏习惯会浪费时间并且使大脑变得迟钝,但是他们还是选择呆在电视机前面。关掉电视吧,给自己省点脑细胞。还有,电脑也会让你的大脑秀逗,不信的话你去跟那些一天花8小时玩第一视角设计游戏、汽车拉力游戏、角色扮演游戏的人聊聊看,你也会得出这个结论的。
7. I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year... It's very character-building.
我是我所知道的唯一一个在一年中失去2.5亿美元的人……这对我的成长很有帮助。
Don't equate making mistakes with being a mistake. There is no such thing as a successful person who has not failed or made mistakes, there are successful people who made mistakes and changed their lives or performance in response to them, and so got it right the next time. They viewed mistakes as warnings rather than signs of hopeless inadequacy. Never making a mistake means never living life to the full.
范错误不等于错误。从来没有哪个成功的人没有失败过或者犯过错误,相反,成功的人都是犯了错误之后,做出改正,然后下次就不会再错了,他们把错误当成一个警告而不是万劫不复的失败。从不犯错意味着从来没有真正活过。
8. I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.
我愿意用我所有的科技去换取和苏格拉底相处的一个下午。
Over the last decade, numerous books featuring lessons from historical figures have appeared on the shelves of bookstores around the world. And Socrates stands with Leonardo da Vinci, Nicholas Copernicus, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein as a beacon of inspiration for independent thinkers. But he came first. Cicero said of Socrates that, "He called philosophy down from the skies and into the lives of men." So use Socrates' principles in your life, your work, your learning, and your relationships. It's not about Socrates, it's really about you, and how you can bring more truth, beauty and goodness into your life everyday.
十几年来,世界各地的书店里涌现出海量的关于历史人物的书籍。这些人物包括苏格拉底、达芬奇、哥白尼、达尔文以及爱因斯坦,他们被称为人们灵感的灯塔,而苏格拉底排在第一位。西塞罗评价苏格拉底说:“他把哲学从高高在上的学科变得与人休戚相关。”把苏格拉底的原则运用到你的生活、工作、学习以及人及关系上吧,这不是关于苏格拉底,这是关于你自己,以及关于你如何给你每天的生活带来更多的真善美。
9. We're here to put a dent in the universe. Otherwise why else even be here?
活着就是为了改变世界,难道还有其他原因吗?
Did you know that you have big things to accomplish in life? And did you know that those big things are getting rather dusty while you pour yourself another cup of coffee, and decide to mull things over rather than do them? We were all born with a gift to give in life, one which informs all of our desires, interests, passions and curiosities. This gift is, in fact, our purpose. And you don't need permission to decide your own purpose. No boss, teacher, parent, priest or other authority can decide this for you. Just find that unique purpose.
你是否知道在你的生命中,有什么使命是一定要达成的?你知不知道在你喝一杯咖啡或者做些无意义事情的时候,这些使命又蒙上了一层灰尘?我们生来就随身带着一件东西,这件东西指示着我们的渴望、兴趣、热情以及好奇心,这就是使命。你不需要任何权威来评断你的使命,没有任何老板、老师、父母、牧师以及任何权威可以帮你来决定。你需要靠你自己来寻找这个独特的使命。
10. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
你的时间有限,所以不要为别人而活。不要被教条所限,不要活在别人的观念里。不要让别人的意见左右自己内心的声音。最重要的是,勇敢的去追随自己的心灵和直觉,只有自己的心灵和直觉才知道你自己的真实想法,其他一切都是次要。
Are you tired of living someone else's dream? No doubt, it's your life and you have every right to spend it in your own individual way without any hurdles or barriers from others. Give yourself a chance to nurture your creative qualities in a fear-free and pressure-free climate. Live a life that YOU choose and be your own boss.
Each lesson might be difficult to integrate into your life at first, but if you ease your way into each lesson, one at a time, you'll notice an immediate improvement in your overall performance. So go ahead, give them a try.
你是否已经厌倦了为别人而活?不要犹豫,这是你的生活,你拥有绝对的自主权来决定如何生活,不要被其他人的所作所为所束缚。给自己一个培养自己创造力的机会,不要害怕,不要担心。过自己选择的生活,做自己的老板!

摘录:爱若磐石,相敬相谦,今二十年历经种种,料年老心睿,情如初见,唯增两鬓如霜,尘色满面,患难欢喜与君共,万千真意一笑中,便人间天上,痴心常伴侬。
We didn't know much about each other twenty years ago.
二十年前,未相知时。
We were guided by our intuition; you swept me off my feet.
然郎情妾意,梦绕魂牵。
It was snowing when we got married at the Ahwahnee,
执子之手,白雪为鉴。
Years passed, kids came, good times, hard times, but never bad times.
弹指多年,添欢膝前。苦乐相倚,不离不变。
Our love and respect has endured and grown.
爱若磐石,相敬相谦。
We've been through so much together and here we are right back where we started 20 years ago—older, wiser—with wrinkles on our faces and hearts.
今二十年历经种种,料年老心睿,情如初见,唯增两鬓如霜,尘色满面。
We now know many of life's joys, sufferings, secrets and wonders and we're still here together.
患难欢喜与君共,万千真意一笑中。
My feet have never returned to the ground.
便人间天上,痴心常伴侬。

此处冷,彼处更冷。枯叶凋零,君属何人。君面惨淡忧郁,含泪而笑。君热泪盈眶,喃喃自语,难言再见。妾心沉落,泪涌似涛。
Hot summer. Cheerful Cocktail. You took my hand.We fled into another world of ba nd. You sat by myside, long hair tied behind, cool and killing. Smile floating on the lemonade, soft and smooth.How I was ?amazed. Your face looked like the cover of the magazine. My head spin. You led myhand, danced along the crazy theme.
酷夏。仍忆鸡尾酒会。君执妾手,共享二人世界。君坐妾之侧,长发束于脑后,英姿勃发。笑容荡漾。妾讶君面尤类杂志封面。旋转,君执妾手,疯狂舞曲。
Light vied with wine, elegance mixed with fragrance, laughing covered by GREetings, thecrowed was busy at handshaking. You stood there, eyes on me. I trembled at the sparkles,brighter than the light. A masterpiece from God, I felt dizzy. We were not near, yet we weretogether.
灯酒相辉,芳雅相应,祝辞笑声此起彼伏,芸芸皆劳碌于握手。君站立一旁,美目探 妾。妾莹灯下颤颤而立。此必上帝之杰作,使晕眩。虽妾与君相隔甚远,然心相近。

I made believesometime someday, I would tell you, I feel all the same.
往日已去。君云君将于阿尔卑斯山畔待妾,滑雪于雪花飞舞之天空下。妾欲说还休,但嘱祝福。飞机渐逝,妾心将苦。妾深知妾之愚蠹,君已窃妾心,妾当不可漠然于暗中彷徨。妾尝试忘君之失,然无可善终。妾信某日某时,妾将告君妾心永驻。
My thought struggled at confessing, somehow hesitation ended in flinching. I continued myrole of a fool, clinched to my maiden pride, yet secretly indulged in your promise of the whiteland -- snow measuring down to us, in your arms I am lifted up. The chiming of Christmas bell!
妾于忏悔中挣扎,不时退缩,犹豫。妾愚于处子之婚,然潜纵于君之诺。白雪皑皑,君挽妾身,妾意甚欢,共听圣诞钟声。
the bell died in the patter of rain, from hell came the laughing of Satan at my brain. Tearfulsmile, swallowed by the darkness. How could I trace your hair to wipe your tears? My handsreached out, catching nothing but a raindrop, on a leaf that had withered.
钟声忽止于急雨,乃听撒旦之笑声。含泪微笑,黑暗相伴。妾欲寻君之发擦君之泪而不可。妾伸手欲触,无他,但枯叶一雨滴耳。
Snowflakes have melted into water, we are no more together.

以下是小编整理的情感类英语美文欣赏:迟到的情书, 希望对你有所感触。
I was always a little in awe of Great-auntStephina Roos. Indeed, as children we were allfrankly terrified of her. The fact that she did not livewith the family, preferring her tiny cottage andsolitude to the comfortable but rather noisyhousehold where we were brought up-added to therespectful fear in which she was held.
我对斯蒂菲娜老姑总是怀着敬畏之情。说实在话,我们几个孩子对她都怕得要死。她不和家人一块生活,宁愿住在她的小屋子里,而不愿住在舒舒服服、热热闹闹的家里--我们六个孩子都是在家里带大的--这更加重了我们对她的敬畏之情。
We used to take it in turn to carry small delicacies which my mother had made down fromthe big house to the little cottage where Aunt Stephia and an old colored maid spent their days.Old Tnate Sanna would open the door to the rather frightened little messenger and wouldusher him-or her - into the dark voor-kamer, where the shutters were always closed to keepout the heat and the flies. There we would wait, in trembling but not altogether unpleasant.
我们经常轮替着从我们住的大房子里带些母亲为她做的可口的食品到她和一名黑人女仆一块过活的那间小屋里去。桑娜老姨总是为每一个上门来的怯生生的小使者打开房门,将他或她领进昏暗的客厅。那里的百叶窗长年关闭着,以防热气和苍蝇进去。我们总是在那里哆哆嗦嗦、但又不是完全不高兴地等着斯蒂菲娜老姑出来。
She was a tiny little woman to inspire so much veneration. She was always dressed inblack, and her dark clothes melted into the shadows of the voor-kamer and made her looksmaller than ever. But you felt. The moment she entered. That something vital and strong andsomehow indestructible had come in with her, although she moved slowly, and her voice wassweet and soft.
一个像她那样身材纤细的女人居然能赢得我们如此尊敬。她总是身穿黑色衣服,与客厅里的阴暗背景融成一体,将她的身材衬托得更加娇小。但她一进门,我们就感到有一种说不清道不明、充满活力和刚强的气氛,尽管她的步子慢悠、声调甜柔。
She never embraced us. She would greet us and take out hot little hands in her ownbeautiful cool one, with blue veins standing out on the back of it, as though the white skin werealmost too delicate to contain them.
她从不拥抱我们,但总是和我们寒暄,将我们热乎乎的小手握在她那双秀美清爽的手里,她的手背上露出一些青筋,就像手上白嫩的皮肤细薄得遮不住它们似的。
Tante Sanna would bring in dishes of sweet, sweet, sticky candy, or a great bowl of grapes orpeaches, and Great-aunt Stephina would converse gravely about happenings on the farm,and, more rarely, of the outer world.
桑娜阿姨每次都要端出几碟粘乎乎的南非糖果和一钵葡萄或桃子给我们吃。斯蒂菲娜老姑总是一本正经他说些农场里的事,偶尔也谈些外边世界发生的事。
When we had finished our sweetmeats or fruit she would accompany us to the stoep,bidding us thank our mother for her gift and sending quaint, old-fashioned messages to herand the Father. Then she would turn and enter the house, closing the door behind, so that itbecame once more a place of mystery.
待我们吃完糖果或水果,她总要将我们送到屋前的门廊,叮嘱我们要多谢母亲给她送食品,要我们对父母亲转达一些稀奇古怪的老式祝愿,然后就转身回到屋里,随手关上门,使那里再次成为神秘世界。
As I grew older I found, rather to my surprise, that I had become genuinely fond of myaloof old great-aunt. But to this day I do not know what strange impulse made me takeGeorge to see her and to tell her, before I had confided in another living soul, of ourengagement. To my astonishment, she was delighted.
让我感到吃惊的是,随着我逐渐长大,我发现打心眼里喜欢起我那位孤伶伶的老姑姑来。至今我仍不知道那是一种什么样的奇异动力,使我在还没有透露给别人之前就把乔治领去看望姑姑,告诉她我们已经订婚的消息。不成想,听到这个消息以后,她竟非常高兴。
"An Englishman,"she exclaimed."But that is splendid, splendid. And you,"she turned toGeorge,"you are making your home in this country? You do not intend to return to Englandjust yet?"
"是英国人!"她惊讶地大声说道,"好极了。你,"她转向乔治,"你要在南非安家吗?你现在不打算回国吧?"
She seemed relieved when she heard thatGeorge had bought a farm near our own farm andintended to settle in South Africa. She becamequite animated, and chattered away to him.
当她听说乔治已经在我们农场附近购置了一片农场并打算定居下来时,好像松了一口气。她兴致勃勃地和乔治攀谈起来。
After that I would often slip away to the little cottageby the mealie lands. Once she was somewhat disappointed on hearing that we had decided towait for two years before getting married, but when she learned that my father and motherwere both pleased with the match she seemed reassured.
从那以后,我常常到那所位于玉米地边的小屋。有一次,当斯蒂菲娜老姑听说我们决定再过两年结婚时,露出了失望的神色,但一听说我的父母亲都对这门亲事满意时,她又放宽了心。
Still, she often appeared anxious about my love affair, and would ask questions thatseemed to me strange, almost as though she feared that something would happen to destroymy romance. But I was quite unprepared for her outburst when I mentioned that Georgethought of paying a lightning visit to England before we were married."He must not do it,"shecried."Ina, you must not let him go. Promise me you will prevent him."she was trembling allover. I did what I could to console her, but she looked so tired and pale that I persuaded herto go to her room and rest, promising to return the next day.
但她对我的婚姻大事还是经常挂在嘴边。她常常问一些怪怪的问题,几乎像担心我的婚事会告吹一样。当我提到乔治打算在婚前匆匆回一趟国时,她竟激动了起来。只见她浑身哆嗦着大声嚷道:"他不能回去!爱娜!你不能放他走,你得答应我不放他走!"我尽力安慰她,但她还是显得萎靡不振。我只得劝她回屋休息,并答应第二天再去看她。
When I arrived I found her sitting on the stoep. She looked lonely and pathetic, and for thefirst time I wondered why no man had ever taken her and looked after her and loved her.Mother had told me that Great-aunt Stephina had been lovely as a young girl, and although notrace of that beauty remained, except perhaps in her brown eyes, yet she looked so small andappealing that any man, one felt, would have wanted to protect her.
我第二天去看她时,她正坐在屋前的门廊上,流露出抑郁孤寂的神情。我第一次感到纳闷:以前怎么没有人娶她、照料和爱抚她呢?记得母亲曾经说过,斯蒂菲娜老姑以前曾是一个楚楚可爱的小姑娘。尽管除了她那褐色的眼睛尚能保留一点昔日的风韵之外,她的美貌早已荡然无存。但她看上去还是那样小巧玲珑、惹人爱怜,引起男人们的惜香怜玉之情。 She paused, as though she did not quite know how to begin.
Then she seemed to give herself, mentally, a little shake. "You must have wondered ", she said, "why I was so upset at the thought of young George's going to England without you. I am anold woman, and perhaps I have the silly fancies of the old, but I should like to tell you my ownlove story, and then you can decide whether it is wise for your man to leave you before you aremarried."
我走到她的跟前。她拍着身边的椅子,淡淡一笑。"坐下吧,亲爱的,"她说,"我有话要告诉你。"她欲言又止,好像不知道话从何说起似的。接着,她仿佛振作了起来。她说:"我听你说乔治要回国,又不带你走,心里非常不安。我这份心事你是不明白的。我是一个老婆子了,大概还怀着老人们的那颗痴心吧。不过,我想把自己的爱情故事讲给你听。这样你就能明白在你们结婚之前让你的未婚夫离开你,是不是一个明智之举。"
"I was quite a young girl when I first met Richard Weston. He was an Englishman whoboarded with the Van Rensburgs on the next farm, four or five miles from us. Richard was notstrong. He had a weak chest, and the doctors had sent him to South Africa so that the dry aircould cure him. He taught the Van Rensburg children, who were younger than I was, though weoften played together, but he did this for pleasure and not because he needed money.
"我第一次遇见理查德·威斯顿时还是一个年轻姑娘。他是一个英国人,寄宿在我家附近四、五英里一个农场上的范·伦斯堡家里。他身体不好,胸闷气短。医生让他去南非让干燥的气候治好他的病。他教伦斯堡的孩子们念书,他们都比我小,尽管我们经常在一块玩。理查德是以教书为乐,并不是为了赚钱。
"We loved one another from the first moment we met, though we did not speak of our loveuntil the evening of my eighteenth birthday. All our friends and relatives had come to my party,and in the evening we danced on the big old carpet which we had laid down in the barn. Richardhad come with the Van Rensburgs, and we danced together as often as we dared, which wasnot very often, for my father hated the Uitlanders. Indeed, for a time he had quarreled withMynheer Van Rensburg for allowing Richard to board with him, but afterwards he got used tothe idea, and was always polite to the Englishman, though he never liked him.
"我和理查德是一见钟情,尽管直到我18岁生日那天我们才表示彼此的爱慕之情。那天晚上的舞会上,我们的亲友都来了。我们在仓房里铺上一条宽大的旧毛毯,翩翩起舞。我和他壮起胆子频频起舞。但事实上,没有多少次,因为我的父亲很讨厌'洋人'。有一次,他曾抱怨说伦斯堡先生不应该让理查德寄住在他的家里,为此还跟他吵过一场,他后来就习以为常了。虽谈不上喜欢,但对这个英国人以礼相待。"那是我一生中最快乐的一个生日,因为理查德在跳舞间歇将我领到外面清凉的月光中,在点点繁星之下对我倾诉爱慕之情,并向我求婚。我二话没说答应了他的要求,因为我早已心醉神迷,想不到父母亲会说什么。我的心中除了理查德和他的爱情,什么也顾不上了。
"That was the happiest birthday of my life, for whilewe were resting between dances Richard took meoutside into the cool, moonlit night, and there, underthe stars ,he told me he loved me and asked me tomarry him. Of course I promised I would, for I wastoo happy to think of what my parents would say, orindeed of anything except Richard was not at ourmeeting place as he had arranged. I wasdisappointed but not alarmed, for so many thingscould happen to either of us to prevent out keepingour tryst. I thought that next time we visited theVan Ransburgs, I should hear what had kept him and we could plan further meetings…
"从那以后,我们就尽可能多地见面,但往往是秘密进行。我们就这样度过了将近1年时间。后来有一天,在他安排的约会处,理查德爽约没有来。失望之际,我没有大惊小怪,因为我们俩谁碰到形形色色的事都可能使我们无法幽会。我想我们以后去范·伦斯堡家看望之时,我就会明白理查德未能赴约的原因,再安排以后的约会……
"So when my father asked if I would drive with him to Driefontein I was delighted. But whenwe reached the homestead and were sitting on the stoep drinking our coffee, we heard thatRichard had left quite suddenly and had gone back to England. His father had died, and now hewas the heir and must go back to look after his estates.
"所以,当父亲问我是否愿意和他一块开车去德里方丹时,我就高兴地答应了。但待我们赶到范·伦斯堡家,坐在他们家屋前的门廊上喝咖啡时,却听说理查德已经不辞而别回英国去了。他的父亲死了,他是继承人,不得不回去料理遗产。 "I do not remember very much more about that day, except thatthe sun seemed to have stopped shining and the country no longer looked beautiful and full ofpromise, but bleak and desolate as it sometimes does in winter or in times of drought. Latethat afternoon, Jantje, the little Hottentot herd boy, came up to me and handed me a letter ,which he said the English baas had left for me. It was the only love letter I ever received, but itturned all my bitterness and grief into a peacefulness which was the nearest I could get,then, to happiness. I knew Richard still loved me, and somehow, as long as I had his letter, Ifelt that we could never be really parted, even if he were in England and I had to remain on thefarm. I have it yet, and though I am an old, tired woman, it still gives me hope and courage."
"那天的事我记不大清楚了,只记得当时阳光惨淡,田野也失去了美丽的丰采和欣欣向荣的景象,萧瑟凄凉得跟冬天或大旱时一样。那天傍晚,在我和父亲动身回家之前,霍但托特族的小牧童詹杰交给我一封信,他说是那位英国老爷留给我的。这可是我有生以来收到的唯一的情书!它将我的忧伤一扫而光,使我的心情变得平静--当时对我来说几乎类似幸福的平静。我知道理查德仍在爱着我。不知怎么回事,有了这封信,我便觉得我们不可能真正分开,哪怕他到了英国、我还留在南非的农场。这封信我至今仍保留着,尽管我已经年迈体衰,但它仍能带给我希望和勇气。"
I was always a little in awe of Great-aunt Stephina Roos. Indeed, as children we were all franklyterrified of her. The fact that she did not live with the family, preferring her tiny cottage andsolitude to the comfortable but rather noisy household where we were brought up-added tothe respectful fear in which she was held.
我对斯蒂菲娜老姑总是怀着敬畏之情。说实在话,我们几个孩子对她都怕得要死。她不和家人一块生活,宁愿住在她的小屋子里,而不愿住在舒舒服服、热热闹闹的家里--我们六个孩子都是在家里带大的--这更加重了我们对她的敬畏之情。
We used to take it in turn to carry small delicacies which my mother had made down fromthe big house to the little cottage where Aunt Stephia and an old colored maid spent their days.Old Tnate Sanna would open the door to the rather frightened little messenger and wouldusher him-or her - into the dark voor-kamer, where the shutters were always closed to keepout the heat and the flies. There we would wait, in trembling but not altogether unpleasant.
我们经常轮替着从我们住的大房子里带些母亲为她做的可口的食品到她和一名黑人女仆一块过活的那间小屋里去。桑娜老姨总是为每一个上门来的怯生生的小使者打开房门,将他或她领进昏暗的客厅。那里的百叶窗长年关闭着,以防热气和苍蝇进去。我们总是在那里哆哆嗦嗦、但又不是完全不高兴地等着斯蒂菲娜老姑出来。
She was a tiny little woman to inspire so much veneration. She was always dressed inblack, and her dark clothes melted into the shadows of the voor-kamer and made her looksmaller than ever. But you felt. The moment she entered. That something vital and strong andsomehow indestructible had come in with her, although she moved slowly, and her voice wassweet and soft.
一个像她那样身材纤细的女人居然能赢得我们如此尊敬。她总是身穿黑色衣服,与客厅里的阴暗背景融成一体,将她的身材衬托得更加娇小。但她一进门,我们就感到有一种说不清道不明、充满活力和刚强的气氛,尽管她的步子慢悠、声调甜柔。
She never embraced us. She would greet us and take out hot little hands in her ownbeautiful cool one, with blue veins standing out on the back of it, as though the white skin werealmost too delicate to contain them.
她从不拥抱我们,但总是和我们寒暄,将我们热乎乎的小手握在她那双秀美清爽的手里,她的手背上露出一些青筋,就像手上白嫩的皮肤细薄得遮不住它们似的。
Tante Sanna would bring in dishes of sweet, sweet, sticky candy, or a great bowl ofgrapes or peaches, and Great-aunt Stephina would converse gravely about happenings onthe farm ,and, more rarely, of the outer world.
桑娜阿姨每次都要端出几碟粘乎乎的南非糖果和一钵葡萄或桃子给我们吃。斯蒂菲娜老姑总是一本正经他说些农场里的事,偶尔也谈些外边世界发生的事。
When we had finished our sweetmeats or fruit she would accompany us to the stoep,bidding us thank our mother for her gift and sending quaint, old-fashioned messages to herand the Father. Then she would turn and enter the house, closing the door behind, so that itbecame once more a place of mystery.
待我们吃完糖果或水果,她总要将我们送到屋前的门廊,叮嘱我们要多谢母亲给她送食品,要我们对父母亲转达一些稀奇古怪的老式祝愿,然后就转身回到屋里,随手关上门,使那里再次成为神秘世界。
As I grew older I found, rather to my surprise, that I had become genuinely fond of myaloof old great-aunt. But to this day I do not know what strange impulse made me takeGeorge to see her and to tell her, before I had confided in another living soul, of ourengagement. To my astonishment, she was delighted.
让我感到吃惊的是,随着我逐渐长大,我发现打心眼里喜欢起我那位孤伶伶的老姑姑来。至今我仍不知道那是一种什么样的奇异动力,使我在还没有透露给别人之前就把乔治领去看望姑姑,告诉她我们已经订婚的消息。不成想,听到这个消息以后,她竟非常高兴。 "An Englishman,"she exclaimed."But that issplendid, splendid. And you,"she turned to George,"you are making your home in this country?You do not intend to return to England just yet?"
"是英国人!"她惊讶地大声说道,"好极了。你,"她转向乔治,"你要在南非安家吗?你现在不打算回国吧?"
She seemed relieved when she heard that George had bought a farm near our own farmand intended to settle in South Africa. She became quite animated, and chattered away tohim.
当她听说乔治已经在我们农场附近购置了一片农场并打算定居下来时,好像松了一口气。她兴致勃勃地和乔治攀谈起来。
After that I would often slip away to the little cottage by the mealie lands. Once she wassomewhat disappointed on hearing that we had decided to wait for two years before gettingmarried, but when she learned that my father and mother were both pleased with the matchshe seemed reassured.
从那以后,我常常到那所位于玉米地边的小屋。有一次,当斯蒂菲娜老姑听说我们决定再过两年结婚时,露出了失望的神色,但一听说我的父母亲都对这门亲事满意时,她又放宽了心。
Still, she often appeared anxious about my loveaffair, and would ask questions that seemed to mestrange, almost as though she feared thatsomething would happen to destroy my romance.But I was quite unprepared for her outburst when Imentioned that George thought of paying alightning visit to England before we weremarried."He must not do it,"she cried."Ina, you must not let him go. Promise me you willprevent him."she was trembling all over. I did what I could to console her, but she looked sotired and pale that I persuaded her to go to her room and rest, promising to return the nextday.
但她对我的婚姻大事还是经常挂在嘴边。她常常问一些怪怪的问题,几乎像担心我的婚事会告吹一样。当我提到乔治打算在婚前匆匆回一趟国时,她竟激动了起来。只见她浑身哆嗦着大声嚷道:"他不能回去!爱娜!你不能放他走,你得答应我不放他走!"我尽力安慰她,但她还是显得萎靡不振。我只得劝她回屋休息,并答应第二天再去看她。
When I arrived I found her sitting on the stoep. She looked lonely and pathetic, and for thefirst time I wondered why no man had ever taken her and looked after her and loved her.Mother had told me that Great-aunt Stephina had been lovely as a young girl, and although notrace of that beauty remained, except perhaps in her brown eyes, yet she looked so small andappealing that any man, one felt, would have wanted to protect her.
我第二天去看她时,她正坐在屋前的门廊上,流露出抑郁孤寂的神情。我第一次感到纳闷:以前怎么没有人娶她、照料和爱抚她呢?记得母亲曾经说过,斯蒂菲娜老姑以前曾是一个楚楚可爱的小姑娘。尽管除了她那褐色的眼睛尚能保留一点昔日的风韵之外,她的美貌早已荡然无存。但她看上去还是那样小巧玲珑、惹人爱怜,引起男人们的惜香怜玉之情。
She paused, as though she did not quite know how to begin.
Then she seemed to give herself, mentally, a little shake. "You must have wondered ", she said, "why I was so upset at the thought of young George's going to England without you. I am anold woman, and perhaps I have the silly fancies of the old, but I should like to tell you my ownlove story, and then you can decide whether it is wise for your man to leave you before you aremarried."
我走到她的跟前。她拍着身边的椅子,淡淡一笑。"坐下吧,亲爱的,"她说,"我有话要告诉你。"她欲言又止,好像不知道话从何说起似的。接着,她仿佛振作了起来。她说:"我听你说乔治要回国,又不带你走,心里非常不安。我这份心事你是不明白的。我是一个老婆子了,大概还怀着老人们的那颗痴心吧。不过,我想把自己的爱情故事讲给你听。这样你就能明白在你们结婚之前让你的未婚夫离开你,是不是一个明智之举。"
"I was quite a young girl when I first met Richard Weston. He was an Englishman whoboarded with the Van Rensburgs on the next farm, four or five miles from us. Richard was notstrong. He had a weak chest, and the doctors had sent him to South Africa so that the dry aircould cure him. He taught the Van Rensburg children, who were younger than I was, though weoften played together, but he did this for pleasure and not because he needed money.
"我第一次遇见理查德·威斯顿时还是一个年轻姑娘。他是一个英国人,寄宿在我家附近四、五英里一个农场上的范·伦斯堡家里。他身体不好,胸闷气短。医生让他去南非让干燥的气候治好他的病。他教伦斯堡的孩子们念书,他们都比我小,尽管我们经常在一块玩。理查德是以教书为乐,并不是为了赚钱。
"We loved one another from the first moment we met, though we did not speak of our loveuntil the evening of my eighteenth birthday. All our friends and relatives had come to my party,and in the evening we danced on the big old carpet which we had laid down in the barn. Richardhad come with the Van Rensburgs, and we danced together as often as we dared, which wasnot very often, for my father hated the Uitlanders. Indeed, for a time he had quarreled withMynheer Van Rensburg for allowing Richard to board with him, but afterwards he got used tothe idea, and was always polite to the Englishman, though he never liked him.
"我和理查德是一见钟情,尽管直到我18岁生日那天我们才表示彼此的爱慕之情。那天晚上的舞会上,我们的亲友都来了。我们在仓房里铺上一条宽大的旧毛毯,翩翩起舞。我和他壮起胆子频频起舞。但事实上,没有多少次,因为我的父亲很讨厌'洋人'。有一次,他曾抱怨说伦斯堡先生不应该让理查德寄住在他的家里,为此还跟他吵过一场,他后来就习以为常了。虽谈不上喜欢,但对这个英国人以礼相待。"那是我一生中最快乐的一个生日,因为理查德在跳舞间歇将我领到外面清凉的月光中,在点点繁星之下对我倾诉爱慕之情,并向我求婚。我二话没说答应了他的要求,因为我早已心醉神迷,想不到父母亲会说什么。我的心中除了理查德和他的爱情,什么也顾不上了。 "That was the happiest birthday of my life, for while we were restingbetween dances Richard took me outside into the cool, moonlit night, and there, under thestars ,he told me he loved me and asked me to marry him. Of course I promised I would, for Iwas too happy to think of what my parents would say, or indeed of anything except Richardwas not at our meeting place as he had arranged. I was disappointed but not alarmed, for somany things could happen to either of us to prevent out keeping our tryst. I thought that nexttime we visited the Van Ransburgs, I should hear what had kept him and we could plan furthermeetings…
"从那以后,我们就尽可能多地见面,但往往是秘密进行。我们就这样度过了将近1年时间。后来有一天,在他安排的约会处,理查德爽约没有来。失望之际,我没有大惊小怪,因为我们俩谁碰到形形色色的事都可能使我们无法幽会。我想我们以后去范·伦斯堡家看望之时,我就会明白理查德未能赴约的原因,再安排以后的约会……
"So when my father asked if I would drive with him to Driefontein I was delighted. But whenwe reached the homestead and were sitting on the stoep drinking our coffee, we heard thatRichard had left quite suddenly and had gone back to England. His father had died, and now hewas the heir and must go back to look after his estates.
"所以,当父亲问我是否愿意和他一块开车去德里方丹时,我就高兴地答应了。但待我们赶到范·伦斯堡家,坐在他们家屋前的门廊上喝咖啡时,却听说理查德已经不辞而别回英国去了。他的父亲死了,他是继承人,不得不回去料理遗产。
"I do not remember very much more about that day,except that the sun seemed to have stoppedshining and the country no longer looked beautifuland full of promise, but bleak and desolate as itsometimes does in winter or in times of drought.Late that afternoon, Jantje, the little Hottentot herdboy, came up to me and handed me a letter , whichhe said the English baas had left for me. It was theonly love letter I ever received, but it turned all mybitterness and grief into a peacefulness which wasthe nearest I could get, then, to happiness. I knewRichard still loved me, and somehow, as long as I had his letter, I felt that we could never bereally parted, even if he were in England and I had to remain on the farm. I have it yet, andthough I am an old, tired woman, it still gives me hope and courage."
"那天的事我记不大清楚了,只记得当时阳光惨淡,田野也失去了美丽的丰采和欣欣向荣的景象,萧瑟凄凉得跟冬天或大旱时一样。那天傍晚,在我和父亲动身回家之前,霍但托特族的小牧童詹杰交给我一封信,他说是那位英国老爷留给我的。这可是我有生以来收到的唯一的情书!它将我的忧伤一扫而光,使我的心情变得平静--当时对我来说几乎类似幸福的平静。我知道理查德仍在爱着我。不知怎么回事,有了这封信,我便觉得我们不可能真正分开,哪怕他到了英国、我还留在南非的农场。这封信我至今仍保留着,尽管我已经年迈体衰,但它仍能带给我希望和勇气。"
"I must have been a wonderful letter, Aunt Stephia,"I said.
"斯蒂菲娜老姑,那封信一定美极了吧,"我说。
The old lady came back from her dreams of that far-off romance."Perhaps," she said, hesitatinga little, "perhaps, my dear, you would care to read it ?"
老太太从她那久远的爱之梦中醒过神来。"也许,"她带着犹豫的神情说,"也许,亲爱的,你想看看那封信吧?"
"I should love to , Aunt Stephia,"I said gently.
"我很想看,斯蒂菲娜老姑,"我轻声说。
She rose at once and tripped into the house as eagerly as a young girl. When she came backshe handed me a letter, faded and yellow with age, the edges of the envelope worn and frayedas though it had been much handled. But when I came to open it I found that the seal wasunbroken.
她猛地站起身,奔进屋里,急切得像个小姑娘。她从屋里出来后,递给我一封信。由于天长日久,那信已经褪色发黄,信封边已经磨损,好像曾被摩挲过好多次。但在取信时,我发现封口还没有拆开。
"Open it ,open it,"said Great-aunt Stephia, and her voice was shaking.
"拆开,拆开吧!"斯蒂菲娜老姑声音颤抖地说。
I broke the seal and read.
我撕开封口,开始念信。
It was not a love letter in the true sense of the word, but pages of the minutest directions ofhow"my sweetest Phina"was to elude her father's vigilance, creep down to the drift at nightand there meet Jantje with a horse which would take her to Smitsdorp. There she was to go to"my true friend, Henry Wilson",who would give her money and make arrangements for her tofollow her lover to Cape Town and from there to England ," where, my love, we can he bemarried at once. But if, my dearest, you are not sure that you can face lift with me in a landstrange to you, then do not take this important step, for I love you too much to wish you thesmallest unhappiness. If you do not come, and if I do not hear from you, then I shall know thatyou could never be happy so far from the people and the country which you love. If, however,you feel you can keep your promise to me, but are of too timid and modest a journey toEngland unaccompanied, then write to me, and I will, by some means, return to fetch my bride."
严格说来,它算不上是一封情书,实际是只是几页内容详尽的行动指南。信里称"我最亲爱的菲娜"该怎么摆脱她父亲的监视,夜里逃出家门,詹杰会在浅滩上牵马等着她,然后将她驮到史密斯多普,到了那里再去找理查德的"知心朋友亨利·威尔逊",他会给她钱为她作好安排,使她能跟随她的情人到开普敦,随后转道英国。"亲爱的,这样我们就可以在英国结婚了。但是我的至爱,如果你不能保证你能在一个陌生的地方和我一块生活,你就不必采取这个重大行动,因为我太爱你了,不能让你感到丝毫不快。如果你不来,如果我听不到你的回信,我就会知道,如果你离开你挚爱的亲人和乡土,你是不会幸福的。但如果你能实践你对我的许诺而由于你生性持重胆怯不愿单身前往英国,就来信告诉我,那我就会设法回南非来迎接我的新娘。"
I read no further.
我没有再念下去。
"But Aunt Phina!"I gasped. "Why…why…?"
"可是,菲娜老姑,"我气喘吁吁地说,"为什么……?为什么……"
The old lady was watching me with trembling eagerness, her face flushed and her eyesbright with expectation."Read it aloud, my dear,"she said."I want to hear every word of it.There was never anyone I could trust…Uitlanders were hated in my young days…I could not askanyone."
老太太的身子由于渴望知道信的内容而颤抖,她的眼睛炯炯有神地凝视着我,脸庞因急切的期待一片绯红。"亲爱的,大声念吧!"她说,"信里的一字一句,我都要听!当时我找不到可靠的人给我念……我年轻时,'洋人'是被人深恶痛绝的……我找不到人给我念啊!"
"But, Auntie, don't you even know what he wrote?"
"可是老姑,难道你一直不知道信里的事吗?"
The old lady looked down, troubled and shy like a child who has unwittingly done wrong.
老太太低头俯视着,像一个无心做错事的孩子一样怯生生的,不知说什么才好。
"No, dear," she said, speaking very low."You see, I never learned to read.
"不知道,亲爱的,"她用低沉的声调说,“你知道,我从来没有念过书啊!”

Passage 1
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Farmington, Utah, is a more pleasant community since a local girls' 4-H club improved Main Street. Six 4-H girls worked to clean the 72 foot curbside that was covered with weeds, rocks and trash. Each member volunteered to clean up and to dig in plot, five flats of flowers. They also took terms in watering, weeding and maintaining the plot. Participation in this project helped the girls developed a new attitude towards their parents of their own homes; they've learned how to work with tools, and improve their work habits. One mother said that before her daughter was involved in this project, she would not even pour a weed. The experience on Main Street stimulated self-improvement, and encouraged members to take pride in their home grounds and the total community. City officials cooperated with the 4-H members in planting trees, building cooking facilities, pick-me tables, swings and public rest rooms. The 4-H girls planted trees and took care of them during the early stages of growth. The total park project needed more plantings in the following years. Members of the 4-H club agreed to follow the project through to completion, because they receive satisfaction from the results of constructive work. The project is a growing one and is spread from the park to the school and the shopping center. Trees and flowers have all been planted in the shopping center, making the atmosphere pleasant.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we learn about Main Street in Farmington?
27. What do the 4-H club members do about the curbside?
28. What have the 4-H girls learned from the project?
29. Why do the 4-H girls agree to follow the park project through to complete. Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. Passage 2 According to a survey on reading conducted in 2001 by the U.S. National Education Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important, more important than computers and science. Over 50% of the 12 to 18 years old interviewed say they enjoy reading a lot. 79% find it stimulating and interesting. And 87% think it is relaxing. About 68% of those surveyed disagreed with the opinion that reading is boring or old-fashioned. Over half teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also show that middle school students read more books than high schoolers. Over 66% of teens like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Over 26% are interested in non-fiction, such history books.64% of students listed reading stories about people my own age. That's a favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came second on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture in tradition. Of the teenagers who participated in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complain that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date interesting books and magazines. Even though many teenagers in the US enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.
Question 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. What does the survey on teenager reading show?
31. What books are most popular among teenagers according to the survey?
32. What activity do teenagers find the most difficult to give up for a week?
Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Passage 3
Thank you for coming, everyone. Today‘s presentation will show how we see the development of the motor car in the short to medium term, and that is why we have invited all of you here today. Let’s start with power. It‘s clear that petrol-driven engines have no future. Already there are many alternative fuel vehicles on the market, powered by anything from solar power to natural gas. Some independent thinkers have even produced cars that run on vegetable oil. But as we all know, of all these alternative fuel vehicles, the most practical are electric vehicles. Sure, in the past electric vehicles have their problems, namely, a limited driving range, and very few recharging points, which limited their use. Now, however, recent developments in electric vehicle technology mean they can match conventional petrol engines in terms of performance and safety. Let’s not forget that electric vehicles are cleaner. Plus, importantly, the power source is rechargeable, so this does not involve using any valuable resources. Moving on to communications, very soon, cars will be linked to GPS satellites, so they‘ll do all the driving for you. What controls remain for the users will be audio-based, so, for example, you’ll just have to say “a bit warmer”, and the air conditioning will adjust automatically. You‘ll also be able to receive email, music and movies, all via an internet link. So just type in the destination you want, sit back, sleep, watch your movie, whatever. Questions
33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
33. What is the presentation mainly about?
34. What used to restrict the use of electric vehicles?
35. What does the speaker say about electric vehicles of today?

Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C), and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
1. W: These new glasses are giving me headaches.
M: Mine did, too, at first. That should wear off soon.
Q: What does the man tell the woman?
2. M: Is Roberta at home yet?
W: No, she has to work late again today.
Q: What does the woman say about Roberta?
3. M: Would you get me through to Dr. Lemon please?
W: I’m sorry, he’s with a patient.
Q: What does the woman mean?
4. W: Would you like to go to the dance with me tonight?
M: I’d love to, but I’m just getting over my cold.
Q: Will the man go dancing with the woman tonight?
5. W: I’m really angry at John. He never listens to me.
M: Take it easy, Allen. Things will work out.
Q: What does the man advise Allen to do?
6. M: Linda is very quiet. But her brother talks too much.
W: Yes, you are right and he isn’t friendly either.
Q: What’s their opinion of Linda’s brother?
7. M: Janet is quite interested in camping, isn’t she?
W: Yes, she often goes for weeks at a time.
Q: What does the woman say about Janet?
8. M: It’s seven o’clock already. Mary should be home by now.
W: Oh, I forgot to tell you that she called this afternoon and told me she was going to a party at her classmate’s house and wouldn’t be home until 10.
Q: What did Mary say she was going to do?
Now you will hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
M: Good afternoon, madam. How can I help you?
W: Erm, well, I seem to have lost my handbag.
M: Oh, I’m sorry.
W: Have you seen a brown bag?
M: I’m afraid, madam, at the present time nothing has been handed in, but if you’d like to give me a description, I can write it down.
W: OK. It, it’s a brown bag.
M: Brown.
W: And it’s er, it’s leather and it has a flap that comes over the top. It’s er, a shoulder bag.
M: Fine. Have you got anything inside it that would identify it?
W: Well, my passport’s in there and er, my money. I mean all my money is in there. I have about three hundred pounds cash.
M: I see.
W: Erm, my passport and my money, erm. Oh, I, I have a little address book and my name is in the front.
M: Fine. And where did you leave it?
W: I think I left it in the café.
M: And when was that?
W: About 12:30, I think.
M: I’m sure it will turn up. Now could you tell me your name, please?
W: Henderson. Julie Henderson. I’m in Room 216.
M: All right, Mrs. Henderson. We will let you know as soon as we find it. Thank you very much.
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
9. Which of the following statements is not true according to the talk?
10. Which one of the following items does the handbag not contain?
11. Where does the lady leave her handbag?#p#副标题#e#
Conversation Two
W: I think continuing education is for innovative adults.
M: That’s interesting. I always thought of continuing education as training sessions for teachers to update their knowledge or for workers to fit themselves for new jobs.
W: There are those, too. But I mean people who personally choose to take continuing education, those who pay out of their own pockets because they decide, at a mature age, that life needs a little polishing up.
M: You mean like Marie who worked as a nurse for 25 years? At 45 she decided to go to university and then go for an MBA and is now the Chief Nurse. She earns double the salary, but has also double the trouble.
W: Exactly. Someone who has the courage to say, “Hey, I don’t want to die doing only this!” You know, someone who wants to use 99% rather than 60% of his or her potential.
M: It does take guts to return to studying as a working adult. I mean, you have family responsibilities, usually a job, and suddenly, you have to study and pass exams again.
W: That’s why I think continuing education is for people with initiative.
M: Well, count me out. I’m for live-and-let-live. So I’ll never make big money, but I earn enough to lead a good life. I’d rather go and learn to be a carpenter so when I retire I can make furniture or something like that.
W: Well, that’s a kind of continuing education. It doesn’t all have to be intellectual. The philosophy behind continuing education is that you’re never too old to learn. But of course we return to learn what we enjoy.
M: If you put it that way, I’m definitely for continuing education. I mean, I have no regrets as a dentist. But if I had another chance, I might choose architecture or art rather than medicine. I guess with continuing education I can try to get the best of both at different stages in my life!
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
12. What is the main topic of this conversation?
13. By saying “She earns double the salary, but has also double the trouble,” What does the man mean?
14. What would the man do for his continuing education?
15. At what age did Marie began to work as a nurse?
Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C), and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Los Angeles today is the second largest city in America, spreading over 464 square miles along the southern California coast. It is the center of the entertainment industry, and it has a balmy climate of mostly sunny days. But there was a time when Los Angeles was nothing more than a tiny Indian village.
The Spanish expedition searching for Monterey Bay camped there the night of August 1, 1769. Twelve years later, other Spaniards started a settlement at the village, which remained unchanged for decades.
Yankee sea traders used the settlement as a port, and the California gold rush brought some new economic life to the village, but the town remained quite small. It was not until the completion of the transcontinental railroads in 1869, and the discovery of oil in the 1890s, that the population began to grow. Later, during the two world wars, Los Angeles experienced more growth, in part because of the new airplane industry. At about the same time, the arrival of two New York motion picture producers in search of sunny weather marked the beginning of an entertainment industry that has become a multibillion-dollar industry today.
In just the past 100 years, this tiny sea village has grown into the sprawling metropolis that we know today.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What is this talk about?
17. What two factors caused the town to begin to grow?
18. Approximately how many years ago did Los Angeles begin growing into a large city?
Passage Two
Norman E. Borlaug was the first agricultural scientist to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and the fifteenth American to do so. He was born in 1914 in Iowa, the son of a farming family. In 1940, Borlaug earned his doctorate degree in plant pathology, and a few years later he was chosen by the Rockefeller Foundation to go abroad to help introduce new agricultural technology to farmers who were growing wheat.
Borlaug’s goal was to improve the quality of low-yielding wheat that some farmers had been growing for centuries, and he accomplished his goal. He developed new dwarf and semi-dwarf wheat that had stronger stems and could hold heavier heads of grain. In Mexico, for instance, the new methods resulted in doubled wheat yields. As a result Mexico changed from a country with a wheat shortage to one that was a wheat exporter. For the introduction of these new wheat-growing methods Borlaug was dubbed “father of the green revolution”.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. Which of the following was Borlaug’s goal?
20. What helped finance Borlaug’s trip abroad?
21. What did Borlaug do when he left the United States?
Passage Three
Robert recently attended a lecture on safety at a neighborhood center. The speaker was detective Garcia of the New York Police Department. Here is what he said.
The first thing you need to do is to get to know your neighbors. Don’t be shy. Introduce yourself, especially to people who live in your building. We people who live in large cities are often reluctant to make friends, but it may save our lives later. So make sure that you know your neighbors and that they know you.
Second, don’t carry a lot of money with you. If you’re a man, put your wallet in your front pocket; it’s harder for a pickpocket to lift it out without your knowing. Women, get a purse with straps that you can slip over your shoulder and under your arm. Don’t carry a small purse that a robber can grab from you easily.
Third, if you are mugged, don’t resist. I wish people would listen to me when I say that. A month ago a fifty-year-old man ended up in a hospital because he thought he could beat a mugger in a fight. But if he hadn’t tried to be brave, that probably wouldn’t have happened. Don’t try to be a karate expert. Give the mugger what he wants. As soon as he leaves, call the police. Report any lost credit cards without delay.
Finally, remember that there’s safety in numbers. Try to avoid dark, deserted streets at night. Also, do not get on empty subway cars. If you’re traveling at night, get on the car with the conductor or the motorman.
Some New Yorkers like to say that the city is a very dangerous place. There is some danger, yes, but if you’re careful and pay attention, you should do all right.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. Who gave the lecture on safety?
23. What can we infer about city citizens from the lecture?
24. What would you do if you lost your credit cards to the mugger?
25. What can we conclude from this lecture?
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time you should listen for its general idea. Then listen to the passage again. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 26 to 33 with the exact words you have just heard. For the blanks numbered from 34 to 36 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
Foot massage parlors are sprouting up all over China. In big cities, like Beijing, there are shops on many street (26) corners, and foot massage chain stores employ thousands of workers. This (27) mushrooming industry is producing thousands of new jobs for the blind, who traditionally in Asia have been trained to do massage.
The Chinese government says more than five million people work in the foot massage (28) trade. Most of them come from poor rural areas, and getting jobs in the city rubbing other people’s feet offers a way out of poverty.
Workers at some shops have only (29) minimal training, leaving them wide open to competition from (30) highly trained blind massage therapists, who promise to deliver medicinal (31) benefits at a competitive price. Cao Jun has been blind from birth and he (32) owns three foot massage parlors. “We have an advantage in terms of touching and feeling, so we are very confident that we do a better job than (33) ordinary people,” he says.
Massage has traditionally been considered a profession for the blind in China, Japan and other Asian nations. Now (34) the Chinese government is encouraging the blind to take up massage as an occupation that will allow them to live independently. (35) Special massage schools have set up four-year programs, giving sightless students far more training than their sighted counterparts.
Mr. Cao says his 10-year-old business is strictly for medicinal massage based on ancient Chinese theories of reflexology, which say (36) that points on the feet correlate to parts of the body and that specialized foot rubs, which hit the different points, promote overall health.

史蒂夫·乔布斯,相信大家都很熟悉,是著名苹果公司联合创办人。今天读文网小编为大家带来乔布斯经典英文名言及其他英文阅读,欢迎大家欣赏!
A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs 30 years ago has been discovered after its location was long forgotten.
一个由苹果公司创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯在30年前埋下的时间胶囊,日前在当初埋藏的地点被发现,不过这个时间胶囊早已被当事人给遗忘了。
In 1983, the young tech innovator was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury as a stunt during a design convention.
1983年,年轻的科技创新者乔布斯来阿斯彭参加大会,他和团队在一次设计会议上决定埋下这个时间胶囊。
The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later.
管子里装了五花八门不少东西:从当时的新款苹果鼠标,到为发现时间胶囊的人准备的六罐装的啤酒。他们原计划是在20年后开启这个时间胶囊。
There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.
不过这个计划出了问题,因为当时所有参与者都忘记了掩埋的地点。
The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channel's reality show called Diggers.
最后发现时间胶囊的,还是美国国家地理频道真人秀节目《Diggers 》的栏目组成员。
The discovery was well documented and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure.
这次的发现被悉心记录下来,而且肯定会成为未来某一集节目的主题,不过就算是这个节目的专家,在找寻这个特别的宝物时也颇费了一番功夫。
CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.
CNET报道说,虽然他们准备充分,也非常清楚这个长约13英尺的管子的具体位置,但挖掘还是花了两个小时,过程中还用到了重型机械。
To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment.
对于远离科技行业的人来说,发现这个管状的时间胶囊似乎就是一项最大的成功。
To others, the most interesting object would likely be the 'Lisa' mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs.
但对于业内人来说,管子里最让人感兴趣的东西可能就是丽莎鼠标,这是由当年28岁的乔布斯亲自放进去的。
The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.
丽莎鼠标是乔布斯用女儿的名字命名的,也是第一代公开销售的商务电脑专用鼠标,在当时实属罕见。
The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators catalogue the tube's contents- but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington's Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.
阿斯彭历史协会也表示将帮助栏目负责人整理时间胶囊的目录清单,不过关于《Diggers》栏目组成员有没有打开时间胶囊中为发现管子的人准备的宝汀顿啤酒,目前暂无消息。

As soon as Jobs got the call from Wozniak that Sunday afternoon, he knew theywould have to get their hands on the technical journal right away. “Woz picked me upa few minutes later, and we went to the library at SLAC [the Stanford Linear AcceleratorCenter] to see if we could find it,” Jobs recounted. It was Sunday and the library wasclosed, but they knew how to get in through a door that was rarely locked. “Iremember that we were furiously digging through the stacks, and it was Woz who finallyfound the journal with all the frequencies. It was like, holy shit, and we opened it andthere it was. We kept saying to ourselves, ‘It’s real. Holy shit, it’s real.’ It was all laidout—the tones, the frequencies.”
