问题 Interpret the following passage from English into Chinese. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passage only once. Now, let’s begin.
下面你将听到一段毕业典礼讲话。
I’m really happy to be here. Today is about celebration. And you have so much to be proud of. As you leave here to start the next leg of your journey in life, there will be days where you ask yourself, "Where is this all going?" "What is the purpose?" "What is my purpose?" I will be honest. I asked myself that same question and it took nearly 15 years to answer it. Maybe by talking about my journey today, I can save you some time.
The struggle for me started early on. In high school, I thought I discovered my life’s purpose when I could answer that age-old question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Nope. In college I thought I’d discover it when I could answer, "What’s your major?" Not quite. I thought that maybe I’d discovered it when I found a good job. Then I thought I just needed to get a few promotions.
That didn’t work either.
I kept convincing myself that it was just over the horizon, around the next corner.
Nothing worked. And it was really tearing me apart. Part of me kept pushing ahead to the next achievement. And the other part kept asking, "Is this all there is?"
I went to grad school at Duke looking for the answer. I tried meditation. I sought guidance in religion. I read great philosophers and authors. And in a moment of youthful indiscretion, I might even have experimented with a Windows PC, and obviously that didn’t work.
After countless twists and turns, at last, 20 years ago, my search brought me to Apple. At the time, the company was struggling to survive. Steve Jobs had just returned to Apple, and had launched the "Think Different" campaign. He wanted to empower the crazy ones—the misfits, the rebels and the troublemakers, the round pegs, and the square holes—to do the best work. If we could just do that, Steve knew we could really change the world.

选项

答案 非常高兴能来到这里。今天是一个值得庆祝的日子,而你们有许多值得骄傲的成绩。当你们离开这里,开启人生的下一段旅程的时候,你们会问自己,“生活的方向在哪里?”“目标是什么?”“自己的目标又是什么?”老实说,我问过自己相同的问题,而我花了将近15年的时间才找到了答案。今天,通过分享我的人生旅程,我或许能够帮助你们节省一些寻找答案的时间。 我的困惑很早就出现了。上高中时,我以为我找到了自己的人生目标,因为我能够回答那个老生常谈的问题——“你长大了要做什么”了。其实不然。上大学时,我以为自己知道想学什么专业就找到了目标。但也不完全如此。后来我想:找到一份好工作就实现了人生目标,或者几次晋升后就实现了人生目标,但都不对。 我不断地说服自己,人生目标就在不远处,在下一个转弯处。但它始终没有出现。我内心有种撕裂的感觉。我一边不断地工作,争取下一个成就,一边拷问自己: “难道人生的意义就在于此吗?” 后来我到杜克大学研究生院寻找答案。我尝试了冥想和宗教里的灵修,我读了许多伟大哲学家和作家的经典。在年少无知的日子里,我甚至尝试使用Windows PC,显然它没有给我想要的答案。 经过无数的曲折,最终,在20年前,寻找人生目标的想法将我带到了苹果公司。当时,苹果公司正在勉强生存。史蒂夫-乔布斯刚刚回到了苹果,并提出了知名的“Think Different”口号。他想让疯狂的人,包括非主流的人、反叛分子、麻烦制造者,还有那些格格不入的人来做最好的事情。乔布斯认为:如果苹果能够做到这一点,我们就真的可以改变世界了。 (原文节选自苹果公司CEO蒂姆-库克2017年在MIT毕业典礼上的讲话)
