名人演讲名段 — Steve Jobs 斯坦福毕业典礼演讲精华（2005） 主题：Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish — 职业生涯的坚持、热爱与勇气

📝 英文原文

From Steve Jobs’ Stanford Commencement Address, June 12, 2005

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 others’ 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.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

🗣️ 口才小贴士

用好”三拍节奏”增强演讲感染力 Steve Jobs 的这段演讲大量使用短句三连排比（triplet），这是演讲中最经典有力的修辞手法。例如：

“Don’t be trapped by dogma… Don’t let the noise… drown out… And most important, have the courage…”

练习建议：

1. 找到你段落中 3 个并列的观点或建议
2. 用 “Don’t… Don’t… And most important…” 或 “First… Second… But most of all…” 的结构串联
3. 每句之间停顿 1 秒，第三句加重语气
4. 这样讲出来的内容天然具备节奏感和说服力，适合任何口头汇报或演讲场景
