演讲稿

The other thing differently because there wasn't any software at the beginning. You had to think differently when a first computer arrived at a school, where there had never been one before. It was an Apple Ⅱ. I think you have to think really differently when you bought a Mac. It was a totally different computer working in a totally different way, using a totally different part of your brain. It opened up the computer world for a tot of people who thought differently. You were buying a computer with an installed base of one. You have to think differently to do that. And I think you still have to think differently to buy an Apple computer. And I think the people that do buy them do think differently. They are the creative spirits in this world. They are the people that are not just out to get a job, but they're out to change the world. They're out to change the world using whatever great tools they can get. And we make tools for those kinds of people.
还有一点不同就是因为刚开始的时候也没有什么软件。你一定有不同的想法,因为刚开始当第一台Apple Ⅱ抵达学校的时候,之前那儿是从来没有过的。我想当你买Mac电脑的时候,你对计算机的看法一定会大有改观。那是完全不一样的计算机,以一种完全不一样的方式运行,你要运用大脑里完全不同的部分。它为很多想法不同的人打开了计算机的世界。你买的是一台安装好系统的计算机,是一体的。你那时必须以完全不同的方式认识它。你现在仍会在买一台苹果计算机的时候产生新的想法。我想那些购买它的人,一定有不一样的思考模式,他们是这个世界上最具有创新精神的人。那些人出门不是去找一份工作,而是去改变世界。 并且他们使用任何他们可能获得的绝妙工具去改变世界。我们就是在为这些人制造工具。
So, hopefully, what you're seen here today are some beginning steps that give you some confidence that we too are going to think differently and serve the people that have been buying our products since the beginning. Because a lot of times, people think they're crazy. But in that craziness, we see genius. And those are the people we're making tools for.
所以我希望当你今天看到一些我们开始采取的步骤时,会带给你—些信心。我们也会有不同的想法,并为那些从一开始就购买我们产品的人提供服务。因为很多时候,人们会觉得他们疯了。但是,从这种疯狂中,我们看到了天才,我们正是在为这群人提供工具。
Thank you very much.
非常感谢你们。
