乔布斯,英文笔记,2013.2.25.docx

2013.2.25In late 1972, there was a fundamental shift happening in American campus life. The nations involvement in the Vietnam War, and the draft that accompanied it, was winding down. Political activism at colleges receded and in many late-night dorm conversations was replaced by an interest in pathways to personal fulfillment. Jobs found himself deeply influenced by a variety of books on spirituality and enlightenment, most notably Be Here Now, a guide to meditation and the wonders of psychedelic drugs by Baba Ram Dass, born Richard Alpert. “It was profound,” Jobs said. “It transformed me and many of my friends.” accompany kmpni vt. 陪伴, 伴随，给.伴奏 vi. 伴奏 activism ktivizm;ktvizm n. 行动主义，激进主义 n. 哲触动论 recede risi:d vi. 后退,减弱 vt. 撤回 Vietnam vitnm n. 越南 draft dr:ft n. 草稿,草图,汇票，徵兵 vt. 起草,征兵,选秀 adj. 酝酿中的 involvement invlvmnt n. 包含, 缠绕, 混乱, 复杂的情况 pathway p:wei n. 路, 径 wind wind,waind n. 风,气流,风向,管乐器,动向,潮流,空想, 卷绕,一圈 vt. 上发条,缠绕,蜿蜒,使.喘气,使.通风,吹奏 vi. 卷曲, 吹响号角, 迂回 variety vraiti n. 多样, 种类, 杂耍 notably ntbli adv. 显著地(著名地,值得注意地,格外,特别是) spirituality spiritjuliti n. 精神性, 灵性 fulfillment fulfilmnt n. 满足，完成，履行 meditation meditein n. 沉思,冥想 enlightenment inlaitnmnt n. 启蒙 n.【佛教】 开悟 BaBa ba:b n. 兰姆糕 profound prfaund adj. 极深的,深奥的,深厚的,严重的 ram rm v.和相撞；撞击；塞进，挤进 transform trnsf:m vt. 转换,变形 vi. 改变 n. 变形 psychedelic saikidelik adj. 引起幻觉的 n. 迷幻药The closest of those friends was another wispy-bearded freshman named Daniel Kottke, who met Jobs a week after they arrived at Reed and shared his interest in Zen, Dylan, and acid. Kottke, from a wealthy New York suburb, was smart but low-octane, with a sweet flower-child demeanor made even mellower by his interest in Buddhism. That spiritual quest had caused him to eschew material possessions, but he was nonetheless impressed by Jobss tape deck. “Steve had a TEAC reel-to-reel and massive quantities of Dylan bootlegs,” Kottke recalled. “He was both really cool and high-tech.” Zen zen n. 禅 Daniel dnjl n. 丹尼尔（男子名） n. 圣经但以理书 reed ri:d n. 芦苇, 芦笛,簧片 Reed：里德（姓氏） wealthy weli adj. 富有的 n. 富人 acid sid adj. 酸的 n. 酸, 酸味物质 demeanor dimi:n n. 行为(态度,举止) Buddhism budizm n. 佛教 possession pzen n. 财产, 所有, 拥有 spiritual sprtl adj. 精神的, 心灵的 n.

They hitchhiked to the coast together, engaged in the typical dorm raps about the meaning of life, attended the love festivals at the local Hare Krishna temple, and went to the Zen center for free vegetarian meals. “It was a lot of fun,” said Kottke, “but also philosophical, and we took Zen very seriously.” grilling grili n. 烤, 炙, 盘问动词grill的现在分词形式 coast kust n. 海岸,海滨,滑坡 vt. 沿海岸而行 vi. 下滑 hitchhike hithaik v. 搭便车 rap rp n. 轻敲,拍击,责骂,厉声说出,说唱音乐,谈话,最少量 vi. 轻敲, 敲门,表演说唱音乐, 畅谈 vt.抓,抢,拍击 dorm d:m n.

They created a meditation room in the attic crawl space above Elizabeth Holmess room and fixed it up with Indian prints, a dhurrie rug, candles, incense, and meditation cushions. “There was a hatch in the ceiling leading to an attic which had a huge amount of space,” Jobs said. “We took psychedelic drugs there sometimes, but mainly we just meditated.” autobiography :tbaigrfi n. 自传 spiritual sprtl adj. 精神的, 心灵的 n.
