乔布斯,英文笔记,2013.2.25.docxVIP

2013.2.25In late 1972, there was a fundamental shift happening in American campus life. The nation’s 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[?k?mp?ni]?vt. 陪伴, 伴随，给...伴奏 vi. 伴奏activism[?ktiviz?m;?kt?viz?m]?n. 行动主义，激进主义 n.

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 Jobs’stape 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[d?nj?l]?n. 丹尼尔（男子名） n.
