當喬布斯在演講中回憶起一年前剛患癌癥的經(jīng)歷時，或許他從未曾料想到自己會這么快與世長辭。面對死亡，恐懼是在所難免的。然而天意弄人，我們只能愿逝者安息，珍惜自己活著的每一天。

About a year ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me, this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next ten years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes. I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach, into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope, the doctors started crying. Because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery, and thankfully, I'm fine now.
大概一年以前, 我被診斷出癌癥。早晨七點半我去做檢查, 結果清楚的顯示在我的胰腺有一個腫瘤。我當時都不知道胰腺是什么東西。醫(yī)生告訴我是一種無法治愈的癌癥, 或許我只剩下三到六個月的時間了。醫(yī)生讓我回家打理好一切, 其實就是在暗示我做好心理準備。那意味著你要把十年的話在幾個月里對孩子們說完；那意味著你要把每件事情都安排好, 讓你的家人心里盡量好過些；那意味著你要說“再見”了。一整天我腦子全都是那份診斷書。晚上我又做了一個活切片檢查，醫(yī)生把內(nèi)窺鏡從我的喉嚨伸進去,通過胃, 然后進入腸子, 用針在胰腺腫瘤上取下細胞。我當時處于麻醉狀態(tài)，但是我妻子一直在那兒, 后來她告訴我，當醫(yī)生用顯微鏡觀察這些細胞的時候他們激動得驚呼出來,。到頭來，這是雖一種非常罕見的癌癥，但是卻可以通過手術治愈。而我進行了手術,謝天謝地，現(xiàn)在我痊愈了。
