史蒂夫乔布斯英语简介
Steven Paul “Steve” Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American businessman, designer and inventor. He is best known as the co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. Through Apple, he was widely recognized as a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer revolution and for his influential career in the computer and consumer electronics fields.
As Apple floundered, Jobs took control of the company and was named “interim CEO” in 1997, or as he jokingly referred to it, “iCEO”. Under his leadership, Apple was saved from near bankruptcy, and became profitable by 1998.
Over the next decade, Jobs oversaw the development of the iMac, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, and iPad and on the services side, the company’s Apple Retail Stores, iTunes Store and the App Store. The success of these products and services, providing several years of stable financial returns, propelled Apple to become the world’s most valuable publicly traded company in 2011. The reinvigoration of the company is regarded by some commentators as one of the greatest business turnaround stories.

史蒂芬?保罗?乔布斯，通称史蒂夫?乔布斯，(1955年2月24日-2011年10月5日)，是美国商业巨子，设计家和发明家。他是蘋果公司的創辦人之一，曾任该公司董事長及行政总裁等职位。他在苹果公司被公认是一个具有领导风范的先锋人物，其在个人电脑领域和电脑和电子消费领域的个人影响力不可估量。
在苹果公司陷入危机之时，乔布斯接管了公司，在1997年被任命为“过度CEO”，他自嘲自己是“iCEO”(英语中过度一词为interim，取首字母i，组成iCEO一词)。在他的领导下，苹果公司有惊无险地度过了破产的边缘，并在1998年重新开始卖座。
在之后的20年中，乔布斯从服务方面监制了旗下iMac，iTunes，iPod，iPhone，和iPad产品，并监督了苹果零售店，iTunes商店和App商店。这些产品和服务的成功为公司带来了多年持续的'利润，促进苹果公司在2011年成为世界上最有价值的股票公开上市公司。苹果公司的死而复生在许多评论家看来是上届最伟大的转亏为盈的事例之一。
