阅读蒂姆·库克作为苹果首席执行官的最后一封致员工信
Steve Jobs’ successor carried the torch of the iPhone and built Apple into a global powerhouse with few rivals. Since becoming CEO in 2011, Tim Cook has led the company to become one of the most dominant forces in the daily lives of billions of people. Today is his last day as CEO.
史蒂夫·乔布斯的继任者接过 iPhone 的火炬，将苹果打造成了一家几乎没有竞争对手的全球巨头。自 2011 年出任首席执行官以来，蒂姆·库克带领公司成为了数十亿人日常生活中最具影响力的力量之一。今天是他在任的最后一天。
We’ll have a lot to say about new Apple CEO John Ternus as the change happens. For now, you can read Cook’s final letter to Apple staff below, as reported by Bloomberg and 9to5Mac:
随着这一变动的发生，我们将会有很多关于苹果新任首席执行官约翰·特努斯（John Ternus）的报道。目前，您可以阅读库克写给苹果员工的最后一封信，以下内容由彭博社和 9to5Mac 报道：
Team, Today is my last day as CEO of Apple. This is a moment I always knew would come one day, and yet it is still hard to believe it has arrived and I am writing these words. I love this company and the team behind it, and I couldn’t let this day pass without sending a note to you, to tell you how grateful I am for the outpouring of affection you’ve sent my way, for the way you’ve shown up each and every day, and most of all, for the privilege of a lifetime serving as your leader.
团队成员们，今天是我就任苹果首席执行官的最后一天。我一直知道这一刻终会到来，但当它真的降临时，我仍难以相信自己正在写下这些文字。我热爱这家公司以及背后的团队，我不能让这一天就这样过去而不给你们写点什么，我想告诉你们，我多么感激你们给予我的深情厚谊，感激你们每一天的付出，最重要的是，感激我有幸能担任你们的领导者，这是我一生的荣幸。
The truth is, whatever there is to say about my success, I know it is all because of you. You have brought out the best in me. In all my life, I have never seen or been with such an extraordinary team of people before, and every day I get to see more examples of that.
事实是，无论外界如何评价我的成功，我深知这一切都归功于你们。是你们激发了我最好的一面。在我的一生中，我从未见过或共事过如此非凡的团队，每一天我都能看到更多证明这一点的事例。
There is something truly special about Apple. I am most proud of what an annual report could never capture. This place is proof that culture triumphs over everything. We share a belief that what we build matters, and that we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to leave the world better than we found it. That purpose is part of what makes this place extraordinary. Apple helps nurture it, but I believe it lived within each of you long before you arrived here. It is what brought you to this company and what continues to drive the work you do every day.
苹果确实有着某种非常特别的东西。我最引以为傲的，是那些年度报告永远无法捕捉到的东西。这个地方证明了文化高于一切。我们共同坚信，我们所创造的事物意义重大，我们既有机会也有责任让这个世界变得比我们发现它时更美好。这种使命感是让这里变得非凡的原因之一。苹果帮助培育了这种精神，但我相信，在你们来到这里之前，它就已经存在于你们每个人的心中。正是这种精神将你们带到了这家公司，并持续驱动着你们每天的工作。
Together, we have created something far greater than any one of us could have imagined or accomplished alone. And that’s the secret to our success. We bring out the best in each other. We lift each other up. We have made it possible to leave our “dent in the universe,” as Steve once described it, because of who we are and what we believe, because of what we value and how we see the world. How fortunate we are. How fortunate I am.
我们共同创造了远超我们任何个人所能想象或独自完成的成就。这就是我们成功的秘诀。我们激发彼此最好的一面，我们互相扶持。正如史蒂夫曾经描述的那样，我们之所以能在“宇宙中留下印记”，是因为我们是谁，我们信仰什么，是因为我们珍视什么以及我们如何看待这个世界。我们是多么幸运。我是多么幸运。
As you know, I am not leaving Apple. But I am stepping away from a role that I have loved deeply. I will miss this work in ways I can only begin to imagine, even as I remain completely at peace with my decision. I will miss leading you and being with you for every step, even as I take enormous comfort in handing the helm to someone as brilliant and wonderful and capable as John. Few people understand what it takes to build products that change the world the way John does and I could not be more excited for his leadership.
如你们所知，我并没有离开苹果。但我正在卸任一个我深爱的职位。我无法想象自己会多么怀念这份工作，尽管我对自己的决定感到完全坦然。我会怀念领导你们并与你们并肩作战的每一个时刻，但同时，将掌舵权交给像约翰这样才华横溢、出色且有能力的人，也让我感到无比欣慰。很少有人像约翰那样理解如何打造改变世界的产品，我对他的领导充满期待。
I hope you know how much I appreciate you and what an honor it has been to be your CEO. Most of all, I hope you will continue to be proud to be part of this remarkable place we call Apple and always give it your very best. When we bring our whole selves to this work, with care for one another and for the people we serve, there is no limit to the profound difference we can make.
我希望你们知道我有多么感激你们，能担任你们的首席执行官是我的荣幸。最重要的是，我希望你们能继续为成为我们称之为“苹果”的这个非凡地方的一员而感到自豪，并始终全力以赴。当我们全身心地投入到这项工作中，互相关心，并关怀我们所服务的人群时，我们所能带来的深远影响将是无限的。
I look forward to seeing you in my new role at Apple Park and around the world. With all I have and all I am, I am always Yours, Tim.
我期待着在 Apple Park 以及世界各地以新的身份与你们相见。倾我所有，尽我所能，永远是你们的，蒂姆。
