喬布斯求職信拍出17.4萬美元 遠超預估價

A one-page job application filled out by Steve Jobs more than four decades ago that reflected the Apple founder's technology aspirations sold for $174,000 at a U.S. auction, more than three times its presale estimate.

四十多年前，蘋果公司創始人史蒂夫·喬布斯填寫了一份求職申請，申請中透露了他對科技的嚮往。如今，這份申請在美國的一家拍賣行被拍出17.4萬美元的價格，這要比此前預計的價格高出三倍還多。

An Internet entrepreneur from England was the winning bidder, Boston-based auction house RR Auction said last Friday, but the buyer wished to remain anonymous.

波士頓的RR拍賣行在上週五表示，一位英國籍的互聯網企業家是這場競標的贏家，但是他希望能夠匿名購買。

The application dated 1973, complete with spelling and punctuation errors, had been expected to fetch about $50,000.

這份1973年的申請充斥着各種拼寫和標點符號的錯誤，之前一度被期待也就能拍到5萬美元。

The form lists his name as "Steven jobs" and address as "reed college," the Portland, Oregon, college he attended briefly. Next to "Phone:" he wrote "none."

表格上寫着的名字爲“史蒂文·喬布斯”，地址是俄勒岡州波特蘭“裏德學院”，喬布斯曾在此短暫就讀。在“電話”一欄旁邊，他則寫了“沒有”。

Under a section titled "Special Abilities," Jobs wrote "tech or design engineer. digital.—from Bay near Hewitt-Packard," a reference to pioneering California technology company Hewlett-Packard and the San Francisco Bay area.

在“技能亮點”這一欄中，喬布斯寫着“科技與設計工程師，惠普旁的數字硬盤海灣”，這裏引用了加利福尼亞科技公司先驅惠普以及舊金山灣。

The document does not state what position or company the application was intended for. Jobs and friend Steve Wozniak founded Apple about three years later.

該申請並沒有說明要投遞的是什麼職位或什麼公司。三年後，喬布斯和朋友史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克創立了蘋果公司。

RR Auction said the high price reflected the continuing influence of Jobs, who died of cancer in 2011 at the age of 56.

RR拍賣行表示，拍賣的高價格反映了喬布斯的持續影響。喬布斯於2011年因癌症去世，享年56歲。
