欧美文化博览 天才史蒂夫·乔布斯改变世界(4)

 

In the first meeting where I saw Steve Jobs he was rushing around madly, trying to listen in on every one of those conversations that was going on simultaneously¹. He had a real intensity² to his demeanor³.

Jobs imagined a machine for people, and he sensed he was the man to make it happen. The two Steves found an investor⁴, and formed Apple Computer inc.

The name apple, the friendly shape, the friendly advertizing we did , Steve was a genius at marketing⁵ that it helped bring this whole category of device to the world.

Apple I morphed into Apple II which went further, it was faster and had text display, color graphics⁶ and its own plastic casing.

It was the first personal computer that a human being, a normal human being, a non-technically oriented human being could use.

I think Steve Jobs knew that he was on to something big, real big.

我第一次是在一次会议中见到乔布斯，他当时正在四处奔波,试图听着每个人同时发生的对话。他有自己的风度。

乔布斯制造了一台以人为本的机器，而他正在使梦想成真。这两点使史蒂夫发现了一个投资者,并形成了苹果电脑公司。

苹果的名称,这一友好的形状,我们这样做了友好的广告,史蒂夫是个营销天才,这使公司所有产品推向世界。

苹果I代向苹果II代转变,走得更远。处理速度更快，有文本显示,颜色图形和塑料外壳。

这是第一台个人电脑,一个人,一个正常人,一个没有任何电脑基础的人都可以使用的电脑。

我认为史蒂夫·乔布斯有大的，非常大的设想。
