　　In addition, they knew about the plans for Big Mac;

　　even though it had been shelved, this was still proprietary¹ information.

　　But when Sculley walked into his 7:30 staff meeting and told his top lieutenants³ who was leaving, there was an uproar⁴.

　　7点半，斯卡利走进会议室，吿诉自己的高级职员团队，公司里将有哪些人要离幵。会场一片哗然。

　　Most of them felt that Jobs had breached⁵ his duties as chairman and displayed stunning⁶ disloyalty to the company.

　　大多数人认为，乔布斯违反了董事长的职责，并且对公司表现出惊人的不忠。

　　"We should expose him for the fraud that he is so that people here stop regarding him as a messiah," Campbell shouted, according to Sculley.

　　据斯卡利回忆，坎贝尔当时大喊道：“我们应该曝光他的欺诈行为，这样苹果公司的人就不会继续把他当做救世主！”

　　Campbell admitted that, although he later became a great Jobs defender⁷ and supportive board member, he was ballistic that morning.

　　尽管坎贝尔后来成为了乔布斯真正的拥护者和董事会成员里的支持者，但他承认自己那天早上的确火药味儿十足。

　　"I was fucking furious, especially about him taking Dan'l Lewin," he recalled.

　　“我非常非常愤怒，尤其是他要带走丹·卢因，”坎贝尔说，

　　"Dan'l had built the relationships with the universities.

　　“卢因已经同高校建立了关系。

　　He was always muttering about how hard it was to work with Steve, and then he left."

　　他总在嘟囔和史蒂夫共事多么难，可现在却要走人。”
