His iPod selections were those of a kid from the seventies with his heart in the sixties.

这只iPod中的歌曲反映出他的主人是一个生活在20世纪70年代但心却埋在60年代的孩子。

There were Aretha, B. B. King, Buddy¹ Holly², Buffalo³ Springfield, Don McLean, Donovan,

那个时候的艺术家包括了艾瑞莎、比比金、巴迪·霍利、布法罗·斯普林菲尔德乐队、唐·马克林、多诺万、

the Doors, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Cash, John Mellencamp, Simon and Garfunkel,

大门乐队、詹尼斯·乔普林、杰弗逊飞船乐队、吉米·亨德里克斯、约翰尼·卡什、约翰·麦文盖博、西蒙和加芬克尔，

and even The Monkees ("I'm a Believer") and Sam the Sham⁴ ("Wooly Bully").

甚至还有演奏《我是一个信徒》的门基乐队以及演奏《乌利布利》的Sam the Sham。

Only about a quarter of the songs were from more contemporary artists,

只有1/4的歌曲出自当时的流行歌手，

such as 10,000 Maniacs⁵, Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Dido, Green Day,

比如一万个骗子乐队、阿丽西無·吉丝、黑眼豆豆、酷玩乐队、蒂呆、绿日乐队、

John Mayer (a friend of both his and Apple), Moby (likewise), U2, Seal, and Talking Heads.

约翰·梅尔（既是乔布斯也是苹果的朋友）、莫比（同上），以及U2乐队、席尔还有“会说话的头”朋克乐队。

As for classical music, there were a few recordings⁶ of Bach,

古典音乐方面，有一些巴赫的曲目，

including the Brandenburg Concertos⁷, and three albums by Yo-Yo Ma.

包括《勃兰登堡协奏曲》，此外还有3张马友友的专辑。

Jobs told Sheryl Crow in May 2003 that he was downloading some Eminem tracks, admitting, "He's starting to grow on me."

2003年5月，乔布斯告诉雪儿·克罗他正在下载一些艾米纳姆的歌曲，还说“他已经开始进入我的生活了”。

James Vincent subsequently took him to an Eminem concert.

詹姆斯·文森特还带他去看了艾米纳姆的演唱会。

Even so, the rapper missed making it onto Jobs's iPod.

即便如此，乔布斯也没有把这个说唱歌手放进他的播放列表里。

As Jobs said to Vincent after the concert, "I don' t know..."

在演唱会结束后，乔布斯和文森特说：“我不知道...”

He later told me, "I respect Eminem as an artist, but I just don't want to listen to his music,

他后来告诉我，“艾米纳姆是我欣赏的一个艺术家，但我只是不想听他的歌，

and I can't relate to his values the way I can to Dylan's."

他不能让我产生像我对迪伦那样的共鸣。
