“最大的问题在于他还没准备好要开刀，”鲍威尔回忆说，

"It's hard to push someone to do that." She did try, however.

His friends repeatedly urged him to have surgery and chemotherapy.

“有一次，他告诉我他尝试通过吃些杂七杂八的草根进行治疗，

and I told him he was crazy," Grove¹ recalled.

Levinson said that he "pleaded every day" with Jobs and found it "enormously frustrating² that I just couldn't connect with him."

莱文森说，自己“每天恳求”乔布斯进行手术治疗，却发现“挫败感非常强烈，因为自己没法儿说服他”。

The fights almost ruined their friendship.

这种分歧甚至差点儿让两人友谊破裂。

"That' s not how cancer works," Levinson insisted when Jobs discussed his diet treatments.

“癌症不是这么治的，”当乔布斯谈论自己的饮食疗法时，莱文森坚持说道，

"You cannot solve this without surgery and blasting it with toxic³ chemicals."

took a long walk with Jobs and insisted that sometimes traditional methods were the right option.
