乔布斯于1983年3月访问了纽约，

and was able to convert the courtship into a blind and blinding romance.

向斯卡利发起了猛烈的攻势，事情的发展到了关键时刻。

"I really think you're the guy," Jobs said as they walked through Central Park.

“我真的觉得你很适合，”乔布斯在和斯卡利散步穿过中央公园的时候说，

"I want you to come and work with me. I can learn so much from you."

“我希望你来和我一起工作。我能在你身上学到很多东西。”

Jobs, who had cultivated father figures in the past,

乔布斯曾结识过一些忘年交，

knew just how to play to Sculley's ego and insecurities. It worked.

知道怎样利用斯卡利的自负和不安全感。他的话奏效了。

"I was smitten by him," Sculley later admitted.

“我被他征服了，”斯卡利后来说，

"Steve was one of the brightest people I'd ever met. I shared with him a passion for ideas."

“史蒂夫是我所认识的最聪明的人之一。对于创新，我们都富有激情。”

Sculley, who was interested in art history,

斯卡利对艺术史很感兴趣，

steered them toward the Metropolitan Museum for a little test of whether Jobs was really willing to learn from others.

于是他带乔布斯走向大都会博物馆，他想试试乔布斯，看他是否真的愿意向别人学习。

"I wanted to see how well he could take coaching in a subject where he had no background," he recalled.

Sculley expounded on the difference between the Archaic sculpture of the sixth century B.C. and the Periclean sculptures a century later.

斯卡利详细解释着公元前6世纪的早期雕塑和一个世纪后的伯里克利时代的雕塑有什么区别。

Jobs, who loved to pick up historical nuggets he never learned in college, seemed to soak it in.

乔布斯喜欢学习在大学从未学过的这些历史典故，因此他似乎沉浸其中了。

"I gained a sense that I could be a teacher to a brilliant student," Sculley recalled.

“我感觉自己真的像个老师，在教一个聪颖的学生。”斯卡利回忆说。

Once again he indulged the conceit that they were alike:

斯卡利又一次沉溺在幻想里，他认为他们俩很相像。

"I saw in him a mirror image of my younger self. I, too, was impatient, stubborn, arrogant, impetuous.

“我在他身上看到了自己年轻时候的影子。我那时也没有耐心，固执、傲慢、冲动。

My mind exploded with ideas, often to the exclusion of everything else.

我的脑子里总是充满了新鲜的想法，装不下任何其他的事情。

I, too, was intolerant of those who couldn't live up to my demands."

我也不能容忍那些做事达不到我要求的人。”

As they continued their long walk,

他们继续着这次长时间的漫步。

if he hadn't become a businessman, he would be an artist.

如果没做生意人的话，他会成为一名艺术家。

Jobs replied that if he weren't working with computers, he could see himself as a poet in Paris.
