在他的《怪物史莱克》获得成功后，他来找我，和我说：

"I'm a changed man, I'm finally at peace with myself," and all this crap.

“我变了，我现在完全平静下来了。”这些都是胡扯。

And it was like, give me a break, Jeffrey. For his part, Katzenberg was much more gracious.

"There's a classic thing in business, which is the second-product syndrome," Jobs later said.

乔布斯之后说：“在商业界有个很经典的理论，叫做‘第二个产品综合症’。”

It comes from not understanding what made your first product so successful.

症结在于对第一个产品的成功缺乏理解。

"I lived through that at Apple. My feeling was, if we got through our second film, we'd make it."

“我在苹果就对此深有体会。我的感觉是，如果做成了第二部电影，我们就成功了。”
