欧美文化博览 天才史蒂夫·乔布斯改变世界(9)

Pixar with millions and its payout was billions, okay I mean, and that's really all you need to know.

皮克斯公司现在盈利数百万，数十亿甚至是天文数字，好吧，我的意思是，这就是你需要知道的一切。

Perhaps Jobs is greatest contribution to Pixar with recognizing its hidden potential and standing¹ by his investment.Something he would do again and again after he's returned to Apple in 1997 after NeXT technology.

也许乔布斯是最大的皮克斯动画工作室的贡献者，他帮助皮克斯认识到了其蕴含的巨大潜力及支持他的投资。乔布斯于1997年回到苹果时会再一次又一次地投身到下一代技术当中去。

He was somebody who saw technology which was faceless, cold, mechanical, and saw in it the promise of a world that is warm, that reaches out, that touches people because that's what the computer revolution is all about. Touching² people.

他就是那些说技术是毫无个性的，冷冰冰的，机械的人。这些人也对世界承诺技术是温暖的,伸手即可触及到的。这就是计算机革命的全部:让人们触手可及。

Jobs' sequel takes him from play things to play lists and the world becomes his theater.

乔布斯的坚持使他按照清单来做事，这也使他成为全世界的演出中心。
