响了。”根据布伦南的描述，科特肯态度摇摆不定：有时会跟布伦南表示乔布斯不该这样对她，有时又会和乔布斯一起嘲笑怀有身孕的布伦南。 【翻译笔记】 1. gang up on：联合对付，联合反对.  gang最基本的用法是用作名词表示团伙，组织，带有一定的贬义；用作动词时表示成群结伙（伤害、恐吓某人）。gang up: 聚集联合，朋比为奸。 [en]Various agencies gang up to combat the use of [w]illicit[/w] drugs.[/en][cn]各个机构联合起来对抗非法药品的使用。[/cn] [en]Every year, all the kids gang up on me and throw me in the pool.[/en][cn]每年，孩子们都对我群起而攻之，将我抛入游泳池。[/cn] 2. caught in the middle：被夹在中间，左右为难。这个短语很好理解，也很形象。要注意的是这里使用的是被动语态，表示某人的窘迫境地。 [en]If you take over Dora's job, you are sure to be caught in the middle.[/en][cn]如果接替多拉的工作，你一定会被搞得进退两难。[/cn] [en]And caught in the middle of shareholders and the relevant departments, CSRC is currently estimated that dilemma.[/en][cn]而夹在股民和相关部门中间的证监会目前估计左右为难。[/cn] 3. ironic resonance 讽刺的巧合： 乔布斯的亲生父母在怀上乔布斯时都是23岁，而怀上Lisa时乔布斯和布伦南也都是23岁。这一点也让乔布斯觉得很吃惊。最布伦南年轻时候的照片，只有这张模糊的照片） 第七章中，作者的笔触转向了乔布斯的感情生活。乔布斯具有讽刺意味的是，一生下就被遗弃的乔布斯（he who is abandoned），也把同样的命运加诸于自己的女儿。乔布斯为了否认父女关系，不惜在法庭上声称自己没有生育能力。之所以后来会接受亲子鉴定（paternity test），也是因为当时苹果即将上市，所以不想有负面新闻。乔布斯在多年后承认，成熟之后的他回头再想，觉得对布伦南太过残忍和无情。如果时光倒流，他们会不会有不一样的结局？ 参与《乔布斯传》翻译笔记讨论，贴上你的翻译版本>>>

乔布斯与苹果电脑公司的第一位投资人迈克·马克库拉） 《乔布斯传》自问世以来受到了全世界人民的关注，对此沪江英语推出《乔布斯传》翻译笔记系列，让我们在翻译学习中回顾乔帮主的伟大一生。第六章中，沃兹设计出了部件完整的一体机苹果二代。苹果公司的发展急需一位市场营销方面的人才，乔布斯挑中了33岁的迈克·马克库拉（Mike Markkula），他成为苹果的第一位投资人，在接下去的20年里对苹果的发展起着关键作用的角色。马克库拉是乔布斯的营销导师，正是他教给了乔布斯对产品的执着关注和对顾客体验的重视。马克库拉著名的“苹果营销哲学”指的是哪三点？ 【英语原文】 Markkula would become a father figure to Jobs. Like Jobs’s adoptive father, he would indulge Jobs’s strong will, and like his biological father, he would end up abandoning him. He began to teach Jobs about marketing and sales. “Mike really took me under his wing,” Jobs recalled. “His values were much [w=align]aligned[/w] with mine.” Markkula wrote his [w=principle]principles[/w] in a one-page paper titled “The Apple Marketing Philosophy” that stressed three points. The first was empathy, an intimate connection with the feelings of the customer: “We will truly understand their needs better than any other company.” The second was focus: “In order to do a good job of those things that we decide to do, we must eliminate all of the unimportant opportunities.” The third and equally important principle, awkwardly named, was impute. It emphasized that people form an opinion about a company or product based on the signals that it conveys. “People DO judge a book by its cover,” he wrote. “We may have the best product, the highest quality, the most useful software etc.; if we present them in a slipshod manner, they will be perceived as [w]slipshod[/w]; if we present them in a creative, professional manner, we will impute the desired qualities.” (Chapter 6 The Apple II: Mike Markkula) 【沪江译文】 马克库拉之于乔布斯，是一个父亲的角色。他像是乔布斯的养父，放任乔布斯强烈的自我意愿；他又像是乔布斯的生父，最终还是把他抛弃。他开始手把手地传授乔布斯市场和营销的知识。乔布斯回忆道：“马克真的一直很照顾我，我们的价值观很一致。” 马克库拉把他的原则写在一张纸上，标题是“苹果营销哲学”，其中强调了三点：第一是共鸣，强调与客户情感的紧密联系。“我们会比其他任何公司都了解顾客的真正需求。”第二是专注，“为了做好我们决定去做的这些事情，我们必须拒绝掉所有无关紧要的机会。”第三个很重要的原则名称有些奇怪，叫灌输，这个原则强调的是人们对一个公司和产品的看法主要基于它所传递的信号。“人们真的会以貌取人。” 马克库拉在这一点中写到。“我们也许有最好的产品，最优的质量，最实用的软件，但是如果我们用粗糙马虎的方式展现，人们也会觉得我们的产品很差劲；如果我们用积极创意的方式，那么我们就会给顾客灌输这些品质要求。” 【翻译笔记】 1. take me under his wing：照顾、庇护、帮助（某人）。这个词语来源于鸟妈妈保护幼鸟的动作，那就是把幼鸟藏在自己的翅膀下。 [en]I wouldn’t have gotten promoted as quickly if my boss hadn’t taken me under his wing at work. [/en][cn]如果不是我老板在工作中对我诸多照顾，我也不会升迁地这么快。[/cn] 想要表达照顾、保护某人时，还有一个类似的短语：give wings [en]Megan’s history teacher give wings to her during her first semester in high school.

命中的点点滴滴发生的事情;第二个故事：关于爱和失去;第三个故事：关于死亡。          从这些故事中，让我们可以看到乔布斯其实是一个非常善于思考和非常感性的一个人，他可以从自己身边发生的点点滴滴联想到很多很多，并且从中了解到自己内心想要的是什么，为自己立下能达到的目标，然后朝着这个目标努力前进，直到成功。很喜欢他说的一句话：我们要活出自己、追求自己真正想要的、做最真实和美好的自己!          乔布斯在结尾点题，以“好学若饥，谦卑若愚”作为主题对观众建议，他充分揭示了他成功的秘密：无论是作为一位成功的企业领导者，还是作为一位沟通大师，做你钟爱的事情，将挫折视为机会，永葆一腔热情，不断追求卓越。保持信心、相信你自己的能力和你过去的人生经历，让我们的生命追随内心的召唤和指示。          求知若饥，虚心若愚。最后把这句话留给大家，我觉得他是用心良苦。现在就是个学习的时代，不学习是赶不上时代的浪潮，不论做什么工作都要不断学习，现在的年轻人不学习真的会被饿死。虚心若愚还不知道是什么意思，没有什么体会，可能就是让我们做事谦虚、虚心点。最后感谢伟大的乔布斯，他是改乔布斯的视频，因本人对一些电子产品并不是特别喜欢，所以对乔布斯变了世界。自己又将改变些什么呢？

Earlier this month, we learned that Ashton Kutcher was poised to play the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in an indie [w]biopic[/w]. The news made sense for some reasons (the physical similarities), but came as a bit of a surprise for other reasons (he’s Ashton Kutcher). At the time we didn’t really know much about the project beyond the fact that Joshua Michael Stern (Swing Vote) is directing, and the film, going by the terrible working title Jobs: Get Inspired, will [w]chronicle[/w] the innovator’s life “from a wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple.” Now producer Mark Hulme has spilled a few details about the project, including how they feel about Sony’s competing Jobs biopic and why they think Kutcher is their man to play the lead role. Hit the jump to see what he had to say. During an interview with Neowin (via /Film), Hulme revealed that Jobs will primarily focus on the early years of Apple, “its founding and the up and down years: 1971-2000.” They’re pulling from a variety of sources for their research, and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, former Apple CEOs John Skully and Mike Markkula, and early Apple employee Daniel Kottke are all characters that will factor into the film. As for the casting of Kutcher, Hulme had this to say: “Since our film covers the early years of Apple, when Jobs was in his 20′s, we needed an actor who could carry not only the youthfulness of Jobs at the time but also the psychological [w]complexity[/w]. Because of that, and Ashton’s physical similarities to Jobs, he’s perfect for our film… When Ashton read the script he was immediately attracted to the project. He is a Steve Jobs and Apple fan, and is technologically savvy, as well, so he recognized the historical importance of Steve Jobs and the potential of the project. He is very excited to have the role.” Hulme revealed that they began researching and writing the screenplay immediately after Jobs’ retirement was announced as a result of the enormous impact the news had on Hulme’s staff. As such, they’re much further ahead than Sony’s competing project: “Sony is a highly respected company, and Isaacson’s book is a great read. But our project was in development even before the release of Isaacson’s book and our movie will be out well before their movie.” The plan is to release the film during the fourth quarter of this year, and distribution deals are currently in the works. I’m not exactly wild about Kutcher playing Jobs, but I’d love nothing more than to be pleasantly surprised by a wonderful performance. Luckily we don’t have to wait very long to find out how Jobs: Get Inspired comes together given how quickly things are moving forward. 沪江娱乐快讯：时隔6个多月，苹果公司创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯逝世的消息已经寂然，但对这位科技界巨头轶闻趣记的重现还在热闹之中。此前我们曾报道索尼买下《乔布斯传》的改编版权，并准备运作一部大制作。而与此同时，另一部名为《乔布斯》(Jobs)的传记片也在悄然运作。 最新消息称，这部确认由约书亚·迈克尔·斯坦恩（《关键投票》）执导，凭《好汉两个半》在美剧圈风生水起的艾什顿·库彻加盟，暂定名为《乔布斯：获得灵感》（《Jobs: Get Inspired》）的传记片即将于5月开拍，并预计在今年第四季度上映。 该传记片将记录乔布斯1971-2000，即16-45岁之间的工
