那里滿(mǎn)是天馬行空的技術(shù)狂人

and inspirational ideas.

處處閃現(xiàn)著創(chuàng)意

It was just a kind of dream place.

簡(jiǎn)直就是科研人員的天堂

We had a general overall vision about what we called

我們對(duì)今后辦公氛圍的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)有一個(gè)構(gòu)想

"the office of the future."

我們稱(chēng)之為"未來(lái)的辦公室"

And that was it. We were told to figure out how to do that.

PARC實(shí)現(xiàn)了這個(gè)構(gòu)想 它也是我們的研究目標(biāo)之一

Jobs was desperate to take a look inside

喬布斯對(duì)個(gè)充滿(mǎn)了奇思妙想的地方滿(mǎn)懷好奇

期待能夠進(jìn)去好好參觀一番

I demonstrated various technologies that our group had,

我展示了我們團(tuán)隊(duì)的各項(xiàng)新技術(shù)

but the things that stood out to the visitors

讓觀眾眼前一亮的

were the pointing device, the mouse, which we hadn't invented.

是我們的指向設(shè)備 也就是鼠標(biāo) 它并不是我們發(fā)明的

It had been around for 15 years. We had just improved it,

鼠標(biāo)已經(jīng)問(wèn)世15年了 我們只是對(duì)它進(jìn)行了改進(jìn)

Jobs couldn't believe what he was seeing.

喬布斯簡(jiǎn)直不敢相信自己的眼睛

He started pacing around the room very nervously almost,

他開(kāi)始非常神經(jīng)質(zhì)地在房間踱步

and then more excitedly and then he just couldn't hold it back.

然后興奮起來(lái) 接著就無(wú)法克制了

He just had to talk.

他不吐不快

So, he started saying things like, "You're sitting on a gold mine."

于是他開(kāi)始說(shuō) "你們這個(gè)可以賺大錢(qián)"

"This is insanely great. It is just amazing."

"這真是好得不得了 太不可思議了"

"Why aren't you doing anything with this?"

"為什么你們還沒(méi)把它利用起來(lái)?"

我走到他辦公室里坐下后說(shuō)

"Steve, I've been thinking about a few product ideas"

"喬布斯 我最近有些關(guān)于新產(chǎn)品的想法..."

我還沒(méi)來(lái)得及把話(huà)說(shuō)完 他說(shuō) "停 Dean

I know exactly what we need to do."

我已經(jīng)知道我們下一個(gè)產(chǎn)品是什么了"

When he said "a mouse", I looked at him and said "A mouse?"

當(dāng)他說(shuō)到鼠標(biāo)的時(shí)候 我一頭霧水看著他說(shuō) 鼠標(biāo)?

I had no clue what a mouse was.

我完全不知道鼠標(biāo)是個(gè)什么東西

Xerox saw the mouse as part of an expensive business computer.

施樂(lè)公司把鼠標(biāo)看作是昂貴的商務(wù)電腦配件

Jobs saw it very differently.

但喬布斯并不這么認(rèn)為
