偶遇乔布斯-豆瓣译者项目试译
虽然最终没能入选,但是我还是敝帚自珍的决定放到自己的豆瓣上~
原文
I worked at NeXT the summer of 94. I was in the break room with 2 colleagues when Jobs walked in and started making a bagel. We were sitting at a table eating ours when he out of the blue asked us "Who is the most powerful person in the world?" I said Mandela since I had just been there as an international observer for the elections. In his confident fashion he stated "NO! ...you are all wrong...the most powerful person in the world is the story teller." At this point I was thinking to myself "Steve, I love you but there is a fine line between genius and loco… and I think I am witnessing this right now". Steve continued, "The storyteller sets the vision, values and agenda of an entire generation that is to come and Disney has a monopoly on the storyteller business. You know what? I am tired of that bullshit, I am going to be the next storyteller" and he walked out with his bagel.
译文:
1994年的夏天,我曾在NeXT公司上班。有天,当乔布斯走进休息室的时候,我和另两位同事也在里面。他开始给自己做硬面包圈。正当我们坐在桌边吃着自己的面包圈的时候,他突然开口问道:“这个世界上谁的能量最大?”我说是曼德拉,因为我此前刚作为一名国际观察员参加过曼德拉的选举。乔布斯用他那自信十足的口吻陈述道:“哦,不,你错啦,这世界上最有能量的人是讲故事的人。”那时,我对自己说:“史蒂夫,我真的很欣赏你,但是我也知道天才和疯子往往只有一线之隔,瞧,现在不就是这个情况。”史蒂夫继续说道:“讲故事的人会为正在成长的一整代人设定他们的视野、观念以及行事的风格,而现在迪士尼正在包揽所有讲故事的工作。你们知道吗?我对他们的那一套已经受够了,我要成为下一个讲故事的人。”然后他就拿着自己的硬面包圈走开了。
