《名人傳記》之喬布斯遺失的訪談27:一次奇妙的經歷

So I became very err.... captivated by computer.

我完全給計算機迷住了

And a computer to me was still a little mysterious

當然計算機對我而言仍然有些神秘

cause it's at the other end of wire,I had never really seen the actual computer itself.

因為真正的計算機藏在電纜的另一端，而我從未見過

I think I got towards computers after that, saw the inside,

打那以后我總想著計算機

and then I was part of this school byHewlett-Packard.

后來我在惠普附近的學校讀書

When I was 12, I called up Bill Hewlett who lived in Hewlett-Packard at the time.

12歲時我打電話給Bill Hewlett，他當時住在惠普

And again it dazed me...

又是一次奇妙的經歷

But there was no such thing as unlistedtelephone number then,

當時所有的電話號碼都印在號碼簿里

so I can just look into the book and look his name up.

只要翻電話號碼簿，就能查到他的電話

And he answered the phone, and I saidHi, My name is Steve Jobs.

他接了電話，我說我叫Steve Jobs

You don't know me, but I'm 12 years old, and I'm building a frequency counter, and I'd like some spare parts.

你不認識我，我12歲，打算做頻率計數(shù)器，需要些零件

And so he talked to me for about 20 minutes,

我們聊了大概20分鐘

I will never forget as long as I live, he gave me the parts, but he also gave me a job working in Hewlett-Packard that summer.

我永遠記得他不但給了零件，還邀請我夏天去惠普打工

And I was 12 years old, and that really made a remarkable influence on me.

我才12歲，這件事對我產生了不可思議的影響

Hewlett-Packardwas really the only company I'd ever seen in my life at that age.

惠普是我見過的第一家公司

And it forms my view of what a company was and how well they treated their employees.

它讓我懂得了什么是公司，如何善待員工

You know, at that time, I mean they didn't know about cholesterol back then.

那時還沒有膽固醇偏高一說

And then at that time they used to bring a big car full of donuts and coffee out at 10 o'clock every morning,

每天上午十點公司拖來滿滿一卡車的甜面圈和咖啡

and everyone take a coffee and have a donut break, just little things like that.

大家停下工作喝杯咖啡，品嘗甜面圈

It was clear that the company recognized its true values was its employees.

很明顯惠普明白公司真正的價值在于員工
