《名人傳記》之喬布斯遺失的訪談38:錢不是最重要的

I learned APL, you know, obviously, is part of the reason why I'm going through life sideways.

我學(xué)了APL，很明顯它豐富了我的人生

Was it you look back and consider it, enriching experience that taught you to think in a different way, or not?

你有沒有覺得它教給你獨(dú)特的思考方式?

Err... No, not that particularly. Other language perhaps more so, I started with APL.

他語言也許更明顯些，我最先學(xué)的APL

So I mean, obviously, the Apple II was a terrific success, just incredibly so.And the company grew like topsy and eventually went public.

顯然Apple II很成功，公司飛速發(fā)展，成功上市

and you guys got really rich. What's it like to get rich?

你們都成了富翁，富有的感覺如何?

It's very interesting. I was worth, err, about over an million dollars when I was 23,

很有趣，我23歲擁有超過100萬美元的財(cái)產(chǎn)

and over 10 million dollars when I was 24, and over a hundred million dollars when I was 25.

24歲超過了一千萬，25歲超過了一億

And it wasn't that important, Because I never did it for the money.

但這不重要，我不是沖著錢去的

I think money is wonderful thing because it enables you to do things; it enables you to invest ideas that don't have a short term payback and things like that.

錢允許你做想做的事. 錢讓你實(shí)現(xiàn)那些短期內(nèi)看不到效益的創(chuàng)意

But especially at that point in my life, it was not the most important thing.

但錢不是最重要的

The most important thing was the company, the people, the products we were making, what we were going to enable people do with these products.

重要的是公司、人才、產(chǎn)品，是產(chǎn)品帶給客戶的價(jià)值

So I didn't think about it a great deal and I never sold any stock,

所以我不太看重金錢，我從不出售蘋果的股票

and just really believe the company would do very well over the long term.

我相信公司會發(fā)展得越來越好
