  • 乔布斯传:第一章:惠普探索俱乐部(30)

    一个人都有自己小小的童年,然而,人们都是无法选择自己的出生,无法预知自己的童年。快乐或悲伤,似乎都是命中注定。苹果之父乔布斯又有怎样的童年呢? HINTS: Lang Hewlett-Packard Explorers Club light-emitting 9100A 【回顾】【乔布斯传】第一章:一个工具盒(29)» 乔布斯传听写节目: 点击订阅更方便。 如有任何疑问欢迎大家在评论区讨论, 也可以随时碎碎给我们@流年碎,@痞子李,@Just__Me有问必答。 Lang also got him into the Hewlett-Packard Explorers Club, a group of 15 or so students who met in the company cafeteria on Tuesday nights. "They would get an engineer from one of the labs to come and talk about what he was working on," Jobs recalled. "My dad would drive me there. I was in heaven. HP was a pioneer of light-emitting diodes. So we talked about what to do with them." Because his father now worked for a laser company, that topic particularly interested him. One night he cornered one of HP's laser engineers after a talk and got a tour of the holography lab. But the most lasting impression came from seeing the small computers the company was developing. "I saw my first desktop computer there. It was called the 9100A, and it was a glorified calculator but also really the first desktop computer. It was huge, maybe forty pounds, but it was a beauty of a thing. I fell in love with it." 朗还让乔布斯加入了惠普探索者俱乐部,这是一个每周一次的聚会,每周二晚在公司餐厅进行,有大概15个学生参加。“他们会从实验室里请来一个工程师,给我们讲讲他正在研究的东西,”乔布斯回忆,“我爸爸会开车送我去。我感觉那儿就是我的天堂。惠普当时是发光二极管的行业先锋,所以我们就会讨论发光二极管的一些问题。”因为当时父亲为一家激光公司工作,所以乔布斯对发光二极管特别感兴趣。有一天晚上,聚会结束之后,他拦住了惠普的一名激光工程师,获得了参观他们全息摄影实验室的机会。但让他印象深刻的还是见到了当时惠普正在开发的小型计算机。“我在那里第一次见到了台式计算机,它被成为9100A,是一台被神乔布斯和史蒂夫·乔布斯化了的计算器,但也确实是第一台台式计算机。它身形巨大,大概有40磅重,但它真的很美,我爱上了它。” 这篇材料你能听出多少?点击这里做听写,提高外语水平>>

    (文本为视频大致内容,可能与视频并非完全一致,欢迎大家贡献听写稿^^) Apple has denied accusations that it tracks users' locations through their iPhones. The tech giant was accused of logging the locations of its users and keeping an [w]unencrypted[/w] log of these locations for up to one year. The company said in a statement it is maintaining a database of Wi-Fi hotspots around users' current location. But some experts say Apple is clouding the issue, and that is not so far off from [w]logging[/w] locations. Apple says it's planning to release a software update that would allow users to opt-out of having this data saved to the phone. 声明:音视频均来自互联网链接,仅供学习使用。本网站自身不存储、控制、修改被链接的内容。"沪江英语"高度重视知识产权保护。当如发现本网站发布的信息包含有侵犯其著作权的链接内容时,请联系我们,我们将依法采取措施移除相关内容或屏蔽相关链接。

  • 《乔布斯传》翻译笔记:和IBM的荣誉之战

    重要? 【英语原文】 Throughout his career, Jobs liked to see himself as an enlightened rebel pitted against evil empires, a Jedi warrior or Buddhist [w]samurai[/w] fighting the forces of darkness. IBM was his perfect [w]foil[/w]. He cleverly cast the upcoming battle not as a mere business competition, but as a spiritual struggle. “If, for some reason, we make some giant mistakes and IBM wins, my personal feeling is that we are going to enter sort of a computer Dark Ages for about twenty years,” he told an interviewer. “Once IBM gains control of a market sector, they almost always stop innovation.” Even thirty years later, reflecting back on the competition, Jobs cast it as a holy [w]crusade[/w]: “IBM was essentially Microsoft at its worst. They were not a force for innovation; they were a force for evil. They were like ATT or Microsoft or Google is.”(Chapter 13 Building the Mac: Competition) 【沪江译文】 在乔布斯的整个职业生涯中,他把自己看作是开明进步的反叛者,以一己之力对抗邪恶帝国,一名与黑暗势力作斗争的绝地武士或是佛教武士。IBM之于乔布斯,简直是完美的陪衬。这场即将到来的战争对于乔布斯来说,不仅仅是一场商业竞争,还是精神的较量。“如果因为某些原因,我们犯下弥天大错而IBM赢了,那在我的内心里,我就觉得计算机行业将要进入长达20多年的黑暗时代。” 乔布斯在一次采访中这样表示。“一旦IBM控制了某个市场领域,他们总是会停止创新。” 即使是在30年后的如今,回想起当年的竞争,乔布斯还是把它定义为一场改革圣战:“IBM本质上就是最糟糕的微软公司,他们根本不是创新的力量;他们是邪恶的力量。IBM就像ATT(美国电话电报公司)、微软和谷歌一样。” 【翻译笔记】 1. cast...as...:把...看作、视为... 由于cast还有演员阵容的意思,所以cast as还可以表示扮演(角色),塑造(形象)等。cast 还表示投射、计算、浇铸等意思。一些比较常用的短语用法: cast  a vote 投票 cast doubt on 对...产生怀疑 cast aside as worthless 视如敝履 (cast aside:抛弃,废除) [en]But if there is no progress, then Mr Obama will be cast as starry-eyed and weak.[/en][cn]但是如果毫无进展,人们就会认为奥巴马总统太过于乐观并且软弱无能。[/cn] [en]Google cast its mobile-phone design as an experiment. Shareholders should hope it ends there.[/en][cn]谷歌将此次手机设计当作是一次试探,而股东应当希望谷歌就此罢手。[/cn] [en]As soon as he became rich he cast aside all his old friends who gave him some help.[/en][cn]他一富起来就抛弃了所有曾经给过他帮助的老朋友。[/cn] 2. reflect back:回想回顾,真实反映,衬托。reflect比较常用的意思:反射,反映,深思反省。reflect on/upon 仔细考虑。 [en]The election results do not always reflect back the views of voters.[/en][cn]选举的结果并不总是真实地反映出选民的观点。[/cn] [en]Another useful method for improving your reading is the ability to reflect on what is being presented.[/en][cn]另外一种改善阅读的有效方法就是思考呈现在你面前的材料。[/cn] 3. 绝地武士、黑暗时代和十字军东征: 绝地武士:Jedi warrior(Jedi Knight)美国著名导演乔治·卢卡斯拍摄的科幻系列电影《星球大战》(Star Wars)中的虚幻角色,拥有一种超自然的感应力量被称为原力(the Force),主要武器是光剑(lightsaber)。 绝地武士的使命是保卫和维护共和国和宇宙的安定。 黑暗时代:Dark Ages 指的是中世纪早期的西欧历史。随着罗马帝国的衰落(following the collapse of the Western Roman Empire),大部份的罗马文明遭到破坏,西欧进入一个所谓的黑暗时代。 十字军东征:The Crusades 指的是1096到1291年西欧的封建领主和骑士对地中海东岸伊斯兰教国家发动的一系列宗教性战争(a series of religious wars)。东征期间东征期间,罗马天主教会授予每一个战士十字架,组成的军队称为十字军。作为侵略战争的十字军东征也为西方的文艺复兴运动开辟了道路。 参与《乔布斯传》翻译笔记讨论,贴上你的翻译版本>>>
