口译实践：乔布斯与比尔盖茨最后一次同台对话 2007年，苹果创始人乔布斯与微软创始人比尔盖茨参与《华尔街日报》旗下数码科技网站主办的科技和媒体界的D5高峰会议，两人畅谈了微软与苹果的发展、彼此的看法还有世人眼中的种种误解。这是乔布斯与比尔盖茨最后一次的同台对话。5年过去了，就让我们来回顾一下这场经典的对话。 Host: The first question that I am kind of interested in asking what you think each has contributed to the computer and technology industry, starting with you, Steve, for Bill and vice versa. 主持人：第一个我挺感兴趣想问的是你们觉得彼此对计算机和科技行业的贡献分别是哪些乔布斯，你先来说说盖茨，然后再交换。 Jobs: I think the biggest thing was that Bill was really focused on software, before almost anybody else had a clue it was really the software. 乔布斯：最关键的一点是盖茨非常专注于软件而且是在大家都还搞不清什么是真正的软件时就开始了。 Host: Bill, how about the contribution of Steve and Apple? 主持人：盖茨，你说说乔布斯和苹果的贡献？ Bill: First, I want to?clarify?I am not fake Steve Jobs. 盖茨 ：首先我想澄清，我不是“假的乔布斯”（博客上的一个玩笑） Host: Actually I looked at an Apple ad from 1978 It was a print ad that shows you how ancient it was.

There was one that was in the kitchen. And there was a woman that looked like the wife, and she was typing the recipes on the computer, with her husband looking on approvingly on the back.Stuff like that… 乔布斯：那个时候我们确实有不少古怪的广告比如有一个广告取景在厨房有个看起来像是主妇的女人， 在用电脑输入菜谱，而他的老公在身后赞许地看着她.类似这样的... Host: Some people here, but I dont think most people know there was actually a Microsoft software on that Apple II Computer. Do you want to talk about what happened there? How that occurred? 主持人：这里有些人可能知道，不过我想大多数人都不知道苹果二代电脑里其实还装了微软的软件。你能说说这是怎么一回事吗？是怎么发生的？ Bill：The original Apple II BASIC, the integer BASIC,we had nothing to do with it. And then there was a floating-point one,where I mostly worked with Woz on that. 盖茨 ：最早的苹果二代用的是基于整数运算的Basic操作系统，我们完全没有参与。后来改版成支持浮点运算的那个（就有微软参与了），这个项目主要是我和沃兹尼亚克一起做的... Jobs: Let me tell the story. We are getting a lot of input that people want this BASIC to be floating point. Please! Please make this floating point. We are beggin
