乔布斯的车为何没有车牌?
乔布斯有多在意产品包装?
乔布斯和女儿有怎样的故事?
Fact One:
Steve Jobs never put license plates on his silver Mercedes despite driving it constantly. California has a rule that a car owner has six months to put plats on a new car. Jobs just changed cars to the identical model every six months, allowing him to drive without plates.
乔布斯虽然一直在开一辆银色的奔驰车,但一直没挂车牌。加州有条法规,新车有六个月的时间挂车牌。乔布斯每六个月就换一辆相同款的车,这样就一直不用挂车牌了。
Fact Two:
Jobs had an entire team devoted to packaging who studies the experience of opening a box to learn how to achieve the excitement and emotional response what is now common with Apple products.
乔布斯手下有一个团队专门研究产品包装。他们会研究产品开箱后如何让消费者兴奋并产生情感回应,现在已广泛应用于苹果产品。
devote v.奉献于,致力于
devote oneself to something/somebody
She devoted herself to her career.
她致力于自己的事业。
Fact Three:
Jobs had an illegitimate child, Lisa Brennan, when he was 23, whose paternity he denied for years. Lisa’s mother had to use welfare checks to raise her child. Eventually, Jobs did accept Lisa as his legitimate child, and she changed her name to Lisa Brennan-Jobs.
乔布斯23岁时有个私生女Lisa Brennan,但他一直否认与女儿的关系。Lisa的生母被迫用低保福利来抚养女儿长大。最终,乔布斯承认了女儿的身份,女儿也改名为Lisa Brennan-Jobs。
