Apple was now a real company, with a dozen employees, a line of credit, and the daily pressures that can come from customers and suppliers.
蘋(píng)果現(xiàn)在是一家真正的公司了，擁有一批員工，獲得了信貸額度，每天都要承受來(lái)自顧客和供應(yīng)商的壓力。
It had even moved out of the Jobses' garage, finally, into a rented office on Stevens Creek Boulevard in Cupertino, about a mile from where Jobs and Wozniak went to high school.
公司甚至最終搬出了喬布斯的車(chē)庫(kù)，進(jìn)駐了庫(kù)比蒂諾史蒂文斯溪大道上租來(lái)的辦公室--這里距離喬布斯和沃茲讀高中的地方僅僅一英里。
Jobs did not wear his growing responsibilities gracefully. He had always been temperamental and bratty.
喬布斯并沒(méi)有從容地承擔(dān)自己身上日益增加的責(zé)任。他一直都是喜怒無(wú)常，令人討厭的。
At Atari his behavior had caused him to be banished to the night shift, but at Apple that was not possible.
還在雅達(dá)利公司的時(shí)候，他的行為招致自己被趕出辦公室，只能上晚班，但在蘋(píng)果公司，這是不可能的。
"He became increasingly tyrannical and sharp in his criticism," according to Markkula.
"他變得越來(lái)越專橫，批評(píng)人的話也越來(lái)越尖銳，"馬庫(kù)拉說(shuō)，
"He would tell people, 'That design looks like shit.'"
"他會(huì)告訴別人：'那個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)看起來(lái)就是一坨狗屎。'"
He was particularly rough on Wozniak's young programmers, Randy Wigginton and Chris Espinosa.
他對(duì)待沃茲尼亞克手下的年輕程序員蘭迪·威金頓和克里斯·埃斯皮諾薩的方式尤為粗暴。
"Steve would come in, take a quick look at what I had done, and tell me it was shit without having any idea what it was or why I had done it," said Wigginton, who was just out of high school.
"史蒂夫會(huì)走進(jìn)來(lái)，很快地掃一眼我做的東西，然后告訴我那全是垃圾，他根本就不知道我做的是什么，也不知道我為什么要做那個(gè)。" 威金頓說(shuō)道，他當(dāng)時(shí)剛高中畢業(yè)。
There was also the issue of his hygiene.
喬布斯的個(gè)人衛(wèi)生問(wèn)題也依然存在。
He was still convinced, against all evidence, that his vegan diets meant that he didn't need to use a deodorant or take regular showers.
盡管各種證據(jù)擺在面前，但他還是堅(jiān)信，他的素食習(xí)慣意味著他不需要使用香體劑，也不需要經(jīng)常洗澡。
"We would have to literally put him out the door and tell him to go take a shower," said Markkula.
"我們把他請(qǐng)出門(mén)外，讓他去洗個(gè)澡，" 馬庫(kù)拉說(shuō)，
"At meetings we had to look at his dirty feet."
"開(kāi)會(huì)的時(shí)候還不得不看著他的臟腳。"
Sometimes, to relieve stress, he would soak his feet in the toilet, a practice that was not as soothing for his colleagues.
有時(shí)候，為了緩解壓力，喬布斯會(huì)把他的腳泡在馬桶里，讓同事們頗感不適。
Markkula was averse to confrontation, so he decided to bring in a president, Mike Scott, to keep a tighter rein on Jobs.
馬庫(kù)拉不愿意再面對(duì)這些問(wèn)題了，他決定聘請(qǐng)邁克·斯科特為公司的總裁，對(duì)喬布斯加以管束。
Markkula and Scott had joined Fairchild on the same day in 1967, had adjoining offices, and shared the same birthday, which they celebrated together each year.
馬庫(kù)拉和斯科特于1967年同一天加入仙童公司，兩人的辦公室相鄰，生日也是同一天，所以每年還一起慶祝生日。
At their birthday lunch in February 1977, when Scott was turning thirty-two, Markkula invited him to become Apple's new president.
1977年2月，斯科特即將32歲，在他們的生日午餐上，馬庫(kù)拉邀請(qǐng)他成為蘋(píng)果公司的新任總裁。
