Thus they were destined to clash, especially after Jobs was ejected from the Lisa project in September 1980 and began casting around for someplace else to make his mark.
因此，他們兩人之間注定會有沖突，尤其是喬布斯在1980年9月被逐出麗薩項目后，他開始尋找其他能讓自己創造輝煌的地方。
It was inevitable that his gaze would fall on the Macintosh project.
不可避免地，他的目光落到了麥金塔項目上。
Raskin's manifestos about an inexpensive machine for the masses, with a simple graphic interface and clean design, stirred his soul.
拉斯金“為大眾制造一臺擁有簡單圖形界面和簡潔設計的廉價電腦”的宣言觸動了喬布斯的心靈。
And it was also inevitable that once Jobs set his sights on the Macintosh project, Raskin's days were numbered.
同樣不可避免的是，一旦喬布斯盯上了麥金塔項目，拉斯金的日子也就到頭兒了。
"Steve started acting on what he thought we should do, Jef started brooding, and it instantly was clear what the outcome would be," recalled Joanna Hoffman, a member of the Mac team.
“史蒂夫開始將他的想法灌輸給我們，杰夫陷入了苦悶的思考之中，會有怎樣的結果一目了然。”Mac團隊的成員喬安娜·霍夫曼回憶說。
The first conflict was over Raskin's devotion to the underpowered Motorola 6809 microprocessor.
第一次沖突是關于拉斯金鐘愛的低性能微處理器--摩托羅拉6809。
Once again it was a clash between Raskin's desire to keep the Mac's price under $1,000 and Jobs's determination to build an insanely great machine.
這又一次成為了拉斯金將Mac價格控制在1000美元以下的愿望與喬布斯建造一臺完美機器的決心之間的沖突。
So Jobs began pushing for the Mac to switch to the more powerful Motorola 68000, which is what the Lisa was using.
于是，喬布斯開始強烈要求Mac換上性能強勁的摩托羅拉68000，這也是當時麗薩使用的微處理器。
Just before Christmas 1980, he challenged Burrell Smith, without telling Raskin, to make a redesigned prototype that used the more powerful chip.
1980年圣誕節前，在沒有告知拉斯金的情況下，喬布斯給了伯勒爾·史密斯一個考驗戰：設計一臺使用摩托羅拉68000的樣機。
As his hero Wozniak would have done, Smith threw himself into the task around the clock, working nonstop for three weeks and employing all sorts of breathtaking programming leaps.
就像自己的偶像沃茲尼亞克一樣，史密斯不分晝夜地投入到了任務當中，工作了3個星期，在編程中運用了各種驚人的創舉。
When he succeeded, Jobs was able to force the switch to the Motorola 68000, and Raskin had to brood and recalculate the cost of the Mac.
在他成功之后，喬布斯如愿讓所有Mac換上了摩托羅拉68000，拉斯金只能郁悶地重新計算Mac的成本。
There was something larger at stake.
還有更大的麻煩等著拉斯金。
The cheaper microprocessor that Raskin wanted would not have been able to accommodate all of the gee-whiz graphics—windows, menus, mouse, and so on—that the team had seen on the Xerox PARC visits.
他想要的那款廉價微處理器無法完全駕馭那些酷炫的圖形--窗口、菜單、鼠標等他們在施樂PARC見過的東西。
Raskin had convinced everyone to go to Xerox PARC, and he liked the idea of a bitmapped display and windows,
當初正是拉斯金說服大家去參觀了施樂PARC，而且他本人也很喜歡位圖顯示和窗口的概念。
but he was not as charmed by all the cute graphics and icons, and he absolutely detested the idea of using a point- and-click mouse rather than the keyboard.
但是他并不迷戀那些漂亮的圖形和圖標，也很反感用鼠標取代鍵盤的想法。
"Some of the people on the project became enamored of the quest to do everything with the mouse," he later groused.
“項目里的一些人過于追求用鼠標完成所有操作了，”他后來埋怨說，
"Another example is the absurd application of icons.
“還有一個例子就是濫用圖標，
An icon is a symbol equally incomprehensible in all human languages. There's a reason why humans invented phonetic languages."
在所有的人類語言中，圖標都是一種很讓人費解的符號。人類發明表音文字是有原因的。”
