Seven Days in May
五月的關鍵七天
Thursday, May 23: At his regular Thursday meeting with his top lieutenants in the Macintosh division,
5月23日，周四：在麥金塔部門的髙層例會上，
Jobs told his inner circle about his plan to oust Sculley.
喬布斯向核心成員講述了自己推翻斯卡利的計劃，
He also confided in the corporate human resources director, Jay Elliot,
他還向公司人力資源總監杰伊·埃利奧特透露了這個計劃，
who told him bluntly that the proposed rebellion wouldn't work.
埃利奧特直言這個陰謀不會成功。
Elliot had talked to some board members and urged them to stand up for Jobs,
埃利奧特曾和一些董事會成員談過，力勸他們支持喬布斯，
but he discovered that most of the board was with Sculley, as were most members of Apple's senior staff.
但他發現大多數董事都站在斯卡利一邊，蘋果公司的大多數髙級職員也是一樣。
Yet Jobs barreled ahead.
但是喬布斯執意要將這個計劃進行到底。
He even revealed his plans to Gassee on a walk around the parking lot,
他甚至還在去停車場的路上將自己的計劃透露給了加西，
despite the fact that Gassee had come from Paris to take his job.
而加西來這里正是為了接替他的工作。
"I made the mistake of telling Gassee," Jobs wryly conceded years later.
“我把這事告訴了加西，這是個錯誤。”喬布斯多年后自我挖苦道。
That evening Apple's general counsel Al Eisenstat had a small barbecue at his home for Sculley, Gassee, and their wives.
當晚，蘋果的法律總顧問阿爾·艾森斯塔特在自己家為斯卡利夫婦和加西夫婦舉辦了一個小型的燒烤聚會。
When Gassee told Eisenstat what Jobs was plotting, he recommended that Gassee inform Sculley.
當加西告訴艾森斯塔特喬布斯的密謀時，艾森斯塔特建議他通知斯卡利。
"Steve was trying to raise a cabal and have a coup to get rid of John," Gassee recalled.
“史蒂夫正在策劃陰謀，想要發動政變除掉約翰，”
"In the den of Al Eisenstat's house, I put my index finger lightly on John's breastbone and said,
加西回憶說，“在阿爾·艾森斯塔特家，我用食指輕輕指著約翰的胸口，說，
'If you leave tomorrow for China, you could be ousted. Steve's plotting to get rid of you.'"
‘如果你明天出發去中國，就會被取代。史蒂夫正密謀除掉你。’”
