"In its design, color arrangement, and orientation, the logo is a study in contrasts," his booklet proclaimed.
“從設計、色彩搭配和定位來看，這個標識就是對比的杰作，”他的小冊子中寫道，
"Tipped at a jaunty angle, it brims with the informality, friendliness,
“傾斜角度活潑漂亮，它充滿了隨和、友善、
and spontaneity of a Christmas seal and the authority of a rubber stamp."
圣誕貼紙般的自然，以及椽皮圖章式的權威感。”
The word "next" was split into two lines to fill the square face of the cube, with only the "e" in lowercase.
“Next”這個詞被分成了兩行，填補了立方體的立面，只有“e”是小寫，
That letter stood out, Rand's booklet explained, to connote "education, excellence e = mc²."
從整個詞中脫穎而出，蘭德的小冊子將“e”解釋為“教育，卓越……e=mc²”
It was often hard to predict how Jobs would react to a presentation.
有時很難預測喬布斯對于某個東西的反應。
He could label it shitty or brilliant; one never knew which way he might go.
他可能會認為它很低劣，也可能覺得它很杰出，但你絕對猜不到他會是哪一種反應。
But with a legendary designer such as Rand, the chances were that Jobs would embrace the proposal.
但是面對蘭德這樣的傳奇設計師，喬布斯很有可能接受他的創意。
He stared at the final spread, looked up at Rand, and then hugged him.
喬布斯盯著最后一頁，抬頭看了看蘭德，擁抱了他。
They had one minor disagreement: Rand had used a dark yellow for the "e" in the logo,
不過，他們有一個小分歧：蘭德在字母“e”上使用了暗黃色，
and Jobs wanted him to change it to a brighter and more traditional yellow.
而喬布斯希望能改成更為明亮和傳統的黃色。
Rand banged his fist on the table and declared, "I've been doing this for fifty years, and I know what I'm doing." Jobs relented.
蘭德用拳頭猛擊桌子，說：“我做這行已經50年了，我知道自己在做什么。”喬布斯妥協了。
