One day at a board meeting, Jobs started berating Smith and other top Pixar executives
有一次董事會會議上，喬布斯開始訓斥史密斯和皮克斯的其他髙管。
for the delay in getting the circuit boards completed for the new version of the Pixar Image Computer.
因為新版皮克斯圖像電腦的電路板遭遇延期，
At the time, NeXT was also very late in completing its own computer boards, and Smith pointed that out:
當時，NeXT電腦的電路板也推遲了很久。史密斯指出了這一點：
"Hey, you're even later with your NeXT boards, so quit jumping on us."
“嘿，你們的NeXT電路板更遲呢，所以別對我們大呼小叫了?！?/div>
Jobs went ballistic, or in Smith's phrase, "totally nonlinear."
喬布斯頓時大發雷霆，或者用史密斯的話來說“完全不可理喻”。
When Smith was feeling attacked or confrontational, he tended to lapse into his southwestern accent.
當史密斯覺得被攻擊或遭遇對抗時，會不由自主地冒出西南部口音。
Jobs started parodying it in his sarcastic style.
喬布斯于是挖苦著模仿史密斯。
"It was a bully tactic, and I exploded with everything I had," Smith recalled.
“這簡直就是欺負人，我完全爆發了?！笔访芩够貞浀?，
"Before I knew it, we were in each other's faces—about three inches apart—screaming at each other."
“我還沒反應過來，我們倆就已經面對面了，相隔只有3英寸，朝著對方大吼。”
Jobs was very possessive about control of the whiteboard during a meeting,
喬布斯對于會議中的白板極具控制欲，
so the burly Smith pushed past him and started writing on it.
于是魁梧的史密斯推開他，開始在白板上寫寫畫畫。
"You can't do that!" Jobs shouted.
“你不能這樣！ ”喬布斯大喊。
"What?" responded Smith, "I can't write on your whiteboard? Bullshit."
“什么？ ”史密斯回擊道，“我不能在你的白板上寫字？放狗屁！”
At that point Jobs stormed out.
聽到這話，喬布斯摔門而出。
Smith eventually resigned to form a new company to make software for digital drawing and image editing.
史密斯最終辭了職，成立了一家新公司，制作數字繪圖和圖像編輯軟件。
