The Lost Father
失散的父親
In the meantime, Mona Simpson had been trying to track down their father, who had wandered off when she was five.
當時，莫娜·辛普森一直在努力尋找他們的父親，他在她五歲的時候就離開了。
Through Ken Auletta and Nick Pileggi, prominent Manhattan writers,
通過曼哈頓兩位知名作家肯·奧萊塔和尼克·派勒吉，
she was introduced to a retired New York cop who had formed his own detective agency.
她結識了一位退休后開偵探所的前紐約警察。
"I paid him what little money I had," Simpson recalled, but the search was unsuccessful.
“我把當時僅有的一點兒錢都給他了。”辛普森回憶說，可是并沒有找到她父親。
Then she met another private eye in California,
后來她在加利福尼亞遇到另一位私家偵探，
who was able to find an address for Abdulfattah Jandali in Sacramento through a Department of Motor Vehicles search.
通過機動車管理局捜索到了阿卜杜勒法塔赫·錢德里在薩克拉門托的一個地址。
Simpson told her brother and flew out from New York to see the man who was apparently their father.
辛普森通知了哥哥，然后從紐約飛過去找他，顯然，那是她的父親。
Jobs had no interest in meeting him. "He didn't treat me well," he later explained.
喬布斯對見他絲毫不感興趣。“他沒有善待我，”他后來解釋，
"I don't hold anything against him--I'm happy to be alive.
“我并不是對他有意見——我很高興我活下來了。
But what bothers me most is that he didn't treat Mona well. He abandoned her."
最讓我不滿的是他對莫娜不好。他拋棄了她。”
Jobs himself had abandoned his own illegitimate daughter, Lisa, and now was trying to restore their relationship,
喬布斯自己也拋棄了私生女麗薩，當時還正在試圖恢復父女之間的關系，
but that complexity did not soften his feelings toward Jandali.
但這并沒有減輕他對錢德里的反感。
