Laurene Powell
勞倫·鮑威爾
By this point, based on his dating history,
根據(jù)喬布斯的戀愛史，
a matchmaker could have put together a composite sketch of the woman who would be right for Jobs. Smart, yet unpretentious.
做紅娘的應該可以大概勾勒出適合喬布斯的女人了。聰明，而不自負。
Tough enough to stand up to him, yet Zen-like enough to rise above turmoil.
足夠剛強能承受跟他在一起的壓力，又足夠超脫能免于爭端。
Well-educated and independent, yet ready to make accommodations for him and a family. Down-to-earth, but with a touch of the ethereal.
受過良好教育，獨立，又愿意為他和家庭而作出改變。能適應現(xiàn)實，卻又帶著點兒超凡脫俗。
Savvy enough to know how to manage him, but secure enough to not always need to.
足夠世故知道怎么管理他，又有足夠的安全感不用總是管著他。
And it wouldn't hurt to be a beautiful, lanky blonde with an easygoing sense of humor who liked organic vegetarian food.
當然最好還是個漂亮苗條的金發(fā)美女，平易近人，有幽默感，喜歡有機素食。
In October 1989, after his split with Tina Redse, just such a woman walked into his life.
1989年10月，喬布斯跟蒂娜·萊德斯分手后，剛好有這樣一個女人走進了他的生活。
More specifically, just such a woman walked into his classroom.
更準確地說，是剛好有這樣一個女人走進了他的課堂。
Jobs had agreed to give one of the "View from the Top" lectures at the Stanford Business School one Thursday evening.
喬布斯同意在斯坦福商學院的“高屋建瓴”系列講座中講一場。那是個周四的晚上。
Laurene Powell was a new graduate student at the business school, and a guy in her class talked her into going to the lecture.
勞倫·鮑威爾是246商學院的新研究生，她班里的一個同學拉她去聽這個講座。
They arrived late and all the seats were taken, so they sat in the aisle.
他們到晚了，所有的位子都滿了，所以他們坐在過道上。
When an usher told them they had to move, Powell took her friend down to the front row and commandeered two of the reserved seats there.
后來有人過來說他們不能坐在那兒，鮑威爾就帶著她的朋友徑直走到第一排，坐在了兩個預留座位上。
Jobs was led to the one next to her when he arrived.
喬布斯到場后，被引導到她旁邊的座位。
"I looked to my right, and there was a beautiful girl there, so we started chatting while I was waiting to be introduced," Jobs recalled.
“我向右側(cè)一看，一個美女坐在那兒，在我等著被介紹時我們就聊了起來。”喬布斯回憶道。
They bantered a bit, and Laurene joked that she was sitting there because she had won a raffle,
他們調(diào)侃了幾句，勞倫開玩笑說她坐在那兒是因為她中了彩票，
and the prize was that he got to take her to dinner. "He was so adorable," she later said.
獎品是他帶她去吃晚飯。“他太可愛了。”她后來說。
