Lisa Moves In
麗薩住了進(jìn)來(lái)
In the middle of Lisa's eighth-grade year, her teachers called Jobs.
在麗薩八年級(jí)上到一半的時(shí)候，她的老師給喬布斯打電話。
There were serious problems, and it was probably best for her to move out of her mother's house.
有些問(wèn)題很嚴(yán)重，校方說(shuō)，可能的話，她最好從她媽媽家搬出來(lái)。
So Jobs went on a walk with Lisa, asked about the situation, and offered to let her move in with him.
喬布斯跟麗薩出去散步，詢問(wèn)了當(dāng)時(shí)的情況，請(qǐng)她搬來(lái)跟他住。
She was a mature girl, just turning fourteen, and she thought about it for two days. Then she said yes.
她已經(jīng)是個(gè)成熟的女孩了，剛滿14歲。她考慮了兩天，然后說(shuō)好。
She already knew which room she wanted: the one right next to her father's.
她已經(jīng)知道自己想住哪個(gè)房間了--緊挨著她爸爸臥室的那間。
When she was there once, with no one home, she had tested it out by lying down on the bare floor.
有一次她在那兒的時(shí)候，沒(méi)有人在家，她就躺在空蕩蕩的地板上找了找感覺(jué)。
It was a tough period. Chrisann Brennan would sometimes walk over from her own house a few blocks away and yell at them from the yard.
那是一段艱難的時(shí)光。克里斯安·布倫南有時(shí)會(huì)從幾個(gè)街區(qū)外的住處趕過(guò)來(lái)，站在院子里朝他們?nèi)氯隆?/div>
When I asked her recently about her behavior and the allegations that led to Lisa's moving out of her house,
當(dāng)我問(wèn)起她當(dāng)時(shí)的行為以及導(dǎo)致麗薩從她家搬走的原因時(shí)，
she said that she had still not been able to process in her own mind what occurred during that period.
她說(shuō)，她至今還是沒(méi)想清楚那段時(shí)間到底發(fā)生了什么事。
But then she wrote me a long email that she said would help explain the situation:
但是后來(lái)，她給我寫了一封很長(zhǎng)的郵件，說(shuō)有助于解釋當(dāng)時(shí)的情況。
Do you know how Steve was able to get the city of Woodside to allow him to tear his Woodside home down?
郵件中，她說(shuō)：你知道史蒂夫是如何讓伍德賽德市允許他拆掉他的那座房子的嗎？
There was a community of people who wanted to preserve his Woodside house due to its historical value,
鑒于那座房子的歷史價(jià)值，有一群人想保護(hù)它，
but Steve wanted to tear it down and build a home with an orchard.
但是史蒂夫想拆掉它，建一座有果園的家。
Steve let that house fall into so much disrepair and decay over a number of years that there was no way to save it.
多年來(lái)，史蒂夫?qū)δ亲孔又弥焕恚屗昃檬蓿灾劣跓o(wú)法修護(hù)。
The strategy he used to get what he wanted was to simply follow the line of least involvement and resistance.
他達(dá)到目的的手段，就是一直不參與，也不抵制。
So by his doing nothing on the house, and maybe even leaving the windows open for years, the house fell apart. Brilliant, no?
由于他對(duì)那座房子什么都不做，甚至很多年就讓窗戶洞開(kāi)，那房子就破敗了。很聰明，不是嗎？
In a similar way did Steve work to undermine my effectiveness and my well being at the time
他用了類似的方法破壞我的生活，
when Lisa was 13 and 14 to get her to move into his house.
在麗薩十三四歲的時(shí)候，達(dá)到讓麗薩搬去他家的目的。
He started with one strategy but then it moved to another easier one that was even more destructive to me and more problematic for Lisa.
他開(kāi)始時(shí)用了一種策略，然后又換成另一種更容易的卻對(duì)我更具破壞性、對(duì)麗薩更是問(wèn)題重重的策略。
It may not have been of the greatest integrity, but he got what he wanted.
這么做可能不是最正直的，但是他得到了他想要的。
