Ellen Hancock, who had favored choosing Sun's Solaris over NeXT, was on the top of his bozo list,
曾經贊同蘋果選擇Sun公司Solaris系統而不是NeXT的埃倫·漢考克，在喬布斯的“笨蛋名單”上位列前茅，
especially when she continued to want to use the kernel of Solaris in the new Apple operating system.
尤其是她仍然想在蘋果的新操作系統中采用Solaris的核心技術。
In response to a reporter's question about the role Jobs would play in making that decision, she answered curtly, "None." She was wrong.
當一個記者問她在這一抉擇中喬布斯將扮演什么角色時，她草率地回答，“沒有角色。”她錯了。
Jobs's first move was to make sure that two of his friends from NeXT took over her duties.
喬布斯的第一步動作，就是確保用他從NeXT帶來的兩個朋友接替了她的職責。
To head software engineering, he tapped his buddy Avie Tevanian.
他指定他的好朋友阿維·泰瓦尼安負責軟件工程。
To run the hardware side, he called on Jon Rubinstein, who had done the same at NeXT back when it had a hardware division.
硬件方面，他找來了喬恩·魯賓斯坦，當年NeXT還有硬件部門時，魯賓斯坦擔任同樣的職務。
Rubinstein was vacationing on the Isle of Skye when Jobs called him.
當喬布斯直接給他打電話時，他正在英國的斯凱島度假。
"Apple needs some help," he said. "Do you want to come aboard?"
“蘋果需要幫助，”喬布斯說，“你想加入嗎？”
Rubinstein did. He got back in time to attend Macworld and see Amelio bomb onstage. Things were worse than he expected.
魯賓斯坦的確很想。他及時趕回來參加Macworld大會，也看到了阿梅里奧在臺上出丑。形勢比他預想的還糟。
He and Tevanian would exchange glances at meetings as if they had stumbled into an insane asylum,
他和泰瓦尼安常常在會議中交換眼神，感覺仿佛是誤入了精神病院，
with people making deluded assertions while Amelio sat at the end of the table in a seeming stupor.
大家都在說著瘋話，而阿梅里奧坐在桌子的盡頭，一副神志不清的樣子。
