Woolard was able to coax Jobs to agree that his role as an advisor would be a very active one.
伍拉德成功地說服喬布斯同意，他擔任的這個“顧問”將是個很活躍的角色。
Jobs approved a statement saying that he had "agreed to step up my involvement with Apple for up to 90 days,
喬布斯批準了一個聲明，說他已經“同意在蘋果深入工作90天，
helping them until they hire a new CEO."
幫助他們，直到他們找到新的CEO”。
The clever formulation that Woolard used in his statement was that Jobs was coming back "as an advisor leading the team."
而伍拉德在這個聲明里用了個巧妙的說法，喬布斯回來“做一個統領團隊的顧問”。
Jobs took a small office next to the boardroom on the executive floor, conspicuously eschewing Amelio's big corner office.
喬布斯用了行政樓層董事會會議室旁邊的一間小辦公室，明顯地避開阿梅里奧在角落里的大辦公室。
He got involved in all aspects of the business:
他參與到公司業務的所有方面：
product design, where to cut, supplier negotiations, and advertising agency review.
產品設計，業務整合，供應商談判，以及廣告代理商評估。
He believed that he had to stop the hemorrhaging of top Apple employees, and to do so he wanted to reprice their stock options.
他還認為必須止住蘋果高層員工的流失，所以他決定，要給他們的股票期權重新定價。
Apple stock had dropped so low that the options had become worthless.
蘋果股票已經跌了太多，期權已經變得毫無意義。
Jobs wanted to lower the exercise price, so they would be valuable again.
喬布斯想降低行權價格，這樣期權就又有價值了。
At the time, that was legally permissible, but it was not considered good corporate practice.
當時這在法律上行得通，但是不被認為是良好的公司行為。
