波士頓Macworld大會
The staff memo announcing the repricing of Apple's stock options was signed "Steve and the executive team,"
1997年8月員工收到了宣布蘋果股票期權重新定價的備忘錄，上面是這樣簽署的--“史蒂夫和管理層”。
and it soon became public that he was running all of the company's product review meetings.
很快，眾人皆知他在主持公司所有的產品評估會議。
These and other indications that Jobs was now deeply engaged at Apple helped push the stock up from about $13 to $20 during July.
再加上其他一些喬布斯在深度參與蘋果業務的跡象，7月份蘋果的股票價格就被從13美元推升到20美元。
It also created a frisson of excitement as the Apple faithful gathered for the August 1997 Macworld in Boston.
1997年8月，蘋果的忠實擁護者聚集在波士頓的Macworid大會，場面極其火暴。
More than five thousand showed up hours in advance to cram into the Castle convention hall of the Park Plaza hotel for Jobs's keynote speech.
超過5000人早來了好幾個小時，涌進公園廣場酒店的城堡會議廳，等待喬布斯的主題演講。
They came to see their returning hero—and to find out whether he was really ready to lead them again.
他們要親眼見證他們的英雄歸來--也要看看他是否真的準備好再次成為他們的引路人。
Huge cheers erupted when a picture of Jobs from 1984 was flashed on the overhead screen.
當喬布斯1984年的照片出現在頭頂的大屏幕上時，觀眾爆發出熱烈的歡呼。
"Steve! Steve! Steve!" the crowd started to chant, even as he was still being introduced.
“史蒂夫！史蒂夫！史蒂夫！”甚至主持人還在介紹他的時候，人們就開始呼喚。
When he finally strode onstage -- wearing a black vest, collarless white shirt, jeans, and an impish smile
當他最終跨上舞臺--穿著黑色背心，無領白襯衫，牛仔褲，帶著頑皮的微笑，
the screams and flashbulbs rivaled those for any rock star.
現場的尖叫聲和閃光燈堪比任何搖滾明星的出場。
At first he punctured the excitement by reminding them of where he officially worked.
他首先提醒了觀眾他的正式職務。
"I'm Steve Jobs, the chairman and CEO of Pixar," he introduced himself, flashing a slide onscreen with that title.
“我是史蒂夫·喬布斯，皮克斯的主席和CEO?！彼@樣自我介紹，大屏幕上還播放了一頁幻燈片予以展示說明。
Then he explained his role at Apple.
然后他解釋了自己在蘋果的角色。
"I, like a lot of other people, are pulling together to help Apple get healthy again."
“我和其他很多人一樣，在一起努力幫助蘋果健康起來?！?/div>
But as Jobs paced back and forth across the stage, changing the overhead slides with a clicker in his hand,
但當喬布斯在舞臺上走來走去，用手中的遙控器播放著頭頂屏幕上的幻燈片，
it was clear that he was now in charge at Apple -- and was likely to remain so.
顯而易見他現在掌管著蘋果大權--而且很可能會一直如此。
