"I happen to have a special guest with me today via satellite downlink," he said,

and suddenly Bill Gates's face appeared on the huge screen looming over Jobs and the auditorium.

There was a thin smile on Gates's face that flirted with being a smirk.

The scene was such a brutal echo of the 1984 Big Brother ad

that you half expected (and hoped?) that an athletic woman would suddenly come running down the aisle
你甚至?xí)A(yù)計(jì)（或希望）一個(gè)女運(yùn)動(dòng)員會(huì)突然從過(guò)道跑出來(lái)，
and vaporize the screenshot with a well-thrown hammer.
扔出錘子正中目標(biāo)，讓那畫(huà)面消失掉。
But it was all for real, and Gates, unaware of the jeering, began speaking on the satellite link from Microsoft headquarters.
但那的確不是廣告，對(duì)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的嘲諷毫不知情的蓋茨在位于西雅圖的微軟總部開(kāi)始連線講話。
"Some of the most exciting work that I've done in my career has been the work that I've done with Steve on the Macintosh,"
