For a few more weeks Jobs and the board kept looking for a permanent CEO.
接下來幾個星期，喬布斯和董事會一直在尋找一位正式的CEO。
Various names surfaced -- George M. C. Fisher of Kodak, Sam Palmisano at IBM, Ed Zander at Sun Microsystems
有很多人選浮出水面--柯達(dá)的喬治·M·C·費(fèi)希爾的薩姆·帕爾米薩諾、Sun公司的埃德·贊德，
but most of the candidates were understandably reluctant to consider becoming CEO if Jobs was going to remain an active board member.
但是可以理解，如果喬布斯一直是個活躍的董事會成員，大多數(shù)人選都會對這份差事猶豫不決。
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Zander declined to be considered
據(jù)《舊金山紀(jì)事報》報道，贊德拒絕做候選人，
because he "didn't want Steve looking over his shoulder, second-guessing him on every decision."
因?yàn)樗安幌胱屖返俜蚩偸歉Q探他、質(zhì)疑他的每一個決定”。
At one point Jobs and Ellison pulled a prank on a clueless computer consultant who was campaigning for the job;
有一次，喬布斯和埃利森捉弄了一個應(yīng)聘該職位的愚蠢的計(jì)算機(jī)顧問；
they sent him an email saying that he had been selected,
他們給他發(fā)了一封郵件說他被選中了，
which caused both amusement and embarrassment when stories appeared in the papers that they were just toying with him.
后來這事登在報紙上，而他們只是在戲弄他，搞得既好笑又尷尬。
By December it had become clear that Jobs's iCEO status had evolved from interim to indefinite.
到12月，很明顯喬布斯的iCEO地位已經(jīng)從過渡性的轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)闊o限期的。
As Jobs continued to run the company, the board quietly deactivated its search.
隨著喬布斯繼續(xù)管理公司，董事會悄悄擱置了CEO的遴選。
"I went back to Apple and tried to hire a CEO, with the help of a recruiting agency, for almost four months," he recalled.
“我回到蘋果，在招聘機(jī)構(gòu)的幫助下，花了將近4個月的時間，想要聘請一位CEO。”他回憶說，
"But they didn't produce the right people.
“但是他們沒找到合適的人。
That's why I finally stayed. Apple was in no shape to attract anybody good."
所以我最終留了下來。蘋果當(dāng)時的糟糕狀況無法吸引任何人才加盟。”
