Almost every day when Jobs was healthy and in the office,
當(dāng)喬布斯身體狀況尚佳而且不外出時(shí)，幾乎每天，
he would have lunch with Ive and then wander by the studio in the afternoon.
他都會(huì)和艾弗一起吃午餐，然后去工作室看一看。
As he entered, he could survey the tables and see the products in the pipeline,
他一進(jìn)門(mén)，就會(huì)查看幾張桌子上那些正在設(shè)計(jì)的產(chǎn)品，
sense how they fit into Apple's strategy, and inspect with his fingertips the evolving design of each.
看看它們是否符合蘋(píng)果公司的發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略，并親手檢查每一個(gè)產(chǎn)品的演進(jìn)設(shè)計(jì)。
Usually it was just the two of them alone, while the other designers glanced up from their work but kept a respectful distance.
通常都是他們兩人單獨(dú)相處，其他設(shè)計(jì)師見(jiàn)到了也會(huì)和他們保持禮貌的距離。
If Jobs had a specific issue, he might call over the head of mechanical design or another of Ive's deputies.
如果喬布斯要處理具體的事情，他就會(huì)把負(fù)責(zé)機(jī)械設(shè)計(jì)的主管或者艾弗的助手叫過(guò)來(lái)。
If something excited him or sparked some thoughts about corporate strategy,
如果某些想法讓他感到興奮，擦出了有關(guān)企業(yè)戰(zhàn)略的思想火花，
he might ask the chief operating officer Tim Cook or the marketing head Phil Schiller to come over and join them.
他就會(huì)讓首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官蒂姆·庫(kù)克或者營(yíng)銷(xiāo)副總裁菲爾·席勒加入他們的討論。
Ive described the usual process:
按照艾弗的描述，這就是他們的工作常態(tài)：
This great room is the one place in the company where you can look around and see everything we have in the works.
在這間體大的屋子里，你可以看到所有我們正在研發(fā)的產(chǎn)品。
When Steve comes in, he will sit at one of these tables.
史蒂夫一進(jìn)來(lái)，就會(huì)坐在其中一張桌子前。
If we're working on a new iPhone, for example,
舉例來(lái)說(shuō)，假如我們正在設(shè)計(jì)一款新的iPhone，
he might grab a stool and start playing with different models and feeling them in his hands, remarking on which ones he likes best.
他就會(huì)搬個(gè)凳子坐在那兒，把玩桌上不同的模型，用手去感受它們，評(píng)價(jià)哪一個(gè)才是他最喜歡的。
Then he will graze by the other tables, just him and me, to see where all the other products are heading.
然后，我們?cè)僖黄鹑タ雌渌雷由系漠a(chǎn)品，看看那些產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)的情況。
