As always, Jobs was compulsive in preparing for the dramatic unveiling.
一直以來，喬布斯都會絞盡腦汁準備掲幕時那戲劇性的一刻。
Having stopped one rehearsal because he was angry about the CD drive tray,
就在上次的預演因為CD托盤事件而中止之后，
he stretched out the other rehearsals to make sure the show would be stellar.
他又預演了好幾次，以確保在正式發(fā)布會上令人矚目。
He repeatedly went over the climactic moment when he would walk across the stage and proclaim, "Say hello to the new iMac."
他一次次地演練那個高潮時刻--他走到舞臺另一邊，掲開遮布，然后宣布：“向新的iMac問好吧。”
He wanted the lighting to be perfect so that the translucence of the new machine would be vivid.
他要求燈光恰到好處，把iMac的半透明效果襯托得栩栩如生。
But after a few run-throughs he was still unsatisfied,
但是在幾次預演之后，他仍然不滿意，
an echo of his obsession with stage lighting that Sculley had witnessed at the rehearsals for the original 1984 Macintosh launch.
這也讓人想起了1984年Mac電腦發(fā)布會預演時的那一幕，當時斯卡利目睹了他在舞臺燈光上的糾結。
He ordered the lights to be brighter and come on earlier, but that still didn't please him.
他要求把燈光再調亮一些，而且開得再提早一些，但是他始終不滿意。
So he jogged down the auditorium aisle and slouched into a center seat, draping his legs over the seat in front.
最后他走下舞臺，坐在觀眾席正中央的位子上，把兩條腿搭在前排的椅背上。
"Let's keep doing it till we get it right, okay?" he said.
“你們調吧，直到調好為止。”他說。
