It was an awkward tiff in what should have been a celebratory period.
這個口角使原本的慶祝場面頓時尷尬起來。
In the end, a complex solution was worked out that granted him ten million shares in January 2000 that were valued at the current price
最終，他們研究出一個復雜的解決方案，2000年1月，以現價授予喬布斯1000萬股股票，
but timed to vest as if granted in 1997, plus another grant due in 2001.
但是視同已在1997年授予；2001年他還將再獲得另一半期權。
Making matters worse, the stock fell with the burst of the Internet bubble.
糟糕的是，互聯網泡沫破裂之后股價下跌。
Jobs never exercised the options, and at the end of 2001 he asked that they be replaced by a new grant with a lower strike price.
喬布斯從未行使過這筆期權，到2001年底，喬布斯要求把期權的行權價格調低后再度授予。
The wrestling over options would come back to haunt the company.
這場期權之爭到后來還會困擾公司。
Even if he didn't profit from the options, at least he got to enjoy the airplane.
雖然沒有從期權當中獲利，但喬布斯對飛機還是非常滿意的。
Not surprisingly he fretted over how the interior would be designed. It took him more than a year.
不出所料，他為飛機內部的設計大費周章，前后共花了一年多的時間。
He used Ellison' s plane as a starting point and hired his designer.
他雇了一個設計師，從埃利森的飛機開始練手。
Pretty soon he was driving her crazy.
很快，設計師就被他逼瘋了。
For example, Ellison's had a door between cabins with an open button and a close button.
打個比方，在埃利森的飛機的機艙之間有一扇門，門上有按鈕分別控制開與關。
Jobs insisted that his have a single button that toggled.
喬布斯要求在他的飛機里，要換成二合一可以轉換的按鈕。
He didn't like the polished stainless steel of the buttons, so he had them replaced with brushed metal ones.
而且他還不喜歡按鈕那光滑的不鎊鋼材料，要把它們都換成拉絲金屬的。
But in the end he got the plane he wanted, and he loved it.
最終他得到了一架他心目中的飛機，他很喜歡它。
"I look at his airplane and mine, and everything he changed was better," said Ellison.
埃利森說：“我對比了一下我們倆的飛機，他的改裝確實更好。”
