At the January 2000 Macworld in San Francisco, Jobs rolled out the new Macintosh operating system, OSX,
2000年1月，在舊金山的Macworld大會上，喬布斯發布了新的操作系統Mac OSX，
which used some of the software that Apple had bought from NeXT three years earlier.
其中使用了蘋果公司3年前從NeXT購買的一些軟件。
It was fitting, and not entirely coincidental,
這是個恰當的時機，不完全是巧合，
that he was willing to incorporate himself back at Apple at the same moment as the NeXT OS was incorporated into Apple's.
就在NeXT的操作系統被合并進蘋果計算機時，喬布斯發覺自己也想“合并”回蘋果公司。
Avie Tevanian had taken the UNIX-related Mach kernel of the NeXT operating system and turned it into the Mac OS kernel, known as Darwin.
阿維·泰瓦尼安把NeXT操作系統中基于NIX的Mach內核轉換成了Mac OS內核--也被叫做“達爾文”。
It offered protected memory, advanced networking, and preemptive multitasking.
這種內核提供內存保護機制、升級的網絡功能，以及搶先式多任務處理功能。
It was precisely what the Macintosh needed, and it would be the foundation of the Mac OS henceforth.
這正是麥金塔需要的操作系統，而且也為后來的Mac OS系統奠定了基礎。
Some critics, including Bill Gates, noted that Apple ended up not adopting the entire NeXT operating system.
包括蓋茨在內的一些批評人士發現，蘋果并沒有完全采用NeXT的操作系統。
There's some truth to that, because Apple decided not to leap into a completely new system but instead to evolve the existing one.
事實的確如此，因為蘋果并不想直接推出一個與以往完全不同的新系統，而是想對現有的系統進行更新。
Application software written for the old Macintosh system was generally compatible with or easy to port to the new one,
老的麥金塔程序中的應用軟件都適用于或易于轉換到新系統中，
and a Mac user who upgraded would notice a lot of new features but not a whole new interface.
而蘋果機的用戶都會發現，升級后的系統多了很多新功能，而不僅僅是全新的界面。
The fans at Macworld received the news with enthusiasm, of course,
Macworld大會上的蘋果粉絲們對這一消息反應熱烈。
and they especially cheered when Jobs showed off the dock and how the icons in it could be magnified by passing the cursor over them.
當喬布斯在展示系統桌面時，鼠標滑過使圖標依次變大，大家爆發出陣陣歡呼。
But the biggest applause came for the announcement he reserved for his "Oh, and one more thing" coda.
但是，掌聲最熱烈的時刻是他每一次在結尾時的“保留節目”--“哦，還有一件事……”
He spoke about his duties at both Pixar and Apple, and said that he had become comfortable that the situation could work.
他談了關于他在皮克斯公司和蘋果公司的工作，并表示這種雙重身份是行得通的。
"So I am pleased to announce today that I'm going to drop the interim title," he said with a big smile.
“所以我今天很高興地宣布，我要摘掉‘臨時’這個帽子。”他微笑著說道。
The crowd jumped to its feet, screaming as if the Beatles had reunited.
人們激動地起立尖叫，就像是看到披頭士樂隊再聚首了一樣。
Jobs bit his lip, adjusted his wire rims, and put on a graceful show of humility.
喬布斯咬了咬嘴唇，調整了一下金絲鏡架，換上一副優雅而謙卑的面孔。
"You guys are making me feel funny now.
“你們讓我覺得有點兒不好意思了。
I get to come to work every day and work with the most talented people on the planet, at Apple and Pixar.
我每天都和世界上最聰明的人們一起工作，無論是在蘋果還是在皮克斯。
But these jobs are team sports. I accept your thanks on behalf of everybody at Apple."
但是這些成就是團隊合作的結果。我代表蘋果公司的每一個人，接受你們的感謝。”
