The idea of the digital hub quickly came into focus.
數字中樞的創意很快清晰起來。
"I first understood this with the camcorder," Jobs said.
喬布斯說：“我是通過攝像機才理解到這一點的。
"Using iMovie makes your camcorder ten times more valuable."
使用iMovie軟件能讓你的攝像機價值增加10倍。”
Instead of having hundreds of hours of raw footage you would never really sit through,
你不用再花幾百個小時坐在那里看原片，
you could edit it on your computer, make elegant dissolves, add music,
而是在你的計算機上進行編輯，制作漂亮的淡入淡出效果、添加背景音樂、
and roll credits, listing yourself as executive producer.
把你的名字加在片尾字幕中，也過一把當制片人的癮。
It allowed people to be creative, to express themselves, to make something emotional.
它激發了人們的創意，讓人們表達自己，制作出一些富有情感的作品。
"That's when it hit me that the personal computer was going to morph into something else."
“在那一刻，我覺得個人計算機正在演變成另一種東西。”
Jobs had another insight: If the computer served as the hub,
喬布斯還有一個想法：如果計算機成為一個中心，
it would allow the portable devices to become simpler.
還可以使便攜式設備變得更簡單。
A lot of the functions that the devices tried to do, such as editing the video or pictures, they did poorly
這些數字設備中的很多功能--比如編輯視頻或圖片--都不太好用，
because they had small screens and could not easily accommodate menus filled with lots of functions.
因為屏幕太小了，很不適合功能太多的菜單。
Computers could handle that more easily. And one more thing...
計算機就可以簡單地解決這些問題。
What Jobs also saw was that this worked best when everything the device, computer, software, applications, FireWire -- was all tightly integrated.
而且，還有一點，喬布斯還觀察到，如果將設備、計算機、軟件、應用程序、火線整合到一起，就能讓這些功能發揮得更好。
"I became even more of a believer in providing end-to-end solutions," he recalled.
他回憶道：“我更加相信，端到端的解決方案是正確的。”
