但是當(dāng)他和魯賓斯坦見(jiàn)面時(shí)，話題很快就轉(zhuǎn)向了已經(jīng)上市3個(gè)月的iTunes。

Fadell was thrilled. "I was passionate about music.

But Fadell resisted; he liked his freedom. Rubinstein was furious at what he considered Fadell's whining.
但是法德?tīng)柡芸咕?，他喜歡自由的狀態(tài)。魯賓斯坦認(rèn)為法德?tīng)栐诎l(fā)牢騷，所以感到很憤怒。
"This is one of those life decisions," he told Fadell. "You'll never regret it."
他告訴法德?tīng)枺骸斑@是能改變你一生的決定，你永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)后悔的?！?/p>
