At the heart of the problem was a chasm between the people who loved technology and those who loved artistry.
問題的核心是熱愛科技的人和熱愛藝術的人之間的分歧。
Jobs loved both, as he had demonstrated at Pixar and Apple, and he was thus positioned to bridge the gap.
喬布斯兩個都愛，這一點在他為皮克斯公司和蘋果公司工作時都有所體現，因此他也為二者之間建立了橋梁。
He later explained: When I went to Pixar, I became aware of a great divide.
正如他后來所說的：當我去皮克斯公司工作時，我開始意識到這個巨大的分歧。
Tech companies don't understand creativity.
科技公司不懂創意，
They don't appreciate intuitive thinking,
他們也不欣賞依賴直覺的思維方式，
like the ability of an A&R guy at a music label to listen to a hundred artists and have a feel for which five might be successful.
比如唱片公司的A&R部門聽了100個人演唱之后就能感覺到哪5個人會成功。
And they think that creative people just sit around on couches all day and are undisciplined,
他們之所以認為創意人員只是整天窩在沙發里，自由散漫，
because they've not seen how driven and disciplined the creative folks at places like Pixar are.
是因為他們從來沒見過在皮克斯這樣的地方，創意人員是多么富有緊迫感和專業素養。
On the other hand, music companies are completely clueless about technology.
另一方面，音樂公司也對技術完全沒概念。
They think they can just go out and hire a few tech folks.
他們認為他們總能從外面雇到一些技術人員。
But that would be like Apple trying to hire people to produce music.
但是這就像蘋果公司去找人制作音樂一樣。
We'd get second-rate A&R people, just like the music companies ended up with second-rate tech people.
我們只能得到二流的A&R人員，就像音樂公司只能找到二流技術人員一樣。
I'm one of the few people who understands how producing technology requires intuition and creativity,
我屬于少數人，既懂得發明技術需要直覺和創造力，
and how producing something artistic takes real discipline.
也知道制作藝術作品需要接受真正的專業訓練。
