These days, he said, he thought more about getting older than about his birth.
他說，那段日子，他想的更多的是關于成長，而不是自己的身世。
That led him to play Joni Mitchell's greatest song, "Both Sides Now," with its lyrics about being older and wiser:
這時他選擇了瓊尼·米雪兒最著名的一首歌《正反兩面》，歌詞是關于成長和智慧：
"I've looked at life from both sides now,
“現在我看人生，看得到兩面。
From win and lose, and still somehow,
看到得與失，卻仍然迷惘。
It's life's illusions I recall,
那時以為的人生，也許是幻象。
I really don't know life at all."
人生啊，我真的不知道。”
As Glenn Gould had done with Bach's "Goldberg Variations," Mitchell had recorded "Both Sides Now" many years apart,
就像格倫·古爾德先后兩次錄制《戈登堡變奏曲》一樣，米雪兒也在很多年之后重新錄制了《正反兩面》，
first in 1969 and then in an excruciatingly haunting slow version in 2000.
在1969年的第一版之后，她又在2000年錄了一個哀傷婉轉的版本。
He played the latter. "It's interesting how people age," he noted.
他播放了第二版，并說道：“人們變老的過程真是有趣。”
Some people, he added, don't age well even when they are young. I asked who he had in mind.
他還補充道，有一些人并沒有隨著年齡的增長而更成熟。我問他想到了誰。
"John Mayer is one of the best guitar players who's ever lived, and I'm just afraid he's blowing it big time," Jobs replied.
他回答：“約翰·梅爾是世界上最棒的吉他演奏家之一，但是我覺得他揮霍了大把時間，他的生活失控了。”
