Jobs liked Mayer and occasionally had him over for dinner in Palo Alto.
喬布斯很喜歡梅爾，還偶爾請他在帕洛奧圖吃晚飯。
When he was twenty-seven, Mayer appeared at the January 2004 Macworld,
梅爾在27歲時參加了2004年1月的Mac world大會，
where Jobs introduced GarageBand, and he became a fixture at the event most years.
當時喬布斯介紹了Garage Band錄音軟件。
Jobs punched up Mayer' s hit "Gravity."
喬布斯點擊了梅爾最重謗的歌曲《地心引力》。
The lyrics are about a guy filled with love who inexplicably dreams of ways to throw it away:
歌詞是關于一個充滿愛的男人夢想著丟掉地心引力的方法：
"Gravity is working against me, And gravity wants to bring me down."
“地心引力正在和我作對；地心引力要讓我倒下。”
Jobs shook his head and commented, "I think he's a really good kid underneath, but he's just been out of control."
喬布斯搖著頭評價道：“我覺得他本質上是一個很好的孩子，他只是失控了。”
At the end of the listening session, I asked him a well-worn question: the Beatles or the Stones?
在聽歌環(huán)節(jié)的最后，我問了他一個早就被問濫了的問題：“如果披頭士和滾石樂隊二選一，你會選哪個？”
"If the vault was on fire and I could grab only one set of master tapes, I would grab the Beatles," he answered.
他回答：“如果地下室著火了，我只能救出一套碟片，我想我會拿披頭士的。
"The hard one would be between the Beatles and Dylan.
但是更難的選擇是在披頭士和迪倫之間。
Somebody else could have replicated the Stones. No one could have been Dylan or the Beatles."
有些人復制了滾石，但是沒有人能復制迪倫或披頭士。”
As he was ruminating about how fortunate we were to have all of them when we were growing up, his son, then eighteen, came in the room.
當他正在沉思我們是何等幸運、能在成長道路上聽到這么棒的音樂時，他18歲的兒子走進了房間。
"Reed doesn't understand," Jobs lamented.
喬布斯感嘆道：“里德是不會理解的。”
Or perhaps he did. He was wearing a Joan Baez T-shirt, with the words "Forever Young" on it.
又或許里德能理解一些。他正穿著印有瓊·貝茲的T恤衫，上面寫著“永遠年輕”。
