The Beatles
披頭士
Among Jobs's prized CDs was a bootleg that contained a dozen or so taped sessions of the Beatles revising "Strawberry Fields Forever."
在喬布斯珍貴的CD收藏中，有一張是自制的專輯，里面是約翰·列儂和披頭士的《永遠的草莓地》，有十幾個版本。
It became the musical score to his philosophy of how to perfect a product.
它成為了印證喬布斯追求完美哲學的一組華彩樂章。
Andy Hertzfeld had found the CD and made a copy of it for Jobs in 1986,
安迪·赫茨菲爾德找到了這張CD，并在1986年復制了一張送給喬布斯，
though Jobs sometimes told folks that it had come from Yoko Ono.
但喬布斯有時會和同事們說這是小野洋子給他的。
Sitting in the living room of his Palo Alto home one day,
一天，我坐在喬布斯帕洛奧圖家中的客廳里，
Jobs rummaged around in some glass-enclosed bookcases to find it,
喬布斯在幾個帶有玻璃門的書架上翻騰了一通，把這張CD找了出來，
then put it on while describing what it had taught him:
然后播放給我聽，他還向我描述了這張CD帶給他的感悟：
It's a complex song, and it's fascinating to watch the creative process as they went back and forth and finally created it over a few months.
這是一首復雜的歌曲。最有趣的是看到整個創意的過程，他們反復地修改，直到幾個月后才創作出最滿意的作品。
Lennon was always my favorite Beatle.
列儂一直是我最喜歡的披頭士成員。
He laughs as Lennon stops during the first take and makes the band go back and revise a chord.
當我們聽到第一次錄制過程中列儂讓樂隊暫停，然后重新修改旋律時，喬布斯笑了。
Did you hear that little detour they took?
你聽到剛才他們繞了一小段嗎？
It didn't work, so they went back and started from where they were.
但是效果不好，所以他們回去從頭開始。
It's so raw in this version. It actually makes them sound like mere mortals.
這一版非常粗糙，聽起來也就是普通人的水準。
You could actually imagine other people doing this, up to this version.
你其實可以想象，普通人也可以這樣做，做到這個水平。
Maybe not writing and conceiving it, but certainly playing it. Yet they just didn't stop.
不是在寫詞或構思方面，而是演奏。但是他們沒有就此罷休。
They were such perfectionists they kept it going and going.
他們是那么追求完美、精益求精。
This made a big impression on me when I was in my thirties.
在我三十幾歲時，他們的這種精神給了我很大的影響。
You could just tell how much they worked at this.
你完全可以看到他們為此付出了多少。
