Yo-Yo Ma
馬友友
There was one classical musician Jobs revered both as a person and as a performer:
有一位古典音樂家，喬布斯既尊敬他的為人，又欣賞他的藝術(shù)造詣，
Yo-Yo Ma, the versatile virtuoso who is as sweet and profound as the tones he creates on his cello.
這就是馬友友，一位多才多藝的藝術(shù)家，他的人就像他的大提琴曲一樣和藹而深邃。
They had met in 1981, when Jobs was at the Aspen Design Conference and Ma was at the Aspen Music Festival.

Jobs tended to be deeply moved by artists who displayed purity, and he became a fan.
喬布斯被馬友友追求“純粹”藝的精神深深打動(dòng)，并成為了他的樂迷。

"This is what I would have played for your wedding," he told them.

Jobs teared up and told him, "You playing is the best argument I've ever heard for the existence of God,
喬布斯淚流滿面，并告訴他：“你的演奏是我聽過的最棒的，有如上帝駕臨，
because I don't really believe a human alone can do this."

On a subsequent visit Ma allowed Jobs's daughter Erin to hold the cello while they sat around the kitchen.
在后來的一次拜訪中，他們圍坐在廚房里，馬友友讓喬布斯的女兒埃琳摸了摸他的大提琴。
By that time Jobs had been struck by cancer, and he made Ma promise to play at his funeral.
