Her tone of voice was urgent enough that he complied.

He went in early one morning, and after studying the scan,
他一大早就去了醫(yī)院，在研究過掃描結(jié)果后，
the doctors met with him to deliver the bad news that it was a tumor.
醫(yī)生們告訴了他一個壞消息，他的胰臟上有個腫瘤。
One of them even suggested that he should make sure his affairs were in order,
其中一位醫(yī)生甚至建議他盡快安排好后事，
a polite way of saying that he might have only months to live.
換言之，就是說喬布斯只有幾個月的壽命了。
That evening they performed a biopsy by sticking an endoscope down his throat and into his intestines
當(dāng)天晚上，醫(yī)生們將內(nèi)窺鏡從喬布斯喉嚨放入腸內(nèi)，
so they could put a needle into his pancreas and get a few cells from the tumor.

Powell remembers her husband's doctors tearing up with joy.
鮑威爾回憶說，醫(yī)生檢查完后高興得哭了。
It turned out to be an islet cell or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor,
因為那是胰島細(xì)胞或是胰腺神經(jīng)內(nèi)分泌腫瘤，
which is rare but slower growing and thus more likely to be treated successfully.
很少見，但生長較慢，因而更容易成功治愈。
He was lucky that it was detected so early -- as the by-product of a routine kidney screening
喬布斯很幸運，能及早發(fā)現(xiàn)這一腫瘤，這也算是定期腎臟檢查的意外發(fā)現(xiàn)，
and thus could be surgically removed before it had definitely spread.
這樣，醫(yī)生就能夠在腫瘤大面積擴散前進行手術(shù)切除。
One of his first calls was to Larry Brilliant, whom he first met at the ashram in India.

。“你還相信上帝嗎？”喬布斯問他。
Brilliant said that he did, and they discussed the many paths to God that had been taught by the Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba.
布里連特說相信，然后兩人開始討論印度大師尼姆·卡羅里·巴巴曾教給他們的通向上帝的幾條路徑。
Then Brilliant asked Jobs what was wrong. "I have cancer," Jobs replied.
布里連特詢問喬布斯有什么不妥，喬布斯回答說：“我得了癌癥。”
