Around that time, Jobs's old friends Jon Rubinstein and Avie Tevanian,
那段時間里，喬布斯的老朋友喬納森·魯賓斯坦和阿維·泰瓦尼安，
the hardware and software lieutenants who had been recruited during the 1997 restoration, decided to leave.
他們分別是硬件和軟件方面的團隊管理者，1997年喬布斯回歸蘋果后重新聘用了他們，決定離開蘋果。
In Tevanian's case, he had made a lot of money and was ready to quit working.
泰瓦尼安已經賺了很多錢，準備退休。
"Avie is a brilliant guy and a nice guy, much more grounded than Ruby and doesn't carry the big ego," said Jobs.
“阿維是個出色的家伙，人很好，比魯比更踏實，不自大，”喬布斯說。
"It was a huge loss for us when Avie left. He's a one-of-a-kind person -- a genius."
“阿維的離開是蘋果公司的一個巨大損失，他獨一無二，是個天才?！?/div>
Rubinstein's case was a little more contentious.
魯賓斯坦的離職略有爭議。
He was upset by Cook's ascendency and frazzled after working for nine years under Jobs.
他對于庫克的晉升感到不滿，也因為他在喬布斯手下工作了9年，身心疲憊。
Their shouting matches became more frequent.
他們的爭吵越發頻繁。
There was also a substantive issue: Rubinstein was repeatedly clashing with Jony Ive,
還有一個實際問題：魯賓斯坦曾多次與喬尼·艾弗發生沖突，
who used to work for him and now reported directly to Jobs.
艾弗曾在魯賓斯坦手下工作，現在直接向喬布斯匯報。
Ive was always pushing the envelope with designs that dazzled but were difficult to engineer.
艾弗經常挑戰工程制造的極限，作出目眩神迷但難以實現的設計。
It was Rubinstein's job to get the hardware built in a practical way, so he often balked. He was by nature cautious.
魯賓斯坦天性謹慎，他的工作則是用一種可行的方式來組建硬件，于是他常常否決艾弗的設計。
"In the end, Ruby's from HP," said Jobs. "And he never delved deep, he wasn't aggressive."
“話說回來，魯比以前是在惠普工作，”喬布斯說道?！八麖膩聿粫钊胩骄?，他沒什么進取心?！?/p>
