This turned Jobs around, and he said he wanted as much gorilla glass as Corning could make within six months.
喬布斯打消了疑慮，并希望康寧公司在6個月內(nèi)生產(chǎn)盡可能多的金剛玻璃。
"We don't have the capacity," Weeks replied. "None of our plants make the glass now."
威克斯回答說：“我們沒有這個能力，我們的工廠現(xiàn)在都不生產(chǎn)這種玻璃。”
"Don't be afraid," Jobs replied. This stunned Weeks, who was good-humored and confident but not used to Jobs's reality distortion field.
“別害怕。”喬布斯回答。這讓威克斯目瞪口呆，他雖然是個幽默自信的人，但還不習(xí)慣喬布斯的現(xiàn)實扭曲力場。
He tried to explain that a false sense of confidence would not overcome engineering challenges,
他努力向喬布斯解釋，不切實際的信心并不能克服這一工程難題，
but that was a premise that Jobs had repeatedly shown he didn't accept.
但是喬布斯一再拒絕接受他的說法。
He stared at Weeks unblinking. "Yes, you can do it," he said. "Get your mind around it. You can do it."
他目不轉(zhuǎn)睛地盯著威克斯說：“行的，你們能做到，動動腦子，你們能做到的。”
As Weeks retold this story, he shook his head in astonishment.

"We did it in under six months," he said. "We produced a glass that had never been made."
“我們在6個月內(nèi)做到了，”他說，“我們生產(chǎn)出了從未制造過的玻璃。”
Corning's facility in Harrisburg, Kentucky, which had been making LCD displays, was converted almost overnight to make gorilla glass full-time.
康寧公司在肯塔基州哈里斯堡有一家工廠，之前主要生產(chǎn)液晶顯示器，一夜之間改頭換面，開始全面生產(chǎn)金剛玻璃。
"We put our best scientists and engineers on it, and we just made it work."
“我們把自己最優(yōu)秀的科學(xué)家和工程師都用在這個項目上，我們成功了。”
In his airy office, Weeks has just one framed memento on display.
威克斯的辦公室很通風(fēng)，里面只擺放著一個紀念品。
It's a message Jobs sent the day the iPhone came out: "We couldn't have done it without you."
那是iPhone推出后喬布斯發(fā)來的信息：“如果沒有你，我們做不到。”
