 Jon Rubinstein, who was in charge of hardware, adapted the microprocessor 1 and guts 2 of the PowerMac G3, 负责硬件的部门主管乔恩·鲁宾斯坦,决定采用PowerMac G3的微处理器和内核,


Apple's high-end professional computer, for use in the proposed new machine. 这是苹果专业类专业版电脑,针对计划中的新机器使用。
It would have a hard drive and a tray for compact disks, 此外还安装了一个硬盘驱动器和一个光盘托盘,
but in a rather bold move, Jobs and Rubinstein decided 3 not to include the usual floppy 4 disk drive. 但是乔布斯和鲁宾斯坦作了一个大胆的决定--新机器不再配备普遍使用的软盘驱动器。
Jobs quoted the hockey star Wayne Gretzky's maxim 5, "Skate where the puck's going, not where it's been." 乔布斯引用了冰球明星韦恩·格雷茨基的名言:“要向着冰球运动的方向滑,而不是它现在的位置。”
He was a bit ahead of his time, but eventually most computers eliminated floppy disks. 在当时他这个做法非常前卫,但是最终大多数计算机都取消了软盘驱动器。
Ive and his top deputy, Danny Coster, began to sketch 6 out futuristic designs. 艾弗和他的第一助理丹尼·柯斯特开始计划这种未来主义的设计。
Jobs brusquely rejected the dozen foam 7 models they initially 8 produced, but Ive knew how to guide him gently. 乔布斯不客气地否决了他们最初设计的几十个模型,然而艾弗知道怎么去温和地引导他。
Ive agreed that none of them was quite right, but he pointed 9 out one that had promise. 艾弗认同所有的模型都不完美,但是他指出了其中一个有希望的。
It was curved, playful looking, and did not seem like an unmovable slab 10 rooted to the table. 曲线形的有趣外观,看上去也不像是一块钉在桌子上挪不走的板子。
"It has a sense that it's just arrived on your desktop 11 or it's just about to hop 12 off and go somewhere," he told Jobs. “它带着一种刚刚来到你桌上,又随时可能会飞到其他地方的感觉。”他这样告诉乔布斯。
