  At first glance, he didn't like the cluster of sparse 1 thatched-roof bungalows 2 nestled on a beach on the big island of Hawaii. 第一眼看去,他并不喜欢那个地方--夏威夷大岛的海滩上散落着几栋茅草屋顶的小房子。
  It was a family resort, with communal 3 eating. 那是个家庭式度假村,所有人集体进餐。
  But within hours he had begun to view it as paradise. 但是没过几个小时,他就开始把那儿看成了天堂。
  There was a simplicity 4 and spare beauty that moved him, and he returned whenever he could. 那种简单和空灵的美打动了他,以后他总是尽可能地回来。
  He especially enjoyed being there that December with Powell. Their love had matured 他尤其享受12月跟鲍威尔一起在那儿度过的时光。他们的爱情终于瓜熟蒂落。
  The night before Christmas he again declared, even more formally, that he wanted to marry her. 圣诞节前夜,他再一次、更正式地宣布,他想跟她结婚。
  Soon another factor would drive that decision. 很快,另一个因素促成了这个决定。

  "We know exactly where it happened," Jobs later said with a laugh. “我们确切地知道那是在哪里怀上的。”乔布斯后来大笑着说。
