   These and other stories were incorporated into the mythologized story of Jobs that Perot told wherever he went.


  佩罗走到哪儿都会讲起这些关于乔布斯的传奇。
  At a briefing at the National Press Club in Washington,
  在华盛顿的国家记者俱乐部,
  he spun 1 Jobs's life story into a Texas-size yarn 2 about a young man so poor he couldn't afford to go to college,
  他把乔布斯的人生故事夸大成一部恢弘的年轻人历险记:他穷得上不起大学,
  working in his garage at night, playing with computer chips, which was his hobby,
  晚上在自己的车库里工作,摆弄电脑芯片,这是他的爱好。
  and his dad—who looks like a character out of a Norman Rockwell painting— comes in one day and said,
  他的爸爸就像诺曼·洛克威尔画中的人物,一天他走进来说:
  "Steve, either make something you can sell or go get a job."
  “史蒂夫,要么做些能卖的东西,要么就去找份工作。”
