  乔布斯传
  Part of the problem was that the rival titans were congenitally unable to be deferential 4 to each other.
  造成这种情况的部分原因在于,这两位彼此竞争的巨头无法做到互相恭敬。
  When Gates made his first visit to NeXT's Palo Alto headquarters, in the summer of 1987,
  1987年夏天,盖茨第一次造访NeXT公司位于帕洛奥图的总部,
  Jobs kept him waiting for a half hour in the lobby,

  even though Gates could see through the glass walls that Jobs was walking around having casual conversations.
  盖茨甚至透过玻璃墙看到了乔布斯只是在里面走来走去地闲谈。
  "I'd gone down to NeXT and I had the Odwalla, the most expensive carrot juice, and I'd never seen tech offices so lavish,"
  “我到NeXT,喝了最贵的奥德瓦拉牌胡萝卜汁,见识了如此豪华的科技企业办公室,”
  Gates recalled, shaking his head with just a hint of a smile.
  盖茨回忆道,带着一抹笑容摇了摇头,
  "And Steve comes a half hour late to the meeting."
  “我们的会面史蒂夫迟到了半个小时。”
