Steve Jobs has passed on, but his legacy remains something that cannot fade. His influence at Apple will continue to be felt in the years to come, thanks largely to the fact that he personally oversaw plans for the next four years of products before his death.
斯蒂夫•乔布斯已经告别人世,但是他留下的传奇将永远被传颂下去。他对苹果公司未来几年仍会有着巨大影响,这得益于在他逝世之前,他个人对苹果公司未来4年的产品的高瞻远瞩。
The Daily Mail reports:
据《每日邮报》报道:
“He has also been overseeing the development of the delayed iCloud project, which will allow Apple users to store their music, photos and other documents remotely and masterminding updated versions of the iPod, iPad, iPhone and MacBooks, ensuring at least four years’ worth of products are in the pipeline, according to Apple sources.””他也已经关注到一直被拖延的iCloud项目的发展现状,据苹果的消息人士透露,这个项目可以让苹果用户远程进行储存音乐,照片和其他文件,以及后台推送iPod, iPad, iPhone 和 MacBooks的升级版本,确保至少4年通过这条产品线上的产品价值。”
Jobs was known for being heavily involved in every detail of Apple during his time as company CEO. He still remained involved in product decisions while on medical leave before his resignation. He even came back from medical leave to unveil the iPad 2 to the world last March.
众所周知,在乔布斯执掌苹果期间,他对苹果的每一个细节都一丝不苟。在他离职前的病休期间,仍参与苹果产品的决策。甚至在今年3月,正在病休的他还是回来亲自向全世界发布最新的iPad2。
Apple’s current executive team was reportedly handpicked by Jobs over the years. Current CEO Tim Cook worked closely with Jobs for 14 years before accepting the position of CEO after Jobs’ resignation in August of 2011.
据报道说,苹果目前的管理团队全是由乔布斯经过数年的时间亲手提拔任命的。当前的CEO Tim Cook曾与乔布斯紧密合作过14年,在今年8月乔布斯离职之后,Tim接掌了他的职位。
According to reports, Jobs closely oversaw development of the next generation iPhone even while the 4S was already in the pipeline for its October release. Other future products, like the next generation iPad and Mac models, have almost certainly been influenced directly by Jobs himself. Large companies like Apple are typically working on and testing new products years before a public announcement is made.
另据报道,乔布斯密切关切下一代iPhone的研发情况,而就在10月份iPhone 4S已经准备好发售。其他未来的产品,像下一代的iPad以及苹果笔记本,也会深受乔布斯本人的影响。这是因为像苹果这么大的公司,在向公众推出一款新产品之前,通常情况下会经过几年的研发和测试。
As a profitable company, Apple will continue to do well in the years to come. Jobs was a visionary, and the leadership he hired to lead Apple into the future shares his passion and vision.
作为一家吸金公司,苹果在未来的几年里将会延续辉煌。乔布斯是位极具远见的人,他所挑选的领导层将带领苹果公司在未来的几年里继续着他的激情与远见。
What cannot be replaced is Jobs himself. His notorious attention to detail, refusal to follow the status quo, secretive nature, and drive to create products that inspire will be missed greatly by Apple and Apple fans alike.
唯一不能替代的人只有乔布斯自己。他对产品细节的孜孜追求,不落沉疴旧制,极具神秘的个性,以及创造让世界为之振奋产品的欲望,都会永远铭记在苹果员工和苹果粉丝的心上。
