《名人傳記》之喬布斯遺失的訪談28:成了最要好的朋友

So anyway, since with HP and I started going up to their Palo Alto Research Labs every Tuesday night,

之后我每周二晚都去惠普的Palo Alto實(shí)驗(yàn)室

with a small group of people to meet some of the researchers and staffs.

與一些研究人員見面

And I saw the first desktop computer ever made which was the HP 1900.

我見到了第一臺臺式計(jì)算機(jī)HP 1900

It was that as big as a suitcase but it actually had a small Cathode Ray Tube(CRT) displayed in it.

大概有行李箱那么大，裝著小小的CRT顯示器

And it was completed self-contained. There was no wire going off behind the curtain somewhere, and I fell in love with it.

它是一臺可以獨(dú)立工作的一體機(jī)，我很喜歡

And you could program BASIC in APL.

它使用Basic或APL編程

And I would just, for hours, you know, get right up to HP and just hang around that machine and write programs for it.

我常常數(shù)小時(shí)地守著它編程

So that was the early days. And I met Steve Wozniak around that time too,

那是早些年，也差不多也是在那時(shí)我認(rèn)識了Steve Wozniak

maybe a little earlier, when I was about 14, 15 years old.

我大約十四五歲，可能還要小些

And we immediately hit it off, and he was the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did.

我倆很投緣，他是我遇到的第一個(gè)比我更懂電子知識的人

So I like him a lot and he was, uh, maybe 5 years older than I.

他大概比我大五歲，我很喜歡他

He gone off to college and got kicked out for pulling pranks.

他因?yàn)橹圃鞇鹤鲃”淮髮W(xué)開除

And he was living with his parents and going to the ends of the local junior college.

剛剛回到父母家，正在修大專的結(jié)業(yè)課程

so we became best friends and started doing projects together.

我們成了最要好的朋友，開始一起做項(xiàng)目

We read about the story in Esquire magazine about this guy named Captain Crunch,

我們在《Esquire》雜志上看到有個(gè)叫Captain Crunch的人

who could supposedly make free telephone calls, you heard about this I'm sure.

據(jù)說他有辦法打免費(fèi)電話，你肯定也聽說過
