乔布斯英语名言：谈简化

阅读 :820

 “Look at the design of a lot of consumer products – they’re really complicated surfaces. We tried to make something much more holistic and simple. When you first start off trying to solve a problem, the first solutions you come up with are very complex, and most people stop there. But if you keep going, and live with the problem and peel more layers of the onion off, you can often times arrive at some very elegant and simple solutions. Most people just don’t put in the time or energy to get there. We believe that customers are smart, and want objects which are well thought through.”

「看看许多消费产品 – 它们有非常复杂的外表。我们试图做更全面且简单许多的东西。当你一开始试图解决一个问题时，你最先找到的解决方法是非常复杂的，而多数人停在那里。但如果你持续下去，与问题同住并多剥下几层洋葱外皮，你通常可以获得非常精致且简单的解决办法，多数人就是没有投入时间或精力到达那里。我们相信顾客是聪明的，且想要经仔细思考过后的东西。」

really (adv.) 是「非常」，在这句里修饰 complicated (adj.)。holistic (adj.) 是「全面性的，非部分的」，如：a holistic approach (一种全面性的方法)。come up with 是「得到」，如：This is what they came up with after a whole night of study. (这是他们研究一整晚后所得到的结果。) live with something 是「长期忍受某困难的事」，如：She has lived with her illness for over a year now. (她已忍耐病痛超过一年了。) arrive at 是「经长时间努力后得到的结果」，如：After much consideration, the board has arrived at a decision. (经许多考虑后，董事会做了一个决议。) elegant (adj.) 是「精致的，优美的」，如：an elegant wave of the hand (优雅的一挥手) think through 是「仔细思考」，如：We need more time to think through this. (我们需要更多时间来仔细思考这个。)
