　　《史蒂夫·喬布斯傳》雙語摘抄1：

After thirty years Gates would develop a grudging respect for Jobs. “He reAlly never knew much about technology, but he had an amazing instinct for what works,” he said. But Jobs never reciprocated by fully appreciating Gates’s real strengths. “Bill is basically unimaginative and has never invented anything, which is why I think he’s more comfortable now in philanthropy than technology,” Jobs said, unfairly. “He just shamelessly ripped off other people’s ideas.”

喬布斯沒有對蓋茨的商業成就表示過讚許，他曾經對艾薩克森說：“蓋茨基本上沒有什麼想像力，從來沒發明過什麼東西。正因爲如此，我覺得他更適合做慈善事業，而不是技術工作。他只能厚着臉皮照搬別人的產品創意”。

So he grew up not only with a sense of having once being abandoned, but also with a sense that he was special. In his own mind, that was more important in the formation of his personality.

中文版：所以在他長大的過程中，伴隨他的不僅僅是曾經被遺棄的感覺，還有一種自己不同於常人的感覺。在他心中，後者在他的個性形成中扮演的角色更爲重要。

Not surprisingly, he was sent home two or three times before he finished third grade. By then, however, his father had begun to treat him as special, and in his calm but firm manner he made it clear that he expected the school to do the same.

中文版：不出意料，喬布斯在讀完三年級之前被送回家兩三次。不過父親當時已經把他當作特殊的孩子來對待了，他以平靜但有力的態度向學校闡明，他希望學校也能這麼對待自己的孩子。

試譯版：不出所料，喬布斯小學三年級還沒讀完就已經被送回家兩三次。不過，那個時候，父親已經把他當作特殊的孩子來對待了。父親用平靜而堅定的口吻向學校明確表態，希望學校也能這麼對待自己的孩子。

　《史蒂夫·喬布斯傳》雙語摘抄4：

Daniel Kottke was not one of them. He had been Jobs’s soul mate in college, in India, at the All One Farm, and in the rental house they shared during the Chrisann Brennan crisis. He joined Apple when it was headquartered in Jobs’s garage, and he still worked there as an hourly employee. But he was not at a high enough level to be cut in on the stock options that were awarded before the IPO. “I totally trusted Steve, and I assumed he would take care of me like I’d taken care of him, so I didn’t push,” said Kottke. The official reason he wasn’t given stock options was that he was an hourly technician, not a salaried engineer, which was the cutoff level for options. Even so, he could have justifiably been given “founder’s stock,” but Jobs decided not to. “Steve is the opposite of loyal,” according to Andy Hertz-feld, an early Apple engineer who has nevertheless remained friends with him. “He’s anti-loyal. He has to abandon the people he is close to.”

丹尼爾·科特肯卻不是其中一員。他是喬布斯的多年摯友，從大學時代，到印度的精神之旅，到團結農場，再到出租房，陪他經歷初戀女友的懷孕風波。蘋果總部還在喬布斯家的車庫裏的最初創業時期，科特肯就加入了公司，他一直以時薪僱員的身份在蘋果公司工作。不過因爲他在公司的職位不高，所以無法獲得蘋果在首次公開募股(IPO)前爲員工提供的股票認購權。“我完全信任是史蒂夫，我以爲他會像我一直以來照顧他那樣照顧我，所以我沒有催他。”

科特肯這樣說。他並沒有獲得員工股票認購權，公司給出的官方理由是因爲他只是時薪技術員，並非領固定工資的全職工程師，這也是股票認購權的最低要求。但即使如此，他也理應獲得一些“創始人股權”。決定不給他股權的正是喬布斯。“史蒂夫的爲人可跟忠誠扯不上邊兒，”

蘋果的一位早期工程師安迪·赫茨菲爾德這樣說道，雖然他跟喬布斯一直保持着朋友關係，但是他還是很不客氣地這樣評價道：“他就是反忠誠的代表，他總是會拋棄身邊親密的人。”
