首座喬布斯銅像亮相匈牙利

全球首座喬布斯銅像21日在匈牙利首都布達佩斯亮相。這尊銅像是匈牙利著名建築設計軟件製造商Graphisoft爲紀念喬布斯而打造的，銅像坐落在公司總部大樓附近。銅像由匈牙利雕塑家托特·艾爾諾創作，高約2米，重約220公斤，刻畫了喬布斯邊走邊伸手說話時的神態。銅像下方擺放着一面電腦屏幕形狀的銅板，上面刻着喬布斯的一句名言：“只有愛你所做的，你才能成就偉大的事情。”

Graphisoft公司成立於1982年，是三維建築設計軟件行業的領先者。公司與蘋果公司之間的合作可追溯到上世紀八十年代。1984年，喬布斯在德國漢諾威博覽會上首次見到這家建築設計軟件製造商設計的一款三維建築設計軟件，此後便開始爲這款軟件的開發和普及提供幫助。

A Hungarian software company unveiled what it said was the world's first bronze statue of Apple Inc co-founder Steve Jobs Wednesday, calling him one of the greatest personalities of the modern age.

Jobs died on October 5 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56.

The bronze work by sculptor Erno Toth stands in the Budapest campus of architectural software maker Graphisoft.

"He was one of the greatest (personalities) in our era, that's what we wanted to express with this sculpture here," Graphisoft Chairman Gabor Bojar told Reuters.

Bojar said Jobs gave cash and computers to Graphisoft, helping it to become a global leader in architecture software from humble roots as a tiny firm in the 1980s in then-communist Hungary.

"In some ways, Apple was a religion," Bojar said at the unveiling ceremony, comparing the experts from Cupertino-based Apple who helped educate Graphisoft's engineers to evangelists.

Steve Jobs represented a technological revolution which can be compared only to the discovery of writing, Bojar said.

"We have felt his spirit every day and now it is embodied," he said. "We hope that we can deserve with our entrepreneurial culture in Hungary what this sculpture expresses as a message."
