Google: Open versus Closed

谷歌:开放与封闭

A few days after he unveiled the iPad in January 2010, Jobs held a "town hall" meeting with employees at Apple's campus.

2010年1月iPad发布后几天,乔布斯在苹果园区举行了员工大会。
Instead of exulting about their transformative new product, however,
然而,他并没有为这款变革性的新产品欢欣鼓舞,
he went into a rant against Google for producing the rival Android operating system.
反而开始痛斥谷歌开发了安卓操作系统。
Jobs was furious that Google had decided to compete with Apple in the phone business.
乔布斯对谷歌决定进入手机领域与苹果竞争十分愤怒。
"We did not enter the search business," he said. "They entered the phone business.
“我们没有涉足捜索领域,”他说。“他们却进入了手机业务。
Make no mistake. They want to kill the iPhone. We won't let them."
没错,他们想要终结iPhone,我们不会让他们得逞。”

谷歌 开放与封闭

A few minutes later, after the meeting moved on to another topic, Jobs returned to his tirade to attack Google's famous values slogan.

几分钟后,当会议进入到别的议题时,乔布斯又转回去长篇大论地攻击谷歌的著名价值观口号。
"I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing. This 'Don't be evil' mantra, it's bullshit."
“我想回到刚才的话题再说一件事。这个‘不作恶’的口号就是扯淡。”
Jobs felt personally betrayed.
乔布斯觉得自己遭到了背叛。
Google's CEO Eric Schmidt had been on the Apple board during the development of the iPhone and iPad,
在iPhone和iPad研发期间,谷歌公司CEO埃里克·施密特是苹果的董事会成员;
and Google's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, had treated him as a mentor. He felt ripped off.
谷歌公司的两位创始人拉里·佩奇和谢尔盖·布林视施密特为良师益友。乔布斯感到被利用了。
Android's touchscreen interface was adopting more and more of the features -- multi-touch, swiping, a grid of app icons -- that Apple had created.
安卓的触摸屏界面正在越来越多地采用苹果首创的功能--多点触摸、滑动操作、应用程序图标网格。
