Children
孩子们

When Powell gave birth in 1991, a few months after her wedding to Jobs,
1991年,在跟乔布斯的婚礼几个月后,鲍威尔生下了一个孩子。
their child was known for two weeks as "baby boy Jobs,"
头两个星期,这个孩子被称为“乔布斯小男孩”,
because settling on a name was proving only slightly less difficult than choosing a washing machine.
因为事实证明,决定孩子的名字只比选择洗衣机容易一点点。
Finally, they named him Reed Paul Jobs.
最后,他们给他起名为里德·保罗·乔布斯
His middle name was that of Jobs's father,
“保罗”是乔布斯父亲的名字,
and his first name (both Jobs and Powell insist) was chosen because it sounded good rather than because it was the name of Jobs's college.
而“里德”(乔布斯和鲍威尔都坚持说)是因为好听,而不是因为是乔布斯学校的名字。
Reed turned out to be like his father in many ways: incisive and smart, with intense eyes and a mesmerizing charm.
里德长大后在很多方面都像他父亲:聪明敏锐,目光锐利,富有魅力。
But unlike his father, he had sweet manners and a self-effacing grace.
但跟他父亲不同的是,他行为友善,谦虚优雅。
He was creative--as a kid he liked to dress in costume and stay in character--and also a great student, interested in science.
他富有创造力,从小就喜欢穿上戏服扮演角色。他也是个出众的学生,对科学很感兴趣。
He could replicate his father's stare, but he was demonstrably affectionate and seemed not to have an ounce of cruelty in his nature.
他的眼神像他父亲,但是他显然很有爱心,一点儿都没有他父亲天性里的残酷。
