They talked for a few hours, and he recounted that, after he left Wisconsin,

he had drifted away from teaching and gotten into the restaurant business.

Jobs had asked Simpson not to mention him, so she didn't.
乔布斯之前告诉辛普森不要提起他,所以她只字未提。
But at one point her father casually remarked that he and her mother had had another baby, a boy, before she had been born.
但是她父亲不经意地提到,在她之前,他和她母亲还曾经有过一个男孩。
"What happened to him?" she asked. He replied, "We'll never see that baby again. That baby's gone."
“他怎么样了? ”她问。他答道:“我们再也没见过那个孩子。他不在了。”
