乔布斯传之节选37

Cinderella

from Chapter 37

By the beginning of 2008 it was clear to Jobs and his doctors that his cancer was spreading. When they had taken out his pancreatic tumors in 2004, he had the cancer genome partially sequenced. That helped his doctors determine which pathways were broken, and they were treating him with targeted therapies that they thought were most likely to work.

He was also being treated for pain, usually with morphine-based analgesics. One day in February 2008 when Powell’s close friend Kathryn Smith was staying with them in Palo Alto, she and Jobs took a walk. “He told me that when he feels really bad, he just concentrates on the pain, goes into the pain, and that seems to dissipate it,” she recalled. That wasn’t exactly true, however. When Jobs was in pain, he let everyone around him know it.

There was another health issue that became increasingly problematic, one that medical researchers didn’t focus on as rigorously as they did cancer or pain. He was having eating problems and losing weight. Partly this was because he had lost much of his pancreas, which produces the enzymes needed to digest protein and other nutrients. It was also because both the cancer and the morphine reduced his appetite. And then there was the psychological component, which the doctors barely knew how to address: Since his early teens, he had indulged his weird obsession with extremely restrictive diets and fasts.

His public return came on September 9, when he took the stage at the company’s regular fall music event. He got a standing ovation that lasted almost a minute, then he opened on an unusually personal note by mentioning that he was the recipient of a liver donation. “I wouldn’t be here without such generosity,” he said, “so I hope all of us can be as generous and elect to become organ donors.” After a moment of exultation—“I’m vertical, I’m back at Apple, and I’m loving every day of it”—he unveiled the new line of iPod Nanos, with video cameras, in nine different colors of anodized aluminum.

By the beginning of 2010 he had recovered most of his strength, and he threw himself back into work for what would be one of his, and Apple’s, most productive years. He had hit two consecutive home runs since launching Apple’s digital hub strategy: the iPod and the iPhone. Now he was going to swing for another.

在2008年初，乔布斯和他的医生们便清楚地知道他体内的癌细胞正在扩散。2004年，在取出了体内的胰腺肿瘤之后，乔布斯让医生们对部分癌症细胞基因组做了序列检测，这协助了他们找出是哪个地方出了问题。医生们选择了他们认为最有效的疗法，对乔布斯进行针对性治疗。通常，使用吗啡为基础的止痛剂，乔布斯的疼痛症状也得到治疗。2008年一月的一天，当鲍威尔的好友凯瑟琳.史密斯和他们一起待在帕洛阿尔托时，她和乔布斯曾一起散步。“他告诉我说，当他感到疼痛难熬时，他脑子里只有疼痛，而这似乎可以减轻它，”她回忆到。这不全为事实，然而，当乔布斯疼痛发作的时候，他让身边所有人都感受到了他的处境。 此外，乔布斯出现了进食问题，并且他的体重不断减轻。而且，这个问题变得越来越棘手，但医生们把更多的精力放在了治疗癌症和缓解疼痛上。乔布斯的大部分胰脏被切除是导致这个问题的部分原因，而胰脏是分泌用来消化蛋白质和其他营养消化酶的器官。癌症和吗啡也造成了这一问题的出现，他们使乔布斯失去胃口。然后就是心理上的因素了，自从青少年时代，乔布斯就沉迷并困扰于极其严格的节食和斋戒中，医生们几乎不知道要怎么解决这个问题。

九月九号，当他在苹果公司例行秋季音乐会登台演出后，乔布斯重新回到了公众的视野中。观众的欢迎持续了将近一分钟。然后，他一反寻常地谈到了自己的私人生活，提到他得到了肝脏捐赠。“如果不是捐赠者的慷慨，我现在不会站在这里，”他说道，“所以我希望我们所有人都能够如此慷慨，成为器官捐赠者”。“我仍然活着，我回到了苹果，我热爱着在这里的每一刻。”在一阵大笑之后，他发布了新款iPod Nanos。新款iPod Nanos带有摄像头，机身材料为镀层铝板，且有九种颜色可供选择。2010年初她的健康状况大幅好转。他重新回到了工作之中，这些工作属于苹果，也属于他。在启动了苹果数字中心计划后，乔布斯接连打出了两记全垒打：ipod和iphone的发布。现在，他又打算投身于另一个之中了。

在2008年初，乔布斯和他的主治医师们就已经很清楚的了解到他体内的癌细胞在扩散了。早在2004年，当医生们为他切除胰腺肿瘤的时候，乔布斯就已经让医生们对其体内的癌细胞染色体序列进行了检测，这有助于医生们判定是哪儿出了问题，并有助于医生们找出针对于乔布斯本人的最佳治疗方法、
    在乔布斯感到疼痛难忍时，通常是基于吗啡的止痛剂来应付的、在2008年2月的一天，在帕洛阿尔托，鲍威尔的好朋友史密斯 凯瑟琳和他们呆在一起的时候，她曾和乔布斯一起散步、“他曾告诉我，当他感觉很糟糕时，他总是集中精神于这种疼痛，这似乎有助于我去忘却它。”她追忆道、然而，这并不正确、当乔布斯感到疼痛难耐时，他总是让身边的每个人都了解到他的处境、
    除了以上的麻烦之外，这里又出现了一个日益显著的问题：乔布斯出现了严重的饮食问题，并且体重日以减轻、这使得医药工作者们不得不减少了花在治疗癌症和疼痛上的时间、他们发现，大部分胰腺的切除是出现这个问题的部分原因，因为胰腺是用来分泌消化蛋白质以及其他营养物质--酶的器官、此外，癌症和吗啡的使用也是造成这一问题的原因，它们减少了乔布斯的胃口、当然这里还有一些心理因素，当他还是青少年的时候，他就已经沉溺于约束性节食和速食中了、这曾一度使得医生们束手无措、
    他再次回归于公众的眼中是在9月9日参加的公司定期举行的秋季音乐会上、在得到了约一分钟的起立鼓掌后，他打开了一个特别的私人笔记本并提到他是一个肝脏器官的接受者、“如果不是那些慷慨的捐赠者，我想我是不会站在这里的”他说道，“所以我希望我们每个人都能成为一个慷慨的器官捐赠者”、在一阵欣喜过后，他说，“我还在，并且我又回归苹果了，我热爱在这里的每一天”，随后，他发布了新款的带有摄像头，有9种电镀铝颜色款式的iPod Nanos、
     在2010年初，他的身体状况恢复的差不多了，紧接着他便投入到了那既属于他，又属于苹果的战斗当中去了，这是硕果累累的一年，在成功的开启了苹果数字中心战略之后，他便打出了两张王牌：iPod和iPhone.而现在，他又投入到另一个当中去了、
