　　从乔布斯的角度来看，自己是诚实的。

　　The five were not division managers or members of Sculley's top team.

　　这5位准备弃船的员工并非部门经理，也不是斯卡利髙层团队的成员。

　　They had all felt diminished, in fact, by the company's new organization.

　　事实上，他们都觉得公司的重组削弱了自己的杈力。

　　But from Sculley's perspective, these were important players;

　　但在斯卡利看来，这些都是重要的员工：

　　Page was an Apple Fellow, and Lewin was a key to the higher education market.

　　佩奇是苹果公司的资深员工，卢因是苹果在高等教育市场的关键人物。

　　In addition, they knew about the plans for Big Mac;

　　而且，他们知道大Mac计划，

　　even though it had been shelved, this was still proprietary¹ information.

　　虽然该计划已被束之髙阁，但是这仍然属于专右信息。

　　Nevertheless Sculley was sanguine².

　　不过，斯卡利看上去很乐观。

　　Instead of pushing the point, he asked Jobs to remain on the board.

　　他没有驳回这一提议，而是询问乔布斯是否会留在董事会。

　　Jobs replied that he would think about it.

　　乔布斯表示自己会考虑一下。

　　But when Sculley walked into his 7:30 staff meeting and told his top lieutenants³ who was leaving, there was an uproar⁴.

　　7点半，斯卡利走进会议室，吿诉自己的高级职员团队，公司里将有哪些人要离幵。会场一片哗然。

　　Most of them felt that Jobs had breached⁵ his duties as chairman and displayed stunning⁶ disloyalty to the company.

　　大多数人认为，乔布斯违反了董事长的职责，并且对公司表现出惊人的不忠。

　　"We should expose him for the fraud that he is so that people here stop regarding him as a messiah," Campbell shouted, according to Sculley.

　　据斯卡利回忆，坎贝尔当时大喊道：“我们应该曝光他的欺诈行为，这样苹果公司的人就不会继续把他当做救世主！”

　　Campbell admitted that, although he later became a great Jobs defender⁷ and supportive board member, he was ballistic that morning.

　　尽管坎贝尔后来成为了乔布斯真正的拥护者和董事会成员里的支持者，但他承认自己那天早上的确火药味儿十足。

　　"I was fucking furious, especially about him taking Dan'l Lewin," he recalled.

　　“我非常非常愤怒，尤其是他要带走丹·卢因，”坎贝尔说，

　　"Dan'l had built the relationships with the universities.

　　“卢因已经同高校建立了关系。

　　He was always muttering about how hard it was to work with Steve, and then he left."

　　他总在嘟囔和史蒂夫共事多么难，可现在却要走人。”
