1985年Jobs大佬炒Apple的辞职信
This morning’ s papers carried suggestions that Apple is considering removing me as Chairman. I don’t know the source of these reports but they are both misleading to the public and unfair to me.
今天早晨的报纸暗示说，苹果公司正考虑免去我董事长一职。我不知道这类报道从哪里传出来的，但是这类消息不仅误导公众，而且对我也不公平。
You will recall that at last Thursday’s Board meeting I stated I had decided to start a new venture and I tendered my resignation as Chairman.
你一定还记得在上个星期四的董事会上，我宣布决定投资一家新公司，我提出辞去董事长一职。
The Board declined to accept my resignation and asked me to defer it for a week. I agreed to do so in light of the encouragement the Board offered with regard to the proposed new venture and the indications that Apple would invest in it. On Friday, after I told John Sculley who would be joining me, he confirmed Apple’s willingness to discuss areas of possible collaboration between Apple and my new venture.
董事会拒绝接受我的辞呈，请我再等一个星期。董事会对新组建的公司表示支持，而且也有投资的意向，受此鼓励我接受了董事会的建议。星期五，我把此事告知约翰·斯卡利，因为他要和我一起开公司，他向我确认，苹果公司愿意讨论与我的新公司之间可能合作的领域。
defer 推迟
in light of 鉴于，从……观点
indication 暗示
Subsequently the Company appears to be adopting a hostile posture toward me and the new venture. Accordingly, I must insist upon the immediate acceptance of my resignation. I would hope that in any public statement it feels it must issue, the company will make it clear that the decision to resign as Chairman was mine. I find myself both saddened and perplexed by the management’s conduct in this matter which seems to me contrary to Apple’s best interest. Those interests remain a matter of deep concern to me, both because of my past association with Apple and the substantial investment I retain in it.
后来，苹果公司好像对我和我的新公司充满了敌意，有鉴于此，我必须坚持要求公司立刻接受我的辞呈。我希望在公司认为必须做出的任何声明中，应清楚写明辞去董事长一职是我本人的决定。在我看来就这件事而言，公司管理层的行为有损苹果公司的最高利益，这使我觉得既伤心又困惑。公司的利益始终是我深深关注的问题，这既是因为我过去与苹果公司的关系，也是因为我在公司里有巨额的投资。
