3
Welcome to work here.
4
The first question I was interested in asking is what you think each has contributed to the computer and technology industry,
5
starting with you, Steve, for Bill and vice versa.
6
I think
7
that the biggest thing was Bill was really focused on software before almost anybody else had a clue
8
that it was really the software.
9
Bill, how about the contribution of Steve and Apple?
10
Well, first I want to clarify,
11
I'm not fake Steve Jobs.
12
I actually looked at an Apple ad from 1978.
13
It was a print ad that shows you how ancient it was.
14
And it said, thousands of people have discovered the Apple computer.
15
Thousands of people.
16
We had some very strange ads back then.
17
We had one where it was in a kitchen
18
and there was a woman that looked like the wife
19
and she was typing in recipes on the computer with the husband looking on approvingly in the back.
20
Stuff like that.
21
Most people, some people here,
22
but I don't think most people know that there was actually some Microsoft software in that Apple II computer.
23
Do you want to talk about what happened there or how that occurred?
24
The original Apple II basic,
25
the integer basic, we had nothing to to do with.
26
But then there was a floating point one where,
27
and I mostly worked with Woz on that.
28
I made it.
29
Let me tell this story.
30
And so we're getting a lot of input that people want this basic to be floating point.
31
And like, we're begging Woz,
32
please, please make this floating point.
33
Who's we?
34
How many people are in Apple?
35
Well, me.
36
We're begging Woz to make this floating point.
37
And he just never does it.
38
You know, and he wrote it by hand on paper.
39
And how much was the...
40
I think you were telling us earlier.
41
It was $31,000.
42
That Apple paid you for that.
43
For the floating point basic.
44
And I flew out to Apple.
45
I spent two days there getting the cassette tapes were the main ways that people stored things at the time.
46
And that was fun.
47
And so we were working together.
48
The schedules were uncertain.
49
The quality was uncertain.
50
The price.
51
When Steve first came up,
52
it was going to be a lot cheaper computer than it ended up being.
53
But that was fine.
54
So we made this bet that the parent time shift would be graphics interface,
55
in particular, that the Macintosh would make that happen,
56
with 128k of memory, 22k of which was for the screen buffer.
57
14k was for the operating system.
58
So it was.
59
14k.
60
Yeah, 14k.
61
And we were actually negotiating a deal to invest and make some commitments and things with Gil Emilio.
62
The next thing I knew,
63
Steve called me up and said,
64
don't worry about that negotiation with Gil Emilio.
65
You can just talk to me now.
66
And I said, wow.
67
How do you look at yourselves in this landscape today?
68
Because you are competitors in certain ways,
69
which is the American way, right?
70
We watch the commercials.
71
And you get annoyed at each other from time to time.
72
You know what?
73
I have to confess.
74
I like PC Guy better.
75
Yeah, he's great.
76
I like him.
77
The other guy I want to talk in the ..
78
The art of those commercials is not to be mean,
79
but it's actually for the guys to like each other.
80
Oh.
81
Thanks.
82
PC guy is great.
83
I like PC.
84
Not a big heart.
85
And in a few cases,
86
like the Zoom, if you go over to that group,
87
they think of Apple as a competitor.
88
They love the fact that Apple's created a gigantic market,
89
and they're going to try and come in and contribute something to that.
90
And we love them because they're all customers.
91
The same processor, essentially, that the Mac had.
92
This is one of those great ironies.
93
They were switching away from that processor while the Xbox 360 was adopting it.
94
But for good reasons, actually, in both cases.
95
We try and do things that way.
96
So that was the development system for the early people getting their software ready for the introduction of Xbox 360.
97
And we never ran an ad on that.
98
I see.
99
Admirable restraint.
100
That's wonderful.
101
There were hundreds of them.
102
Steve is so known for his restraint.
103
I assume you carry a tablet PC.
104
I don't know what brand it is.
105
Maybe you change them up.
106
I don't know.
107
You obviously carry a MacBook Pro,
108
I would guess, or a MacBook?
109
Yeah, well, and an iPhone.
110
And an iPhone.
111
You have one?
112
I do.
113
Right here?
114
Yes.
115
Well, he has when he took it out before.
116
Um, what, is the iPhone and are some of these other smartphones,
117
and I know you make,
118
you believe that the iPhone is much better than these other smartphones at the moment,
119
but is the, are these things,
120
aren't they really just computers in a different form factor?
121
You know, we're working on some things that I can't talk about,
122
but, again, yeah, but there used to be a saying,
123
isn't it, at Apple?
124
It's going to blow us away,
125
though, when you can't talk.
126
It's great.
127
There used to be a saying at Apple,
128
isn't it funny a ship that leaks from the top?
129
That's kind of like a sweater without sleeves is a vest.
130
I don't get that.
131
That was what they used to say about me when I was in my 20s.
132
I'm going to ask a more personal question.
133
We have just a minute before we're going to open up for questions.
134
What's the greatest, I'm not going to call this the Barbara Walters moment and ask you what tree you'd like to be.
135
She would love to be Barbara Walters,
136
let me just tell you.
137
No, I would not.
138
What's the greatest misunderstanding?
139
Ding.
140
Thank you, Steve.
141
About your relationship.
142
I mean, you're obviously going to go down in history books already set kind of thing.
143
But what's the greatest misunderstanding in your relationship and about each other?
144
What would you say would be this idea of cat fight,
145
this idea of which one of the many?
146
We've kept our marriage secret for over a decade now.
147
Canada.
148
That trip to Canada.
149
Was there...?
150
Generally, we were both the youngest guys in the room, right?
151
Individually or together.
152
I'm about six months older than he is,
153
but roughly the same age.
154
And now, when we're working at our respective companies,
155
I don't know about you,
156
but I'm the oldest guy in the room most of the time.
157
And that's why I love being here.
158
Happy to oblige.
159
Happy to oblige.
160
You know, I think of most things in life as either a Bob Dylan or a Beatles song.
161
But there's that one line in that one Beatles song,
162
you and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.
163
And that's clearly true here.
164
Well, you know what?
165
I think we should end it there.
166
Let's just end it there a little tear right here.
167
Thank you.
168
Thank you very much.

なぜこの動画で話す練習をするのか？
このインタビュー動画は、スティーブ・ジョブズとビル・ゲイツという、コンピュータとテクノロジー業界の重鎮の洞察を掘り下げる貴重な機会を提供します。英語スピーキング練習を通じて、彼らの意思疎通のスタイルや、業界に対する情熱を体感することができます。このような実際の会話に触れることで、あなたの語彙や反応速度が向上するとともに、特有の言い回しやイントネーションを学ぶことができます。YouTubeで英語学習をする際に、彼らの対話を模倣することは、自然な英語を身につけるための効果的な方法です。
文法と表現の文脈
動画内で見ることができるいくつかの重要な構文について分析します。まず、以下の点に注目してください：
- 現在形の使用: スティーブやビルが自身の職歴や貢献について話す際、現在形を多用しています。この時制は、事実を述べたり、現在の状況を強調したりするのに最も効果的です。
- 過去形の活用: 過去の出来事を振り返るシーンでは、過去形が使用され、聞き手に歴史的な背景を理解させます。特に、過去の経験や成功を共有する際に有効です。
- 直接話法: 彼らの会話の中には、他者の意見やリクエストを直接引用する部分があります。これにより、情報の信憑性が増し、会話にリアリティが加わります。
これらの表現を理解し、反復することで、あなたの英語スピーキングスキルが向上するでしょう。特に、shadowspeakのテクニックを用いて、言葉を声に出して練習するのが効果的です。
一般的な発音の罠
動画の中で、一部の言葉やフレーズが発音しづらいことがあります。以下にいくつかの例を挙げます：
- 「contribution」: 強調すべき音節（con-TRI-bution）を意識しましょう。特に母音の発音に注意が必要です。
- 「software」: この単語は、発音時に「ソフトウェア」と正確に言い切ることが求められます。音を滑らかに連結させることがカギです。
- 「Apple」: アメリカ英語と他の英語圏では発音が異なることがあるため、適切な発音をマスターすることが重要です。
これらの発音を練習する際、shadow speakの技法を取り入れて反復練習を行うことで、独特のアクセントを克服できます。また、YouTubeで英語学習をしながら、これらのワードを何度も発音することで、自然な流れるようなスピーチを身に付けることができるでしょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
