They complained to Alcorn that he dressed and smelled like a bum and behavedrudely. “I said, ‘Did he solve the problem?’ And they said, ‘Yeah.’ I said, ‘If you got any more problems, you just call me, I got more guys just like him!’ They said, ‘No, no we’ll take care of it next time.’” For his part, Jobs was upset that the Germans kept trying to feed him meat and potatoes. “They don’t even have a word for vegetarian,” he complained (incorrectly) in a phone call to Alcorn.rudely[ru:dli]?adv. 无礼地, 粗鲁地, 粗陋地flummox[fl?m?ks]?v. 使混乱, 背诵出错vegetarian[?ved?it??ri?n]?n. 素食者 adj. 素食的incorrectly[?ink?rektli]?adv. 不正确地，错误地interference[?int?fi?r?ns]?n. 冲突,干涉 [计算机] 于涉Munich[mju:nik]?n. 慕尼黑[德国城市]behave[biheiv]?vt. vi. 举止,行为,举止端正bum[b?m]?n. 游荡者, 流浪汉, 懒鬼,闹饮,屁股 adj. 没有价值的, 不灵光的, 不合理的vt. 令人失望, 乞讨 vi. 混日子, 以乞讨为生He had a better time when he took the train to see the distributor in Turin, where the Italian pastas and his host’s camaraderie were more simpatico. “I had a wonderful couple of weeks in Turin, which is this charged-up industrial town,” he recalled. “The distributor took me every night to dinner at this place where there were only eight tables and no menu. You’d just tell them what you wanted, and they made it. One of the tables was on reserve for the chairman of Fiat. It was really super.” He next went to Lugano,Switzerland, where he stayed with Friedland’s uncle, and from there took a flight to India.camaraderie[kɑ:m?rɑ:d?ri:]?n. 同志之爱, 友情host[h?ust]?n. 军队,大量,主人,主持人,主机vt. 主持,做东 vi. 聚集chairman[t???m?n]?n. 主席, 会长simpatico[simpɑ:tik?u]?adj. 令人喜爱的，和霭可亲的distributor[distribjut?]?n. 经销商, 配电器Turin[tjurin]?n. 都灵(意大利城市)When he got off the plane in New Delhi, he felt waves of heat rising from the tarmac, even though it was only April.
