You have a reputation for making well-designed products. Why aren’t more products made with the aesthetics of great design?
你因为设计精良的产品而广获赞誉，那么为什么更多的产品无法拥有同样的美感呢？
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works. The design of the Mac wasn’t what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it’s all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don’t take the time to do that.
设计是个好玩的词儿。大部分的人认为产品设计是关于产品的外貌和感觉，但是其实产品设计是关于产品的功能。Mac 的设计并非指它的样子，虽然这是它很重要的组成部分呢。更重要的，是它是如何运作的。真的想把一些产品设计好，你必须搞懂它，对它胸有成竹。只有基于巨大 热情的投入才能把一件事儿搞清楚，嚼个烂熟，而不是浅尝辄止。多数人并不投入于此。
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
创造力就是找到事物之间的联系。当你问有创意的人他们是怎么做到的，他们会觉得有点点负罪感，因为他们并非真的「做到了」，他们只是看到了一些联 系。有些事儿对他们就像是显而易见的。这是因为他们能把种种体验关联起来，并吐故纳新。他们能做到这点是因为他们有更多的体验，而且他们思考这些体验比其 他人更多。
Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.
很不幸的，这能力并不多见。行业里的多数人并没有多元的经历。所以他们没有太多的点去连接成线，所以遇到问题时，他们只能完成缺乏广度的线性方案。一个人越充分的理解人性的体验，设计的就越好。
