4、to .把某人/某事物比作這里我認(rèn)為作者想說是畢加索用11塊石版畫拼成一幅畫這種創(chuàng)作手法與蘋果制作手機等的方法類似，仔細(xì)看一下文章，liken后面的主語是11 lithographs，to 后面是the way，譯文很聰明地都表達到位了。Steven P.

Courses are not required, only recommended, but getting new employees to enroll is rarely a problem.斯蒂夫P喬布斯創(chuàng)立蘋果大學(xué)，是為了向員工灌輸蘋果公司企業(yè)文化，告訴他們蘋果公司的歷史，在公司壯大與技術(shù)業(yè)務(wù)變動的時候更是如此。課程不是必修，只是推薦，但新員工幾乎都會去上課。1.inculcate (instil)灌輸 ideas, beliefsto inculcate something in or into somebody向

6、某人灌輸某思想(teach)教導(dǎo) pupil, followersto inculcate somebody with something教導(dǎo)某人某事2.這里的as引導(dǎo)的是時間狀語從句，注意細(xì)節(jié)。3. rarely a problem其實是一個雙重否定的表達。Randy Nelson, who came from the animation studio Pixar, co-founded by Mr. Jobs, is one of the teachers of “Communicating at Apple.” This course，open to various levels of

9、but over the iterations, those details vanish. The last image is a curvy stick figure that is still unmistakably a bull.去年的課上，尼爾森展示了一個介紹公牛這組畫作的 PPT，里面包括了畢加索從 1945 年末開始，在大約一個月里畫的 11 幅公牛石版畫。早期的作品里，公牛還有口鼻、前腿和蹄子，但經(jīng)反復(fù)修改，這些細(xì)節(jié)就被除掉了。雖然最后一幅只是彎曲線條組成的形象，但毫無疑問還可以看出是一頭公牛?！癥ou go through more iterations until you
