The problem Jobs faced was that running two companies was brutal.

乔布斯面临的问题是,同时管理两家公司是极其艰难的。
Looking back on it, he traced his health problems back to those days:
回想起来,他觉得自己的健康问题就是从那时候开始的:
It was rough, really rough, the worst time in my life. I had a young family. I had Pixar.
很艰苦,非常艰苦,那是我一生中最糟糕的一段时间。我的家庭生活刚刚开始。我还有皮克斯公司。
I would go to work at 7 a.m. and I'd get back at 9 at night, and the kids would be in bed.
我早上7点上班,晚上9点回家,孩子们都已经睡了。
And I couldn't speak, I literally couldn't, I was so exhausted. I couldn't speak to Laurene.
我不能说话,是真的不能,我精疲力竭。我无法跟劳伦说话。
