首座乔布斯铜像亮相匈牙利

　　全球首座乔布斯铜像21日在匈牙利首都布达佩斯亮相。这尊铜像是匈牙利著名建筑设计软件制造商Graphisoft为纪念乔布斯而打造的，铜像坐落在公司总部大楼附近。铜像由匈牙利雕塑家托特·艾尔诺创作，高约2米，重约220公斤，刻画了乔布斯边走边伸手说话时的神态。铜像下方摆放着一面电脑屏幕形状的铜板，上面刻着乔布斯的一句名言：“只有爱你所做的，你才能成就伟大的事情。”
　　Graphisoft公司成立于1982年，是三维建筑设计软件行业的领先者。公司与苹果公司之间的合作可追溯到上世纪八十年代。1984年，乔布斯在德国汉诺威博览会上首次见到这家建筑设计软件制造商设计的一款三维建筑设计软件，此后便开始为这款软件的开发和普及提供帮助。
　　A Hungarian software company unveiled what it said was the world's first bronze statue of Apple Inc co-founder Steve Jobs Wednesday, calling him one of the greatest personalities of the modern age.
　　Jobs died on October 5 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56.
　　The bronze work by sculptor Erno Toth stands in the Budapest campus of architectural software maker Graphisoft.
　　"He was one of the greatest (personalities) in our era, that's what we wanted to express with this sculpture here," Graphisoft Chairman Gabor Bojar told Reuters.
　　Bojar said Jobs gave cash and computers to Graphisoft, helping it to become a global leader in architecture software from humble roots as a tiny firm in the 1980s in then-communist Hungary.
　　"In some ways, Apple was a religion," Bojar said at the unveiling ceremony, comparing the experts from Cupertino-based Apple who helped educate Graphisoft's engineers to evangelists.
　　Steve Jobs represented a technological revolution which can be compared only to the discovery of writing, Bojar said.
　　"We have felt his spirit every day and now it is embodied," he said. "We hope that we can deserve with our entrepreneurial culture in Hungary what this sculpture expresses as a message."
