◎陳成良

Industry and investor concerns about the health of Apple Inc’s Chief Executive Steve Jobs have not dimmed more than a month after he appeared dramatically thinner at the firm’s annual developers’ conference, The New York Post said on Monday.

業界及投資人對蘋果公司執行長賈伯斯健康問題的關注，在他現身該公司年度開發者大會、身形狂瘦一個多月之後，仍絲毫不減，紐約郵報週一報導。

While blogs and industry watchers had wondered whether 53-year-old Jobs was suffering complications from, or a reappearance of, the pancreatic cancer cured by surgery nearly four years ago, Apple had said he was fighting a "common bug" and was taking antibiotics.

雖然部落格及產業觀察家好奇，53歲的賈伯斯近4年前靠手術治癒的胰臟癌，是否出現併發症或舊病復發，但蘋果已表示，他正對抗一種「常見毛病」，而且在服用抗生素。

Part of the reason for the concern over Jobs’ health is that Apple has no succession plan in place, the paper said.

外界關切賈伯斯健康問題，部分原因在於蘋果公司沒有安排接班計畫，該報說。

Hedge fund investors of Apple are very worried, a Wall Street source who has spoken with some of the company’s stakeholders told The Post.

蘋果公司的避險基金投資人非常憂心，一名曾與該公司數位重要關係人士晤談的華爾街消息人士告訴郵報說。

Multiple sources, who have met with Jobs in the weeks surrounding the introduction of the iPhone 3G on July 11, said they came away troubled by his thin appearance, the newspaper said on its website.

在iPhone 3G手機於7月11日推出前後幾週與賈伯斯會面的多名消息人士表示，他們會後離去時，都對他的外表消瘦感到憂心，該報在網站上說。
