00:00:00.089 --> 00:00:04.236
The world has lost a visionary, Douglas Engelbart.
這世界痛失了一位遠見人士，道格拉斯．恩格巴特，

2
00:00:04.241 --> 00:00:11.374
He died on Tuesday, and his name may not be familiar, but he laid the groundwork for the shape of modern computing.
他於週二辭世。大家對他的名字或許不熟悉，但他為現代電腦運算的模式奠定了基礎。

3
00:00:11.870 --> 00:00:15.716
Now, let me first remind you what computers were like back in the 1950s.
容我先提醒您早在一九五○年代時的電腦是什麼模樣。

4
00:00:15.728 --> 00:00:22.853
They were room-sized machines that often didn't have screens. Instead, they printed information out on cards.
那些機器如房間般大小，通常沒有螢幕，而是將資訊印在卡片上。

5
00:00:23.222 --> 00:00:25.708
But Douglas Engelbart, he had a different vision.
但是道格拉斯．恩格巴特有不同的眼界，

6
00:00:25.942 --> 00:00:30.039
He saw a future where computers displayed data on video screens instead.
他反而預見未來是電腦會將資料呈現在影像螢幕上。

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:38.484
And in 1968, he gave a demonstration so powerful and so influential that it was dubbed "the Mother of All Demos."
一九六八年他做了一次震撼力十足且深具影響力的展示，因而被稱作「所有展示之母」。

8
00:00:39.856 --> 00:00:44.456
I'm putting in an entity called a statement, and that's full of other entities called words.
我現在輸入一個叫做陳述的物件，這裡面有很多其他物件，叫做文字。

9
00:00:46.272 --> 00:00:49.124
And if I make some mistakes, I can back up a little bit.
如果我打錯了，我可以回去一點。

10
00:00:53.491 --> 00:00:58.473
So, I have a statement with some entities, words, and I can do some operations on these.
所以，我有一段陳述包含了一些物件、文字，我可以對這些字進行一些操作。

11
00:00:59.232 --> 00:01:02.509
I can copy a word. I can say that word might copy after itself --
我可以複製一個字，我可以假設這個字可以自行複製，

12
00:01:02.885 --> 00:01:07.406
in fact, the pair of words I'd like to copy after itself. And I can just do this a few times...
事實上，我想把一個詞組在後面複製一次，我可以這樣做好幾次……

13
00:01:09.242 --> 00:01:14.207
Now, editing a text document was just one of the many technologies seen in that demonstration.
編輯文字文件不過是在那段展示中看到的多項科技之一。

14
00:01:14.559 --> 00:01:22.791
And he also showed off hyperlinks and videoconferencing and multiple windows. And again, this is back in 1968.
他也展現了超連結、視訊會議以及多重視窗，再提醒您一次，當時可是從前一九六八年的時候。

15
00:01:23.202 --> 00:01:26.931
Now, perhaps his greatest legacy is this, the mouse.
或許他留給人們最大的貢獻就是這個，滑鼠。

16
00:01:27.290 --> 00:01:32.012
Engelbart invented an item that's been a basic part of how we use our computers for decades.
恩格巴特發明了一項物品，是我們數十年來使用電腦時所用的基本配備，

17
00:01:32.363 --> 00:01:35.083
And here is the original wooden prototype.
這是最早的木製滑鼠原型。

18
00:01:35.330 --> 00:01:37.148
But he didn't call it a mouse back then.
但他當時不叫它滑鼠。

19
00:01:37.309 --> 00:01:43.814
Now, his patent filing reveals the original name of the device, the quote, "X-Y Position Indicator."
從他的專利申請文件可看到這個裝置原本叫做「X-Y 定位顯示器」。

20
00:01:44.374 --> 00:01:47.275
And he received a $10,000 check for its invention.
他因這項發明得到了一萬美元的支票。

21
00:01:47.283 --> 00:01:52.141
So, next time you make that mouse click, just stop and think of the man behind it.
所以，下次當你點擊滑鼠時，稍停片刻想想那位在背後發明它的人。

22
00:01:52.621 --> 00:01:54.570
Douglas Engelbart was 88.
道格拉斯．恩格巴特享壽八十八歲。
