In the seventies, it was punk music that drove the whole generation.

程式碼是下一個世界的共通語言。

情態副詞

七十年代，龐克族音樂引領整個世代，

software is the interface to our imagination and our world.

軟體是我們的幻想與世界的介面，

a radically, radically more diverse set of people

to not see computers as mechanical and lonely and boring and magic,

to see them as things that they can tinker

這些人不會把電腦看為機械式、  孤獨、無聊與神奇的，

My personal journey into the world of programming and technology

可以改進的、可以變好的等等。

我個人的程式設計與 科技世界的旅程，

I had this mad teenage crush on an older man,

and the older man in question just happened to be

我狂熱地迷上了一位年紀比我大的男士，

the then Vice President of the United States, Mr. Al Gore.

And I did what every single teenage girl would want to do.

那時的美國副總統艾爾．高爾先生。

I wanted to somehow express all of this love,

而我做了一件每一個青少女 都會想要做的事情，

so I built him a website, it's over here.

我要以某種方式表達我全部的愛慕，

所以我為他做了一個網站，就在這裡。

there was no Facebook, there was no Pinterest.

in order to express all of this longing and loving.

And that is how programming started for me.

It started as a means of self-expression.

Just like when I was smaller, I would use crayons and legos.

它開始是一種自我表達的手段，

And when I was older, I would use guitar lessons and theater plays.

就像我還小的時候， 我會用蠟筆和樂高積木來表達。

But then, there were other things to get excited about,

當我大些，我會利用 吉他課程及戲劇表演。

然後，還有其他令人興奮的事，

還有伯特蘭．羅素以及他的哲學。

who felt that computers are boring and technical and lonely.

覺得電腦是無聊的、 專業的和孤獨的人之一。

Little girls don't know that they are not supposed to like computers.

小女孩不知道她們被認為不該喜歡電腦。

They are really, really good at concentrating on things

and being exact and they ask amazing questions like,

她們非常非常擅於專注在事物上，

"What?" and "Why?" and "How?" and "What if?"

又很精準，而且她們會問一些奇妙問題，

And they don't know that they are not supposed to like computers.

像「是什麼？」「為什麼？」 「怎麼樣？」「如果？」

她們不知道她們被認為不該喜歡電腦。

like computer science is this esoteric, weird science discipline

電腦科學是一門難懂又詭異的學科，

That it's almost as far removed from everyday life

它幾乎就像離日常生活 遙不可及的核子物理學一樣。

There's a lot of syntax and controls and data structures

編寫程式中是有許多語法、 控制項、資料結構、

And we as a community, we've made computers smaller and smaller.

我們一起將電腦做得越來越小，

We've built layers and layers of abstraction on top of each other

to the point that we no longer have any idea how computers work

一直到我們不再了解 電腦是如何運作的

And we do teach our kids how the human body works,

我們有教孩子，人體是如何運作的，

we teach them how the combustion engine functions

我們教他們，內燃機是如何作用的，

and we even tell them that if you want to really be an astronaut

我們甚至告訴他們： 如果你真的要成為太空人，

Or, "How does the computer know what happens when I press 'play,'

或「當我按 “執行” 時， 電腦怎麼知道它要做什麼？

它怎麼知道要放映那部影片呢？」

或是：「琳達！ 網際網路是一個地方嗎？」

「它有神奇力量！」有些人會說。

「它太複雜了！」另一些人會說。

它既沒有神奇力量，也不複雜。

It all just happened really, really, really fast.

只是這一切發生得太快太快了！

Computer scientists built these amazing, beautiful machines,

電腦科學家製造了這些驚人美妙的機器，

but they made them very, very foreign to us,

但卻讓我們對它非常非常陌生。

and also the language we speak to the computers

也讓電腦對於我們溝通的語言也很陌生，

so that we don't know how to speak to the computers anymore

以致於如果沒有巧妙的使用者介面， 我們就不知道如何與電腦溝通了。

當我在做法文的不規則動詞變化時，

that when I was conjugating French irregular verbs,

事實上我是在做 ‘模式識別技巧’ 練習。

I was actually practicing my pattern recognition skills.

事實上我是在遵循一串符號指令，

I actually was following a sequence of symbolic commands

包括好幾個在裡面的重複指令。

伯特蘭．羅素終其一生的追求，

And that Bertrand Russell's lifelong quest

在英文與數學之間找一種精確的語言，

to find an exact language between English and mathematics

這追求就在電腦裡找到了歸宿。

我那時就是個程式設計師， 但沒有人知道。

The kids of today, they tap, swipe and pinch their way through the world.

除非我們給他們內含電腦的製造工具，

But unless we give them tools to build with computers,

否則我們只是在培育一群消費者， 而不是創造者。

we are raising only consumers instead of creators.

整個追求過程帶領我 遇到這個小女孩，

This whole quest led me to this little girl.

她膽子很大並且富想像力， 還有一點霸道。

She is completely fearless, imaginative and a little bit bossy.

And every time I would run into a problem

in trying to teach myself programming like,

例如：「物件導向設計是什麼？ 或是垃坄回收是什麼？」

"What is object-oriented design or what is garbage collection?",

我就會試著想像一個六歲小女孩 會如何解釋這問題。

I would try to imagine how a six-year-old little girl would explain the problem.

我寫了一本有關她的書，並畫了插圖，

And I wrote a book about her and I illustrated it

描述露比教我的事情就像這樣。

and the things Ruby taught me go like this.

Ruby taught me that you're not supposed to be afraid
