1. Although the paradigm was called menu-based at the time, we refer to these menus as sequential and hierarchical to differentiate them from the menus in widespread use today.
尽管这种界面范例在那时称为“基于菜单”,而我们称这些菜单为“顺序层次关系菜单”,与今天流行的菜单区分开。

2. Those vendors stuck in the command-line world fell by the wayside in favor of the more modern paradigm.
那些坚持命令行的软件开发商最后不得不妥协,并支持更现代的界面范例。

3. The field of user-interface design progressed from a heavy focus on technology (implementation) to an equally heavy focus on metaphor. There is ample evidence of all three paradigms in contemporary software design, even though the metaphoric paradigm is the only one that has been named and described.
用户界面设计领域经历了从极度重视技术(实现)到同样重视隐喻的过程,虽然只有隐喻这种范例得到了命名和描述,但在当代软件设计中不乏这3类范例的事例。

4. In order to successfully use them, users must understand how the software works internally. Following the implementation-centric paradigm means user-interface design based exclusively on the implementation model.
为了成功地使用它们,用户必须理解软件内部的工作方式,实现为中心的范例意味着用户界面设计只基于实现模型。

5. Users aren’t interaction designers, and they cannot be expected to visualize the larger effects of interaction paradigm shifts.
用户不是交互设计师,你不能期望他们理解交互模式的改变所带来的影响。

6. In the current desktop metaphor used by most window systems, you can nest folder within folder ad infinitum. It’s no wonder most computer neophytes get confused when confronted with this paradigm.
在当前大多数窗口系统的桌面隐喻中,你可以无限制地在文件夹中嵌套文件夹,大多数计算机新手用户遇到这种范式时无疑会感到困惑。

7. Whereas a record in a database has a specific identity, and thus belongs in a table of objects of the same type, an e-mail message doesn’t fit this paradigm very well.
数据库中的每个记录有特定的标志,因此属于相同类型的对象表。 而电子邮件信息与此不同,不能很好地适应这种模式。

8. Because only one menu at a time could be placed on the screen and because software at that time was still heavily influenced by the batch style of mainframe computing, the hierarchical menu paradigm was sequential in behavior.
因为屏幕一次只能显示一个菜单,另外那时的软件仍然严重地受到大型机批处理风格的影响,所以层次关系菜单范例在行为上是顺序的。

9. Using this paradigm, we depend on the natural ability of humans to learn easily and quickly as long as we don’t force them to understand how and why.
使用这些范例,我们可以依靠人们天生的能力轻松快速地学习,只要不强迫用户理解它们如何工作和为什么这样工作。

10. Further, engineers like to know how things work, so the implementation-centric paradigm is very satisfying to them.
而且工程师希望了解程序的运行方式,所以他们对实现为中心的范例非常满意。
