When coming up with the curriculum for Ruby's world,
當(dāng)我要設(shè)計一個介紹Ruby世界的課程時，
I needed to really ask the kids how they see the world
我想要真正問問孩子們，他們是如何看待這個世界的，
and what kind of questions they have and I would organize play testing sessions.
以及他們有什么樣問題，然后我會安排游戲測試環(huán)節(jié)。
I would start by showing the kids these four pictures.
剛開始，我向孩子們展示這四幅圖。
I would show them a picture of a car, a grocery store, a dog and a toilet.
我給他們看的畫上有輛車，有家雜貨鋪，一條狗和一個馬桶。
And I would ask, "Which one of these do you think is a computer?"
接著我問他們：“你們覺得這些東西中，哪樣是電腦？”
And the kids would be very conservative and go, "None of these is a computer.
孩子們會十分謹(jǐn)慎，說：“哈，這里面才沒有電腦呢。
I know what a computer is: it's that glowing box in front of which mom or dad spends way too much time."
我可知道電腦長啥樣哦！就是那個會發(fā)光的盒子，就是爸媽老花時間玩的那個東西。”
But then we would talk and we would discover that actually, a car is a computer, it has a navigation system inside of it.
之后，我們會討論，我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)，原來，車也是一臺電腦，它里面有導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)。
And a dog -- a dog might not be a computer, but it has a collar and the collar might have a computer inside of it.
還有狗，狗可能不是臺電腦，但他帶著個項圈，這個項圈里可能有電腦。
And grocery stores, they have so many different kinds of computers, like the cashier system and the burglar alarms.
雜貨店里，就更是有很多種電腦了，有收銀機，還有防盜器。
And kids, you know what? In Japan, toilets are computers and there's even hackers who hack them.
孩子們，你們知道嗎？在日本，馬桶也是電腦呢，甚至有黑客攻擊它呢。
And we go further and I give them these little stickers with an on/off button on them.
而后，更進一步，我給了他們一些貼紙，上面有開關(guān)按鈕。
And I tell the kids, "Today you have this magic ability to make anything in this room into a computer."
然后我告訴孩子們：“今天你們有魔力，能把房間里任何東西都變成電腦。”
And again, the kids go, "Sounds really hard, I don't know the right answer for this."
結(jié)果，孩子們又說，“聽起來好難的樣子，我不知道正確答案呀。”
But I tell them, "Don't worry, your parents don't know the right answer, either.
但我告訴他們：“別怕，你爸媽也不知道正確答案。
They've just started to hear about this thing called The Internet of Things.
他們才剛聽說這些東西，這個叫做網(wǎng)絡(luò)的玩意兒。
But you kids, you are going to be the ones who are really going to live up in a world where everything is a computer."
但你們這些孩子，你們會居住在這樣一個世界，周圍所有東西都是電腦。”
