再见, Randy Pausch 教授。

So Alice is a project that we worked on for a long long time. It’s a novel way to teach computer programming. Kids make movies and games. The head fake – again, we’re back to the head fakes. The best way to teach somebody something is to have them think they’re learning something else. I’ve done it my whole career. And the head fake here is that they’re learning to program but they just think they’re making movies and video games. This thing has already been downloaded well over a million times. There are eight textbooks that have been written about it. Ten percent of U.S. colleges are using it now. And it’s not the good stuff yet. The good stuff is coming in the next version.
爱丽丝软件是我们长期致力发展的一个项目。它是用一种新颖的方式来教计算机编程。孩子们喜欢做电影和游戏。障眼法-我们又回到障眼法来。教别人东西的最好方法是让他们认为他们在学其它的东西。我的整个职业生涯都在做这个。这里的障眼法是,他们在学习编程时却以为是在拍电影和视频游戏。这件软件已被下载超过 100万次。已经出了八本关于它的教科书。 10 %的美国院校正在使用它。但它还不够好,下一版会更好。

I, like Moses, get to see the promised land, but I won’t get to set foot in it. And that’s OK, because I can see it. And the vision is clear. Millions of kids having fun while learning something hard. That’s pretty cool. I can deal with that as a legacy. The next version’s going to come out in 2008. It’s going to be teaching the Java language if you want them to know they’re learning Java. Otherwise they’ll just think that they’re writing movie scripts. And we’re getting the characters from the bestselling PC video game in history, The Sims. And this is already working in the lab, so there’s no real technological risk. I don’t have time to thank and mention everybody in the Alice team, but I just want to say that Dennis Cosgrove is going to be building this, has been building this. He is the designer. This is his baby. And for those of you who are wondering, well, in some number of months who should I be emailing about the Alice project, where’s Wanda Dann? Oh, there you are. Stand up, let them all see you. Everybody say, Hi Wanda.
我,就像(先知)摩西,能看到上帝的应许之地,但却不能涉足。那也行,因为我可以看到它。远景是很清楚的。上百万年轻人一边玩,一边学习困难的功课。这很酷。我可以接受这个作为我的遗产。下一版要 2008年出来。如果你想让他们知道他们在学习什么的话,它将教Java计算机语言。否则,对他们来说只是创作电影剧本。而我们将加入最畅销的电 脑游戏,模拟人生,中的卡通人物。这在实验室中已经可以运行,所以没有真正的技术风险。我没有时间去感谢和提到在爱丽丝团队的每个人,但我只想说丹尼斯.科斯格罗夫将,已经在建造这个。他是设计师。这是他的孩子。对那些心存疑虑,不知在几个月后该给谁发关于爱丽丝项目的电子邮件的人,旺达.丹在那里 ?哦,你在这儿。请站起来,让他们都看到你。大家说,旺达好。

Audience(听众):
Hi, Wanda.
旺达好。

Randy Pausch:
Send her the email. And I’ll talk a little bit more about Caitlin Kelleher, but she’s graduated with her Ph.D., and she’s at Washington University, and she’s going to be taking this up a notch and going to middle schools with it. So, grand vision and to the extent that you can live on in something, I will live on in Alice.
给她发电子邮件。我要多将一点凯特琳.凯乐荷 ,但她博士毕业,现在华盛顿大学,她将把这个项目更进一步发展,带到中学去。所以,讲到大远景和你可以继续活在什么之中的话,我会活在爱丽丝中。
