[转]兰迪.波许的最后讲座:真正实现你童年的梦想(中英文对照)14

We developed a bunch of things with the Fire Department of New York, a network simulator for training firefighters, using video game-ish type technology to teach people useful things. That's not bad. Companies did this strange thing. They put in writing, we promise to hire your students. I've got the EA and Activision ones here. I think there are now, how many, five? Drew knows I bet. So there are five written agreements. I don't know of any other school that has this kind of written agreement with any company. And so that's a real statement. And these are multiple year things, so they're agreeing to hire people for summer internships that we have not admitted yet. That's a pretty strong statement about the quality of the program. And Don, as I said, he's now, he's crazy. In a wonderful complimentary way. He's doing these things where I'm like, oh my god. He's not here tonight because he's in Singapore because there's going to be an ETC campus in Singapore. There's already on in Australia and there's going to be on in Korea. So this is becoming a global phenomenon. So I think this really speaks volumes about all the other universities. It's really true that Carnegie Mellon is the only university that can do this. We just have to do it all over the world now.

我们为纽约消防局做了一堆东西，训练的消防队员的网络模拟器，用视频游戏类的技术来教人们有用的事。干得不错。几家公司也开先例的提出书面承诺聘用我们的学生。我这里有艺电公司和视动公司的保证书。我想现在有，多少，五个？我肯定朱知道。所以有五个书面保证书。我不知道任何其他学校同任何公司有这样的书面协议。所以这是一个真正的声明。这些保证是多年有效的，所以，他们同意雇佣我们还没入取的学生做暑期实习生。这是对我们教学质量的一个很强力的声明。如我所说，唐，他现在啊，以一个美妙赞美的角度来说，疯了。他做的事情让我情不自禁的想，天哪。他今晚不在这里，因为他在新加坡，因为娱乐技术中心将出那里办一个分校园。澳大利亚已经有了一个，韩国也要有。因此，这正成为一个全球性的现象。所以，我觉得也很清楚的说明了其它大学（的水平）。真的是只有卡内基梅隆大学能做到这个。现在我们把这扩展到全世界。

One other big success about the ETC is teaching people about focus – oh I hear the nervous laughter from the students. I had forgotten the delayed shock therapy effect of these bar charts. When you're taking Building Virtual Worlds, every two weeks we get peer feedback. We put that all into a big spreadsheet and at the end of the semester, you had three teammates per project. Five projects, that's 15 data points, that's statistically valid. And you get a bar chart telling you on a ranking of how easy you are to work with, where you stacked up against your peers. Boy that's hard feedback to ignore. Some still managed. [laughter] But for the most part, people looked at that and went, wow, I've got to pick it up a notch. I better start thinking about what I'm saying to people in these meetings. And that is the best gift an educator can give is to get somebody to become self reflective.

娱乐技术中心的另一巨大成功是教人把握人生焦点 --哦，我听到有学生在紧张地笑，从。我忘记了那些条状图的迟发休克疗法效应。当你门上建设虚拟世界课时，我们每两周会得到组员的反馈。我们把数据放到一个大表格里，在学期末，你有五个课题，每个课题三个组员，这就是15个数据点，可以做有效统计。你会得到一个条状图表告诉你是否如何容易一起工作的排名，你和你的同侪相比如何。这样的硬反馈很难忽视。但还是有人做到了。 [笑] ，但大部份人看到这个都会说，哇，我要向上提升。我要开始思考在讨论会上对人说什么。一个教育工作者能给的最好的礼物就是让人能自我反省。

So the ETC was wonderful, but even the ETC and even as Don scales it around the globe, it's still very labor intensive, you know. It's not Tommy one-at-a-time. It's not a research group ten at a time. It's 50 or 100 at a time per campus times four campuses. But I wanted something infinitely scalable. Scalable to the point where millions or tens of millions of people could chase their dreams with something. And you know, I guess that kind of a goal really does make me the Mad Hatter.

所以娱乐技术中心非常成功，但即使唐在把它向全球扩展，它仍然是个劳力密集型项目。这不是汤米一对一，它不是 10 人一次的研究小组，它是每校区 50 或 100 人乘以 4 个校区。但我想要做的是能够无限扩展。能扩展到让百万，千万的人用它追逐自己的梦想。你知道，我猜那种目标让我变成了疯帽匠（爱丽斯梦游仙境人物）。

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......
