過去簡單式

what should I get my mom for Mother's Day?

我要送他什麼當作母親節禮物呢?

using the Scratch software that I'd been developing

使用我開發的塗鴉軟體 Scratch 製作

with my research group at the MIT Media Lab?

我的研究小組在麻省理工大學 (MIT) 
媒體實驗室所研發的軟體

We developed it so that people could easily create

我們製作了這個軟體，使人們能夠輕鬆創作

their own interactive stories and games and animations,

他們自己的互動故事、遊戲或者是動畫

and then share their creations with one another.

So I thought, this would be an opportunity to use Scratch

使用這個塗鴉軟體 Scratch 
作一張互動賀卡給我媽媽

So over the last several years, kids around the world

ages 8 and up, have shared their projects,

8歲或更大的孩子們已經開始
透過這個網站分享他們的作品

and I thought, I wonder if, of those three million projects,

whether anyone else has thought to put up Mother's Day cards.

會不會有人想到要放上
他們作的母親節賀卡呢

and I was surprised and delighted to see a list

of dozens and dozens of Mother's Day cards

So I started taking a look at them. (Music)

所以我開始瀏覽這些作品（音樂）

and her mom and wishing her mom a happy Mother's Day.

和她的媽媽為主角的卡片，卡片中的
小貓祝媽媽母親節快樂

Another one was an interactive project where,

when you moved the mouse over the letters of "Happy Mom Day,"

當你把鼠標移動到這些"母親節快樂"的字母上面時

it reveals a special happy Mother's Day slogan.

它會出現一句特別的母親節祝詞

(Music) In this one, the creator told a narrative

(音樂) 而在這個作品裏，創作者講述了

她是如何用 Google (谷歌搜尋引擎) 來找出

(Typing) And then once she found out when Mother's Day was happening,

(打字聲) 而當她發現當天就是母親節時

she delivered a special Mother's Day greeting

她立即送出了一份特別的母親節祝福

So I really enjoyed looking at these projects

In fact, I liked it so much that, instead of making my own project,

事實上，由於太喜歡這些作品，
讓我打消了親手製作賀卡的念頭

I sent my mom links to about a dozen of these projects. (Laughter)

改為把十多個作品的連結發送給我媽媽
（笑聲）

And actually, she reacted exactly the way that I hoped that she would.

而實際上，她的反應就正如我希望的一樣

"I'm so proud to have a son that created the software

「我非常以有這樣的兒子為傲，
因為他能夠打造出一個軟體，使孩子們能夠

that allowed these kids to make Mother's Day cards for their mothers."

製作母親節賀卡送給他們的媽媽們。」

So my mom was happy, and that made me happy,

所以我媽媽很高興，這令我也很高興

but actually I was even happier for another reason.

但事實上我有一個更值得高興的理由

I was happy because these kids were using Scratch

我高興是因為這些孩子能夠按照我們當初設計 Scratch

just in the way that we had hoped that they would.

As they created their interactive Mother's Day cards,

當他們製作互動母親節賀卡的時候

I mean that they were able to start expressing themselves

我是指他們已經可以開始表達他們自己

it means you can write an entry in your journal

這意味著你可以在你的日誌上寫一個條目

or tell a joke to someone or write a letter to a friend.

告訴別人一個幽默的笑話
或者給朋友寫一封信

By writing, be creating these interactive Mother's Day cards,

書寫或創作這些互動的母親節賀卡時

these kids were showing that they were really fluent

他們有多熟練於這些新科技的使用

Now maybe you won't be so surprised by this,

你或許對這件事情並不感到驚訝

young people today can do all sorts of things with technology.

現代的年輕人熟於使用科技
做各式各樣的事情

I mean, all of us have heard young people referred to as "digital natives."

我的意思是，我們都聽過年輕人被稱為
「數碼時代的原住民」

But actually I'm sort of skeptical about this term.

某種程度上
我認為這個用詞是有點問題的

I'm not so sure we should be thinking of young people as digital natives.

我不太肯定我們應該把年輕人看作
數碼時代的原住民

When you really look at it, how is it that young people

當你真的看看這個問題，年輕人是怎樣

spend most of their time using new technologies?

You often see them in situations like this,

are very comfortable and familiar browsing

So young people today have lots of experience

今天的年輕人有許多與新科技互動的經驗

and lots of familiarity with interacting with new technologies,

but a lot less so of creating with new technologies

但使用新科技來創作的人就少得多了

and expressing themselves with new technologies.

也不擅長透過新科技來表達自己的想法

這就好像在新科技的領域上，
他們雖然懂得閱讀

And I'm really interested in seeing, how can we help young people become fluent

我真的對於怎樣能夠令年輕人對科技更熟練

使他們能夠使用新科技創作
很感興趣

And that really means that they need to be able to

write their own computer programs, or code.

So, increasingly, people are starting to recognize

很有趣的是人們逐漸地開始發現

You know, in recent years, there have been

hundreds of new organizations and websites

that are helping young people learn to code.

You look online, you'll see places like Codecademy

你看網上有像「編程學院」
Codecademy 這類的地方

有像CoderDojo 一樣的組織
(註: 該組織在世界各地幫助年輕人學習如何寫程式)

又有像「女生愛編程」
Girls Who Code
