- 1. Its primary role should be to teach new users, to remind those who have forgotten, and to provide a way to access infrequently used functions.
- 菜单的主要职能应该是指导新用户，提醒那些忘记如何操作的人，并为非常用功能的使用提供一条途径。

- 2. Ultimately, menus are commonly needed less and less for functions that are used on a daily basis, and instead become a way of learning about infrequently used tools.
- 最终日常使用的常用功能也越来越不需要从菜单来调用，菜单变成了学习不常用功能的一条途径。

- 3. Mailing tubes are used infrequently and are sufficiently unrelated to the drawing process, so he stores them in a closet.
- 邮寄用的纸筒不常使用，而且与画图过程无关，所以画家将它们存储在壁橱里。

- 4. Radio buttons are well suited to a teaching role, which means that they can be justified in infrequently used dialog boxes, but drop-down list boxes are often a better choice on the surface of a sovereign application which must cater to daily users.
- 单选按钮很适合担当教学的角色，这也意味着它们可以合理地用于不常使用的对话框。 而在独占姿态应用的界面中，因为它必须迎合日常用户的需要，所以下拉列表则更好。

- 5. There was, however, another, infrequently used, drag operation.
- 到目前为止，这是最常用的拖放习惯用法。

- 6. It’s okay for a device that is intended primarily for one-handed use to support some advanced functions that require two-handed use, as long as they are needed infrequently.
- 对于主要是单手操作的设备，也可以考虑加入一些需要双手，但仅仅是偶尔使用一下的高级功能。

- 7. Infrequently updated sites may be used more for occasional reference (assuming that the information is not too topical) rather than for heavy repeat use and should thus be given more of a transient stance than a sovereign one.
- 偶尔才更新的网站则更多地用来做偶尔的查询（假设其中的信息并不是事实热点话题），而较少用来作为经常性的重复使用。 因此应该处于一种暂时姿态，而不是独占姿态。

- 8. Dialog boxes are also good for presenting infrequently used functions and settings. A dialog box serves to isolate these operations from more frequently used functions and settings.
- 对话框常适合用于表达不常使用的功能和设置，可以用对话框将这些操作与更为频繁使用的功能和设置隔离开。

- 9. If the attributes in question are frequently toggled, they should also be accessible from a toolbar. If they are infrequently accessed and menu space is at a premium, all similar attributes could be gathered in a dialog box that would provide more instruction and context (as is commonly required for infrequently used functionality).
- 如果某些属性是要被频繁开启和关闭的，则最好放在工具栏上；如果它们不常使用，菜单占据的空间又很宝贵，那么我们最好把这些类似的属性放在对话框中，这样还可以提供情境信息或者指导说明信息（对于不常用的功能，使用者往往更需要这些信息）。

- 10. Menu use should be reserved only for infrequently accessed commands (we discuss organizing controls again later in this chapter and discuss toolbars in depth in Chapter 23).
- 菜单应该为那些很少访问的命令保留（我们会在本章的后面讨论控件的组织，在第23章中详细讨论工具栏）。
