1. They indicate that the application is busy with some internal function and that performance in other areas is likely to degrade.
它们向用户表明当前程序正在忙于某些内部功能,其他功能的处理能力可能会降低。

2. There is one button per function, one dialog per module of code, and the commands and processes precisely echo the internal data structures and algorithms.
每个函数一个按钮,每个代码模块一个对话框,命令和进程都精确地回应着内部的数据结构和算法。

3. Even though the file system is an internal facility that shouldn’t be the concern of users, it pervasively influences the user interface of most applications.
即使文件系统是一个不应该影响用户的内部功能,但是由于文件系统对大多数程序界面的影响无处不在,所以它成了一个大问题。

4. In this unified file model, users should never be forced to confront the internal mechanisms of the computer—it is the file system’s job to manage writing data between the disks and memory.
在这样的统一文件模型中,使用者永远也不应该被强迫面对计算机的内部机制——在内存和磁盘上管理数据是文件系统的本职工作。

5. This problem is caused by software that forces people to think like computers by unnecessarily making them confront the internal mechanisms of data storage.
软件强迫人们按照计算机的思维方式来思考,并要求人们面对本来不必面对的内部数据存储机制,因此造成了这个问题。

6. Interaction design based primarily on workflow often fails in the same way as “implementation model” software whose interaction is based primarily on its internal technical structure.
如果完全或者主要依赖于工作流的交互设计经常会失败,这个道理同“实现模型”软件的界面构建在内部技术结构之上是一样的。

7. The platform can be thought of as the combination of hardware and software that enables the product to function, in terms of both user interactions and the internal operations of the product.
平台可以认为是软件和硬件结合在一起,并使产品的使用成为可能,这里的使用包括交互和产品内部的运转(查询一下第7章的这个问题)。

8. As we discussed in Chapter 2, a person’s mental model is their own internal representation of reality—the way they think about or explain something to themselves.
正如我们在第2章中提到的,一个人的心理模型是其对现实的内部表达——他们思考或者对自己解释事物的方法。

9. Possess internal coherence
拥有内在的和谐

10. Another example is designing a system that gets the date from the internal clock instead of asking for input from users.
另一个例子是设计从内部时钟获取数据的系统,用来取代请求用户输入。
