你喜歡玩游戲嗎？你有沒有想過從游戲玩家變身為軟件設(shè)計(jì)者呢？14歲的巴中少年董涵設(shè)計(jì)的“學(xué)生家長(zhǎng)控制系統(tǒng)”,就是他玩游戲玩出來的!這個(gè)系統(tǒng)包括定時(shí)鎖定、網(wǎng)頁黑名單、程序黑名單、網(wǎng)頁瀏覽歷史、屏幕護(hù)眼等板塊,可以幫助家長(zhǎng)有效地控制孩子玩游戲的時(shí)間,防止孩子沉迷游戲!

You open a computer game and promise to play it for just a little while.But as time goes by,you can't stop.Has this ever happened to you?

Dong Han,14,developed a software program to stop people from becoming addicted (上癮的)to computer games.He studies at the Second Middle School of Bazhong City in Sichuan Province.His software won second prize during a national computer production competition,which was organized by the Ministry of Education.

Dong's software can help parents control the time that their children spend using the computer.They can set a certain time for use.When users run out of time,the computer will automatically(自動(dòng)地)lock up.Parents can set website black lists and check the browsing(瀏覽)history,too.

It took Dong only a week to make it.It was all about programming.

For the past two years,Dong has taught himself the skill of programming through reading books and watching videos.When he ran into problems,he asked for help on CSDN,a network of software developers in China.

“For Chinese,the biggest challenge is the language,”he said.“Most programming languages are in English.It's easier to remember some English keywords first.”He suggests that beginners start with Visual Basic and Python programming.

He has often heard parents complain (抱怨)about their children.That's how he got the idea for his award-winning software.

In the future,he aims to make the software into an APP.

◆典句賞析

1.You open a computer game and promise to play it for just a little while.你打開一款電腦游戲并許諾只玩一小會(huì)兒。

promise to do sth.是一種固定搭配形式,屬于“動(dòng)詞+不定式”句型結(jié)構(gòu),意為“承諾做某事”。

【即時(shí)嘗試】請(qǐng)記住你已承諾每天鍛煉身體。

2.When users run out of time,the computer will automatically(自動(dòng)地)lock up.當(dāng)使用者的時(shí)間耗盡時(shí),電腦會(huì)自動(dòng)鎖定。

(1)run out of sth.意為“用光某物；耗盡某物”,介詞of的后面可以接名詞或代詞等。

(2)lock up意思是“把……鎖定；封鎖……”,這類“動(dòng)詞+副詞”構(gòu)成的詞組,后接代詞時(shí),該代詞要放在這兩個(gè)詞的中間,其近義詞組為shut up(關(guān)閉)。

【即時(shí)嘗試】當(dāng)你花光了錢,你會(huì)怎么辦？

3.He has often heard parents complain(抱怨)about their children.他經(jīng)常聽到父母抱怨他們的孩子。

(1)hear sb.do sth.“感官動(dòng)詞hear+人+動(dòng)詞原形”,意為“聽到某人做某事”。

(2)complain about sb./doing sth.意為“抱怨某人 /做某事”,complain是不及物動(dòng)詞,后接“about+名詞”或者動(dòng)名詞短語。

【即時(shí)嘗試】你經(jīng)常抱怨作業(yè)太多嗎？

譯文助讀

你打開一款電腦游戲并許諾只玩一小會(huì)兒。但是隨著時(shí)間的流逝,你卻停不下來。這種事在你身上曾發(fā)生過嗎？

董涵,14歲,開發(fā)了一款防止人們沉迷游戲的軟件。他目前就讀于四川省巴中市第二中學(xué)。他的軟件獲得了由教育部組織的全國(guó)電腦制作大賽的二等獎(jiǎng)。

董涵的軟件能幫助父母控制孩子使用電腦的時(shí)間。他們可以設(shè)定一定的使用時(shí)間。當(dāng)使用者的時(shí)間耗盡,電腦會(huì)自動(dòng)鎖定。父母可以設(shè)置網(wǎng)站黑名單，也能檢查網(wǎng)站瀏覽的歷史記錄。

這個(gè)軟件董涵只用了一個(gè)星期就制作完畢,全都是用編程完成的。

在過去的兩年里,董涵通過閱讀書籍、觀看視頻自學(xué)了編程技術(shù)。當(dāng)他遇到困難,他會(huì)求助于CSDN——中國(guó)的一個(gè)軟件開發(fā)者網(wǎng)站。

董涵說：“對(duì)于中國(guó)人而言,編程最大的挑戰(zhàn)是語言,大多數(shù)程序語言都是英文。因此先記住一些英文關(guān)鍵詞會(huì)變得更容易。”他建議初學(xué)者可以從視覺化基礎(chǔ)程式語言和爬蟲編程開始。

董涵懂得如何平衡學(xué)業(yè)和游戲。

他經(jīng)常聽到有父母抱怨他們的孩子。這是他制作這項(xiàng)獲獎(jiǎng)軟件的起初想法。

今后,他的目標(biāo)是把這個(gè)軟件開發(fā)成一款手機(jī)應(yīng)用程序。
