College student reflects on getting started in open source(一)
I just completed the first semester of my second year in college, and I'm reflecting on what I learned in my classes.
我刚刚完成大学二年级的第一学期,我正在思考我在课堂上学到的东西。
One class, in particular, stood out to me: "Foundations of an Open Source World
," taught by Dr. Bryan Behrenshausen at Duke University.
有一节课特别引起了我的注意:“开源世界的基础”,它由杜克大学的 Bryan Behrenshausen 博士讲授。
I enrolled in the class at the last minute because it seemed interesting and, if I’m being honest because it fit my schedule.
我在最后一刻参加了课程,因为它看起来很有趣,诚实地来说,因为它符合我的日程安排。
On the first day, Dr. Behrenshausen asked if we students knew or had used any open source programs.
第一天,Behrenshausen 博士问我们学生是否知道或使用过任何开源程序。
Until that day I had hardly heard the term “open source” and certainly wasn't cognizant of any products that fell into that category.
直到那一天,我几乎没有听过术语“开源”,当然也不知道任何属于该类别的产品。
As the semester went on, however, it dawned on me that the passion I have towards my career aspirations would not exist without open source.
然而,随着学期的继续,对我而言,如果没有开源,我对事业抱负的激情就不会存在。

Charged with the task of cutting music for my dance team, I searched the web for hours until I found Audacity, an open source audio editor.
我负责为我的舞蹈团队裁剪音乐,我在网上搜索了几个小时,直到找到开源音频编辑器 Audacity。
Audacity opened doors for me; no longer was I confined to repetitive eight-counts of the same beat.
Audacity 为我敞开了大门。我不再局限于重复的 8 音节。
I started receiving requests left and right from others who wanted unique renditions of their favorite songs.
我开始接受其他想要独特演绎他们最喜爱歌曲的人的请求。
Weeks later, I stumbled upon a GIF on the internet of a cat with a Pop-Tart torso and a rainbow trail flying through space.
几周后,我偶然在互联网上看到了一只有着 Pop-Tart 躯干并且后面拖着彩虹在太空飞行的猫。
I searched “how to make moving images” and discovered GIMP, an open source graphics editor, and used it to create a GIF of "The Simpsons" for my brother’s birthday present.
我搜索了“如何制作动态图像”,并发现了一个开源的图形编辑器 GIMP,并用它为我兄弟做了一张“辛普森一家”的 GIF 作为生日礼物。
