史上最有趣的Readme

这两天Reddit上最火的一个帖子不是关于什么技术问题的,而是Gnome里CUPS(Common Unix Printing System)打印系统管理器的Readme文件。它让我们看到,在技术中融入人文精神,是多么地有趣和耐人寻味……

这个Readme文件是这样开头的:

Once upon a time there was a printer who lived in the woods. He was a lonely printer, because nobody knew how to configure him. He hoped and hoped for someone to play with.

One day, the wind passed by the printer’s cottage. “Whoosh,” said the wind. The printer became excited. Maybe the wind would be his friend!

“Will you be my friend?” the printer asked.

“Whoosh,” said the wind.

“What does that mean?” asked the printer.

“Whoosh,” said the wind, and with that it was gone.

The printer was confused. He spent the rest of the day thinking and jamming paper (for that is what little printers do when they are confused).

你想到什么了?格林童话,泰戈尔还是冰心的诗?

Solidot上有很好的中文翻译,真的很好:
很久很久以前,有一个打印机居住森林里。它很孤独,因为没人知道如何配置它。它希望有人能和它一起玩。
一天,风吹过打印机的小屋,“呼,呼”。打印机开始兴奋起来,也许风可成为它的朋友。
