这篇《用户界面设计》是去年早些时候在查阅一些UI资料的时候翻译的，那时对于UI的很多大东西都没有深刻了解，所以对于术语的翻译都不够准确。先放在这里，有空的时候再仔细校对一下吧

A fundamental reality of application development is that the user interface is the system to the users. What users want is for developers to build applications that meet their needs and that are easy to use. Too many developers think that they are artistic geniuses – they do not bother to follow user interface design standards or invest the effort to make their applications usable, instead they mistakenly believe that the important thing is to make the code clever or to use a really interesting color scheme. Constantine (1995) points out that the reality is that a good user interface allows people who understand the problem domain to work with the application without having to read the manuals or receive training.

我 们逐渐意识到应用程序开发就是为 用户创建的用户界面系统。用户需要开发人员创建满足他们需要并且易于使用的程序。太多的开发人员认为自己是天上的艺术家——他们不愿意去遵循让人烦恼的界 面设计标准或者投入精力提高他们的程序可用性，相反的，他们错误地认为重要的是使得代码看上去更漂亮或者使用更吸引人的色彩外观。Constantine (1995)指出事实商，一个优秀的界面设计会使用户操作软件时明白问题所在，而无需查阅手册或者接受培训。

Interface design is important for several reasons. First of all the more intuitive the user interface the easier itis to use, and the easier it is to use the cheaper it is. The better the user interface the easier it is to trainpeople to use it, reducing your training costs. The better your user interface the less help people will needto use it, reducing your support cots. The better your user interface the more your users will like to use it,increasing their satisfaction with the work that you have done.

界 面设计之所以重要有如下几个原 因。首先，用户界面直观，（程序）就容易使用，就可以降低操作成本。优秀的用户界面会使得培训人员更容易，降低了培训费用。优秀的用户界面会使操作人员较 少地需要技术支持，降低技术支持的成本。当然用户界面越好，你的用户就越喜欢使用，这样就使得用户对你的工作的满意度提高。

The point to be made is that the user interface of an application will often make or break it. Although the functionality that an application provides to users is important, the way in which it provides that functionality is just as important. An application that is difficult to use won’t be used. Period. It won’t matter how technically superior your software is or what functionality it provides, if your users don’t like it they simply won’t use it. Don’t underestimate the value of user interface design.

需要说明的是，程序的用户界面需要经常的制作和打破。尽管程序提供给用户的功能十分重要，但是如何把功能提供给用户同样重要。我们不会使用一个很难操作的软件。不管你的软件技术如何先进，功能如何完备，如果用户不喜欢它，他们通常都不会使用。别低估用户界面设计的用处
