Ah yes, Windows Explorer. One of the oldest parts of Windows, and yet, it's far from perfect. It's hated less than, say, the Finder (but that's no achievement), but most geeks I know aren't particularly fond of it either. For Windows 8, Microsoft is going to make the biggest change ever to Explorer's interface: it's getting the ribbon treatment.
是的，Windows Explorer。Windows中最古老的组件之一；然而，它还远非完美。它比，比如Mac OS X中的Finder，所受的诟病稍稍少些（但这并非成绩）；但我所知道的大多数人都并不特别喜欢它。对于Windows 8，微软将对Explorer的界面做前所未有的大改变：它将拥有Ribbon式界面。
The ribbon user interface was first introduced in Microsoft Office 2007, and it was certainly one of the most daring changes Microsoft has ever pushed through. Office one of their two pillars, but up until Office 2007, it used the same menu-driven interface. Over the years, this interface had become incredibly cluttered and obtuse, overflowing with features, yet no easy way to find them.
Ribbon式界面最先在Microsoft Office 2007中被引入。它当之无愧地是微软所做最有勇气的改变之一。Office是微软的半壁江山，但直到Office 2007，它所使用的一直都是同一个菜单驱动界面。在过去的年岁里，这一界面变得尤其杂乱于难用，装入了过多的特色，而却难于发现。
The ribbon was designed to solve this issue. Contrary to popular belief, the goal of the ribbon is not to expose the most commonly-used features; in fact, the goal of the ribbon is to make features easier to find. Office 2003 had about ten billion features, but only about 50 of them (wild guess) were presented in a user-visible way on the various toolbars. The ribbon makes all these ten billion features more discoverable.
Ribbon式界面就是为了解决这一问题。与流行观点不同，Ribbon式界面的目的不是为了暴露最常用的特性；而实质上，是为了使特性更易于发现。Office 2003现在已有约100亿个特性，而仅有近50个（大胆猜测的）以用户可见的方式在诸多工具条中呈现。Ribbon式界面就是为了使这所有100亿个特性变得更易于发现。
