Passage one

段落一

The most common question I'm asked always centers around how to get started in user experience design, to which my response is always that nothing can substitute real world experience.

我经常被问到的最常见问题总是围绕着如何开始用户体验设计，对此我的回答一直是，没有什么可以替代现实世界的经验。

Building the skills required of a user experience designer takes time, patience, and commitment.

培养用户体验设计师所需的技能需要时间、耐心和投入。

Higher education is a great way to equip yourself with some core skills, but it will not prepare you for actual challenges you'll face with client's work.

高等教育是装备自己核心技能的好方法，但它不会为你在客户工作中将面临的实际挑战做好准备。

In other words, being proficient with a design tool and a few methods doesn't make you a user experience designer.

换句话说，熟练掌握设计工具和一些方法并不能使你成为用户体验设计师。

There simply isn't a one size fits all process.

根本不存在一种适合所有人的过程。

Being effective requires adaptability, something you don't really learn in school, much less in a six month training camp.

高效需要适应性，这不是你在学校能真正学到的，更不用说在六个月的训练营中了。

It's gained through experience on the job and learning what's appropriate given the needs of the project.

它是通过工作经验和学习根据项目需求来适当处理来获得的。

I found my way to user experience through graphic design and slowly over many different roles and experiences that led me to become a user experience designer.

我通过平面设计找到了通往用户体验的道路，并在许多不同的角色和经历中慢慢成长，最终成为了一名用户体验设计师。

It took time and commitment to continue to pursue roles within teams that I knew could teach and challenge me.

这需要时间和投入，持续追求在团队中我知道能教导和挑战我的角色。

That's not to say that I think my path is the only one, but once again, nothing can substitute real world experience.

这并不是说我认为我的道路是唯一的，但再次强调，没有什么可以替代现实世界的经验。

You can start anywhere as long as you know your end goal and you commit to actively pursuing opportunities to learn and grow along the way.

只要你明确最终目标并致力于在过程中积极追求学习和成长的机会，你可以在任何地方开始。

Passage two

第二段

When planning for this year, our principal asked what needed to change to engage students more in their learning.

在为今年做规划时，我们的校长询问需要做出哪些改变以让学生更投入学习。

I responded in a whisper, flexible seating, thinking about our then current classroom.

我低声回答说，灵活座位安排，并想到了我们当时的教室。

It had rows of desks with blue chairs and nameplates reminding each student where they should be sitting.

教室里有一排排的课桌，配有蓝色椅子和名牌，提醒每个学生应该坐在哪里。

This began a journey to transform our practice and challenge the ways of learning for a group of year six students used to sitting in desks and rows for years.

这开启了转变我们教学实践并挑战一群习惯了多年坐在课桌前学习的六年级学生的学习方式之旅。

Flexible seating has been defined as movable furniture to create an engaging learning environment.

灵活座位被定义为可移动的家具，以创造一个引人入胜的学习环境。

It is a shift in practice from being teacher focused to student focused learning.

这是一种从教师为中心到学生为中心的学习实践转变。

For us, flexible seating has meant removing most of the traditional chairs and desks and introducing a variety of different seating options to promote student engagement.

对我们而言，灵活座位意味着移除大部分传统椅子和课桌，并引入多种不同的座位选项以促进学生参与。

The use of rows and their minimal adaptations to U shape were traditionally intended to maximize on task behavior and reduce distraction from the teacher.

传统上，使用排式座位及其对U形的最小调整旨在最大化任务行为并减少来自教师的干扰。

Teachers tend to still use this format because of either the need to control students or the belief that the teacher is the most important person in the room.

教师往往仍使用这种形式，要么是因为需要控制学生，要么是认为教师是房间里最重要的人。

Now, our students have a range of different seating options, including a floor desk, couches, stools, beanbags, and the traditional desk and chair.

现在，我们的学生有一系列不同的座位选项，包括地板课桌、沙发、凳子、豆袋椅以及传统的课桌和椅子。

From our experience so far, flexible seating enhances student ownership of space and engagement in learning while reducing rates of student disengagement and disciplinary actions.

从我们目前的经验来看，灵活座位增强了学生对空间的所有权和学习参与度，同时降低了学生脱离参与和纪律行动的比率。

It is a win for all concerned.

这对所有相关方都是一个胜利。
