In the early days of computers there was only the Command Line. The concept of a Graphical User Interface to which most GUI are modelled after today were invented by engineers at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center. A bit later, Apple paid a whole bunch of money to be allowed to "study" their GUI idea. And, after a while Apple had their own GUI.

早期的计算机操作系统都只有命令行操作模式，现在非常流行的"图形用户界面"的概念最早是由施乐公司"帕尔托研究中心"的一名工程师所提出来的，在它提出来不久之后，苹果电脑公司出了一大笔钱才被许可"研究"他们的GUI概念，不久以后，苹果就有了他们自己的GUI。

I have just read in the paper that three elderly people , sharing an apartment and all confined to wheelchairs because of cerebral palsy , were robbed by intruders . Three Mexican tourists who could no English were charged $ 167 for a taxi ride from Kennedy International Airport to downtown New York . The 217 blind newsdealers of New York recently complained that their customers are stealing coins from their trays , shortchanging them ,and frequently mugging them on their way home at night . A savings bank guard who assisted blind customers with their deposit and withdrawal slips was recently charged with forgery and grand larceny after a blind depositor discovered her balance was $ 169 instead of the $ 2857 which her Braille accounting indicated should be there . During last year's Central Park Bicycle Race , five of the racers were attacked and had their bikes stolen while the race was in progress . This is something of a handicap in a bicycle race .
