Since 1995, Java has changed our world . . . and our expectations..
从1995年开始，java已经开始改变我们的世界...和我们的期望...
Today, with technology such a part of our daily lives, we take it for granted that we can be connected and access applications and content anywhere, anytime. Because of Java, we expect digital devices to be smarter, more functional, and way more entertaining.
今天，当科技成为我们日常生活中的一部分时，我们理所当然的认为我们随时随地能链接和进入我们想要的应用中去。因为java，我们期望数字设备更智能，更全能，和这种方式更有趣。
In the early 90s, extending the power of network computing to the activities of everyday life was a radical vision. In 1991, a small group of Sun engineers called the "Green Team" believed that the next wave in computing was the union of digital consumer devices and computers. Led by James Gosling, the team worked around the clock and created the programming language that would revolutionize our world – Java.
在90年代初，将网络计算的力量扩展到日常生活中的方方面面是一种激进的看法。在1991年，一个叫做”Green Team”的sun公司工程师组成的小团队认为计算的下一轮趋势是数字消费设备和计算机的集成。在James Gosling领导下的这个团队夜以继日的工作，并且创造出了能够改变这个世界的程序语言-java。
The Green Team demonstrated their new language with an interactive, handheld home-entertainment controller that was originally targeted at the digital cable television industry. Unfortunately, the concept was much too advanced for the them at the time. But it was just right for the Internet, which was just starting to take off. In 1995, the team announced that the Netscape Navigator Internet browser would incorporate Java technology.
Green小组用一种交互的可以手持的家庭娱乐控制器，来演示他们新的语言，而这种控制器最初是针对数字有线电视行业开发的。不幸的是，这种观念在当时太过先进而不被接受。但是对正在起飞的互联网来说，这才只是开始。在1995年，该团队宣布java技术将应用于网景领航员浏览器。
Today, Java not only permeates the Internet, but also is the invisible force behind many of the applications and devices that power our day-to-day lives. From mobile phones to handheld devices, games and navigation systems to e-business solutions, Java is everywhere!
今天，java技术不仅运用于互联网中，而且也运用在很多的应用程序和设备中，而这些应用程序和设备已经掌控了我们的生活。从移动电话到手持设备、游戏和浏览器系统再到电子商务的解决方案中，java无处不在。
