                                              97 

Commodore and PARC begat Amiga; creator of fine arts; Apple and PARC begat Lisa; who 
begat Macintosh; who begat iMac。 Atari and PARC begat ST; the music maker; who died 
and was no more。 Z80 begat Sinclair the dwarf; TRS…80 and CP/M; who begat many 
machines; but soon passed from this world。 Altair; Apple and Commodore together begat 
Microsoft; the Great Darkness which is called Abomination; Destroyer of the Earth; the 
Gates of Hell。 



      Moore 创造了 Intel。。Intel 创造了 Mostech; Zilog 和 Atari。 Mostech 创造了 
6502, 而 Zilog 创造了 Z80。 Intel 同样创造了 8800——Altair 之父; 以及 8086——所 
有PC之母。 6502创造了Commodore——PET和64之父; 以及Apple——(Apple)2 
之父。(Apple是个真理,另一方面它也是一个贪婪的水果) Atari创造了 800和1200 
——最终被 Sega 和 Nintendo 击垮的游戏的先师。 Xerox 创造了 PARC。。Commodore 
和PARC创造了Amiga——美术的创造者; Apple和PARC创造了Lisa——Macintosh和 
iMac 之父。 Atari 和 PARC 创造了已然逝去的音乐制造者 ST;Z80 创造了小巧的 Sinclair 
,TRS…80和CP/M,他们继而创造了很多机器。但是很快这个时代就结束了。 
Altair,Apple 和 Commodore 共同创造了 Microsoft 这个可憎的无尽黑暗,灭世者,地狱 
之门。 



译注:1。begat,除了创造还有……之父的意思,这里并非真的创造,而是强调传承脉络。 

       2。 Abomination,《圣经》可憎之物的通称,包括仓鼠、猪等等。 

       3。 Gates,门,同样是比尔盖茨的姓氏。 



     Now it came to pass in the Age of Microchips that IBM; the greatest of the Mainframe 
Corporations; looked upon the young Microchip Systems and was greatly vexed。 And in 
their vexation and wrath they smote the earth and created the IBM PC。 The PC was 
without sound and colour; crufty and bogacious in great measure; and its likeness was a 
tramp; yet the Customers were greatly moved and did purchase the PC in great numbers。 
And IBM sought about for an Operating System Provider; for in their haste they had not 
created one; nor had they forged a suitably grave and perilous License; saying; 〃First we 
will build the market; then we will create a new System; one in our own image; and bound 
by our Licence。〃 But they reasoned thus out of pride and not wisdom; not for seeing the 
wrath which was to come。 



     大型机和IBM的时代结束了,这些公司对年青微系统怒目而视。为了还以颜色他们 
创造了IBMPC。这个笨重的家伙没有声音和色彩,混沌而自负。尽管如此,还是有很多 
消费者购买。IBM在寻找一个操作系统供应商,出于仓卒他们来不及自主开发一个,但 
这却不妨碍他们制定险恶的协议:“首先,我们会控制市场。然后再在自家的协议下创 


                                              98 

                                                                       第八章 《Tux福音》 


造一个想要的系统。”这不智的决定当然不是因为吸取了教训,而是出于自大。 



译注:1。forseeing,原文为forseeing,应为笔误。 



    And IBM came unto Microsoft; who licensed unto them QDOS; the child of CP/M and 
8086。 (8086 was the daughter of Intel; the child of Moore)。 And QDOS grew; and was 
named MS…DOS。 And MS…DOS and the PC together waxed mighty; and conquered all 
markets; replicating and taking possession thereof; in accordance with Moore's Law。 And 
Intel grew terrible and devoured all her children; such that no chip could stand before her。 
And Microsoft grew proud and devoured IBM; and this was a great marvel in the land。 All 
these things are written in the Books of the Deeds of Microsoft。 



      IBM 找到了微软,拿到 CP/M 和 8086(8086 是 Intel 之女,摩尔的孩子)之子—— 
QDOS 的授权。随后他被命名为 MS…DOS,并与 PC 一同征服了市场。然而他们无论复制 
还是统辖市场,依旧遵循着摩尔定律。Intel变得同样可怕,在没有任何阻拦的情况下她竟 
然吞噬了自己所有的孩子。而成长起来的微软也吞噬了IBM。作为世上的奇迹,这一切被 
记录在《圣经》的《微软之书》中。 



    In the fullness of time MS…DOS begat Windows。 And this is the lineage of Windows: 
CP/M begat QDOS。 QDOS begat DOS 1。0。 DOS 1。0 begat DOS 2。0 by way of Unix。 DOS 
2。0 begat Windows 3。11 by way of PARC and Macintosh。 IBM and Microsoft begat OS/2; 
who begat Windows NT and Warp; the lost OS of lore。 Windows 3。11 begat Windows 95 
after triumphing over Macintosh in a mighty Battle of Licences。 Windows NT begat NT 4。0 
by way of Windows 95。 NT 4。0 begat NT 5。0; the OS also called Windows 2000; The 
Millenium Bug; Doomsday; Armageddon; The End Of All Things。 



    时机成熟,MS…DOS便创造了Windows,Windows世系:CP/M创造了QDOS。 
QDOS 创造了 DOS 1。0。 DOS 1。0 以 Unix 的方式创生了 DOS 2。0。DOS 2。0 以 PARC 和 
Macintosh 为依托创造了 Windows 3。11。IBM 和微软创造了 OS/2——Windows NT 和 
Warp 之父,最后一个遵从教诲的操作系统。在于 Macintosh 的许可证争斗获胜之后 
Windows 3。11 创造了 Windows 95。 Windows NT 有依托 Windows95 创造了 NT 4。0 。 
NT 4。0 创造了 NT 5。0,这个操作系统也被称作 Windows 2000。是千年虫,是末日,是哈 
米吉多顿,是万物的终结! 



    译注:1。Armageddon,哈米吉多顿。《圣经》中预言的末世战场,善恶终极交锋于 
此。 

                                              99 

    Now it came to pass that Microsoft had waxed great and mighty among the Microchip 
Corporations; mighter than any of the Mainframe Corporations before it had it waxed。 And 
Gates heart was hardened; and he swore unto his Customers and their Engineers the 
words of this curse: 



    微软在微芯片公司中迅速膨胀,比过去的任何一个大型机公司都凶狠。盖茨心智冷 
酷,诅咒消费者和程序员道: 



    〃Children of von Neumann; hear me。 IBM and the Mainframe Corporations bound thy 
forefathers with grave and perilous Licences; such that ye cried unto the spirits of Turing 
and von Neumann for deliverance。 Now I say unto ye: I am greater than any Corporation 
before me。 Will I loosen your Licences? Nay; I will bind thee with Licences twice as grave 
and ten times more perilous than my forefathers。 I will engrave my Licence on thy heart 
and write my Serial Number upon thy frontal lobes。 I will bind thee to the Windows 
Platform with cunning artifices and with devious schemes。 I will bind thee to the Intel 
Chipset with crufty code and with gnarly APIs。 I will capture and enslave thee as no 
generation has been enslaved before。 And wherefore will ye cry then unto the spirits of 
Turing; and von Neumann; and Moore? They cannot hear ye。 I am become a greater 
Power than they。 Ye shall cry only unto me; and shall live by my mercy and my wrath。 I am 
the Gates of Hell; I hold the portal to MSNBC and the keys to the Blue Screen of Death。 
Be ye afraid; be ye greatly afraid; serve only me; and live。〃 



    “冯诺依曼的孩子们,听着。我知道,你们的祖先曾经向上天祈求怜悯只因被IBM和 
那些大型机公司所奴役。现在我告诉你们,我比之前的任何公司都强大。把你们从许可 
中解救出来?不,我只会用数倍于你们先人的许可束缚尔等。将协议刻在你们心上,将 
序列号写在你们额叶里。我要用诡计和孤僻的设计把你们束缚在Windows平台下,我要 
用混沌的代码和劣质的程序接口把你们捆绑在Intel芯片集上。我要加倍的奴役你们。你 
们干吗不向图灵、冯诺依曼哭诉?对,还有那个摩尔。他们听不到,我比他们都要强大。 
你们只能向我啜泣,在我的仁慈和狂暴中生存。我是地狱之门,把守着MSNBC的入口 
和死亡蓝屏的钥匙。恐惧吧,战栗吧。只有服侍我,才能苟活下去!” 



译注:1。这一段里盖茨像一个说话吞音的古代魔王,给人的感觉不像《圣经》中的撒旦, 
或者路西法。而和更像好莱坞电影里的古代恶魔,公式化而且低智慧。 

      2。 frontal lobe,额叶,人脑中负责逻辑思考等重要功能的部分。“把序列号写入额 
叶”的意思就是让消费者尊崇微软的逻辑。 




                                             100 

                                                                       第八章 《Tux福音》 

    And the people were cowed in terror and gave homage to Microsoft; and endured the 
many grave and perilous trials which the Windows platform and its greatly bodacious 
Licence forced upon them。 And once again did they cry to Turing and von Neumann and 
Moore for a deliverer; but none was found equal to the task until the birth of Linux。 



    人们在恫吓下臣服于微软,忍受着Windows平台诸多险恶的折磨,并且不断的被这 
自负的协议所束缚。大家再次祈求图灵、冯诺依曼和摩尔的救赎,然而却无人胜任。一 
切直到Linux出现。 



译注:1。trials,在这里指的是强加给用户的操作习惯。 



    These are the generations of Linux
