　　And I said, "Yeah, it's, I don't know. So..."  我说：“唔，这是……我不知道。”

　　They said, "Why have you put it there?" 他们问：“为什么你把它放在那儿？”

　　I said, "Just like that." 我说：“就那样。”

　　And they said, "Can we touch it?"I said, "If you wish to." 然后他们说：“我们可以摸一下吗？”我说：“如果你们愿意的话。”

　　And I went away. About eight hours later, we found them browsing¹ and teaching² each other how to browse³.  然后我走开了。大概过了8小时以后，我发现他们在上网冲浪并相互教对方如何浏览网页。

　　So I said, "Well that's impossible, because -- How is it possible? They don't know anything." 于是我说：“这不可能，因为……这怎么可能？他们什么都不知道。”

　　My colleagues⁴ said, "No, it's a simple solution. One of your students must have been passing by, showed them how to use the mouse." 我同事说：“不，答案很简单。一定是你哪个学生经过，给他们演示了如何使用鼠标。”

　　So I said, "Yeah, that's possible." 于是我说：“对，那有可能。”

　　So I repeated the experiment.  我于是重复了这个实验。

　　I went 300 miles out of Delhi into a really remote village where the chances of a passing software development engineer was very little.  我跑去离开德里300英里的一个偏远的村子，在这里，偶然路过一个软件开发工程师的概率极低。

　　I repeated the experiment there.  我就在那里重复了实验。

　　There was no place to stay, so I stuck my computer in, I went away, came back after a couple of months, found kids playing games on it. 那里没有地方能让我住下来，所以我装好电脑就走了，几个月之后才回来，我发现几个小孩在上面玩游戏。
