About the Author
关于作者

Hi, I'm the author of KLE (Kindness Learning Enlightenment), and you probably have known my name - Wang Shui - which in Chinese means a very powerful acid solution that can even resolve gold - sounds cool, uh?

我是KLE的作者；也许你已经知道我的名字了——王水——在汉语里，这是一种很强的酸液，可以溶解金子——听起来很酷，是吧？

Yes, I wrote this program, and I wrote it piece by piece, with fun. I know we are all living in a highly industrialized commercial world and my way of developing software is very much far from an efficient one. But you know, as the great Niobe (never heard of her? You need be more careful when watching "The Matrix" next time) once said, "Something's never gonna change," - such as one's lust for freedom.

我一点一点地编写这个程序，而且以此为乐。我知道，我们现在生活在一个高度工业化的商业化世界，我写程序的方式根本不是商业化的高效的方式。但你也知道，正如伟大的Niobe所说的那样（没听说过她？下次看《黑客帝国》时仔细些）：“有些事永远不会改变”——人对自由的渴望正是如此。

As a teacher on computer technology, I know the rules and regulations of writing a commercial software, but I just write it piece by piece, fix in some new ideas now and then, and publish the new version with bugs that I had to hack later at night. You know, it's kinda fun. "Everything I do, I do it for fun" -that's my motto - well, not everything, but at least this one.

作为一个计算机教师，我知道开发商业化软件的各项规则，但我仍是一点一点地写，不时加进一些新主意，迫不及待地发布新的版本，而将不少的Bug留待夜里慢慢调试——你知道，这很有趣。“我所作的一切都是为了兴趣”——这是我的座右铭——不过，也许不可能“一切”，但起码这件事情是。

We are all victims of rules and regulations, seldom could we have some real fun; but why not this time when we can really do something right and do it with delight? The English language itself is not our goal, 'coz what we're seeking is the fertile fruits of one of the greatest culture the world can offer us. This is the main idea of the initiation of KLE, and the reason of the enthusiasm of all the hard-working.

我们都是各种条条框框的牺牲品，很少有自己的乐趣。但这次不一样：这次我们既能够做好事情，又能够享受乐趣，何乐而不为？英语本身不是我们的目的，我们的目的是要去理解这个世界上最伟大的文化之一的丰硕成果，这是KLE的基本宗旨所在，也是我热心投入开发KLE的原因。

Movie is one of the most important cultural phenomena of the modern society, whatever your race, whatever your age, wherever you live, you can always find a movie that can touch the right chord, and that is just where KLE begins: Learn The Language While You Can Feel It.

电影是现代社会中最为重要的文化现象之一，不管你是什么种族，也不管你年龄多大，家住何方，你总能找到能和自己共鸣的电影；这也正是KLE的出发点：感受语言才能真正的学习语言。

Maybe you would ask: Why it's "Kindness Learning Environment" (KLE)? Why not just "Movie Language Learning System" (MLLS)? Well, part of the reason is that I am a Buddhist, and I believe that KINDNESS is a key element of understanding things (and KLE can also be called as Kindness Learning Enlightenment, a Zen-like name), especially for memorizing words and expression_r_rs when watching a movie. Another reason is that I admire KDE very much, which is a very powerful window system for Linux/Unix (as powerful as the Microsoft Windows, but it's free and open-sourced), and I want my project has a similar name to it.

也许你会问：为什么要将你的软件命名为“慈心学习环境”（KLE）？直接叫“电影语言学习系统”（MLLS）不是更好吗？部分原因是，我是一个佛教徒，我相信理解事物的关键因素之一是“慈悲”（所以KLE又可被称为“慈心学习觉悟法”，有点禅宗的味道），特别是记忆电影中的词汇和表达法。另一个原因是我非常崇拜KDE，这是一个用于Linux/Unix环境的窗口系统（和微软的Windows系统一样强大，但是免费和源代码开放的），我想让我的软件有一个和KDE相近似的名字。

Sometimes when I look back all the way I have passed through since 1967 when I was born - well, I'd rather say "since 1989", when I got my first job (and that is still my job now, damn), because it's easier for me to remember things - I'm always wanting to do something big, something extraordinary, something unique. I think this one is it - well, it's not much "extraordinary", nor as big as the "Theory of Relativity", nor could it make me rich overnight - just a piece of job I'd like to do for nothing, a small program for people enjoying movies and learning English at the same time, but as far as I know, it's unique: I created the idea.

有时当我回顾从1967年我出生以来所走过的人生道路的时候——也许从1989年开始回顾更容易些，那时我刚刚找到我的第一份工作，有点令人沮丧的是我现在仍然在作这份工作——我总是在想如何能做一些与众不同的、独特的、伟大的事情。我想KLE算是一个这样的成果，虽然它并不怎么出色，更不可能和“相对论”这样的伟大理论相提并论，更不可能让我一夜暴富；它只是我愿意为之无偿付出的一个让人们在欣赏电影的同时学习英语的小程序；但是，就我所知，它是独特的，我发明了这个主意。

As you can see, I'm no moron (well, at least you are not a moron, and you will not read words written by a moron, that's why I'm sure I'm not a moron, because you are reading my words), but I'm no genius, either. I'm just another normal guy like most of the others. Sometime I even ask myself: how could I survive this fiercely dog-eat-dog world? But most of the time I just get lost in my job, my family, my friends, and cliches of all other mortal things. But when I am alone at night, and when it's hard to sleep, I ask myself: What have I accomplished? As an individual, what's my purpose? That's why I like the movie "The Matrix" very much.

你可以看出，我不是白痴（至少你不是，对吧？而且因为你不会阅读白痴的文章，所以我能肯定我也不是白痴，因为你正在阅读我的文章），但我也不是天才，我只是众多凡人中的一个。有时我甚至怀疑自己，如何才能在这个竞争激烈的社会上生存？大部分时间里，我迷失于工作、家庭、朋友和其他凡夫俗子的鸡毛蒜皮之中；但是，每当夜晚我独自一人的时候，当我辗转反侧难以入睡的时候，我就会想：我到底成就了什么？作为一个人，我生存的目的是什么？这也正是我非常喜欢《黑客帝国》的原因。

When Neo said "I can control my own life", I believed him. I believe you can, too. So drop your "red-bible" or other test-coping shit, free your mind and start using KLE -- it's your life, and you have the right to understand and enjoy, and you will not allow anyone to spoil it.

当Neo说：“我能控制我自己的生活”时，我相信他。我相信你也能。所以扔掉你的“红宝书”或其他应试教育的狗屎吧，放飞你的思想，来使用KLE吧——这是你的生活，你有权理解和享受，你绝不允许任何人破坏它。

Have fun!

祝你快乐！
