|
5 | | -The tool was about uploading and downloading data specified with a URL. It |
6 | | -would show the data (by default). The user would "see" the URL perhaps and |
7 | | -"see" then spelled with the single letter 'c'. It was also a client-side |
8 | | -program, a URL client. So 'c' for Client and URL: **cURL**. |
| 5 | +这个工具的作用是根据一条指定的URL去下载或者上传数据。默认状态下它还能会将数据展示出来,这让我联想到了字符'c'。因为它本质是就是一款客户端程序(client-side),一款负责URL的客户端。所以'c'代表着客户端。于是我们决定把它命名为:**cURL**。 |

10 | | -Nothing more was needed so the name was selected and we never looked back |
11 | | -again. |
| 7 | +这个名字干净清爽,言简意赅。我们会一直使用下去,不再做改动。 |

|
13 | | -Later on, someone suggested that curl could actually be a clever "recursive |
14 | | -acronym" (where the first letter in the acronym refers back to the same word): |
15 | | -"Curl URL Request Library" |
| 9 | +有趣的是,有人为这个名字提出了一种巧妙绝伦的藏头隐喻!把每一个字符暗含成这样的词汇:Curl URL Request Library! |
16 | 10 |
|
17 | | -While that is awesome, it was actually not the original thought. We sort of |
18 | | -wish we were that clever though… |
| 11 | +虽然这个藏头隐喻非常的巧妙,但它其实跟命名过程并任何没有关系。不过我们还是希望我们也能如此聪明。 |
19 | 12 |
|
20 | | -There are and were other projects using the name curl in various ways, but we |
21 | | -were not aware of them by the time our curl came to be. |
| 13 | +事实上,有一些其他项目也被命名为了curl。但是在我们为项目命名的时候,我们并不了解这一情况。 |

23 | | -### Pronunciation |
| 15 | +### 发音 |
24 | 16 |
|
25 | | -Most of us pronounce "curl" with an initial k sound, just like the English |
26 | | -word curl. It rhymes with words like girl and earl. Merriam Webster has a |
27 | | -[short WAV file](https://media.merriam-webster.com/soundc11/c/curl0001.wav) to |
28 | | -help. |
| 17 | +我们大多数人对于'curl'的发音,会有一个初始k音,就像英语单词curl一样。它很类似于'girl'或者'earl'的发音.《韦氏词典》中有一个很短的[音频](https://media.merriam-webster.com/soundc11/c/curl0001.wav)来帮助你发音。 |

32 | | -Soon after curl was first created another "curl" appeared that makes a |
33 | | -programming language. That curl still [exists](http://www.curl.com). |
| 21 | +curl刚创建不久,就出现了另一个“curl”,它是一种编程语言。并且这么语言仍然存在,[这里](http://www.curl.com)可以寻找到它。 |
34 | 22 |
|
35 | | -Several libcurl bindings for various programming languages use the term "curl" |
36 | | -or "CURL" in part or completely to describe their bindings, so sometimes |
37 | | -you will find users talking about curl but targeting neither the command-line tool |
38 | | -nor the library that is made by this project. |
| 23 | +有的编程语言或者第三方库使用'curl'或者'CURL'来作为它们自身的某种描述术语。所以你可能会听见有人在谈论'curl',但是却跟我们的命令行工具与以及库没有任何关系。 |

|
40 | | -### As a verb |

43 | | -to download a file or resource from a URL. |
| 27 | +'curl一下'有时候可以被理解为通过一条URL去下载文件或者资源,而没有使用浏览器。 |
