http://www.usatoday.com/tech/gaming/2007-01-15-oregon-research_x.htm 跟大家分享的原因是，这个课程算是我的宝贝。所以这篇是算炫燿自己宝贝的文 章，因为自己感动很深，所以才放上来，还望大家不吝看看，当作我个人满足慾 过剩就好。 ３年前开始跟一群志同道合的朋友和教授们，拟定方案与课程大纲到与学校官方 商议；虽然不是自己主导的案子，为了这个课的成长也投下一堆心血。之前在版 上发过的一些商学分析文，也是去年暑假时为了向校方证明电玩产业的重要性与 学术价值而写的。到处要学生签名跟和校方斡旋，现在终於搞得越趋茁壮了，身 为一个穷酸的电玩人与商业知识人，我想这是现在的自己能够留给学弟妹们最好 的毕业礼物．．． 新闻内容翻译： CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Playing the latest video games is more than a pastime for new media students at Oregon State University, who are doing research to help shape the next generation of the booming gaming industry. U.S.A. Today报社Corvallis, Oregon讯： 对於藉着研究来帮助塑造初次世代日渐茁壮的游戏产业的新媒体相关科系的ＯＳ Ｕ学生来说，玩最新的电玩一事并非只是娱乐消遣。 It's beyond Pacman and it's way beyond Pong. It's also a lot of fun. 现在的电玩已经不再是小精灵，也不再只是Pong，而且它有更多的乐趣。 Jay Bartholomew, David Nicholas, Scott Beachley and Hiram Cervantes recently set up the lab headed by assistant professor Todd Kesterson. Jay Bartholomew, David Nicholas, Scott Beachley 与 Hiram Cervantes最近 在教授Todd Kesterson领导下，设立了一个研究室。 The first experiment compared the graphics on Wii bowling and boxing interactive games to PlayStation 3 pastimes such as Resistance: Fall of Man. 该研究室的第一个实验比较了Wii Sports的保龄球与拳击的画面与ＰＳ３的 Resistance: Fall of Man的画面。 Their conclusions: PlayStation is more graphical, but Wii is better suited to social gaming. 他们的结论是：ＰＳ３画面是好，不过Wii比较适合大家同乐的游戏方式。 It helps to compare gaming systems side by side, said Nicholas, 28, a junior majoring in new media and minoring in philosophy. He's interested in a career in game design or marketing. 现在大三，主修新媒体与副修哲学的２８岁的Nicholas说仔细地比较两台主机真 的很有帮助。他对设计游戏与行销的事业有兴趣。 "If I'm thinking about developing a game, it helps if I can see what excites me and what entices me to play," he said. 『如果我想设计游戏，如果我能够知道什麽东西引起我的兴趣，什麽东西吸引 我，将会对我很有帮助。』 "If you're not immersed, you're lost," added Bartholomew, a junior majoring in business marketing with a minor in new media. 『如果你不能让玩家融入你的游戏，那麽你就失去了做游戏的最初目的』一位主修行销与 副修新媒体的大三生，Bartholomew说到。 The program serves students interested in storytelling through journalism, animation, video gaming and other platforms. 这个课程是提供给对使用动画，电动，新闻及其他媒介来说故事有兴趣的学生。 The program uses new media to communicate about research and scientific discoveries, said Jeff Hale, assistant dean for external relations in the College of Liberal Arts and director of OSU's liberal studies program. 『这个课程是利用新媒体来介绍传达相关研究与科学发现。』College of Liberal Arts and director of OSU's liberal studies program的助理教务长 Jeff Hale说。 Hale has served as interim director of new media since Joel Thierstein, who came to OSU in 2001 to build the program from scratch, left. He now is associate provost at Rice University in Texas. 自从Joel Thierstein离职之後，Hale就一直以interim director的身分为新媒 体科系服务。Joel Thierstein於２００１年从无中生出这个课程。现在Joel Thierstein是德州Rice University的associate provost。 Hale, a sociologist specializing in the private sector, has no background in new media but helps the program stay within budget and deals with a shortage of full-time faculty and support staff. Hale是一为专精於私人服务项目部分的社会学家。虽然他并没有新媒体的背景， 却帮着该科系掌管经费及处理教员短缺的问题。 The program is down to two full-time faculty and about six adjunct faculty. A full-time faculty member with a background in print journalism will be added this fall. 该科系现在减少至两位全职的指导教授与六位非全职的教员。一个有print journalism背景的教员，将会在秋天加入。 The program started offering classes in 2002 and stresses storytelling through various media, including video games, the Internet, television,newspapers and movies. 该科系从２００２年开始授课并着重於藉由多种媒介如电视，电动，新闻，网路 及电影来说故事。 Students and faculty would like to see it be a full-fledged major, which would require more staff and more funding. The budget this fiscal year is $347,264. 学生跟教员希望在未来看到该科系成长为更为完全的课程学系。该改变将会需要 更多职员及经费。今年该系经费为３４７，２６４美元。 （译者按﹔喵的！！学弟别不知满足了！２００４接手扩展这个系时，我们也才 拿１５万美金多阿！！（翻桌）） 以下原文为学校校务相关，故无翻译之重要性。恕小弟偷懒．．． 看到这个宝贝逐渐茁壮，终於感到深为一届电玩人，人生终於有些值得骄傲的成 绩了．．． -- ２００７年３月１４日， 人生第一次要过白色情人节； ２００７年３月１５日， 人生第一次洗床单不是因为自己的错．．． -- --
