The Floppy Disk Icon means "save" for a whole generation of people who have never seen one.

对于从未见过的一代人来说，软盘图标的意思是“保存”。

What happens when all the things we based our icons on don't exist anymore? Do they just become, ahem, iconic glyphs whose origins are shrouded in mystery?

当我们基于图标的所有事物都不存在时，会发生什么？ 它们只是变成了神秘地笼罩着起源的标志性字形吗？

软盘-保存 (Floppy Disk - Save)

Save? Save where? You know, down there. Adding the Arrow to the 3.5" floppy makes me smile. Is it pointing to under my desk? What's a floppy? Why not a USB key? Maybe a cloud icon? That will be easy since there is only One Cloud Icon in the world.

救？ 保存在哪里？ 你知道，在那儿。 将箭头添加到3.5英寸的软盘中使我微笑。它指向我的办公桌下方吗？是什么软盘？为什么不使用USB密钥？也许是云图标？这很容易，因为世界上只有一个云图标。

单选按钮-互斥选择 (Radio Buttons - Mutually Exclusive Choices)

Why are they called Radio Buttons? Because my car radio used to have buttons where only one could be pressed at any time.  I miss my 8-track.

为什么将它们称为“单选按钮”？ 因为我的汽车收音机曾经有个按钮，可以随时只按一个按钮。 我想念我的8曲。

剪贴板 (Clipboards)

Seriously, short of a doctor's office or the DMV when are we coming in contact with clipboards? And why is the clipboard the icon for Paste? Why not Copy? Or "fill out form?

严重的是，什么时候我们不与医生办公室或DMV联系剪贴板？ 为什么剪贴板是粘贴图标？ 为什么不复制？ 还是“填写表格？

书签 (Bookmarks)

We used to use smaller flat dead trees to keep our place in between the dead trees we would read from so that we didn't lose our page. No, books didn't "keep our place when we turned them off."

我们过去常常使用较小的扁平枯树来保持我们在阅读枯树之间的位置，以免丢失页面。 不，书籍没有“当我们关闭书籍时就保持我们的位置”。

地址簿和日历 (Address Books and Calendars)

We would write down all our addresses and phone numbers in a dead tree and carry it around with us. Sometimes we'd manage our calendar that way also. Everything was bound together with metal spiral loops. Let me check my Filofax.

我们会将所有地址和电话号码写下来，放在死树中，随身携带。 有时我们也可以通过这种方式管理日历。 一切都被金属螺旋环束缚在一起。 让我检查一下我的Filofax。

语音信箱 (Voicemail)

I assume that the Voicemail icon is supposed to be evocative of reel to reel tapes but it always look like a container of 110 Film. I suspect my voicemail is no longer stored on spooled magnetic tape. No, you've never seen either of these before, young person. #getoffmylawn

我假设“语音信箱”图标应该让人联想起卷带式磁带，但它看起来始终像是110胶片的容器。 我怀疑我的语音信箱不再存储在假脱机磁带上。 不，您从未见过这两个，年轻人。 ＃离开我的草坪

马尼拉文件夹(Manila Folder )

I suppose the kids use Pee Chees still these days? I use folders because I use the 43 Folders organizational system but I don't see any reason that we couldn't be storing our files in abstract squares rather than folders in the sky.

我想这些天孩子们还在用小便吗？ 我使用文件夹是因为我使用的是“ 43文件夹”组织系统，但是我看不出有任何理由不能将文件存储在抽象正方形而不是天空中的文件夹中。

手机电话图标 (Handset Phone Icon )

The world's most advanced phones include an icon that looks like a phone handset that you haven't touched in 20 years, unless you've used a pay phone recently. (What's that?)

世界上最先进的电话带有一个图标，看起来像是您20年来从未触摸过的电话听筒，除非您最近使用过付费电话。 (那是什么？)

放大镜和双筒望远镜 (Magnifying Glass and Binoculars)

At some time in the past the magnifying glass became the "search everywhere" icon, but for some reason binoculars are for searching within a document. This makes no sense as magnifying glasses are for searching things that are near and binoculars imply breadth of search and distance. These two commands should have had their icons reversed!

在过去的某个时候，放大镜变成了“随处搜索”的图标，但是由于某种原因，双筒望远镜才可以在文档中搜索。 这是没有意义的，因为放大镜是用于搜索附近的东西，而双筒望远镜则意味着搜索和距离的广度。 这两个命令的图标应该颠倒了！

信封 (Envelopes)

Soon the envelope itself will go away and the next generation will wonder what this rectangle means and what it has to do with email. We'll still put other arrows and icons on top of these icons to mean reply, forward, delete, and other things. "Daddy, what's a 'stamp'?"

信封很快就会消失，下一代将怀疑这个矩形的含义以及与电子邮件的关系。 我们仍将其他箭头和图标放在这些图标之上，以表示答复，转发，删除等操作。 “爸爸，什么是'邮票'？”

扳手和齿轮-设置/设置 (Wrenches and Gears - Setup/Settings)

Want to indicate Settings or Setup to a twenty something? Show them a tool they've never used in their lives.

想要将“设置”或“设置”指示为二十多个字？ 向他们展示他们一生中从未使用过的工具。

传声器 (Microphones)

If you don't know who Johnny Carson is, how could you know that this is a old-style microphone?

如果您不知道谁是约翰尼·卡森(Johnny Carson)，您怎么会知道这是老式麦克风？

摄影 (Photography)

No one under 30 has seen a Polaroid in years but we keep using them for icons. Instagram sold for $1B with an icon whose subtlety was lost on its target audience. "Shake it like a Polaroid picture."

30岁以下的人中没有人看到过宝丽来相机，但我们一直在使用它们作为图标。 Instagram以10亿美元的价格售出了一个带有图标的图标，该图标的细微之处已失去了它的目标受众。 “像拍立得照片一样摇动它。”

电视机 (Televisions)

Does your TV have "rabbit ears?"

您的电视有“兔子耳朵”吗？

复本和蓝图 (Carbon Copies and Blueprints)

I'll "cc" you on that email. Last time I made a carbon copy I was using a mimeograph to do it.

我会在该电子邮件中“抄送”您。 上一次我制作复本时，我使用了油印机。

What other icons do we use while the original inspiration fades into obscurity?

当原始灵感逐渐模糊时，我们还使用其他哪些图标？

Note: If one of these icons is yours let me know and I'll link to your site. I found all these and haven't been able to attribute all of them.

注意：如果这些图标之一是您的，请告诉我，我将链接到您的网站。 我找到了所有这些，但无法将它们全部归因于。
