Look at your computer keyboard. Have you ever wondered why the letters on a keyboard are not in “ABC” order?
The keyboard we use every day is called the QWERTY keyboard layout(布局). Q,W,E,R,T,Y are the first six letters on this layout,starting from the top left. 1 The first typewriter(打字机),with a keyboard which looked like a piano,was invented in the late 19th century. 2 However,it was later discovered that as the typing speed increased,some keys failed to come back to their places quickly. As a result,they got jammed(卡住)very easily. Most typists(打字员)ended up breaking the typewriter altogether when separating the keys. 3 It turned out to be a great success. It placed keys in such a way that the most used letters were spaced out so that the keys were more likely to work freely.
4 With the arrival of the computer,the typists in offices were the same people who were to now operate computers. This meant the typists had to be trained to use the new device. But training required too much time and money. It was easier to design the keyboards following the layout of typewriters,which was the QWERTY layout,and this continues even today. It is very difficult now to get people to change to any other keyboard layout.
A. Some inventors built a typing machine.
B. However,another problem came about in the 1940s.
C. The typewriter did have the ABC keyboard layout like a piano.
D. To solve this problem,the QWERTY keyboard was developed.
E. Here are some tips to help you get used to the QWERTY keyboard.
F. To understand why we went with QWERTY,we need to go back in history.

看看你的电脑键盘。你有没有想过为什么键盘上的字母不是按“ABC”的顺序排列的?
我们每天使用的键盘被称为QWERTY键盘布局。从左上角开始,Q、W、E、R、T、Y是这种布局的前六个字母。1第一台打字机,它的键盘看起来像钢琴键盘,是在19世纪晚期被发明出来的。2然而,后来人们发现,随着打字速度的提高,一些按键无法快速回到原来的位置。结果,它们很容易卡住。大多数打字员在分开按键时,最终会把打字机整个弄坏。3结果证明它非常成功。它以这样一种方式排列按键:最常用的字母被隔开,这样按键更有可能自由工作。
4随着计算机的出现,办公室里的打字员就是现在操作计算机的那些人。这意味着打字员必须接受培训才能使用这种新设备。但培训需要太多的时间和金钱。按照打字机的布局(也就是QWERTY布局)来设计键盘更容易,而且这种情况一直持续到今天。现在让人们改用任何其他键盘布局都非常困难。
A. 一些发明家制造了一台打字机。
B. 然而,另一个问题在20世纪40年代出现了。
C. 这种打字机确实有像钢琴键盘那样的ABC键盘布局。
D. 为了解决这个问题,QWERTY键盘被研发出来。
E. 这里有一些小贴士可以帮助你习惯QWERTY键盘。
F. 为了理解我们为什么采用QWERTY布局,我们需要回顾历史。
