I mean, it's point and click, it's like the menus, icons, it's all the kind of same thing. 比如说点击、菜单、图标,一直就是这些东西,一成不变。
And so one kind of information space that I kind of take inspiration from is my real desk. 可是,有一种信息空间,即我的真正的书桌,给我带来了灵感。

So you can bump things -- they're all kind of physically, you know, manipulable and stuff , and instead of that point and click, it's like a push and pull, 这样你把东西撞来撞去──它们好像真的接受管控,你可以随意摆放它们。 这样操作它们就无需点击,而更像是拖动和拉动。

locations:n.地方;地点;位置;定位(location的复数)

individual:n.个人;有个性的人;adj.单独的;个别的;
And one of the things I can do is make it bigger if I want to kind of emphasize it and make it more important. 其中一个办法就是把图标变大 这样就能强调它,使它显得更重要。
emphasize:v.强调;重视;着重;使突出;
But what's really cool is that since there's kind of a physics simulation running under this, it's actually heavier. So the lighter stuff doesn't really move 不过真正酷的一点,是这些图标都加上了物理仿真的因素, 因此越大的图标就越重。所以轻的东西撞不动它
simulation:n.仿真;模拟;模仿;假装;
But if I throw it at the lighter guys, right? 但是如果我把重的扔到轻的上面,看！

This is heavy, so it feels more important. So it's kind of cool. 这个重,因此让人感觉更重要。这办法很酷。
