纸上原型的工具

• 白板
  -作为背景，窗口的帧
• 大的索引卡片
  -作为菜单、窗口内容，和对话框
• 胶水
  -把纸片粘起来
• 白色的修正带
  -为输入框、多选框、和短信息准备
• 透明胶片
  -作为文本高亮显示和用户输入
• 复印机
  -用来制作多表格
• 钢笔或麦克笔，剪刀，带子

Here are the elements of a paper prototyping toolkit.
这些是纸上原型工具包中的东西。

Although standard (unlined) paper works fine, you’ll get better results from sturdier products like poster board and index cards. Use poster board to draw a static background, usually a window frame. Then use index cards for the pieces you’ll place on top of this background. You can cut the index cards down to size for menus and window internals.
尽管普通的纸张也好用，但是使用一些硬一点的产品，就像白板纸和索引卡片你会感觉更好。使用白板纸来画静态背景，经常是窗口的帧。然后，使用索引卡放在这些背景的顶部。你可以剪切索引卡片成菜单或内窗口的尺寸。

Restickable Post-it Note glue, which comes in a roll-on stick, is a must. This glue lets you make all of your pieces sticky, so they stay where you put them. You can find this glue at Pearl Arts in Central Square; it’s not found in the Coop.
Restickable Post-it便条胶水必须可以滚动粘贴。这种胶水可以让你把所有的纸片牢固的粘在一起，于是，他们可以粘在你要粘的地方。你可以在中央广场的珍珠美术商店找到这种胶水，库柏商店没有。

Post-it correction tape is another essential element. It’s a roll of white tape with Post-it glue on one side. Correction tape is used for text fields, so that users can write on the prototype without changing it permanently. You peel off a length of tape, stick it on your prototype, let the user write into it, and then peel it off and throw it away. Correction tape comes in two widths, “2 line” and “6 line”. The 2-line width is good for single-line text fields, and the 6-line width for text areas. You can get correction tape at the Office Max in East Cambridge.
Post-it修正带是又一个必要工具。在白色带的一面滚涂上Post-it胶水。修正带对输入框是有用的，这样用户可以一直在原型上书写。你可以剪下一定长度的色带，粘贴在你的原型上，让用户在上面书写，不用时，把它撕下来丢掉。修正带有两种宽度“2行”和“6行”的，2行宽度对于单行的输入框很好用，而6行的宽度很适合文本框。你可以在东剑桥的马克斯商店买到修正带。

Overhead transparencies are useful for two purposes. First, you can make a selection highlight by cutting a piece of transparency to size and coloring it with a transparency marker. Second, when you have a form with several text fields in it, it’s easier to just lay a transparency over the form and let the users write on that, rather than sticking a piece of correction tape in every field.
透明胶片有两个用途。第一，你可以剪一块合适大小的透明片，做上透明颜色标记来代表选择块的高亮显示。第二，当表格中有很多输入框时，放一块透明片在表格上让用户书写，比在每一个输入框粘贴修正带方便。

If you have many similar elements in your prototype, a photocopier can save you time.
And, of course, the usual kindergarten equipment: pens, markers, scissors, tape.
如果有一些相似的元素在原型中，复印机能节省你的时间。而且，当然了，还包括那些最基础的装备：钢笔、麦克笔、剪刀、纸带。
