Google Knol 腾空出世！！！Knol正式开放！翻译Google官方报道

----------



盼了很久，这个星期三，也就是23号，Google Knol终于全面正式向大家开放了，

如果有人还不知道什么是Knol的话，那我也无言了，

总之，这是wikipedia里边对它的解释，各位可以去看一看：Knol

不过，说道，wikipedia，那Google的Knol出来之后，他又怎么办呢？

先给大家翻译Google 官方对这个的报道吧：

Knol is open to everyone

Knol全面开放

A few months ago we announced that we were testing a new product called Knol. Knols are authoritative articles about specific topics, written by people who know about those subjects. Today, we're making Knol available to everyone.

几个月前，我们曾经公布过我们正在测试一项新的服务叫做Knol。

Knols的意思就是一些懂得某方面知识的人撰写的有关这方面的权威性的文章。

今天，我们正式开放了Knol。

The web contains vast amounts of information, but not everything worth knowing is on the web. An enormous amount of information resides in people's heads: millions of people know useful things and billions more could benefit from that knowledge. Knol will encourage these people to contribute their knowledge online and make it accessible to everyone.

互联网中的知识量虽然很大，但是也并非什么都有。

仍有数量巨大的知识储藏在人们的大脑中：

许多人懂得一些很实用的知识，而更多的人可以从这些知识上获益。

Knol就是在鼓励那些懂得知识的人把他们的知识分享出来，

让每个人都与知识近在咫尺。


The key principle behind Knol is authorship. Every knol will have an author (or group of authors) who put their name behind their content. It's their knol, their voice, their opinion. We expect that there will be multiple knols on the same subject, and we think that is good.

Knol关键的地方就是有authorship（作者署名）。

每一篇Knol都有一个作者（或者一组作者），他们的名字将会被放在他们所贡献的内容后边。

那是他们的Knol，他们的声音，他们的见解。

我们希望yige一个主题之下会有很多Knols，这样很好。


With Knol, we are introducing a new method for authors to work together that we call "moderated collaboration." With this feature, any reader can make suggested edits to a knol which the author may then choose to accept, reject, or modify before these contributions become visible to the public. This allows authors to accept suggestions from everyone in the world while remaining in control of their content. After all, their name is associated with it!

我们用Knol给作者们提供了一种新的合作方式，

我们称其为：“moderated collaboration”，

在这个特点之下，每一个读者都可以对于一个Knol提出他们自己的建议，并且编辑，

在他们的编辑出现在这个Knol上边之前，

这个Knol的作者将会选择是保留，拒绝，或者修改他们的编辑。

这就意味着作者们可以有选择的听取来自全世界的对他们Knol的建议。

之后，他们的名字就会被一起显示。

Knols include strong community tools which allow for many modes of interaction between readers and authors. People can submit comments, rate, or write a review of a knol. At the discretion of the author, a knol may include ads from our AdSense program. If an author chooses to include ads, Google will provide the author with a revenue share from the proceeds of those ad placements.

Knol有很强的合作工具，这使得读者与作者之间有许多方式可以互动。

大家可以对任何一个Knol，提供注解，评分，或者是发表评论。

在作者方面，也有很大的自由，Knol可以允许作者向他的Knol里投放AdSense广告。

如果作者选择了想自己的Knol里投放广告，

他就可以和Google分享这个广告所带来的收益。

We are happy to announce an agreement with the New Yorker magazine which allows any author to add one cartoon per knol from the New Yorker's extensive cartoon repository. Cartoons are an effective (and fun) way to make your point, even on the most serious topics.

我们很高兴与New Yorker杂志签订了协议，

这意味着，每位作者可以向其一个Knol里边放置一个New Yorker卡痛库的卡通画。

卡通对你表达你的观点很有用（并且很有意思），即使是最严肃的话题。

Everyone knows something. See what people are writing about, then tell the world what you know: knol.google.com

每个人都知道点什么。

看看大家在写什么，然后告诉世界你所知道的：knol.google.com
