今天,9月27日是谷歌15 歲的生日。其實(shí),關(guān)于谷歌的官方生日,科技界眾說紛紜。有報(bào)道稱,組建谷歌公司的文件登記于1998年9月4日,該公司三天后成立,域名于9月15日注冊。然而,谷歌官方卻把生日定在了每年的9月27日,并從2002年開始,在谷歌生日當(dāng)天在谷歌首頁上發(fā)布一個(gè)Google Doodle來慶生。

今年,Google首頁如期換了一個(gè)新的生日Doodle,蛋糕上面標(biāo)有 15 字樣的蠟燭。此次Doodle是一個(gè)敲糖果的小游戲。這個(gè)敲糖果的小游戲英文名叫pinata,來源于西班牙語的pi?ata。在谷歌首頁的這個(gè)游戲中,通過操作空格鍵來把小木棍敲向裝有糖果的小罐子,擊中罐子后,糖果即會(huì)落地得分。

What's pinata:
Pinata is a Spanish word, and if you want to sound like you are in the know at the school gates or at work, it is pronounced Pin-yah-ta. The word is derived from the Spanish verb apinar, meaning to join, or to bind in a bundle. A Pinata is a hand-made papier-maché and cardboard model decorated with brightly coloured tissue paper, designed to be filled with sweets, small toys and treats. Made to be broken, these models are nevertheless fashioned with enormous care and come in all shapes and sizes, from traditionally shaped stars to contemporary footballs. ?
