C is created in 1972

C语言与1972年开发出来 【维基百科: C】

Smalltalk的诞生

Then in the 80s

到了80年代

Smalltalk, the 1^st Object Oriented Programming language is invented.

产生了第一个面向对象的编程语言Smalltalk【维基百科: Smalltalk】

C++的诞生

Following is the invention of C++, branching out its own paradigm afterwards

接着C++被发明出来，并按照自己的思想开辟了一篇天空【维基百科: C++】

Objective C的诞生

In the 1986 however, based the ideology of Smalltalk and the core of C

接着基于

1. Smalltalk 语言思想

2. C的语言的代码核心

Objective C is invented.

在1986年产生了Objective-C.

C++类语言和Objective C有什么区别?

A fundamental difference remains for these 2 programming languages

这里有一个典型的区别：

Although languages like C++, C# and Java are all C based languages

C++, C#, Java虽然都是基于C的语言基础的

They are all designed from the ground up to have their own identity

但是他们都是从根部重新设计的语言

There are core difference between them and C in their syntax, compiling method and such.

语法，编译模式等等的都和C具有根本性的差别。

----------------------------------------------

Objective-C on the other hand is not a redesigned language

而Objective-C并不是从根部开始重新设计的一门语言

It is completely C based

他是完全以C语言为基础的

Plus very much all kinds of libraries

在C语言上加入了很多开发包后产生的一门语言

One example clearly distinguishes these 2 kinds:

一个这个区别的典型体现是：

A C program written in the 70s is expected run perfectly in an Objective C environment

我可以把197几年写的C程序在Objective-C环境里面完好的运行

With C# and Java however, it won’t compile.

但是在C#或者Java中就不行了。

----------------------------------------------

Question: What do I mean by “Objective C environment?”

问题:什么是是Objective-C环境

----------------------------------------------

C++ is a special case for that matter

C++是则是一个有些特殊的案例

Since it has a closer relationship with C than Java or C#

他比C#或者Java更加的亲和C语言

For that, one would expect many C programs to run in a C++ environment

很多的C语言的源代码在C++上面同样能够运行

However it is not a superset of C like Objective C

但是他并不是像Objective C一样是一个C语言+类库的一个C语言的扩展

Many C programs will NOT run in the C++ environment.

很多C程序并不能在C++的环境中很好的运行【维基百科: C++语言】

Keep up with our progress in history

接着走我们的历史

Here comes 1988

在1988年

The year Objective C is adopted as the core programing language for NeXT

NeXT公司(1985年成立: 维基百科)把Objective C作为自己的核心语言

A company founded by Steve Jobs in 1985(He was fired by apple the same year)

公司总裁就是在1985年被Apple开除的史蒂夫·乔布斯。

NeXTStep OS

NeXT then pushed out NeXTStep Operating system in 1989

NeXT公司在1989年推出了NeXTStep 1.0操作系统【维基百科: NeXTStep】

An operating system based purely on Objective C

此操作系统完全基于Objective C

NeXT is acquired by apple the following year

在NeXTStep操作系统推出后一年Apple买下了NeXT公司

and what’s formally know as the “NeXTStep OS” becomes…

并把NeXTStep操作系统变成了…

Mac OS X 10

Mac OS X 10 操作系统。【维基百科: Mac OS X 10】

This is why X is chosen to be the symbol for Mac Operating Systems

这也是为什么Mac的操作系统里的符号X，因为它来自于NeXT

With iPhone being introduced to the world in 2007

iPhone在2007年问世

Objective C 2.0 is introduced to both platforms

其操作系统基于Max OS X10.5

其编程语言变成了新一个版本的Objective C 2.0

在2009年 OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard(雪豹)

iPad在2010年诞生

Finally, up till 2011, the following structure is built up, with the upper relying on the lower

发展到2011年，发展出了以下的体系：

An with 30 years of development, Objective C became the core of the apple infrastructure which is based on Max OS X

经过30余年的发展，Objective C成为了 以Max OS X操作系统为核心的苹果世界的编程语言。
