More Kirk, less Spock
这是来自 Quora 的一个问题: How would you describe your user experience design philosophy in one sentence? 得票最高的是一个设计师 Brandon Harris 的答案:
More Kirk, less Spock
作者在给一位母语为非英语的用户解释时说:
It's a reference to the science fiction television series, "Star Trek". In the show, Kirk was a starship captain who was known for being emotional, direct, and clever while-yet remaining "simple." Spock, by contrast, was an alien scientist who was extremely clinical, logical, complicated, and exact in everything he did.
他的答案背景来自于著名科幻系列剧《星际迷航》原初系列 -Star TrekThe Original Series (Star Trek: TOS or TOS) ,里面的太空探险船企业家号的船长 James T. Kirk 是人类,果断、勇敢、人性化,而企业号上的首席科学官 Spock 则是 Vulcan 星人, 强调任何决策、行为均需符合逻辑。
“More Kirk, less Spock”,这句话很有张力,让人想起 Dieter Rams 的 “Weniger, aber besser”。
我想,Brandon Harris 想表达的也就是“ Keep it simple, stupid” ,多点禅性,少点理性吧。你怎么看?告诉我们~
