双向链接的简短历史
, the idea of bi-directional linking is having a bit of a moment.
在这一过程中，双向链接的想法正在发生变化。
We're all very used to the mono-directional link the World Wide Web is built around. They act as one-way pointers we follow in a linear sequence.
我们都非常习惯于万维网所建立的单方向链接。它们作为单向的指针，我们按照线性的顺序进行操作。
While we can link to any site, the destination page hasn't a clue we've done so.
虽然我们可以链接到任何网站，但目的地页面并不知道我们已经这样做了。
We set up all these single direction paths, trying to signal relevance and context, only to have the other side completely ignore our efforts.
我们设置了所有这些单一方向的路径，试图发出相关性和背景信号，但对方却完全无视我们的努力。
Our monolinks are trying to establish relationships in vain.
我们的单链在试图建立关系，但却徒劳无功。
We're starting to look around our mono-linked environment, and wonder why it's so hard to surface relevant, contextual relationships.
我们开始环顾我们的单链环境，想知道为什么浮现相关的、上下文的关系是如此困难。
Manually interlinking content takes an awful lot of human curation and effort. Effort we should probably slog off onto our systems.
人工连接内容需要大量的人工策划和努力。我们也许应该把这些努力放到我们的系统中去。

A bi-directional link has social awareness - it knows about other pages or 'nodes' that point to it, and can make them visible to people. This means we get a two-way conversation flowing between our web locations.
双向链接具有社会意识--它知道指向它的其他网页或 "节点"，并能使它们对人们可见。这意味着我们的网络位置之间有一个双向的对话流。
