How did the idea for doodles originate?
（信手）塗鴉，好玩，令人驚訝，而且有時就是自發的行為，往往別具壹格具有欣賞和娛樂趣味的變幻效果，人們把它們制作到谷歌徽標中來慶祝假日，周年紀念，和慶典著名藝術家，先驅者，和科學家等。那麽，信手塗鴉的理念開始是如何“起源”的呢？
In 1998, before the company was even incorporated, the concept of the doodle was born when Google founders Larry and Sergey played with the corporate logo to indicate their attendance at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. They placed a stick figure drawing behind the 2nd "o" in the word, Google, and the revised logo was intended as a comical message to Google users that the founders were "out of office." While the first doodle was relatively simple, the idea of decorating the company logo to celebrate notable events was born.
1998年，早在該公司合並之前，塗鴉的理念就誕生了，當時谷歌創建人Larry 和 Sergey 兩人用公司標識壹起娛樂玩耍，以表明他們在(美國的)內華達沙漠已經來到“火人節”的現場。他們把壹個火柴人的素描圖放到 Google（這個)詞的第2個字母 “o” 的後面，當時這個改進的徽標是想給谷歌用戶壹個滑稽可娛樂的“信息”而已，意思是Google的創建人（Larry 和 Sergey）他們都“離職”了。然而盡管開始的第壹個塗鴉制作的相當的簡單，但是，“對該公司的徽標進行裝飾或者修改 從而來慶祝重大事件”---的 理念---還是誕生了。
Two years later in 2000, Larry and Sergey asked current webmaster Dennis Hwang, an intern at the time, to produce a doodle for Bastille Day. It was so well received by our users that Dennis was appointed Google's chief doodler and doodles started showing up more and more regularly on the Google homepage. In the beginning, the doodles mostly celebrated familiar holidays; nowadays, they highlight a wide array of events and anniversaries from the Birthday of John James Audubon to the Ice Cream Sundae.
Over time, the demand for doodles has risen in the U.S. and internationally. Creating doodles is now the responsibility of a team of talented illustrators (we call them doodlers) and engineers. For them, creating doodles has become a group effort to enliven the Google homepage and bring smiles to the faces of Google users around the world.
兩年之後，2000年，Larry 和 Sergey 兩人請當時還是實習生的網絡管理員丹尼斯. 黃（Dennis Hwang）為巴士底日（7月14日， 法國國慶日） 創作壹個塗鴉。當時這個塗鴉深受用戶的好評，以至於丹尼斯被任命為谷歌的首席塗鴉制作家，於是，塗鴉開始在谷歌的主頁定期地出現，而且出現的越來越多。起初，塗鴉大部分是慶祝熟悉的節假日的； 如今，塗鴉慶祝所關註的重大事件和紀念日的範圍更廣泛了----從Audubon John James （藝術家奧杜邦·約翰·詹姆斯）的生日到冰淇淋聖代（Ice Cream Sundae）等等塗鴉都關註。
隨著時間的推移，塗鴉的需求呼聲不僅在美國而且在全世界都與日俱增。如今，創作塗鴉是插圖畫家（我們稱之為塗鴉制作家）和（網絡）工程師們***同組成的精英小組的責任和義務，對他們而言，為了使谷歌的主頁生動活潑，為了給全世界的谷歌用戶帶來笑容，創作塗鴉需要他們群策群力。
How many doodles has Google done over the years?
這些年來，谷歌已經制作了多少塗鴉？
The team has created over 1000 doodles for our homepages around the world.
精英小組已經為我們的全世界的（谷歌）主頁創作了超過1000張塗鴉圖片。
Who chooses what doodles will be created and how do you decide which events will receive doodles?
（1）“什麽樣的塗鴉”才可能被（人們）創作？---這個問題是有誰來選擇的？（2）對於 --“究竟是哪壹種事件才能夠'接收'塗鴉”---這件事情妳是如何來做決定的？
A group of Googlers get together regularly to brainstorm and decide which events will be celebrated with a doodle. The ideas for the doodles come from numerous sources including Googlers and Google users. The doodle selection process aims to celebrate interesting events and anniversaries that reflect Google's personality and love for innovation.
谷歌人的群體小組會定期聚會，他們集思廣益，從而決定出到底是哪些事件才可以用塗鴉來慶祝，塗鴉的理念（來自的）源頭很多，包括谷歌人和谷歌用戶。塗鴉選拔過程的目的旨在慶祝“誕生日”和“周年紀念日”，這些紀念日可以反射出谷歌的人性的品格和對創新的熱愛。
