English term

flatten out

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) artificial Intelligence
"Robot process automation (RPA) sits there and replaces human middleware," explained Blue Prism CEO Alastair Bathgate in an interview in New York. "If you have 2,000 legacy systems nobody is going to take the time to {flatten all of those systems out}," said Bathgate. "Robotic automation is something you can't see on screen. It replicates what a human would have done."

谢谢诸位!

我觉得jarv给出的“梳理”挺不错!
Lei Gao Sep 21, 2016:
谢谢Frank的解释。《三体》的解释很有意思。
我是因为看到一本英文书里写到the system must deconstruct the object (flatten it out)才更确信flatten out就是一种deconstruct。怎么说呢,IT行业发展得快,字典编纂的时候flatten out可能还没有这方面的引申义。但是我感觉解构(deconstruct)和把。。。展平意思是非常相近的。
Frank Feng Sep 21, 2016:
现在我觉得"解析"的理解还是有些道理的 flatten out的本意就有“把...展平;变平,拉平”的意思,这个直译不就是“扁平化”吗 :-)
就像《三体》里面提到的“降维”,把一个复杂的系统梳理清楚,看看哪些部分可以用robot代替... 稍微引申一下,更确切地说明这个过程的意思,用“解析”应该是可以的
clearwater (asker) Sep 20, 2016:
flatten out的本义如下:
1.把...展平;变平,拉平
2. (俯冲或上升后)改平,恢复平飞
问题是,放在此处如何解释是好。
无论是“解构”还是“扁平化”,都离本义相去甚远。
Lei Gao Sep 20, 2016:
嗯。。。我觉得“搞定”会不会有一点笼统?因为如果我看到一篇文章说“搞定所有的旧系统”我会不太明白具体是什么意思。

根据我查到的英文原文flatten out可以是deconstruct的意思,我自己觉得这个最解释的通,可能“解构”会好一点?
我的第二个选择可能会是扁平化,虽然看起来也有点不明所以,但是可能很多程序员都明白其中意思。
个人意见,供参考啊,多讨论~

再提供一个reference:http://www.oschina.net/question/699232_67662?fromerr=X1arASa... “平面化你的对象 译者注:全篇,序列化和反序列化的说法分别是flatten和inflate,不知道怎么翻译,我翻译成了“平面化”或者“解析“,从字面上,分别就是压扁和使膨胀…可意会不可言传…”

http://www.webkfa.com/one1/w1911.html “再比如 serialize 和 flatten,这两个单词 Java 程序员都熟悉,其它程序员也不会陌生。前者是“序列化”或者“串行化”嘛;后者,嗯,有些人翻译为“扁平化”,还有些人干脆不翻译,就叫 flatten 好了。总之,这两个词都比较难记忆,给其他人解释的时候也很麻烦。”
clearwater (asker) Sep 20, 2016:
是的。我觉得这个短语在这里可以这么处理。但不敢肯定。
Lei Gao Sep 20, 2016:
你说翻译成“搞定”???
clearwater (asker) Sep 20, 2016:
搞定?

梳理

To iron out those ruffled problems.
In my opinion, Jyuan's suggestions and the asker's "搞定" are closer to the point. Mine is just an alternative.

解析

从The Object-Oriented Thought Process这本书里看到这样一句话:
Most companies have all their data in legacy systems and are just starting to explore object databases…
To send an object over a wire, the system must deconstruct the object (flatten it out), send it over the wire, and then reconstruct it on the other end of the wire…
我认为原文是说公司如果有很多旧系统(里面储存了大量数据),应用这些旧系统的时候都要先解析,再重建,是非常费时的。如果用RPA就节省了很多人力。
