42 Hot Free Linux Games (Part 1 of 3)
42个热门免费Linux游戏(Part 1 of 3)
I will never forget my computer science teacher's belief that games are only an initial distraction to the world of computing for people interested in computers. He perceived that budding programmers could only be fixated on games for up to 6 months. After that, coders would start to use computers more productively, learning earnestly about the operating system and writing system and application software.
我从未忘记我的计算机老师的看法：对于对计算机有兴趣的人，是游戏最初把他们吸引到计算世界。他曾意识到只有编程初学者能迷恋游戏尽6个月。这之后，他们将开始更高效地使用计算机，认真地学习操作系统和编写系统和应用软件。
However, the reality of the matter is that programmers of all ages enjoy playing games. When Linux was in its infancy, games were few and far between. Over the years, this imbalance has been addressed, and thousands of native Linux games are now available to download, the vast majority of which are released under freely distributable licenses.
可是，事实是所有年龄的程序员都喜欢玩游戏。当Linux处在它的幼儿期时，游戏是不多见的。经过这么多年，这种不平衡已得到解决，现在成千的原生Linux游戏可以被下载，它们的绝大多数是在自由分发的许可证下发布的。
The myths persist, however, when it comes to Linux. In the eyes of many computer users, Linux is perceived as largely functional, mostly restricted to running servers, office tasks and web browsing. However, there is a wide and ever growing range of native Linux games available, but given the range, it can be hard to identify which ones are worth a spin. We hope this article will unite gamers with some really exciting titles.
可是当涉及到Linux，人们的认识没有改变。在很多计算机用户眼中，Linux被认为主要功能局限于运行服务器，办公任务和网页浏览。可是有广泛的并且正在增长的原生Linux游戏存在，在这个范围内，很难鉴定哪些游戏值得关注。我们希望这篇文章通过一些很刺激的游戏把大家凝聚起来。
This article is the first in a three part series entitled 42 Hot Free Linux Games. Parts 2 and 3 will be available shortly.
