  A MARTINEZ, HOST:

  马丁内斯,主持人:

  Good morning. I'm A Martinez.

  早上好我是马丁内斯。

  "Pong" was one of the first arcade games in the 1970s, which eventually spawned Atari's "Home Pong." An original prototype of the video game system was auctioned5 off for more than $270,000. The creator said, when moving into the home market, they needed to make sure it was sold at a price people could afford, which back then was 55 bucks6. And my family set up ours on our ping pong table, which I always found ironic7.

  “乒乓球”是20世纪70年代最早的街机游戏之一,最终催生了雅达利的“家庭乒乓球”。视频游戏系统的原始原型以超过27万美元的价格被拍卖。创作者表示,当他们进入国内市场时,他们需要确保以人们能负担得起的价格出售,当时的价格是55美元。我的家人把我们的桌子放在乒乓球桌上,我总是觉得这很讽刺。

  It's MORNING EDITION.

  这是早晨版。
