Java is designed to meet the challenges of application development in the context of heterogeneous, network-wide distributed environments. Paramount among these challenges is secure delivery of applications that consume the minimum of system resources, can run on any hardware and software platform, and can be extended dynamically.

Java是为了解决在复杂的、大规模分布式网络环境下开发应用程序的挑战而设计的。其中最大的一个挑战是确保交付的程序：占用最少的系统资源,并且能在任何硬件、软件平台下运行，能被动态扩展。

Java originated as part of a research project to develop advanced software for a wide variety of network devices and embedded systems. The goal was to develop a small, reliable, portable, distributed, real-time operating platform. When the project started, C++ was the language of choice. But over time the difficulties encountered with C++ grew to the point where the problems could best be addressed by creating an entirely new language platform. Design an architecture decisions drew from a variety of language such as Eiffel, SmallTalk, Objective, C, and Cedar/Mesa. The result is a language platform that has proven ideal for developing secure, distributed, network based end-user applications in environments ranging from network-embedded devices to the World-Wide-Web an the desktop.

Java最初只是一个为各种网络和嵌入式设备而研究的软件系统的一部分，这个系统的目标是一个小的、可信赖的、可移植的，分布式的、实时的平台。最开始C++语言是这个平台的首选。但随着时间的推移，C++出现了很多问题，有必要开发一个全新的语言平台。我们根据Eiffel, SmallTalk, Objective, C, and Cedar/Mesa等语言来做出决策，结果是开发出了一个理想的、能在从嵌入式网络设备到万维网到桌面等各种环境下方便的开发安全的、分布的、基于网络的应用程序的平台。

`The design requirements of Java are driven by the nature of the computing environments in which software must be deployed.

Java的设计要求是由软件所部署的计算环境的本质决定的.

The massive growth of the Internet and the World-Wide Web leads us to a completely new way of looking at development and distribution of software. To live in the world of electronic commerce and distribution, Java technology must enable the development of secure, high performance, and highly robust applications on multiple platforms in heterogeneous, distributed networks.

互联网和万维网的快速发展带领我们用新的眼光去看待开发和发布软件。在电子商务的时代，Java必须具有开发安全性、高效性、健壮的、大众的、能在多平台和多样化、分布式网络运行的程序。

Operating on multiple platforms in heterogeneous networks invalidates the traditional schemes of binary distribution , release, upgrade, patch, and so on. To survive in this jungle, java must be architecture neutral, portable, and dynamically adaptable.

为了能在异构网络的多个平台上执行二进制发布、升级、修补等计划的环境中发展，Java必须是总体结构不带偏向性的、可移植的、且能动态地自适应的。
