raw  adj 原始的  之前查过一次，但是很快就又忘了，今天又见到这个词，足见这个词使用频率很高

例子：

（1）短语：raw material 原料，   in the raw 处于自然状态；未开化的；裸体，   raw water n. 未净化的水

（2）句子：Use hogan.compile() to precompile your templates into vanilla JS. It's best to serve your templates precompiled whenever you can (rather than the raw templates), as parsing is the most time consuming operation(最耗时的操作).

bulk  n. 体积，容量；大多数，大部分；大块 vt. 使扩大，使形成大量；使显得重要

in bulk 整批，散装；大批，大量

Adding and removing models one at a time is all well and good, but sometimes you have so many models to change that you'd rather just update the collection in bulk

有一大段，得好好翻译：

hand off   移交   be handed off 被移交

behave     vi. 表现；行为举止

All attached callbacks are bound (绑定) to the view before being handed off (移交) to jQuery, so when the callbacks are invoked, this continues to refer to the view object. When delegateEvents is run again, perhaps with a different events hash, all callbacks are removed and delegated afresh — useful for views which need to behave differently when in different modes.

所有附加回调函数都在切换至jQuery之前绑定到view，因此当回调函数被调用时，this继续指向View对象。

当代理事件再次运行时，可能与不同的散列事件一起，所有回调函数将被移除和重新委托，这对视图在不同的model里需要不同的表现非常有用。

 

interpolate  vt. 篡改；插入新语句  vi. 插入；

interpolated   adj 内嵌的

Because Underscore.js is already on the page, _.template is available, and is an excellent choice if you prefer simple interpolated-JavaScript style templates.

while     conj. 虽然；然而；当……的时候

例子：While templating for a view isn't a function provided directly by Backbone, it's often a nice convention to define a template function on your views.

翻译：虽然视图模板不是由backbone直接提供，但它通常是一个友好的规范，对于定义一个模板函数在你的视图中。

 

In this fashion    照这样     

例子：In this fashion, views can be rendered at any time, and inserted into the DOM all at once, in order to get high-performance UI rendering with as few reflows and repaints as possible.

declarative  adj. 宣言的；陈述的，说明的

Get started with views by creating a custom view class. You'll want to override the render function, specify your declarative events, and perhaps the tagName,className, or id of the View's root element.

digging into  深入挖掘

Instead of digging into a JSON object, looking up an element in the DOM, and updating the HTML by hand, you can bind your view's render function to the model's "change" event — and now everywhere that model data is displayed in the UI, it is always immediately up to date.

 

general   adj. 一般的，普通的；综合的；大体的     n. 一般；将军，上将；常规

例子：The general idea is to organize your interface into logical views, backed by models, each of which can be updated independently when the model changes, without having to redraw the page.翻译：总体思路是......。我看到general的第一反应是“一般的idea”，实际是总体的、大体的思路。

 

大段描述，生词较多，暂不一一列出：

Web applications often provide linkable, bookmarkable(可作标签的), shareable URLs for important locations in the app. Until recently, hash fragments (#page) (散列片段)were used to provide these permalinks(永久链接), but with the arrival of the History API, it's now possible to use standard URLs (/page). Backbone.Router provides methods for routing client-side pages, and connecting them to actions and events. For browsers which don't yet support the History API, the Router handles graceful fallback and transparent translation to the fragment version of the URL.

翻译：Web应用经常为一些重要应用的地址提供一些可链接的的，可做标签的，可共享的 URLs。直到最近，散列片段被用来提供永久链接，但是随着History API的到来，现在使用标准URL成为可能。 Backbone.Router提供了路由客户端页面的方法，并将它们与动作，事件建立联系。对于那些不支持History API的浏览器，Backbone.Router将优雅的回退，透明的转回散列片段方式处理。

pluck    vt/vi  摘；拔；扯  n勇气；内脏；快而猛的拉    He plucked a sheet of paper from his notebook

alert(chapters.pluck('title'));

arity    n. 参数数量

Note that Backbone depends on the arity of your comparator function to determine between the two styles, so be careful if your comparator function is bound(绑定).

comparator    n 比较器

By default there is no comparator for a collection. If you define a comparator, it will be used to maintain the collection in sorted order.

indicating    

• n. 表明；指示
• v. 表明；指示；要求（indicate的ing形式）
• adj. 指示的

A comparator can be defined as a sortBy (pass a function that takes a single argument), as a sort (pass a comparator function that expects two arguments), or as a string indicating the attribute to sort by.

chapters.comparator = 'page';

polymorphic    adj. [生物] 多态的；[生物] 多形的；多形态的；

例子：A collection can also contain polymorphic models by overriding this property with a constructor(n. 构造函数；构造器) that returns a model.

raw   adj 原始的 未处理的 未加工的 粗糙的  n 擦伤处 vt 擦伤

例子：parse is called whenever a model's data is returned by the server, in fetch, and save. The function is passed the raw response object, and should return the attributes hash to be set on the model.

straightforward   adj. 简单的；坦率的；明确的；径直的       adv. 直截了当地；坦率地

 It's often a straightforward(简单的) serialization(串行化) of a row from the database, but it could also be client-side computed state.

eg:A special property of models, the id is an arbitrary string (integer id or UUID).

 

transparently  adv 显然地，易觉察地；明亮地

A model's unique identifier is stored under the id attribute. If you're directly communicating with a backend (CouchDB, MongoDB) that uses a different unique key, you may set a Model's idAttribute to transparently map from that key to id.

 

convention   n [计] 约定    n. 大会；[法] 惯例；[计] 约定；[法] 协定；习俗

例子：Backbone views are almost more convention than they are code — they don't determine anything about your HTML or CSS for you, and can be used with any JavaScript templating library. 翻译：Backbone的view几乎是惯例超过它们的代码。

conversion  n 转换，变换；[金融]兑换   conversion rate 汇率；折合率；兑换率

emit   vt. 发出，放射；发行；发表

例子：Generally speaking, when calling a function that emits an event (model.set,collection.add, and so on...), if you'd like to prevent the event from being triggered, you may pass {silent: true} as an option.

• adj. 平凡的；陈腐的

In an ecosystem where overarching, decides-everything-for-you frameworks are commonplace, and many libraries require your site to be reorganized to suit their look, feel, and default behavior — Backbone should continue to be a tool that gives you the freedom to design the full experience of your web application.

 

predecessor  n 前驱，前任者，前辈；前身，被取代的原有事物

successor     n 接替的人或事物，继承人，继任者

举例：The present scheduling algorithms(调度算法) are mostly based on task duplication, and the dependence between the predecessor tasks and successor tasks is not well taken into account.
