The result was Linux, which worked nearly the same as its forebear and could run the same free and open-source software, but had been purged of conflicts with Unix's intellectual property rights.(就是現在Linux，它運行起來與Unix幾乎一模一樣并且可以運行同樣的自由和開源軟件，而且已經證明與Unix之間不存在知識產權沖突。)

Portal 2 May not quite pack the same lightning-in-a-bottle sense of revelation as its forebear, but it succeeds admirably at following in its storytelling footsteps.(傳送門2可能不完全像上一部作品那樣充滿“瓶中閃電”似的、令人耳目一新創(chuàng)意，但是在劇情方面異曲同工，取得了值得稱道的成就。)

Our forebear might even teach us a few old tricks that could be used to help the living.(祖先甚至可以教我們一些有助于生活的古老竅門。)

The Easter Hare (the Bunny’s forebear), which first appeared in German folklore, would not be impressed.(聽到這個，復活節(jié)野兔(EasterHare)（復活節(jié)兔子的祖先）一定會覺得很不爽；它最早的亮相就是在德國民間傳說中。)
