1
The first of Jacob Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics is visibility of system status.
2
This heuristic refers to how well the state of a system is conveyed to its users.
3
Systems should always keep users informed about what is going on through appropriate feedback within a reasonable time.
4
Imagine waiting for an elevator.
5
You press the call button and expect it to light up to reflect
6
that the system knows you're waiting and will send an elevator soon.
7
You might even be able to see what floor that elevator is currently at, so you can gauge how long you'll need to wait.
8
That knowledge is power.
9
Open communication between the system and the user not only allows you to understand what is happening, but also empowers you to make decisions based on that information.
10
Consider what information about a system the user needs to know and present that to them in a timely manner.
11
This system status could be persistent or always visible, like a battery life or Wi -Fi connection indicator,
12
or it can be feedback that is only shown after the user has done something.
13
Just like when pressing that elevator button, feedback is critical to let people know their interactions with a system were acknowledged and successful.
14
On a website or app, we expect visual feedback when we click an element, which can be as simple as changing the button color and where appropriate displaying a progress indicator.
15
People should feel confident that their click was recognized and that the system is now working on the request.
16
Understanding a system's current state is all about allowing users to feel in control.
17
That said, providing visibility into the system does not mean you need to tell the user absolutely everything the system is doing.
18
Don't provide system status updates if the user can't do anything with that feedback anyway.
19
Too much information is distracting, so focus on only those key pieces of information that will truly be helpful or provide reassurance to the user.
20
The visibility of system status heuristic highlights the importance of open and continuous communication, which is fundamental to all relationships,
21
whether with people or with our devices.
22
It's the key to making a system feel reliable and predictable, which in turn creates trust.

影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | is conveyed · is only shown · were acknowledged |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | element, which can · communication, which is |
需要注意的發音
說話人用了 4 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 can't, don't, you'll。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: elevator /ˈɛləˌveɪtɚ/, visibility /ˌvɪz.əˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/, indicator /ˈɪn.dɪˌkeɪ.tə(ɹ)/, fundamental /ˌfʌn.dəˈmɛn.təl/, interaction /ˌɪn.təˈɹæk.ʃən/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音：
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: elevator /ˈɛləˌveɪtɚ/, visibility /ˌvɪz.əˈbɪl.ɪ.ti/, visible /ˈvɪzɪb(ə)l/, convey /kənˈveɪ/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: feedback /ˈfiːdˌbæk/, element /ˈɛləmənt/, reflect /ɹɪˈflɛkt/, continuous /kənˈtɪn.juː.əs/, highlight /ˈhaɪˌlaɪt/
- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: reflect /ɹɪˈflɛkt/, reliable /ɹɪˈlaɪəbl̩/, predictable /pɹəˈdɪktəbləl/
如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。
- 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟讀，熟練之後再回到正常速度。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 feedback, visibility, indicator 這類單詞。
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
