谁是UML中的三个朋友？
THE THREE AMIGOS
By the beginning of the nineties, a large number of books on object-oriented (OO) software modeling had been published, and a large number of graphical notations had been introduced.
到九十年代初，已经出版了大量关于面向对象（OO）软件建模的书籍，并且引入了大量的图形符号。
It took a few years until the wheat separated from the chaff and a modeling standard eventually emerged.
花费了几年的时间才将小麦从谷壳中分离出来，最终出现了一种模拟标准。
The decisive progress came about in 1995 when Grady Booch and Jim Rumbaugh announced the combining of their concepts into a Unified Method.
1995年，当Grady Booch和Jim Rumbaugh宣布将他们的概念结合到统一方法中时，取得了决定性的进展。
Soon their Unified Method became the Unified Modeling Language, a term that clearly indicates a language that comprises semantics and a uniform notation rather than a methodology or approach to object-oriented software development.
不久，他们的统一方法就成为统一建模语言，这个术语清楚地表明了一种语言，它包含语义和统一符号，而不是面向对象软件开发的方法。
Booch and Rumbaugh were soon joined by Ivar Jacobson, and the three have henceforth been called the “Three Amigos” in the world of software engineering and information technology (IT).
Booch 和 Rumbaugh 很快加入了 Ivar Jacobson，三人今后被称为软件工程和信息技术（IT）领域的 “三友”。
Because the books written by Booch, Rumbaugh ,and Jacobson were very popular and enjoyed a large market share,
由于Boolch，Rumbaugh和Jacobson编写的书籍非常受欢迎并且享有很大的市场份额，
by the time the UML was born, the majority of professionals were well acquainted with the work of the three pioneers.
所以在UML诞生之时，大多数专业人士对于三位先行者的工作表示出了赞同。
Thus, when UML appeared, it was eagerly received and soon became a quasi standard among software professionals,
因此，当UML出现时，它很受欢迎，很快成为软件专业人员中的准标准。
Eventually, UML Version 1.1 was submitted to the Object Management Group (OMG) for standardization and accepted in 1997.
最终，UML Version 1.1被提交给对象管理组织（OMG）进行标准化并于1997年被接受。
Since then, the UML has been further developed by the OMG. Later, the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) also accepted UML as a standard.
自那时起，UML得到了OMG的进一步发展。后来，ISO（国际组织标准化组织）也接受了UML标准。
