Put like that, it's easy to see why Edward Teach and his fellow pirates could be seen as pioneers of modern communications design, and why their deadly symbol --  there's more -- why their deadly symbol of the skull and crossbones was a precursor of today's logos, rather like the big red letters standing behind me, but of course with a different message.
这样看的话， 就很容易理解为什么 爱德华·蒂奇和他的海盗朋友们 能被当作现代传播学的设计先驱， 以及为什么他们的死亡标志  还有—— 为什么他们头骨和交叉骨头的死亡标志 会成为现今标识的前身， 而不是我身后立着的大的红色字母。 当然，这些字母传播着不同的信息。
