Rather than having to physically plug in cables to activate certain functions, this could also be done with huge panels full of switches and buttons.

无需物理插入电缆来激活某些功能，这也可以通过装满开关和按钮的巨大面板来完成。

It looked like the cockpit of an airplane, except that some of the switches and buttons said things like " record" and " power, " and others said things like " doo-wah." I didn't know what it was.

它看起来像飞机的驾驶舱，只不过一些开关和按钮说的是“录音”和“电源”之类的东西，而另一些开关和按钮则说的是“嘟哇”之类的东西。我不知道那是什么。
