それはターミナルといって、コンピュータに命令するときに使うの。ターミナルはシェルと呼ばれるプログラムを通じて、コンピュータに命令を伝えているのよ
That’s called a terminal, and it’s used to give commands to the computer. The terminal communicates with the computer through a program called the shell.

そう、pwd。「Print Working Directory」の略よ。コンピュータに、作業中のディレクトリを印字しろって言っているのね。昔は実際に紙に結果を出力していたからね
Yes, pwd. It’s short for “Print Working Directory,” telling the computer to “print the current working directory”. In the past, they used to actually print the results on paper.

ターミナルって、テキストを打ってコンピュータをお話できていいね
Typing in the terminal makes it feel like you’re talking directly to the computer, doesn’t it?

インターフェースは、2つの異なるものがうまくやり取りできるように手助けするものよ。たとえば、ユーザがクリックすると、インターフェースがコンピュータに「これをしたい」って伝えてくれるの
An interface helps two different things work together. For example, when the user clicks, the interface tells the computer what the user wants to do.

対照的に、「CUI（Character User Interface）」と呼ばれてるわ。Characterってここでは文字の意味ね。だけど英語圏では、「CLI（Command Line Interface）」と呼ぶのが主流よ
In contrast, it’s called “CUI (Character User Interface)” in Japan. Here, “character” means text. But in English-speaking regions, it’s more commonly called ‘CLI (Command Line Interface).
