“Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer… because it teaches you how to think.” – Steve Jobs
“这个国家的每个人都应该学习如何写计算机程序…...因为它教你如何思考。” ——史蒂夫-乔布斯

第一次接触到啊…...一台计算机时,我13岁时。

I learned to code in college.

学校不会教你的事
Freshman year, first semester, umm… Intro to Computer Science.
大一,第一个学期,嗯…计算器概论。
I wrote a program that played Tic-Tac-Toe.
我写了个软件会玩井字游戏。
I think it’s pretty humble at beginnings. I think the first program I wrote asked things like “What’s your favorite color?” or “How old are you?”
我认为一开始非常粗糙。我想我写的第一个程序会问像是“什么是你最喜欢的颜色?” 或 “你几岁?” 的问题。
I first learned how to make a green circle, and a red square appeared on the screen.

The first time I actually had something come up and say, “Hello, world!” And it… I made a computer do that, which was astonishing.
我第一次让电脑说出:“Hello, world!” 的时候,那种感觉非常神奇。
Learning how to program didn’t start off as wanting to learn all of computer science or umm… or trying to master this discipline or anything like that. It just started off because I wanted to do this one simple thing: I wanted to make something that was fun for myself and my sisters, and I wrote this little program… and then basically just added a little bit to it. And then when I needed to learn something new, I looked it up, either on a book or on the internet, and then I added a little bit to it.
学习如何写程序并非从想要学会所有计算机科学,或试着精通这门学问或任何像那样的事情开始。它(facebook)这就开始了,只因我想做这件简单的事情:我想为我自己和我姊妹们做出某个有趣的东西,然后我写出这小程序…接着基本上就是给它加上一点东西。然后当我需要学点新东西时,我不是从一本书就是从网络上查询,接着我给它加点东西。
It’s really not… unlike kinda playing instrument or something, or… or… you know, or playing sports. It starts out being very intimidating, but you kinda get the hang of it over time.
编程并不像演奏乐器或是参加体育运动。开始可能会觉得比较南入门,但你花一些时间就能掌握技巧。
Coding… It is something that can be learned. And I know it can be intimidating… A lot of things are intimidating. But ugh… you know, what isn’t?
写程序…...那是一个可以学会的东西。肯定很难入门,我知道很多事情都很难学。但是为什么不去学呢?
A lot of the coding that people do is actually fairly simple. Umm… it’s… it’s more about the process of breaking down problems than… ugh… you know, sort of coming up with complicated algorithms as people traditionally think about it.
人们写的很多程序实际上是相当简单的。他们做的更多的是分析问题的程序,而不是像人们一般认为的创造出复杂的算法。
You don’t have to be a genius to know how to code. You need to be determined.
你不需要成为一个天才去了解如何写程序。你得要是十分坚定的。

中国地名英译的几点注意事项
地名是历史的产物,是国家领土主权的象征,是日常生活的向导,是社会交往的媒介。在信息化社会中,地名在国际政治、经济、外交、外贸、科技、文化交流、新闻出版以及社会生活方面都起着非常重要的作用。
用汉语拼音字母拼写中国地名,不仅是中国的统一标准,而且是国际标准,全世界都要遵照使用。根据笔者英译中国地名的体会,本文拟谈谈中国地名英译的几点注意事项,供译者和读者参考。
一、专名是单音节的英译法
专名是单音节,通名也是单音节,这时通名应视作专名的组成部分,先音译并与专名连写,后重复意译,分写(汉字带点的字是通名,英语的画线部分是音译;括号内为该地所在省、市、地区或县,下同)例如:
1、恒山 Hengshan Mountain (山西)
2、淮河 the Huaihe River (河南、安徽、江苏)
3、巢湖 the Chaohu Lake (安徽)
4、渤海 the Bohai Sea (辽宁、山东)
