青春狂想曲

章节摘录

　　It is a trivial grammar-school text, but yet worthy a wise mans consideration. Question was asked of Demosthenes, what was the chief part of an orator? He answered, action. What next? Action. What next again? Action.　　He said it, that knew it best, and had, by nature, himself no advantage in that he commended. A strange thing, that that part of an orator which is but superficial, and rather the virtue of a player, should be placed so high, above those other noble parts of invention, elocution, and the rest； nay, almost alone, as if it were all in all. But the reason is plain. There is in human nature generally, more of the fool than of the wise； and therefore those faculties, by which the foolish part of mens minds is taken, are most potent.　　Wonderful like is the case of boldness in civil business. What first? Boldness. What second and third? Boldness.　　And yet boldness is a child of ignorance and baseness, far inferior to other parts. But nevertheless it doth fascinate, and bind hand and foot, those that are either shallow in judgment, or weak in courage, which are the greatest part； yea and prevaileth with wise men at weak times.　　Therefore we see it hath done wonders, in popular states； but with senates and princes less； and more ever upon the first entrance of bold persons into action, than soon after； for boldness is an ill keeper of promise. Surely, as there are mountebanks for the natural body, so are there mountebanks for the politic body； men that undertake great cures, and perhaps have been lucky, in two or three experiments, but want the grounds of science, and therefore cannot hold out. Nay, you shall see a bold fellow many times do Mahomets miracle. Mahomet made" the people believe that he would call an hill to him, and from the top of it offer up his prayers, for the observers of his law. The people assembled； Mahomet called the hill to come to him, again and again； and when the hill stood still, he was never a whit abashed, but said, if the hill will not come to Mahomet,　Mahomet will go to the hill. So these men, when they have promised great matters, and failed most shamefully, yet （if they have the perfection of boldness） they will but slight it over, and make a turn, and no more ado.

前言

　　我在美国待了23年，最大的感触就是美国国力的强大。可以说，其国力的强大源于整个国家和民族对于教育的重视和理智，这使得美国无论在科技上还是经济上，都有着源源不断的智力支持。　　这23年来，无论是在大学任教，还是从1998年我受聘微软总部研究院，从事自然语言处理，包括中文文法检错、机器翻译等工作，我和我的美国同事们都相处得非常愉快。他们乐观、积极、幽默。无论是课堂讨论，还是brainstorlm（头脑风暴），多数美国人的交流方式或教学方式都是启发式的，不矫揉、不造作，也不让人难为情。　　我非常支持祖国当前的号召——建设学习型的国家。中国应该学习国外的先进科学技术、先进管理理念，并借鉴西方的教育模式和方法，而所有的这一切，皆始于学习英语。　　我反对把英语学习妖魔化，大多数中国人把英语当做一门知识来学，而英语恰恰如同Dos或是Windows视窗一样，只是一种工具。学习知识，要不厌其精，挖掘越深才越有所得；而掌握一种工具，只有不厌其烦，才能越来越熟练。如果用钻研的态度去研究一种工具，便平添了很大的心理压力，效果自然不佳。　　江涛是我回国后所接触的一批年轻人中有朝气、有理想、有激情、敢于实践自己梦想的一个。他和他的同伴有着开阔的视野，充沛的精力，极强的学习能力、团队合作能力和执行能力。更为重要的是，在我看来，他们还有很珍贵的一点——责任心。
