漫漫人生路

章节摘录

　　I believe it is possible for ordinary people to achieve extraordinary things. For me, the difference between an "ordinary" and an "extraordinary" person is not the title that person might have, but what they do to make the world a better place for us all.　　I have no idea why people choose to do what they do. When I was a kid I didnt know what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I did know what I didnt want to do. I didnt want to grow up, have kids, get married, the whole white picket fence thing. And I certainly didnt think about being an activist. I didnt even really know what one was.　　My older brother was born deaf. Growing up, I ended up defending him and I often think that is what started me on my path to whatever it is I am today.　　When I was approached with the idea of trying to create a landmine campaign, we were just three people in a small office in Washington DC in late 1991. I certainly had more than a few ideas about how to begin a campaign, but what if nobody cared? What if nobody responded? But I knew the only way to answer those questions was to accept the challenge.　　If I have any power as an individual, its because I work with other individuals in countries all over the world. We are ordinary people： My friend Jemma from Armenia； Paul from Canada； Kosal, a landmine survivor from Cambodia； Haboubba from Lebanon； Christian from Norway； Diana from Colombia； Margaret, another landmine survivor from Uganda； and thousands more. Weve all worked together to bring about extraordinary change. The landmine campaign is not just about landmines —— its about the power of individuals to work with governments in a different way.　　I believe in both my right and my responsibility to work to create a　world that doesnt glorify violence and war, but where we seek different　solutions to our common problems. I believe that these days, daring to voice　your opinion, daring to find out information from a variety of sources, can be　an act of courage.

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。
