我们专业的课有些不一样。我的很多同学是几乎天天实验，有的经常考试。我们这两项都没有，我们有的是一门接一门的作业。
上一个星期就又是一个作业密集周，和刚开学时的日子有了明显的不同。那时除了能把从伦理课上思考的东西写下来发表在这里，还可以在业余时间翻译一下Guido van Rossum的关于Python历史的blog。他的这个系列的blog讲一门开发语言的历史，没有太多的技术细节，因此我的翻译标准很低，遣词造句就不过于考虑了（经过这次翻译，我明显感觉到英语的从句很难优美的转换成中文），只要读者能大概理解意思就OK。这样翻译起来不难，速度也不满，基本上一篇文章我花一个小时左右就能出炉。这个blog我是从头开始翻译的，从我的经验来看，没有同时的其它中文翻译者。所以我肯定会坚持下去。到昨天为止，我一共落下了三篇没有翻。正好今天的作业交了，下周又没课，应该会很快补上。
尽量减少阅读科技资料，把重点放在人文、哲学方面的文章上。
理由：训练思维。语言上的逻辑思维和公式上的逻辑思维有区别。
This article is my first assignment of “Computer Ethics”. The assignment asked us to read Bill Joy’s article “Why the future doesn’t need us” and write a summary. Also, our opinion of this article is also required. The following word is my work.
On the just finished “Professional Practice in Computer Science” class, my instructor shared us a better example of the difference between ethics and moral.
On the yesterday’s CBC News, he heard that a Manitoba lesbian couple was rejected by a family doctor from Egypt for religious reasons. This matter happens in Winnipeg, the city I’m living in. It is so near for me to feel such a news.
As I told you before, for finishing my assignment of the “Computer Ethics” course, I’m keeping reading and thinking about Bill Joy’s article “Why the future doesn’t need us“. This article is really thought-provoking. Today, I get confusing about how critical is the spreading of genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics (GNR).
This post a a Chinese translation of Guido van Rossums’s article “Personal History – part 2, CNRI and beyond” on his blog named “The History of Python”.

Python研讨会（参看之前的文章）的结果是一份在CNRI（the Corporation for National Research Initiatives，国家研究研发公司）的工作。CNRI是位于维珍尼亚州来斯顿的一个非盈利的研究实验室。我在1995年四月份加入。CNRI的主管Bob Kahn是第一位向我指出Python与Lisp之间共同点的人，尽管两者从外表（语法）上完全不同。在CNRI，DARPA授权的移动媒介研究间接的给Python工作提供经济支持。尽管有DARPA支持的项目在使用Python，但没有太多对编程语言本身的直接支持。
For finishing my assignment of the “computer ethics” course, I’m reading Bill Joy’s great article “Why the future doesn’t need us“. In this article, Joy talked about a situation that, human beings may be displaced by robotics, along with the growth of GNR (genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics) technologies.
英语应该怎样学，如何实践，通过最近的阅读，我有了新的理解。
依然按照传统的听、说、读、写来把整个英语时间划分成四个方面。我现在的理解是，国内学习英语应当把重心放在“说”和“读”上。正好两方面分别处于输出信息和接受信息的角度上。
My instructor assigned me some articles to read and some videos to watch about computer ethics. One of the video is Kevin Kelly on the next 5000 days change of our web at EG 2007 Conference in Los Angeles, California.
At the beginning of Kelly’s speech, he said we will have only one machine exists in our world. All of personal devices, such as computer, cell phone, etc., are just the terminals of that machine. The machine is more reliable than we have ever met. It never crash. And I suddenly thought something other than his topic about a never crashing machine.
