Yeah! Long ago when books were just becoming popular, Socrates once said, the more people get used to writing down their thoughts, and reading the thoughts of others, the more people's memory gets worse.

不过话说回来，“书到用时方恨少”，如今在报社工作，我还是很感谢当年拼命阅读背诵打下的扎实基本功的。教育制度的改变并非一朝一夕，不过和其他制度一样，总会与时俱进的。

bùguò huàshuōhuílai ，“shū dào yòng shí fāng hèn shǎo ”，rújīn zài bàoshè gōngzuò ，wǒ háishì hěn gǎnxiè dāngnián pīnmìng yuèdú bèisòng dǎxià de zhāshi jīběngōng de 。jiāoyùzhìdù de gǎibiàn bìngfēi yīcháoyīxī ，bùguò hé qítā zhìdù yīyàng ，zǒng huì yǔshíjūjìn de 。

That said, it's only when you make use of your knowledge that you wish you'd learned more. Now I'm working for a newspaper, I'm really grateful for all that reading and learning off by heart I did back in the day to give myself a good basic knowledge. Changing the education system doesn't happen overnight, but rather, like other systems, it progresses over time.

你是我的眼，带我阅读浩瀚的书海。

nǐ shì wǒ de yǎn ，dài wǒ yuèdú hàohàn de shū hǎi 。

You are my eyes, you let me read the knowledge in endless books

我已经给他做过水平测试了。语法和阅读还不错。中级的语法，比如："把"，"虽然……但是......"这些都懂。200字左右的对话也可以看懂。

I already gave him a level test. His grammar and reading are pretty good. He knows intermediate grammar stuff like: “bǎ” , “suǐrán ... dānshì ...”, that kind of stuff. He also can read a 200 character dialogue.

现在请大家进入烈士纪念馆参观。在这里大家可以阅读烈士们的生平事迹，瞻仰烈士的遗像遗物，看看烈士们的血衣和遗书，以及曾加在他们身上的那些惨无人道的刑具。

Now will everyone please enter the Martyr's Memorial. Here everyone can read about the lives of the martyrs, look at their portraits and see their blood stained clothing and writings. One can also see the inhumane instruments of torture used on them.

豆瓣”不是专门分享阅读、影评的地方么？怎么还有活动？

dòubàn ”bùshì zhuānmén fēnxiǎng yuèdú 、yǐngpíng de dìfang ma ？zěnme háiyǒu huódòng ？

Isn't “Douban” a dedicated place for sharing movie and book reviews? Why does it also have events?

你懂电脑技术，英语又好。一般中国人哪儿用得着什么阅读器？

nǐ dǒng diànnǎo jìshù ，yīngyǔ yòu hǎo 。yībān Zhōngguórén nǎr yòngdezháo shénme yuèdúqì ？

You understand computer technology, and your English is also good. But how many Chinese really have a need for readers or stuff like that?

这倒是。到底是本土公司。但是说到创新还有个性化的产品，那绝对是Google比较强，像日历、阅读器、文档这些，百度根本就没有。

zhè dàoshì 。dàodǐ shì běntǔ gōngsī 。dànshì shuōdào chuàngxīn háiyǒu gèxìnghuà de chǎnpǐn ，nà juéduì shì Google bǐjiào qiáng ，xiàng rìlì 、yuèdúqì 、wéndàng zhèxiē ，Bǎidù gēnběn jiù méiyǒu 。

Well, that's true. It is a ''native-born" company, after all. But as far as innovation and user-friendliness, Google is absolutely superior. Think of Calendar, Reader, Docs-- Baidu has none of that stuff.

哎，总的来说，还是中国互联网行业整体发展比较慢。好多网站连RSS服务都没有，就更别谈什么阅读器了。这点挺可惜的，其实Google的很多产品都能大大提高我们的工作效率和沟通效率，但是好多人都没机会去了解。

Ah, at the end of the day, the development of China's internet industry has been pretty slow. A bunch of websites don't even have RSS-- to say nothing of Reader. It really is a pity, so many of Google's products can increase our work and communication efficiency, but so many people never get a chance to try to understand them.
