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。

章节摘录

　　Petey hadnt really believed that Dad would be doing it —— sending Granddad away. "Away" was what they were calling it. Not until now could he believe it of his father.　　But here was the blanket that Dad had bought for Granddad, and in the morning hed be going away. This was the last evening theyd be having together. Dad was off seeing that girl he was to marry. He would not be back till late, so Petey and Granddad could sit up and talk.　　It was a fine September night, with a silver moon riding high. They washed up the supper dishes and then took their chairs out onto the porch. "Ill get my fiddle," said the old man, "and play you some of the old tunes."　　But instead of the fiddle he brought out the blanket. It was a big double blanket, red with black stripes.　　"Now, isnt that a fine blanket！" said the old man, smoothing it over his knees. "And isnt your father a kind man to be giving the old fellow a blanket like that to go away with? It cost something, it did —— look at the wool of it！ Therell be few blankets there the equal of this onel　　It was like Granddad to be saying that. He was trying to make it easier. He had pretended all along that he wanted to go away to the great brick building- the government place. There hed be with so many other old fellows, having the best of everything... But Petey hadnt believed Dad would really do it, not until this night when he brought home the blanket.　　"Oh, yes, its a fine blanket," said Petey. He got up and went into the house. He wasnt the kind to cry and, esides, he was too old for that. Hed just gone in to fetch Granddads fiddle.　　The blanket slid to the floor as the old man took the fiddle and stood up. He tuned up for a minute, and then said, "This is one youll like to remember".
