Is Learning to Code More Popular Than Learning a Foreign Language? 这年头，学写代码比学外语流行？ There was a time when people used to go to night classes or buy DIY guides to learn foreign languages in their spare time. But the New York Times is to have us believe that French and Spanish are out of the window, to be replaced by Python and Java. 曾几何时，人们都涌进夜校或是购买自学教材，利用空闲时间学习外语。但《纽约时报》的报道却让我们相信，曾经很多人痴迷的法语和西班牙语已经不再受重视，现在好学人士的首选已经变成了计算机编程语言Python 和Java。 It's an interesting concept. There's certainly no denying the fact that as a nation we're becoming more tech savvy—you only need to look around a coffee shop to tell you that—and with that is bound to come an increased shift to learning how to make devices work better. From the New York Times: 这是一个非常有趣的观点。无可否认，在美国这样的科技大国，越来越多的人变成科技通，只要环顾咖啡店四周你就会发现我所言非虚。越来越多的人使用电子设备，人们也必然要学习多的程序知识让自己的设备好用。以下内容摘自《纽约时报》： "Parlez-vous Python? What about Rails or JavaScript? Foreign languages tend to wax and wane in popularity, but the language du jour is computer code. 你会Python代码吗？还有Rails 源代码和 JavaScript代码？外语学习的人气似乎有所减弱，现在正当红的语言是计算机代码。 "The market for night classes and online instruction in programming and Web construction, as well as for iPhone apps that teach, is booming. Those jumping on board say they are preparing for a future in which the Internet is the foundation for entertainment, education and nearly everything else. Knowing how the digital pieces fit together, they say, will be crucial to ensuring that they are not left in the dark ages." (责任编辑：admin) |
