Foreign books or domestic books

EngageProgramPeople will purchase more or less professional books to help them improve their technical skills or serve as a reference for tool books. Now the network is developed, and many books can be downloaded to electronic versions directly online, as a result, the number of people who buy paper books is relatively small. In addition to the popularity of e-book readers, tablets, and other devices, people seem to have more and more reasons to discard paper books.

However, I think there are still some incomparable advantages in paper books. The biggest advantage is that you can write something on it as you like. You only need one pen. Don't underestimate this record, but it helps me focus on reading and understand my previous ideas when I see this page again in the future. So I will still buy some paper books, from the year I graduated, I have purchased a shelf for paper books. All the books I have read have many notes. These are my personal opinions on the content of the book. After a long period of time, these notes are really valuable, knowledge is accumulation.

When there are too many books, I will always throw them away at the end. Especially when I used to change my residence, it was inconvenient to move so many books. Therefore, I bought many books and threw them away. Throw and throw, I found that all the books I threw were written by Chinese authors, while the books of foreign authors often gave me a sense of continuous reference value and I was reluctant to throw them. So in the future, I will basically not buy the books of domestic authors. If I have bought them, I have to throw them. It is a waste of money.

The reason is actually not hard to understand. Domestic books focus more on publishing efficiency. What new technology should the author quickly translate and organize documents into the first draft, then I submitted it to the publishing house in a hurry, so many people read the Chinese author's books and said, "This is not the copy and paste of development documents!" There are not many unique insights from the author in the book, and even some of the content is wrong. I don't know whether the author understands it or not. The content is superficial.

Later, I finally lived in my room, and there was no need to move the house. The bookshelves in my house were big enough, so I put all the books on the shelves, I found that there is a "[beauty]" symbol before the name of the author of each book. I don't think I look down on the Chinese author, but the Chinese author is really not careful enough to write a book ......

People are changing as time goes by. Many of my views vary greatly when they are different. Although sometimes I feel that I am stubborn and cannot accept changes, but in fact, looking back at myself a few years ago, there have been many changes ...... For example, I once insisted on a certain technology and thought that I could be proud to master a technology. Now I think that technology is actually used to create value services. The achievement of an engineer, apart from technology, there are many more important things. I also have some opinions on books.

Although the books of domestic authors lack classics, these superficial books are very suitable for beginners. When I need to get started with a new technology, I will find some quick and popular books, this is suitable for entry-level books. At this time, I often choose books from Chinese authors. Most of the time, it is enough. Not all technologies are enough to study, because human time is very limited, especially in the past year, I feel more and more that I think more about how to create more benefits with limited time, instead of "researching" any technology. Of course, I am still a technician, and technology is still important, but efficiency is also important.

Just like this question: will you go to the English version or the Chinese version? I have read a lot of online shopping websites. The most widely reflected problem for readers is the quality of translation. If I say how good a book is abroad, I can't translate anything. Of course, this is not totally unfounded, conflicts between some of the translations of such a large book are inevitable. You must know that the publishing house is also in a rush to make money. There are not so many people and time to proofread them one by one, but in most cases, the translation error is not enough to affect reading. Read the original English version. Of course, if the English is good enough, but I can't do it now, because I know that I can read the Chinese version faster no matter how I improve the English level, so the books I read now are basically in the Chinese version. When I need to solve some specific problems, I will query some English websites, because this will often help to find the answer faster. Everything takes efficiency and practicality first.

If you ask me ...... Did the books of domestic authors you bought get rid of them after they are used up ?" Well, I learned it later. I don't have to spend money on books. I can buy books in the name of my company. I don't have to pay for it myself, but I can also share it with other colleagues in the company, of course, you don't have to worry about throwing a book after reading it.

End this article with a philosophical article to see if you can understand the artistic conception. I don't know whether I understand it or not. I just think it means this:

"when a monk is a monk, seeing mountains is just mountains, seeing water is just water, and there is no difference in the world. When practicing zen in konghui Temple, suddenly one day, seeing mountains is not mountains, seeing water is not water; then participating in the world, walking for ten years, I found that seeing mountains is still mountains, seeing water is still water, and the brother of the common family is no different from the childhood."
