Piaoger decided to translate the key part, learn English, and pass the time.

[Note: After completing the first part of the comparison, I suddenly found that someone has translated this book, and it is said that the translation quality is good. The title of the book is a copy: I am programming, and I am happy. Do I still need to continue reading and translating, or simply spend some money to buy a book?]
