補習-Language Chip－語言芯片

Language Chip 語言芯片 I find numerous reasons to support development of language chips to be planted into human brains. It saves a lot of money and a great deal of efforts in language learning. It enhances communication across the cultures. It is perhaps the only medicine for our educational system diagnosed as only second to cancer. The cost of language chip development is nothing compared with its potential market value. 開發語言芯片植入人腦的理由多多，可省無數銀子，可免語言學習的無限痛苦，可增進跨文化交流。也許是我們這個被診斷為僅次于癌癥的教育體系的唯一一劑良藥。與潛在的市場價值相比，語言芯片的開發費用可以忽略不計。 A language chip will save millions and millions of RMB for the education system suffering from shortage of funding. Do you know that the Chinese government spent about 203 billion yuan for education in 1998? And that in the same year, 330 million people, or about 27% of our population, are engaged in education? I suppose students will have to learn English from about the 3rd grade or the 5th, while some from the very beginning in the kindergarten. And all teachers will have to pass some English tests for promotion. So, it is safe to say about 25% of the Chinese population has to learn a foreign language. We save about 330 million yuan, if we just save one yuan per person per year, and 3.3 billion yuan if 10 yuan per person, and 33 billion if 100 yuan per person, and 330 billion yuan if 1,000 per person. Remember, some language courses cost you several thousands a month! Many people on jobs other than teaching will also have to learn a foreign language. We save much more. So we could support another education system of the same size when this money is saved. 語言芯片可以為經費缺口巨大的教育系統節省無數人民幣。你知道嗎，1998年中國政府為教育花費了2030億？同年，我國教育人口是3.3億，約占總人口的27%。所有的學生3年級或者5年紀就開始學英文，有的一進幼兒園就學了。所有的老師都必須通過英文考試方能提職稱。所以，說我國有25%的人口要學一門外語不會錯吧。以每人每年語言學習節省1元計，可以節約3.3億元，每人10元就是33億，每人100元就是330億，每人1000元就是3300億！別忘了！有些語言課程一個月就要好幾千塊！還有不當教師的那么多人也要學外語。節約的就更多了。省下這筆錢，再支撐一個相同規模的教育體系是輕而易舉的事情。 A language chip will save tons and tons of efforts in taking up the learning process. If you ask any adult student of English, the average time of language learning is about 10 years. If you ask them how they like English, 90% of them will express strong hatred. If you ask graduate students how they divide their time, they will surely say 70% for English. If you ask every college graduate to comment on the most difficult requirement for graduation, more than half of them will tell you it’s English. If you browse any website on English learning, despite the easy tone of webmasters, more than half of the regular visitors express frustration and difficulties in English learning. If you ask anyone looking for a better job what they are worried about, most of them will tell you they regret having not learned English well before. This list could be the longest among the difficulties of human life. It is even more difficult to list them all. And the only solution seems to be a language chip.
