Language Chip－语言芯片

Language Chip

语言芯片

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.

开发语言芯片植入人脑的理由多多，可省无数银子，可免语言学习的无限痛苦，可增进跨文化交流。也许是我们这个被诊断为仅次于癌症的教育体系的唯一一剂良药。与潜在的市场价值相比，语言芯片的开发费用可以忽略不计。

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.

语言芯片可以为经费缺口巨大的教育系统节省无数人民币。你知道吗，1998年中国政府为教育花费了2030亿？同年，我国教育人口是3.3亿，约占总人口的27%。所有的学生3年级或者5年纪就开始学英文，有的一进幼儿园就学了。所有的老师都必须通过英文考试方能提职称。所以，说我国有25%的人口要学一门外语不会错吧。以每人每年语言学习节省1元计，可以节约3.3亿元，每人10元就是33亿，每人100元就是330亿，每人1000元就是3300亿！别忘了！有些语言课程一个月就要好几千块！还有不当教师的那么多人也要学外语。节约的就更多了。省下这笔钱，再支撑一个相同规模的教育体系是轻而易举的事情。

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.

语言芯片可以为学习外语的人省却无尽的烦恼。随便问哪个成人学生，语言学习的平均时间恐怕都有10年以上。要是问他们是否喜欢英文，他们90%一准儿会诉说对语言的无比怨恨。要是问研究生学习时间如何分配，他们肯定会告诉你70%花在学英文。要是问每个大学毕业生最难以达到的毕业条件是什么，他们一大半会说是英文。随便查个英文学习的网站，尽管网管说得轻松，大多数浏览者都会在此地倒苦水，诉迷茫。问另找工作高就的人最担心什么，他们绝大多数会悔恨当初没有学好英文。这个烦恼单子可能是人生困难清单中最长的了。要把这些烦恼全部列出来才是最难的。唯一的解决办法似乎就是语言芯片。

A language chip will make Chinese people fluent in any foreign language and facilitate free communication and exchanges of latest science and technology developments around the world. Its importance cannot be overstressed; modernization needs it, and so do regular business operations, cultural and educational exchanges, etc. etc. It will probably help real Chinese writers to win the Nobel prizes too. We can’t just talk about the glory of our past culture, right? And we can no longer be satisfied when a native speaker puts his thumb up and says your English is good. We want Oscars too. The entry is so difficult. We will soon run out of topics if we continue to focus on things happened 100 years ago in China. There are so many achievements we can make when our language competence is improved.

语言芯片可以让国人讲一口流利的外文，与世界各国自由地交流科技最新成果。它的重要性怎么强调也不为过：现代化需要它，商贸活动需要它，文化教育交流需要它，等等，不一而足。它甚至可以帮助真正的中国作家赢得诺贝尔奖。我们不能总是对过去的辉煌文化喋喋不休吧？操英文母语的人再给我们竖起大拇指说我们英文不错时，我们已经不能满足了。我们还要奥斯卡奖。进入提名都那么困难。如果老是一个劲儿地讲述中国100年前的事儿，我们很快就会失去话题的。可见，语言能力提高以后，我们又能创造无数的辉煌。

In addition, a language chip will make language tests meaningless, a first step towards a test free educational system. Children will be happier and adults more willing to commit themselves to their professions. The only bad thing, on a second thought, is perhaps a dramatically smaller job market and a profit shrunk like a flat balloon for those who claim that they can help you achieve native-speaker fluency within 2 or 3 months. In fact, these types of programs are the most costly ones, 4,000 yuan per month, for example, plus textbooks and room and board if we have to board. In this way, we become wiser and not so vulnerable to cheats like these: wild model, relaxing model, top of the cream of the century model, so on and so forth. Fa Ua Ck Kk them all!

还有呢，语言芯片可以让语言考试见鬼去了，这是教育系统走向免除考试的第一步。孩子们会更快乐，成人们也更愿意专心于自己的事业。回头一想，唯一不足的是，那些声称2到3个月内就能帮你讲一口流利英文的人，将会失去绝大部分市场，利润就会象捅破的气球一样一下子瘪掉。实际上，这些课程是最贵的，比如4000块一个月，还不包括课本，食宿—如果要去外地的话。这样一来，我们就会变得更聪明，更不容易上当受骗，什么狂野模式，什么轻松模式，什么世纪极品模式，通通见鬼去吧！
