Curiosity and a keen interest in “why?”
Product-minded engineers like to understand the “why?” behind all things. Why build this feature for the product, why not the other one? Why ship this first milestone, instead of choosing another one, that’s a lot simpler to build? How will things be measured - why don’t we choose a more thorough way to measure things?
They are autonomous in finding answers they can, by themselves. They turn to the product manager and other people in the business for other, product-related questions. Even though they ask many questions, doing this frequently, they manage not to annoy people, as they’ve built up strong relationships with them.

    老师您好,这里 ‘They are smooth communicators, making it clear they’re interested in learning more about how other disciplines work.’分词做状语不合适,可以具体解释一下么?

    作者回复: 所谓状语,是修饰谓语动词或者主语所做动作的状态的,这句话的主句里面没有实意动词,谓语动词只是are,没有动作,are本身系动词也无所谓“状态”,因为没有动作。如果把communicate拿来变谓语动词,后面的现在分词就很适合来作为状语描述前面实意动词的状态,因为communicate是实实在在的动作。所以这句话严格来讲是不规范的。当然口语不用那么严谨,说这样的句子也不能算错,也不影响理解。

    老师你好,想问一下下面这个长句怎么分析一下句子的结构。麻烦讲解一下方法,谢谢。 Oracle Autonomous Database is a cloud-based technology designed to automate many of the routine tasks required to manage Oracle databases, which Oracle says can free up DBAs to do higher-level and more strategic work.

    作者回复: 先找主干,再找枝叶。Oracle Autonomous Database is a cloud-based technology是主干,后面都是定语,有三个定语:过去分词短语designed to automate many of the routine tasks修饰technology,过去分词短语required to manage Oracle databases修饰tasks,逗号后面which Oracle says can free up DBAs to do higher-level and more strategic work是非限定性定语从句(后面专门会讲),修饰Oracle Autonomous Database。

    从不规范的表达中学到什么?我觉的最主要的就是“语言是用来沟通的工具”。 老师提出的,“在学习的时候认真严谨,而在有机会使用语言的时候,不怕犯错,抓住一切机会交流”,非常有道理。而我自己之前在英语学习上可能更倾向于“学习的时候不怕犯错,交流的时候认真严谨(结结巴巴)”。 Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. 这个后半句接的真好。 keen as mustard,像芥末一样浓烈。好像在中文里会说,像浆糊一样粘稠,像酒一样浓烈。 我原来以为 why + do 是在问为什么做呢,虽然语气听上去有些弱,却不知道是“表示该动作没有必要、无意义”的意思。 manage to 我也会当做“试图去做”,或者是“想办法去做”,而不知道其实是“强调”成功做到一件比较困难的事情。 看了一下 similes ,有将近 200 个,挑几个比较有意思的 * As American as apple pie: typically American in character * As bald as a coot * As boring as watching paint dry * As clear as mud: not at all easy to understand * As cool as a cucumber * As dead as a dodo * As drunk as a lord * As easy as taking candy from baby: to be very easy 我原本以为是特别困难的事情 * As fit as a butcher’s dog * As honest as the day is long: honest as all the time, 24 hours a day 我以为是只诚实一天 * As naked as a jaybird 其实这里的 jaybird 原本可能是 jailbird 一个监狱,可怜了 Jaybird 这个牌子,不过用来做广告词,其实也挺好。 * As sick as a dog: extremely ill 这个是真的病了 * As sick as a parrot: extremely disappointed 这个是失望(心病) 看了一眼最后的那首诗,集明喻之大成者,看不懂,其中有不少的古英语词汇。

    作者回复: 很认真,赞👍

    老师您好,本文中提到"ship"的用法,突然想到很多技术类文章中也有这个ship,一直不知道准确的意思。比如这句:The standard Rust distribution ships with a tool called rustdoc. 请问这里的ship (with) 是啥意思?

    作者回复: 就是我在文章里面提到的意思啊,发货或者发行。这句话讲的是软件,意思应该是:标准版本Rust 发行时附带一个叫做 rustdoc的工具。

    老师提出的在学习的时候认真严谨,在应用的时候大胆不怕犯错。真的观点真的有鼓舞到我。语言是一种能力,我学习的主要目的也是能够熟练的应用它,提升我对英语的运用能力和理解能力,能够使用英语和朋友们侃侃而谈。老师的这个观点,能够让我鼓起用气,走出练习和运用的第一步,第一步迈出去了,后面就是长足的联系了。

    作者回复: 坚持输入,勇敢输出,熟能生巧而已

    老师,很多英语单词,都有多个含义,例如session,我只记住它有章节的含义,在其他的地方它有可能又有,会议或者开庭的含义,有没有技巧记住一个单词的多个含义

    作者回复: 后面章节会回答您的问题。没有捷径,只能积累,最重要的是要结合例句或上下文。

    They are smooth communicators, making it clear they’re interested in learning more about how other disciplines work. 老师,为什么只有making it clear they are interested in是分词短语做状语?后面的learning ...又是什么组成部分? 如果我改为定语从句可以吗? They are smooth communicators, who are making it clear they’re interested in learning more about how other disciplines work.

    作者回复: 后面的learning是in这个介词的宾语,所以是名词性质的,或者叫动名词,不是分词(分词是动词性质的,虽然都是-ing形式)。 改成定语从句在语法上是没有错的,但逻辑关系发生了变化。状语修饰的是前面的句子,基本上是他们对其他学科的学习兴趣使得他们成为很好的沟通者;如果变成定语从句,就是修饰前面的communicator,表示他们是对学习其他学科有兴趣的沟通者。逻辑和含义上稍有差别。

    太赞了老师,这篇收获颇丰。之前读的时候就感觉很多地方很奇怪,但是让我自己说又具体说不上来。只会觉得哪句不顺口。听了老师的解读就明白了,真的很棒。
