闲话篇之胡言乱语
Hi,
Congratulation to hell.
Sorry, I didn't mean it, this is exactly what my classmate wrote to me when
I told them I got the visa. In some sense it is true, for some people of
course. It is often said that one man's meat is another man's poison. So one
man's heaven may turn out to other man's hell similarly.
We all judge our outside world with our brain based on the data collected
by our organ of sense. The primary organ of sense is our eyes and ears. However,
we are watching the same world and listening to the same evironment, our
brains may give completely different judgement. It all depends on yourselves
to make judgement. All other people just supply you with some information
which they regard importantly.
Therefore, I am not giving out my suggestions, but my experience for your
reference only.
1. Don't expect too much and don't underestimate too much.
It is quite good to live in most of places if you have enough money. And it
is not so easy to live in most of places on earth if you don't have too much
money. For common immigrants, money is always in short. Many people just begin
to balance their income and expense 6months after landing.
2. If you expect to do a similar job in Canada as you did in China. Try to
think it is only an exception at first stage.
3. Try not to think that coming to a place is a victory or somewhat, try to
think it is a new beginning.
4. You will forget the big difference of Canadian dollar and RMB sooner or
later.
5. Buy a piece of warm clothes and a good pair of boots. However, you may
find out after 2 years that it is all unnecessary since you can buy all them
here in Canada.
6. Setup a life goal and evaluate it by the highest standard and the lowest
one. After two years, recall this and test this. And do what you already
decided two years ago.
7. Go often to visit website:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/qingzhehuang
to get some fun if you feel
boring or what.
8. Do not believe in any of above except no. 7.
9. Do trust all above except no. 8.
10. It is your choice to believe or not any of these
bullshit.
跟你开个玩笑， 别介意。

hi,
As long as I know,
1. your finacee cannot go along with you now as you have to apply for
family re-union which may last for half year to one year. Actually when I
stayed in Toronto last year, my roommate is a guy from Beijing. And his wife
is waiting for this family re-union for more than half year in Beijing. Even
after almost half year when I left Toronto, I asked him when chatting, it
seems her admission is not approved. So, I guess that in some cases it may
last for nearly one year though by regulation it should be within half year
before. But who knows what will happen after 911.
2. It always depends on deciding which city is better when you compare
Toronto and Montreal. Some people said that if you are rich, stay in
Vancouver, if you have some money, stay in Toronto, if you are poor, go to
Montreal. It gives you some hints. It is said that in Toronto chinese can find
some place to work if you are lucky or you have some talent. If you want to
study in school , maybe Montreal is better as you can get some bursary from
Quebec government. You know, in Toronto if you don't work it is meaningless to
stay there. However, if you are determined to try to find a job, stay there is
a better solution.
3. So, in all word it all depends on what you want to do here and what you
can do here. And all answer should be discovered by yourself. As it is said in
film "Matrix": there is a big difference between knowing the path
and really walking through it.
have a nice day.

I was shocked to
see the real poverty in Canada
Today I came back from my first farm work in Canada and I
swear never, ever to go to again. For many years of travelling in
China, I thought my heart has been hardened enough to
endure the sight of misery of miserable people. However, it turns out
to be not the case. I was shocked to see the real
miserable life side of Canada. It is not those co-called artists who play for
coins in Metro, many of them simply enjoy the life
style and feel proud of it. comparing with 12 hours in hot sun burning
in onion fields, it means nothing but leisure.
People in farm struggle for all their strength to earn one cup of orange juice
by
picking up 3600 pieces of onions in fields, in dust,
desperately.
My
pilgrimage starts here...hi,
Your words did touch some nature of mine!
No matter how I explain to myself that this web site is helpful to me, indeed
there is some percentage of showing off or as you said "promoting myself"?
Life is lonely here especially at the bottom of a man's heart. In the coldest
evening of snowing days, the only thing you can do is playing PC games in the
small cellroom. Can you imagine the chilling winter here?
However, the web indeed has its value:
1. First of all, I need an independent storage space. My laptop is not
trustworthy because I don't know when it will stop working and then it is a
disastrous for all my job. Putting it on web is a best way to keep those
files, programs, assignments, ideas etc.
2. The other reason is for a version problem. As you know, many of my program
involves several editions. The evolution of versions sometimes is like the
evolution of an idea. At first you can only solve the problem to this extent,
and maybe in future you suddenly understand that you can do it the other way.
Or more probably when you try to improve it in another way and then realized
that you are totally wrong and the old way is in fact the correct way. This
looks like a mess and I need to keep all files as it is so that in future I
can return to find out what it originally looks like.
3. It is easy to access my webpage nowadays from internet almost everywhere. I may upload
my project in home and debug the program in lab in school. Or more often I
simply send the link of the program to my classmates or professors instead of
sending the program files itself which is of course much bigger than the link.
4. My memory is losing faster than I can ever imagine. As I mentioned in my
diary, I always think that our memory is selective as we select those happy
scenes to remember, then our life seems to be happy. On the contrary, when we
choose to remember those sad days, our life seemingly becomes a sad story. So,
memory is not trustful anymore. The only solution is to write down and store them
somewhere. Today the electronic storage technology seems to be the best
choice.
5. I always live in dream. As I take a subway to school, the noise of train
makes me feel riding on my favourite horse and having my dreaming trip. As I
enter campus, the coming and going of various students makes me feel as if I
am taking my ship, sailing on waving oceans. Since I imagine my life is a
pilgrimage to the unknown future, I do need a shipping log to record
everything I encounter in my journey. It helps me to fill up those empty days
and nights in this pilgrimage.
6. It is said that our life should be like this: When we recall the past days,
we should not feel regretful and shameful for passing without doing anything
significant. Then we can say we did devote all our lives and energy to the
greatest thing in this world. The question is how can we be sure about that?
Since our memory is always trying to cheat ourselves. How can I trust my
memory that I am not passing without doing any meaningful job? I need a
witness and the only reliable witness is myself because it is only myself who
knows what I am doing everyday. The evidence should be kept in files for
future inspection.
7. I was always deeply impressed when I watch those autobiographies of those
great ones in our world. The documentary TV program reveals the evolutions of
ideas and personalities. The more material they show you, the more convincing
that these great people are indeed wonderful in their jobs. I don't expect
others to be able to watch a documentary film of myself. At least watching by
myself is enough to amuse me. One audience is enough.
Have a nice day before you get bored by me.
Nick Huang/Qingzhe Huang
8. One more thing about all what I wrote down is
that it is quite possible that these stuff would somehow, someday become
materials uncovered by an archeologist in farthest future. And this
archeologist in my imagination is actually a huge computer program who is
assigned to discover the evolution history of human in 20th and 21st
centuries. Maybe he or it is so lucky that at some moment his searching would
reach a long-abandoned server in which all my stuffs have been stored for
centuries. At that very moment, he may be so happy to see that a humble
computer-science student imagined that event as early as beginning of 21st
century.
这位兄台好心情啊
我个人的看法是，在5-10，也许20年内，北美可能不会再有所谓的应用软件的程序员开发了，至多是一部分维护性的工作。唯有系统程序员还可以生存，或者是纯学术的研究了。
理由很简单，现在电信技术使得程序员可以在任何地方编程，资本家没有必要用10到20倍的工资在北美搞任何大规模的简单重复劳动，只有不可替代的，或不愿外包的核心部分还能生存。
所以，我想不用找什么工作，因为一定会被layoff，除非这个工作需要你，你不一定要去找他。那种投资几千块钱，学三两个月可以速成的时代已经一去不复返了。
--------问题是俺们已经花了几万几年了 。。。。。。。
IT行业从来就是这样，小到个人，大到跨国公司，高投入，高产出，高风险。没有人在乎你投资了多少，你的产品，（也就是你自己）有没有人要完全取决于市场需求。
关于学英语的体会。。。
你好，
谢谢你的抬举，我实际上是一个平常人，正如我自己描述自己的那样是一个希望能看起来不平常的平常人，因为这个愿望非常的平常。（I am a common man
with a common wish to want to look like uncommon which is totally common.)
不过关于学习英语我倒是可以谈谈我的一些想法，一方面，我大学原本就算是英语专业的，另一方面，我在学英语上当时也着实花了不少力气，也许能够供你参考。
1。我始终认为学习之前一个人必须确定明确几件事：a)目的;b)条件；c)方法;d)检验；
先说目的，如果你没有明确的目标，你既不会有持久的动力，也谈不上日后检验的方法，所以我觉得这个市最重要的。你必须知道你为什么要学，是仅仅能够看看通俗英文小说消遣，还是实际工作中会用到，我以为学以致用至为重要，如果你学的一样技能没有施展的地方，就图同屠龙术，既没有用也浪费了以个人的精力和时间。
其次是条件，这里有个人条件也有客观条件，比如你学语言的能力，你的记忆力，你的逻辑思维力，你的知识修养，你的工作时间，你的个人兴趣等等，甚至可以说你的种种条件又反过来决定了你的目的。我曾经看到过一篇报道说北大食堂又一个卖馒头的师傅学习英语考托福考了很高，这对于激励很多人学习是一件好事，可是从另一个角度来看，假如这个师傅除了有意愿上大学或者检验证实自己的人生价值以外，完全没有必要学外语，在国内学英语假如你不用的话，学来干什么？所以，一定是你的周围条件决定你的学习目的，同时也决定你的学习方法，和检验方法。
方法，做任何事情都会有方法，方法和条件是紧密相联系的，一定的条件决定了你的方法。比如读大学的时候，我那个专业算是英语专业吧，英语是主课，同时我那个时候的记忆力特别强，所以，我经常全身心地阅读，听广播，磁带，参加英语角等等。如果要求一个理工科的学生也这样学习我觉得就是完全的本末倒置了，听说现在国内有的大学就是这样，学理工的学起英语来比英语专业还卖力，这个现象我是持反对态度的。要看条件和目的来决定方法。
检验为什么重要？因为学习过程是一个摸索与调整的过程，如果没有检验你不可能明白你的目的是否达到，这样你无法确定你的方法是否正确，你的条件是否满足，学习的动力不会得到保持与补充，学习的方法得不到验证与调整，最终会陷入混沌之中。检验可以有很多种形式，比如，有的人以考试成绩来看，有的人已达到一定的阅读水平来看等等。
2。
讲了这么多，你一定会觉得我说了无数的废话空话大话，如果不讲一点具体的方法，也真辜负你耐心读到这里了。我大学的时候看过一个日本人写的小册子叫做《速读学英语》，讲的是作者的切身体会，就是英语的真正功底不是词汇，不是语法，而是听力和阅读，而其中听力是由阅读来决定的，为什么这么说？假如你慢慢地的一个字一个子读的话，都不太明白很难想象你会听明白，我这里有两个前提，一，你不是英语为母语的环境长大的，因为那些人不一定会读，可是会停；二，你不是看电视电影的听，那种场景有语言之外的信息。我说的听是纯粹的磁带语广播，这种情况下你几乎要完全依赖你的语感。什么是语感？说白了是一种条件反射，是一种举一反三触类旁通的类似的联想力，你听到A就能预见到B，而不是一个字一个字都要听得清清楚楚的机器似的翻译。现在回想起来国内的英语教学简直就是在教编译器学习英语，把所有的词汇让你先掌握，把所有的语法让你严格认真学习，让你一个字一个字的听得清清楚楚然后向机器一样的准确翻译，这不是计算机学语言是什么？我不是说不好，而是说这样不现实，也是对人的最大浪费。你在阅读的时候，如果对内容有着强烈的探索欲望，真切地想要知道其中的内容，你会忽略很多不重要的生词，连蒙带猜地跳过一些不影响大局的细节，不会一个字一个字的查字典，你的思路不会被打断，你的大脑的处理速度不会因为阅读的是外语而放慢思维，你的头脑中的语速会和实际的速度保持一致，这样你的所谓语感才能培养起来，也只有这样大量的阅读，你的思维逻辑才能得到锻炼，你的词汇量才能扩大，你也才能接触更多的语法现象。这种方法我认为是专业英语学习的必由之路。
3。目的决定方法，目的决定检验，条件决定目的，目的改变条件，检验调整方法，方法实现目的。我现在回想过去非常不愿意鼓励一个人把大量的时间和精力放在无用的技能学习上，比如我，我认为我学习语言不是长处，枉费了大量的时间事半功倍，不过英语对于我是必需的，所以没有办法，算来学习的时间可能都不下十几，二十年，至今也还是不算非常好，实在是不值得。如果你不是必需，不要过多的浪费精力来学一门语言，够用就好了。
今天暂且谈到着，欢迎你的意见。
Don't you think Chinese students are actually cheating by
assuming they are qualified for studying in English-speaking universities?
Actually it is not that kind of intensive English course you imagined. It is
rather kind of fundamental English writing course. When I say "fundamental", I
mean it is just aimed to improve your basic English writing skills to be able
to be qualified as an undergraduate student in an English speaking university.
However, it is not as easy as most Chinese student thought it would be. As a
matter of fact, English-teaching in both universites and middle schools in
China is completely wrong! Sometimes, I even attribute this kind of stupid
teaching methods and goals to "compiler-like" English-learning procedure. In
case you don't understand the term of "compiler" which I think pretty much
natural for a commerce student, compiler is a special program to help computer
to understand human being. It works like this way: people write so-called
high-level programming language like C/C++, Visual Basic, Pascal, Java etc and
by help of compiler, computer can understand what people want it to do. Since
computer only understand 0 and 1, it is the responsibility of compiler to
translate human-understandable language into binary code or 0/1's. So, you now
know the role of a compiler which is essentially a translater. However, this
translator is quite different from a human translator who can interpreter
different languages who is spoken by different people. Compiler is so strict
and stubborn that it won't proceed whenever you make whatever small mistakes
in spelling or grammar. In other words, it won't torlerate slightest
ambibuiguity or mistakes. You can imagine if a human interpreter repeated
interrupts you whenever you make a grammar mistake or pronounication error,
the conversation is very difficult to continue.
So, in this sense I personally object the way of English-teaching in China
because language-learning procedure is a procedure involved with human. It
makes no sense to transfer students into a machine.
Ok, it seems I distract our topic far far away from original one. Let's go
back to topic of Concordia English teaching. It more concentrated those
subjects neglected particularly by English-teaching in China such as
punctuation, spelling with special terms etc. Of course writing with logic is
the most important part of teaching since it assumes you already have a solid
foundation of English grammar. For example, it teaches you how to read between
lines and arrange your arguments in a consistent theme. The major goal is to
train you to write a well-organized paragraph plus some minor issues like how
to write dialogues etc. The strategy they emporsized is more thinking logic
than English language. For example, when you try to convince your reader, what
possible arguing methods you can apply? How do you use comparison and
classification? The course is not so trivial if you really accomplish what you
are supposed to. And one simple clue to this is that usually no student can
get A or A- no matter if English is your first language or second language. Of
course the reason for those whose first language or first 1.5 language(in case
those who speaks both French and English here in Quebec) is English register
in this kind of English course is because his/her English is comparatively
poorer than his/her peers. However they usually have no difficulty in oral
English speaking. So you can imagine these kind of courses are quite strict in
grading.
I think one should benefit a lot by taking English courses, especially for
most Chinese students. Yesterday I watched an old movie by Arnold Schowasingal,
<Kindergarden Cops>. Those kids in the movie are just 5 or 6 years old and can
speak much better English than many of college students in China. Just imagine
they still need more than ten years English training to be able to study in
university. Does it suggest you that Chinese students are actually cheating by
assuming they are qualified for studying in English-speaking-university in
sense of language?
Nice to talk with you and I hope you are not upset by my boring, long
gossiping.

Trouble in Asia
Hi Professor,
Generally speaking, I agree with your view points
that young generation of Japanese should not feel guilty for war crime when
they were not born yet. Actually it is described in media that currently in
Japan people are getting fed up with seemingly-endless pressure for appology.
They become more and more impatient about gabbling of their neighbours. As a
chinese I am willing to analysis rationally what is going on in mind of most
chinese people.
1. The wake-up of new generation:
Unlike their parents, new generation in China now
suffer the least and have the luxury to be proud of their history. However,
defeating in war is always a shame and sore. You see, before WWII Japan is the
only developed country in Asia. Now it is still the ONLY one in Asia. It is
quite difficult to accept the reality that Japanese are superior to Chinese in
mondern industrial age. People tend to attribute this to the fact that China
has dropped the claim for what is lost during war. This is the common sense
for society and few of them realize the real reason of development of Japan.
2. The fear of powerful Japan:
Before WWII, Japan is so strong and China is so
weak. Today it seems little is changed. Although China regards itself as a
powerful country. Yet in veiw of military, the enormous Japanese defence
budget can easily re-arm Japanese army. In fact, Japanese navy and air force
currently is No. 1 in Asia already. A powerful Japanese is always a potential
threat to China. People in China simply don't accept the fact that Japan never
admit it was defeated by China in WWII. It is USA and Soviet Union who
destroyed Japan navy in Pacific and most of army in North-East of China
respectively. As far as I know, during eight-year-long so-called Anti-Japanese
war, China army only destroyed a little more than 1/3 of Japanese army, almost
same as what Red Army from Soviet did within less than three months.
3. The fear of new economic-colony:
People in china today get a wrong impression that
China is becoming stronger and stronger. However, in my personal view, China
now becomes the economic-colony of global incorporations, including many of
Japanese corporates. The most manpower-intensive, natural-resource-consuming,
polusion-intensive manufacturing enterprises are established in China to
exhaust the already exhausted natural resource in a simple reason to feed its
enormous population, without any choice for consideration of more than two
generations. That is big picture of China today. People have to accept the
fact that they are again becoming economic slaves for Japan who now conquered
China by automobile and electronic appliances. How come is the
student superior to his teacher in the sense that most culture of Japan is
"imported" from China 1000 years ago?
4. The fear of incoming militery conflict:
More and more people tend to be impatient with
re-union of China after Hongkong is returned. However, Taiwanese are reluctant
to become one province of China, at least the leader of Taiwan doesn't want
to. And Japanese and Americans don't want to. The seemingly imminent war
conflict is regarded between China and Japan because any military conflict
between USA and China is regarded as beginning of World War III. No one in
world dare to test this theory. Therefore Japan as an agent of USA in Asia
takes responsibility to maintain the peace order of Asia. Should Chinese
leaders show their resolved mind to Japan as a warning of possible
interference during liberation of Taiwan? It is necessary and beneficial to
all sides. Even sheep should show his teeth to a wolf before the fight.
5. The unstable society:
China is becoming a more and more unstable society
with more and more problems arising from every corner of society. People
simply want to outlet their anxiety by someway, somehow. Anti-Japanese is the
safest start since it is regarded as patrioism and would be protected by
government. However, nobody can predict when new flavour would be added into
protests. In 89, same pattern was already showed. I never worries about
so-called nationalism because it is like a burning match which cannot last for
three minutes before people have to think how to survive in this society.
Patrioism is a kind of luxury in China which force you either to choose it as
an occupation or as a hobby. However, professional revolutionist has no way of
survival in China today unless you join Communist Party who stops
revolutionary long time ago. Therefore patrioism as a hobby can be only played
as a game during spare time, say during holiday.
I have been long regarded by my patriots as
Anti-China-ism. However, I would be happy if you distribute the above to more
of your students since I am willing to let more people to re-think what they
take for granted.

Dear Former Students and Friends,
We have all read the
newspaper or heard or seen the news from China. I am
sending this e-mail to you because I have something to say
about it. I know the history of China, Korea and Japan
well enough to know that some things are not discussed in
Japanese schoolbooks. That decision is made by senior
administrators in Government. What happened in Taiwan, in
Korea and in 1931 and later in China were decisions made
by military commanders and by senior government officials.
To be in that position at that time, one would have to
have been 30 or more years old. Nearly all those men
are now dead or well over 90 years old, and toothless
tigers who have nothing but bad memories to keep them warm
at night.
Your Japanese friends are 3 generations removed from
that history. They have no resposibility for what
happened. Their hands are clean. In times of war terrible
things happen. If you are non-Japanese, you may be angry
at those old and dead military men, or those old and dead
government men, or even the now dead Emperor Hirohito. You
may even be mad at the current government of Japan, which
is also filled with old men. But YOU CANNOT BE ANGRY AT
YOUR FRIENDS AND OTHER JAPANESE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WHO
HAVE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH PAST GOVERNMENTS OR PRESENT
GOVERNMENTS. IF YOU ARE JAPANESE, YOU NEED FEEL NO
PERSONAL SHAME. YOU ARE BLAMELESS. You have done nothing
to be ashamed of, ESPECIALLY YOU NEED NOT BE ASHAMED OF
BEING jAPANESE FOR THAT COUNTRY, LIKE MY COUNTRY
ENGLAND, HAS A LONG AND GLORIOUS HISTORY OF
ACCOMPLISHMENT. And yet, England, as a country, has blood
on its hands. Think of the Opium wars. Think of slavery.
But I didn't import opium to China and I didn't go to
Africa to capture slaves for my sugar plantations in the
Carribean.
My father was Jewish. If I count all my close
relatives, then I can tell you that 31 of them were killed
in concentration camps by the NAZI government. Only my
father survived. I can hate the NAZI government, or Hitler
and all the death camp commanders who personally killed my
grandparents, my aunts and uncles, and all my cousins. But
I do not hate the Germans. Infact I married one and, until
recently, had a young German woman living in my house.
What have these people to do with death camps? Nothing.
How far will you go back in history to find something to
hate someone for? Maybe I should hate the Italians because
a Roman soldier cut the head off an Englishman 2000 years
ago.
The Chinese government is allowing these demonstrations
to take place because they are angry that Japan may be
given a seat at the United Nations Security Council. All
Governments act only in their own self-interest. But
people who are not ignorant, who are educated have to rise
above the pragmatism of government policy. We are all just
human beings. We all bleed when we are cut; we all cry out
for food when we are hungry.
Please do not allow yourselves to be swept up in
hysterical action that targets the innocent. If you are
here in Canada, reach out to your friends and tell
them that you care about them. Tell them that no one can
change the past, but that we all have the power to change
the future.
I have not sent this e-mail to everyone I know. You all
have contact lists. I would really appreciate it if you
would send this e-mail to as many people as you can.
I have met so many wonderful people from Asia. I am so
lucky that I now have friends in The Middle
Kingdom, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia,
Thailand, Singapore, Laos, Miyanmar, Indonesia,
Phillipines, etc., etc., etc. Some friends are closer to
me than others, but not because they come from here or
there. No, because I take each person as just a person
whom I can like or dislike because of WHO they are, not
WHAT they are.

谢谢你的恭维，实际上我是一个普通的凡人，大家谁也不比谁强多少，只不过我有时候愿意把自己想的写下来而已，如果每个人都这么做的话，他应该也时时地发现闪光的地方。关于学英语这个老话题，我觉得远比国内很多人想象的难得多，这里是我以前的一点体会（http://www.staroceans.com/newComer.htm#english），这个学期我被迫修一门英语写作结果唯一的想法就是怎么考试能够及格，也就是说最高要求就是C-，想想看班级上80%的都是English-speaking的学生，大多是文科专业，比如文学，语言，再差也是business，写作的时候想要模仿他们的立意，修辞，结果语法错误一箩筐，注意了语法结果又没了主题，看来我今天也还只是当地普通初中生的水平，连基本summary都写不好不要说议论文，记叙文了。国内的情况给我的感觉确实好像拼命地学什么GRE,TOEFL，这些东西仅仅能够让你勉强应付最初级的交流，讲到写作还差得远呢，不过就如我说的，学习终归要应用，因此你必须问问你自己为什么要学，学了以后干什么用，并且明白要怎么用，这样你才知道你是否应该学，怎么检验，也就明白要学到什么程度了。对于我来说英语学习当然是永远的话题，不过作为工科学生，我也只求报告写的语法通顺，主题明确，层次分明而已，其他的都是可望而不可及的了。

可我依然羡慕和佩服你,因为你是移民
要知道,我的好几个雅思班的朋友已经考了二三次
还是不够分,看他们沮丧的样子,我的自信全没了
最起码你可以在最少两个国家穿梭寻找真的自己
而我们想出国只能依靠旅行社,虽然手上有护照.
怎么样,听到别人还有这样的烦恼,而且解决不了
你是不是感觉好一点?

谢谢你的安慰，让我想起很早以前的一首歌，大概叫做“我想去桂林”，歌词的意思是当我想去桂林的时候我没有钱，当我有钱的时候，我没有时间，当我有时间的时候，我已经老得不想再去了，总之，我没有去成桂林。
我现在也许可以来去自由了，但是来去自由的机票我却买不起了，自由是有价格的。
大多数来这里的移民男女中，女人一般都有留在这里的理由，男人一般都有离开这里的原因，如果，生活中能有一种想去桂林而一直为之努力的希望甚至好过希望真正来临的时候面对现实的每一个侧面。
希望没有打消你的勇气。

I have to thank you for your complement and it is not uncommon for some
people to comment like that. However, I know myself clearly. Let me put it this
way. I am just a common man with common wish to try to look like uncommon from
other common people which is not uncommon at all. What else should I say? Most
people do have sparkling ideas from time to time. Either they don't bother to
write it down and let others know or they don't have time and don't realize it
is marvellous idea. Internet changes people's life style dramatically and
continues to do this for unforeseeable period. I can foresee there will be many
unforeseeable events emerging from foreseeable future in a unforeseeable style
to change our foreseeable and unforeseeable life style. (Forgive me, I keep
watching "Yes, prime minister" and try to learn the way British civil servants
talk.)
Apart from all, I consider myself a kind of escapist who tries to escape from
all my duty and responsibility in this society, especially in society of China
today. And that is one fundamental reason for me to leave that country because I
feel I was a kind of alien in that country. You see, I hate kids and pets and
don't want to feed people other than myself, even for my family. Suppose I get
married with whoever might be, the last thing I want to do is to sacrifice
myself to give thing which common woman expects to get. Hence, I highly suspect
there would exist any female sex such that she is willing to accept such a
family life. Marriage, in my personal view, is a kind of exchange for social
resources. Men expect some kind of authority, comfortable life at home. Women
expect to have more social resources for them to give birth of next generation
which is their only purpose of existence in their life. (This has been proved by
Darwin's evolution theory. For example, those female sex who don't want to give
birth or is incompetent to do so, will not convey their gene to next generation.
And the survival generation are all from those female sex who view reproduction
as their sole purpose of life. Hence it is proved the survival female sex should
continue this because their gene decides so.)

我的理解你的问题，实际上是具体的学习方法的问题。这个具体的怎么也就是how的问题。之前是否应该先解决4个W也就是什么what？为什么Why?什么时间when？什么地点where?
C++语言究竟是什么？我推荐去看一下C++之父的一个演讲，让我找一找那个链接再发给你。大师用一个很形象的成语来形容很多人对C++的认识，那就是盲人摸象。很多人片面的认为c++就是面向对象，或者认为就是functional programming，或者是generic programming等等。这些都对，但是都不全面，大师在那个演讲中详细叙述了他发明语言的初衷和他坚持的原则。我之所以提到这个的原因在于让你有一个认识他到底是什么能做什么。这样你才能有思想准备，究竟怎么样去学习去掌握。
什么和为什么往往是紧密相连的。学习一种工具，它的动机是很重要的，那么你学习的这个语言，它究竟能给你带来什么，有一个合理的预期也是非常必要的。
我记得我最早学的语言是delphi，他也有很多优点，比如语法简单严格，没有C语言的那些模糊的弊病。但是在实际中我发现了一个让我难以忍受的缺陷，他并不是系统实现的语言，比如那个时候要去调用windows下的系统API，它的调用方式是不一样的，它的库无法直接去调用windows C的API而需要一个转换。这个是促使我转向C语言的最直接的原因，因为我不希望有一个隔阂阻止我直接访问系统。其实这一点也是大师当初发明C加加语言的一个初衷，就是说他完全兼容C语言，也就是大多数系统的实现语言，他给程序员无隔阂的直接访问系统而且是非常有效率的。但是如果他没有提供比C语言更加有优势的地方，我们为什么要去学习C加加而不是直接使用系统实现的C语言来编程呢？这里就是复杂性的问题，我经常听很多人谈论说C语言比C加加更难，因为它更接触底层，但实际上从复杂度的角度来看，C+加的复杂度远远超过了C语言。我最近一直在研究C加加的语法，相比于C语法C加加的语法复杂的太多太多。我们甚至可以说C语言的语法是相当简单的，他只有一个语法的歧义(就是著名的dangling else)，也就是说使用类似于bison/yacc之类的compiler compiler是可以自动产生一个C语言的编译器的，而C加加语法太复杂，有太多的歧义，这条路几乎是走不通的。
我想说的就是C加加之所以这么复杂，实际上是为了能够解决复杂问题的工具。因为相对于C语言的初衷来说，C语言的目的性是直接管理访问系统而不是解决其他问题。
从这个什么和为什么的问题就能够解答你部分的方法论问题，比如你学C加加语言的目的究竟是什么呢？它的主要应用领域又是什么呢？他一定是为了能够兼顾高效率和解决复杂问题的平衡。这里我想拿C语言和java作为参照，因为前者肯定是极端重视效率，而后者是为了掩盖系统底层的复杂性让程序员专注于解决复杂问题，所以前者兼顾了效率，但是无法应对复杂问题，后者提供解决了复杂问题的途径，但是牺牲了效率。所以当你选择C加加语言的时候，你就要明白，他是一个兼顾了复杂问题的解决方法和效率的一个工具。
我之所以想强调这么多，实际上是想说明C加加语言的复杂原因，也正在于说他是着眼于要解决复杂问题，所以他的语法也非常的复杂。我自认为学习C加加也有一二十年，但是说实话，每天依然能够有新的发现，发现自己的无知与空白。也就是说这个学习的过程是一个永无止境的过程。
另一方面C加加也是一个不断发展的事物，有一段时间在2010年以前它的发展似乎有一段停滞，但是最近10年它又有了突飞猛进的发展，尤其是随着C加加20标准的推出，可以说，他已成为一个脱胎换骨的全新的语言。那么原本就是非常复杂的一个语言，加上它又不断的有大量的新的标准的引入可想而知他的学习过程是有多么的漫长与痛苦。
说了这么多，实际上是为了阐明我对于你的问题的我的看法。是否应当花一年时间去把书读完，或者是先去实践。我觉得一般的做法是两者结合起来。也就是古人所说的，学以致用，所谓的，学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆，尤其对于编程语言的学习，我的个人的看法是更主要的来自于实践，因为C加加语言本身就是一个实际的工具，而且，我想强调的一点是C降价标准并不仅仅包含语言本身语法等等还包含标准库。也就是说你仅仅学习语法本身，而不学习标准库，也是非常不完整的就好比俗话说的练拳不练功一样的道理。

最后一个关于时间的问题，我是想说C加加的学习是非常漫长的过程，我个人的看法是没有两三年可能还不能入门儿。有很多人学习了10年8年，也只不过初窥门径真正登堂入室，十几二十年也未必能够。这个不是夸张，如果你有兴趣去看看，每年的CPPcon，就是每年的C加加大会，这个你可以在YouTube上找到，就明白其中的高手如云，而语言本身是有多么复杂。
好了，我絮絮叨叨的讲了这么多，实际上我个人感觉并没有资格去指导别人，因为我自己也是一个不断学习的学生而已。
