我记得特别清楚：那时我第一次坐到键盘前—在一个有无数张纸出来的“线性印刷”终端—-玩一个“星球旅行”（星际旅行是一个美国科幻小说系列以及相关的娱乐产品如电视剧，电脑游戏等等，距今已有四十年的历史）的游戏。

I remember perfectly the first time I sat at a keyboard – at a “line printing” terminal, which had an endless sheet of paper spooling through it – to play a game of “Star Trek”.

当花了好几个年头，第一次测出人类基因组的百分之一时，他们操心自己永远完不成测序，但他们的工作进展很快就呈现出指数曲线性。

When it took years to sequence the first 1 percent of the human genome, they worried they'd never finish, but they were right on schedule for an exponential curve.

如果某些问题(比如代数和线性代数)一次又一次的出现，我就做些练习去确认我是否真正的理解它了。

If something comes up again and again (like algebra and linear algebra), then I'll start doing some exercises to make sure I really understand it.
