book seven
thus spake the master programmer:
编程大师如是说：
\"you can demonstrate a program for a corporate executive, but you can't make
him computer literate.\"
###
“你可以向一位公司主管演示一套程序，但你不能让他的电脑变得象人一样。”
7.1
a novice asked the master: \"in the east there is a great tree-structure that
men call 'corporate headquarters'. it is bloated out of shape with vice-pre
sidents and accountants. it issues a multitude of memos, each saying 'go, he
nce!' or 'go, hither!' and nobody knows what is meant. every year new names
are put onto the branches, but all to no avail. how can such an unnatural en
tity exist?\"
一个新学问大师：“在东方，有一个庞大的机构，人们称作总部。它由为数众多的大小
领导。每天发出大量的备忘录，每个备忘录都说：‘干这个，干那个’，没有一个人知
道它是什么意思。每年这个机构都会有更多的人加进来而变得越来越大，但是去没有人
去做事情。怎么烩样奇怪的东西还能存在呢？”
