谈谈专业 我为什么要聊这个话题呢？这是因为我本人长期兼任北京一家出版社的特约编辑，经常为一些计算机方面的译作进行审稿。我想在这里不客气地指出，现在国内有些译者，胆子真叫大，一本外文图书，不管自己是否看得懂，只要有稿费，都敢拿过来 比如：去年年初有一本Linux方面的译作，译者自称是中关村某家大公司的技术主管，因此我觉得译文质量应当问题不大。没想到我随便找了某一章某一节的某一段，中文、英文一对照，才发现这位译者好象从未用过Linux，连最基本的常识都没有，比如，他竟然将mount ①This section will discuss how to mount or unmount a file system.
②这一部分将讨论如何“增加或减少”一个文件系统。
用过Linux的朋友都知道，mount和unmount是两个最基本的概念，一般 现在有些学公共英语的朋友，有一种看法，他们认为：我虽然不懂专业英语，但我可以买一本专业方面的《英汉词典》，看到不懂的单词，查一查，照样可以 ①Our server will be temporarily down for 3 hours.
②我们的服务器将临时“宕机”三个小时。
总之，我写这篇文章的目的是想说：隔行如隔山，学一个专业的人，如果没有特殊情况，最好不要
