My Planet.

    更改了一下部落格的模版风格，添加了几首自己喜欢的歌曲作为背景音乐。

     这个播放器还不错，Flash播放器，界面是提取的Winamp的Quadelic这个皮肤。播放列表是一个xml文件。找个空间放swf播放器和xml文件以及mp3文件就行了，音量、列表、播放模式都可以自己定制，修改code就可以了。我是放在googlepages的空间上的，google空间大，可以放很多歌曲文件。以前在opera社区的时候显示的整个播放器，在这里由于模版的原因，不能显示整个播放器，只好显示主要部分了，还好不影响列表显示。

    1.我很喜欢。 
    I very like it （Fault）
    I like it very much. (true)
    Note: 这个是典型的chinglish，估计现在是不会有人说错了。

    2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
    The price is very suitable for me. （fault)
    The price is right.
    Note：suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上，如：下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
   
    3. 你是做什么工作的呢？
    What's your job? （fault)
    Are you working at the moment?
    Note：what's  your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗？是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业，如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子，所以您要问：目前您是在上班吗？Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问：目前您在哪儿工作呢？Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢？What line of work are you in?顺带说一下，回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点，不要只是说经理或者秘书
   
    4. 用英语怎么说？
    How to say? （fault)
    How do you say this in English?
    Note：How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一，这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有：请问这个词如何拼写？How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读？How do you pronounce this word?
   
    5. 明天我有事情要做。
    I have something to do tomorrow? （fault)
    Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
    用I have something to do来表示您很忙，这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙，脱不开身：I'm tied up.还有其他的说法：I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home.
  
    6. 我没有英文名。
    I haven't English name. （fault)
    I don't have an English name.
    Note：许多人讲英语犯这样的错误，从语法角度来分析，可能是语法功底欠缺，因为have在这里是实义动词，而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以，这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。
    明白道理是一回事，习惯是另一回事，请您再说几话：我没有钱；I don't have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹；I don't have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don't have a car.
   
    7. 我想我不行。
    I think I can't.（fault)
    I don't think I can.
    Note：这一组然是个习惯问题，在语法上称为否定前置，这就是汉语里面说?我想我不会?的时候，英语里面总是说?我不认为我会?。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候，只要您留心，也会习惯英语的说法的。
   
    8. 我的舞也跳得不好。
    I don't dance well too. （fault)
    I am not a very good dancer either.
    Note：当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候，英语里面通常用not good at something，英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到：我不是一个好的舞者。
  
    9. 现在几点钟了？
    What time is it now? （fault)
    What time is it, please?
    Note：What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子，讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tomorrow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是：请问现在几点了？还有一种说法是：How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
   
    10. 我的英语很糟糕。
    My English is poor. （fault)
    I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
    Note：有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是：My English is poor.实话说，我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说：My Chinese is poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏，他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I am getting better.
    当您告诉外国人，您的英语很poor，so what(那又怎么样呢)，是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢，还是说我的英语不好，咱们不谈了吧。
    另外一个更大的弊端是，一边不停的学英语，一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气，又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。
    我坚信，先不谈别的，如果您现在就苦下功夫，把这本薄薄的《英语54321》吃通吃透，您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说：我的英语很poor.
    您可以实事求是地说，我的英语还不算十分流利，但至少我在进步。

    11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗？
    Would you like to join our party on Friday? （fault)
    Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
    Note：join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会，如：join a health club; join the Communist Party.事实上，常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。
   
    12. 我没有经验。
    I have no experience. （fault)
    I don't know much about that.
    Note：I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说：那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.
   
    13. 我没有男朋友。
    I have no boyfriend. （fault)
    I don't have a boyfriend.
   
    14. 他的身体很健康。
    His body is healthy. （fault)
    He is in good health. You can also say: He抯 healthy.
  
    15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。
    The price is too expensive/cheap. （fault)
    The price is too high/ rather low.
   
    16. 我们下了车。
    We got off the car.
    We got out of the car.
   
    17. 车速快了。
    The speed of the car is fast.
    The car is speeding. Or 揟he car is going too fast.?
   
    18. 这个春节你回家吗？
    Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
    是的，我回去。Of course! （这一句是错的）
    当然。Sure. / Certainly.（这种说法是正确的）
    以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多，只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of course后面隐含的一句话是?当然我知道啦！难道我是一个傻瓜吗？?因此，of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时，用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时，of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.  

    19. 我觉得右手很疼。
    I feel very painful in my right hand. （fault)
    My right hand is very painful. Or ? My right hand hurts(aches).? 

    20. 他看到她很惊讶。
    He looked at her and felt surprised. （fault)
    He looked at her in surprise  

    21. 我读过你的小说但是没料到你这么年轻。
     I have read your novels but I didn't think you could be so young. （fault)
    After having read your novel, I expected that you would be older.

    22. 她脸红了，让我看穿了她的心思。
    Her red face made me see through her mind. （fault)
    Her red face told me what she was thinking.

    23. 看到这幅画让我想到了我的童年时代。
    The sight of these pictures made me remember my own childhood. （fault)
    Seeing these pictures reminded me of my own childhood.

    24. 别理她。
    Don't  pay attention to her. （fault)
    Leave her alone.

    25. 我在大学里学到了许多知识。
    I get a lot of knowledge in the university. （fault)
    I learned a lot in university.

    26. 黄山正在读书。
    Samuel is reading a book. （fault)
    Samuel is reading.

    27. 我遇到了很多困难。
    I am having many difficulties. （fault)
    I am having a few problems / lots of problems.

    28. 请快点走，否则我们会迟到的。
    Please hurry to walk or we'll be late. （fault)
    Please hurry up or we'll be late.

    29. 她由嫉妒转向失望。
    She was so jealous that she became desperate. （fault)
    Jealousy drove her to despair.

    参加工作以来，虽然天天都会看英文资料，但是英语的听说能力真是比当年还不如了，倍感惭愧！

    前几天，高新区通知公司行政，说是有个老外来找集成电路的工作，没想到还真来了。李教授让我去看看，面试一下。嘿嘿，去就去吧，who 怕 who？

    老外是个伊朗人，加拿大留学过来的，还有工作经验的，就是伊朗腔有点难懂。怎么面试老外呢？还是用对付老中那套吧，随便问问都学过什么做过什么之类的。这个老外做过的东西挺多的，数字正向IC设计，FPGA设计，板级设计，系统设计，还都会。

    然后我就再介绍一下我们是做什么的吧。我说我们是做FPGA芯片的，这下就麻烦了。平常给老中讲这个的时候就有些歧义，我说我们是做FPGA的吧，人家通常会理解为用FGPA作设计验证，我说我们是做这个FPGA母片的，别人就是明白了。所以我就说“We design the FPGA chips”，他还是认为我们用FPGA作设计验证，然后我又用了develop，design the FPGA die，强调了是die，结果他还是理解不了，不是理解为用FPGA验证，就是理解成做FPGA开发板。还不行？那就绕着弯说了。

    “Xilinx has Virtex, and Altera has Stratix, and we want to have our own FPGAs。” 哈哈，这下还不明白的话我就真没辙了。他终于明白了。“You make FPGA? ”我差点当场晕倒。因为我们是Fabless的Designhouse，只做design，没有Fab，所以一直没有用make, produce, manufacture, fabricate等词，结果他用了，早知道就不这么麻烦了:(

    最终他认为这个工作太难了，不过我觉得还是给不起人家工资啊，嘿嘿。

    不行了，该找机会多练练英语了。

    前面发的几个日志都是从my opera搬过来的，总算安顿好了。

    由于GFW的原因，原来那个部落格http://my.opera.com/zengbo访问不了了，于是搬家了，这个空间还不错，可以css自定制。

    用OperaTor可以访问被GFW的站点，比如Wiki、Myopera等，改天我给个下载链接出来，只有6M多，绿色软件，可以放到U盘或移动硬盘上使用。

    Perl is a high-level programming language. Larry Wall invented Perl and thousands have contributed their time making it a very powerful tool. Perl borrows heavily from the C programming language and copies the really useful bits from sed, awk, Unix shell, and many other tools and languages.

    Perl Productivity
    Perl's process, file, and text manipulation facilities make it particularly well-suited for tasks involving automatic code generation, report filtering, netlist patching, generating test vectors and controlling tools. Perl is FREE so maybe you should use it too.
Followings offer advice and examples for improving design productivity through with Perl.

    Automatic Code Generation
    Perl has been used for translating between related languages: VHDL to Verilog, Xilinx Netlist Files to VHDL, VHDL to SystemC, etc. Source files with low originality are prime candidates for automatic generation.VHDL engineers regularly write testbenches. We've written an online demonstration to show you how Perl can do it for you. Perl is also useful for Coding Style conformance checking and enforcement.

    Report Filtering
    EDA tools are notorious for creating verbose report files. Many megabytes of text may contain little interesting information. Perl is well matched to extracting key information quickly.

    Netlist Patching
    EDA tools within design flows never fit together perfectly. Often, really useful features are unsupported. Netlists generated from one tool need modifying before the next tool will read them. Perl is well matched to intelligent search and replace jobs.

    Generating Test Vectors
    Perl can apply rules for generating sophisticated test vector patterns: ATM packets, MPEG streams, QAM samples with added noise, etc.

    Controlling Tools
    Perl is able to call any tool installed on its host computer. Perl can even run Telnet and FTP sessions to control remote computers. Any task involving more than one tool can be automated using a Perl script.A Perl script might run a tool, filter the textual output then decide whether to: modify constraints and try again, move on to the next tool in the flow or abort and send email notification to a project leader.

    Where To Get Perl
    Many operating systems support Perl. Most importantly ports exist for, Linux, Windows and versions of Unix. The standard Perl release is available in source code only. However, hardware engineers don't have time to compile their own and binary distributions are freely available. You can find ports for many operating systems on CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network. Currently, Doulos use the free ActivePerl distributions from ActiveState for Solaris and Windows.

    Regular Expressions
    Almost every Perl script uses regular expressions. We've written a Perl Regular Expression Viewer tool to help you write them faster. Download your free copy now.

    Essential Perl training
    To become a skilled and efficient user of Perl for hardware design, you need to attend Essential Perl, an intensive 3 day course teaching the application of Perl specifically to ASIC, FPGA and PLD design.
