有些人對理論總是抱有敵視態度﹐認定理論脫離現實沒有任何用處﹐只是象牙塔內蛋頭學者的無聊玩意。可是我從小讀理科長大﹐更接受工程系的洗禮﹐透過理論去理解事物﹐就彷如呼吸般與生俱來的本能﹐我完全不能理解為什麼有人會排拆理論。這本書的作者是社會學教授﹐給大學一年級生上理論課時﹐看到學生如墮百里雲霧內﹐完全迷失在理論的大海中。於是他決定寫一本淺白易明的書﹐為學生解釋學習理論的重要性。這本書並不是解釋那些深奧複習的理論﹐而是供提一個關於理論架構的地圖﹐讓學生不再恐俱和壓惡理論。… [...]

It was the most popular computer magazine back then. Another computer magazine I used to read is the Byte Magazine, which flopped a few years ago. In Hong Kong imported magazine was expensive… [...] Today is a busy day. Since I left home at 9:30a.m. in the morning, I had went to 6 different events non-stopped. First attended the Sunday mass as I had promised yesterday, then have dim-sum with colleagues that happen to go to the same church.… [...] |
