It's true that high-school coding classes aren't essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science.
确实,对于高中的编程课对于在大学学习计算机科学并不是必须的。即使是学生没有经验也可以在一些入门课程后赶上来,卡梅隆计算机学院副院长Tom Cortina说这样说道。
essential:adj. 必要的; 基本的,本质的; 精华的n. 必需品; 基本要素; 本质,实质 catch up:phrase. 把…很快地拾起,急促地举起phrase. 挽起phrase. 把…缠住,把…卷入;把…迷住 phrase. 赶上,追上phrase. 赶上某人(或某事物)phrase. 跟上并理解phrase. 采用,借用 phrase. 打断phrase. 向…提供最新消息phrase. <用于美国西部>在旅行前准备马(或骡、牛等) introductory:adj. 序言的, 引导的, 介绍的, 入门的 dean:n. (大学的)学院院长,系主任
However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it's not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers - but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It's not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.
然而,科尔蒂纳说:较早的接触计算机科学还是有益处的。当你的小孩学习计算机科学后他就会知道计算机科学不仅仅是令人费解,无穷无尽的字符串、字母和数字,而是一种构建app,创造艺术品,检验假设的工具。这个并不想年纪的学生那样困难去转变他们的思想过程。把大问题分解成多个小问题并且运用编程去解决他们。给跟多的孩子编程训练可以增长对这个邻域有兴趣的人们的数量并且有助于填补这类工作缺口,科尔蒂纳说道。
exposure:n. 暴露(于危险);受冻;揭发;宣传;底片 beneficial:adj. 有益的,有利的 confusing:adj. 难以理解的, 不清楚的v. “confuse”的现在分词 endless:adj. 无止境的, 无垠的, 无穷无尽的, 不计其数的 artwork:n. 艺术作品, 插图, 美术品, 插画 test:n. 试验, 检测, 考试, 测验v. 试验, 测试, 检测, 测验 hypotheses:n. 假定;臆测(hypothesis的复数) Breaking down:phrase. 【电】击穿, 中断, 冲淡(电池酸液)破解,瓦解 bite-sized:adj. 一口能吃下的, 小块的, 很小的, 很短的 chunks:n. 大块, 厚块, 厚片, 相当大的量v. 放弃, 【机】用卡盘夹紧, 〈口语〉抛出,逐出,抛弃 transform:v. 转换,变形;改善,使改头换面 processes:n. 进程, 流程, 工序, 工艺流程v. 处理, 加工, 审核, 数据处理 adj. 经过特殊加工的, (用化学方法等)处理过的, 照相制版的, 三色版的
Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.
在进入大学前学生们同样也收益于学习一些编程知识,在大学学习计算机科学的课程被排得满满当当的,这会让那些缺少经验和没有决心的学生离开。
The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that's become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but "we try to gear lessons toward things they're interested in," said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.
在编程学校,人们去学习编程,开始作为一种编程训练营正在越来越收换职业的成年人的欢迎。高中生也开始学习相同的课程,但是我们尝试去使课程符合他们的兴趣,VF说道,一个导师。例如:学生们正在开发的一个应用程序可以基于你的心情推荐电影。
packed to:打包 brim:n. (东西的)边缘, 边; 帽檐v. 满溢; 溢出; 充满[某种事物、品质或情感] be packed to the brim 排得满满当当 determined:adj. 决心, 决定, 决意, 坚定的v. “determine”的过去式和过去分词 the flatiron school 熨斗学校,教授编程的学校 bootcamps:n.[C] 训练营,培训机构 popular:adj. 受喜爱的, 受欢迎的, 当红的, 通俗的n. 大众音乐会 high-schoolers:高中生 curriculum:n. (学校等的)全部课程 gear:v. 使适合于 ,to gear lessons toward things they're interested in 使课程符合他们的兴趣 instructor:n. 教练;导师;(大学)讲师 suggests:v. 建议;推荐;暗示,显示,表明 mood:n. 情绪, 心情, 气氛, 氛围
The students in the Flatiron class probably won't drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the "Ruby on Rails" language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn - how to think logically through a problem and organize the results - apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.
在编程课上的学生可能不会从高中辍学并且可能造出下一个脸书。编程语言会快速的更新迭代,正如他们学习的Ruby on Rails这种编程语言,可能还没等到他们进入工作就已经被淘汰了。但是他们学习到的如何逻辑的思考问题和组织结果的技能,适用于任何编程语言,北卡罗莱州一个教育顾问,Deborah Seehorn说道。
relevant:adj. 相关的;适当的
Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers-in their pockets ,in their offices, in their homes -for the rest of their lives, The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want -the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that -the better.
的确,这个编程学校的学生可能根本就不会进入IT行业。但是创造未来一大批的程序员并不是这个课程的唯一目的。这些孩子将来会被计算机所环绕,在他们的口袋里,在他们办公室,在他们的家里,日后的生活中都是这样。他们越早学习计算机工作原理,越早让计算机为他所用,越早学习这些技能越好。
Indeed:adv. 的确,确实(强调肯定的陈述或答复) army:n. 陆军部队, 大批, 陆上作战军队, (一国的)陆军 sole:adj. 唯一的,仅有的;独占的n. 脚底,鞋底 surrounded:adj. 被……环绕着的 coax:v. 劝诱, 哄劝n. 同轴电缆, 花言巧语, 油嘴滑舌的人 younger:adj. 幼小的, 未成熟的, 年轻的, 岁数不大的 n. 青年人, 幼崽, 幼兽, 幼鸟
