為何要學科技英文

科技英文是科技溝通的語言

• 科學學術傳統，使用拉丁文與希臘語，都保留在英文當中 (拉丁文，Ficus Microcarpa，希臘文，Psychology)
• 科技英文 vs. 國際邦交語文
• 增加精確性 
• Let's take a walk.
• Let me walk you out.
• I got to walk my dog.
• "People from all walks of life gathered here."
• 中文，沒有詞類，沒有時態，(常)沒有主詞，沒有介系詞，沒有關係子句，描述科學不夠精確

1. 住宅，宅在家，你很宅
2. 我去希臘，天空很希臘
3. 你很美，美白，美學

• 英文文法重要嗎? (想想法文，外商經驗）

English in the AI era

• Karpathy : 自然語言(英文)是最好的程式語言 
• 實例: ，清晰的提示(Prompt)，撰寫程式，遊戲製作, 系統模擬，系統設計，系統介面
