  In this article, I’d like to acknowledge the
  1)unsung heroes also known as Geeks. From his book Leading Geeks, Paul Glen defines them (…uh, us) as “the highly intelligent, usually 2)introverted, extremely valuable, independent-minded, hard-tofind, difficult-to-keep technology workers who are essential to the future of the organization.” Another characteristic of Geeks, according to Glen is that they’ve got lots of love, caffeine, 3)carbohydrates, and 4)saturated fat.
  Maybe it is no surprise that these workers are hiding in data centers, heads down developing websites, or fixing problems on laptops—drinking Red Bull and eating pizza, of course. Yesterday’s Geeks are 5)masquerading today as 6)CIOs, 7)CTOs, or some flavor of manager or executive (before Red Bull it was coffee or 8)Mountain Dew and pizza). And what of this thing called programming? Who does it now? Well, Geeks did and they still do!
  1) unsung [???????] adj. 未赞颂的
  2) introverted [????????????] adj. 内向的,含蓄的
  3) carbohydrate [????????????????] n. 碳水化合物
  4) saturated [????????????] fat 饱和脂肪酸,一种遇冷即会凝结的油脂,会令血液中的低密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平上升
  Geeks are people who deliver technology innovations no matter what era you are from. When you find them, give them a hug. You may in fact wonder if you are a Geek. Here are some clues (feel free to add more). You know you’re a Geek if…
  …you see the world in 13)4K pages.
  …you have an iPhone, a BlackBerry, an iPad, a laptop, a PC, and a Mac.
  …you know what 14)thrashing is and believe it is inherently evil.
  …you know what 15)ASP, 16)HASP, and 17)JES are but can’t remember your kids’ names.
  …you loved geometry and hated the 18)prom.
  …you can’t remember phone numbers but you remember IP addresses.
  …you use the terms “19)do loop” and“20)no op” in non-technical contexts.

  极客是那些开创技术改革的人,无论他来自于什么时代。如果你遇到他们,请给他们一个拥抱。你或许也怀疑自己是不是极客。这里有一些提示(欢迎补充)。如果你是个极客,那么……
  ……在你的眼里,世界都是以4K解析度页面呈现的。
  ……你有一部iPhone手机、黑莓手机、iPad、手提电脑、个人电脑和苹果电脑。
  ……你知道什么是系统颠簸,并认为它天生邪恶。
  ……你知道什么是ASP、HASP和JES,却记不住自己孩子的名字。
  ……你喜欢几何学,却讨厌毕业舞会。
  ……你记不住电话号码,却记得IP地址。
  ……你会在非技术语境中使用“循环语句”和“无作业”。
  还有更多吗?

本文节选自爱尔兰新锐作家约翰·伯恩2006年出版的小说——《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》。反映二战题材的书籍有不少,或激烈,或偏执,视角各异,有的以宏大著称,有的以奇诡出位,但是以一个孩童的视角来引领读者再次审视那次战争的书籍,可谓没有之一。书中讲述一个8岁男孩布鲁诺一家随着纳粹军官父亲的一纸调令,由柏林迁至乡下。失去朋友们的布鲁诺很快对新家附近的“农庄”产生兴趣,那里有一群身穿“条纹睡衣”的人终日忙碌。布
