笔记

6. Software Systems

📌 “The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures.”
Frederick P. Brooks, The Mythical Man-Month, 1975.

📌 feel safe and secure
💭 Safe 和 Secure 都可以表示“安全”,但它们的侧重点不同。
1. Safe 强调的是免于伤害、危险或风险,通常指客观状态。
• 侧重“没有危险”或“不会受伤害”
• 适用于人、环境、物品等
• 例子:
• Is it safe to swim here?(这里游泳安全吗?)
• Keep the children safe.(让孩子们保持安全。)
• This medicine is safe to use.(这种药可以安全使用。)
2. Secure 强调的是保护、保障,使其不受威胁,通常指人为采取措施确保安全。
• 侧重“受到保护”或“被固定好”
• 适用于系统、财产、信息、环境等
• 例子:
• Make sure the door is secure before leaving.(离开前确保门锁好。)
• Your account is secure with two-factor authentication.(你的账户有双重认证保护,很安全。)
• The data is stored in a secure server.(数据存储在安全的服务器上。)
简单区分:
• Safe:自然状态下没有危险(例如,这座城市很安全)。
• Secure:通过外部措施确保安全(例如,银行有安保系统)。

📌 if at all
💭 The phrase “if at all” is used to indicate that something might be true or might happen, but there is a significant doubt about it. It emphasizes the uncertainty or improbability of the situation being referenced. For example, “He understood the topic, if at all, in a very superficial manner” suggests that his understanding is dubious.
Usage:

  1. To express doubt: “She will contribute to the meeting, if at all.”
  2. To indicate minimal possibility: “They will arrive on time, if at all.”
    This phrase often serves to diminish the likelihood of the statement being considered true.
