English英语词条或短语:Although pleased to be so popular among my peers,...
It might have ended there; after all, how habit-forming can a single translation be? I soon found out, as other colleagues, researchers in other groups with whom I rarely exchanged a word, heard of the wizard that could transmute one language into another and beat a path to my office asking me to disclose the mysteries of French scientific research. Although pleased to be so popular among my peers, it eventually dawned on me that the service I was providing might be marketable; a simple search of the yellow pages confirmed it. I made a few phone calls, sent out a few—very short—résumés, introduced myself, and waited. The response was not overwhelming, but encouraging nevertheless, insofar as I was working as an engineer at a semiconductor company, and transistors were on the verge of becoming the microcircuits that eventually paved Silicon Valley. The lesson was not lost: language may be the prerequisite, but what they want is specialization.
