2020/05/26 09:02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------● Even before the feature they are working on is production-ready，是时间状语从句，表示“在功能上线之前”  ● work-in-progress例句：You are strongly encouraged to save your document frequently, back-up regularly, and print your work-in-progress periodically.  ● bug bash In software development, a bug bash is a procedure where all the developers, testers, program managers, usability researchers, designers, documentation folks, and even sometimes marketing people, put aside their regular day-to-day duties and “pound on the product”—that is, each exercises the product in every way they can think of. Because each person will use the product in slightly different (or very different) ways, and the product is getting a great deal of use in a short amount of time, this approach may reveal bugs relatively quickly.在软件开发过程中，所有开发人员、测试人员、项目经理，还有负责可研、设计、文档管理甚至营销的同事，把他们的日常工作放在一边，一起来开“捉虫大会”。换言之，每个人都用他们能想到的方式来操作产品。因为每个人使用产品的方式略有不同（或非常不同），从而使得产品在很短的时间内得到了大量的使用，有助于团队相对较快地发现产品缺陷。  ● Ownership End-to-end product feature ownership 它由 owner（物主、所有权人）加上 ship（表示地位、状态、关系的后缀，例如 leadership/friendship/dictatorship/partnership 等等）组成，本意是“物主身份、产权关系”。 例句：Major breakthroughs have been made in the reform of China’s ownership structure. 在国内，论及所有制（即 ownership）的时候，我们会区分国有企业、集体企业和非公有制企业（包括私营企业）等。而西方国家在对市场中的企业类型进行划分时，更常用的是 private company 和 public company 这两个相对的概念。  初学者看到这组词的时候，容易望文生义，认为 private company 是“私营企业或者民营企业”，那么 public company 一定是“公有体制下的国有企业”。如果这么理解的话，那就大错特错啦。国有企业现在约定俗成的说法叫 state-owned-enterprise，缩写是 SOE。 Privately held companies are—no surprise here—privately held. This means that, in most cases, the company is owned by its founders, management, or a group of private investors. A public company, on the other hand, is a company that has sold all or a portion of itself to the public via an initial public offering (IPO), meaning shareholders have a claim to part of the company’s assets and profits. 最重要的是，一旦一个私人公司成为公众公司（英文可以叫 goes public），就不能再享有闭门经营、少数几个经营者说了算的自由，公众公司必须接受证券交易监督管理委员会的监管，满足定期向股东和公众进行信息披露的要求。公众公司也可以进行“私有化”（privatization，如果是一家上市公司，就是“退市”），私有化和公募上市是一个反向的过程。     ● Most experienced engineers own their work end-to-end: from getting the specification, through implementing it, all the way to rolling it out//全面推出 and validating that it works correctly. ● all the way 表示“一直、自始至终  ● Product-minded engineers often go a step beyond this.  ● 而 even though 引导的从句，往往是在说真实发生的情况，表示“尽管、虽然”的意思。大部分情况下，我们可以直接用 though 或 although 代替，但是不可以说 even although。  even if 引导的从句一般是假设性的，并不符合真实的状况，表示“即使、就算、哪怕”等含义。这么说比较抽象，我们来看具体的例句。而 even though 引导的从句，往往是在说真实发生的情况，表示“尽管、虽然”的意思。大部分情况下，我们可以直接用 though 或 although 代替，但是不可以说 even although。  ● prioritypriority 源于形容词 prior，意思是“优先的、前面的、更重要的事项”。有时候为了表示强调，我们会在 priority 前面加上 top 或者 number one，表示“重中之重、第一优先事项”。它的词根 pri/prim/prin，表示“首先、第一、重要”等含义，我们所熟悉的 primary、prime minister/premier、prince/princess、principal、principle、primate 都带有这个前缀。 ● persistencepersistence 源于形容词 persistent 和动词 persist。从词根的角度看，per=through，是“从头至尾、贯穿始终”的意思（例如 permanent、perpetual 等）；sist=to stand，是“站立”的意思。例如，consist（站在一起 = 组成）、resist（站到反面 = 抵抗）。所以，合在一起这个词就是“始终站立、坚持到底”的意思。动词 persist 一般和介词 in 搭配，意思要看上下文，较多情况下偏贬义，有“顽固坚持、执迷不悟”的意思。 2020/05/26 08:34 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------● interns● hectichate of  hectic,but i’m hectic● get down to bussinessi and my associate get down to bussiness● industryinternet  industry● copyi haven’t seen our company’s copy● proofreadsometimes,testing is proofread work● social media pagesmaintain our social media pages● inquiriesinquiries  is part of pm’s work● clienteleneed to do research on future clientele● hispanichispanic is any spanish speaking group of people● incomingincoming seniors and juniorsfreshman sophomore● stipend(fixed amount)interns can get a stipend for the whole summer● letter of recommendationletter of recommendation is a good thing--------------------------------------------------------------------------------● Malus is bad; bonus is good. malediction is a curse; a benediction (ben′-Ə-DIK′-shƏn) is a blessing,        contrast to malefactor is benefactor (BEN′-Ə-fak′-tƏr), one who does good things for another, as by giving help, providing financial gifts or aid, or coming to the rescue when someone is in need.        ● infidel (IN′-fƏ-dƏl), one who does not have the right faith or religion       ● Benediction and malediction derive from dico, dictus, to say, tell.  ● Dictaphone combines dico /to say，tell/with phone, sound; 录音机● contradict, to say against, or to make an opposite statement Don’t contradict me!”;“That contradicts what I know”)Dictate, dictator, dictation, dictatorial (dik′-tƏ-TAWR′-ee-Əl)—words that signify telling others what to do (“Do as I say!”）  ● Volo, to wish, to will, to be willing (as in malevolent, benevolent), occurs in voluntary, involuntary, volunteer, words too familiar to need definition, and each quite obviously expressing wish or willingness. volition (vō-LISH′-Ən), the act or power of willing or wishing, as in “of her own volition ● when husband and wife, or lovers, quarrel, one of them finally makes a placative gesture if the war no longer fulfills his or her neurotic needs—one of them eventually will wake up some bright morning in a placatory mood. If you are placid (PLAS′-id), you are calm, easygoing, serene, undisturbed—etymologically, you are pleased with things as they are. 平静的       If you are complacent (kƏm-PLAY-sƏnt), you are pleased with yourself (com-, from con-, with, together);         ● You may condone cheating on one’s income tax, shoplifting from a big, impersonal supermarket, or exceeding the speed limit, Condone is built on Latin dono, to give, the root found in donor, one who gives; donate, to give; and donation, a gift.        --------------------------------------------------------------------------------极客 小心那些平淡无奇、人畜无害的简单小词！● Edge case occurs at an extreme (maximum or minimum) operating parameter. Corner case occurs outside of normal operating parameters, specifically when multiple environmental variables or conditions are simultaneously at extreme levels, even though each parameter is within the specified range for that parameter. Boundary case occurs when one of inputs is at or just beyond maximum or minimum limits. 从字面意思上来看，感觉边缘案例和边角案例似乎都是在可允许的范围内，取参数的最大值，边缘案例是一个参数，而边角案例是多个。边界案例似乎就已经达到或略微超出输入的范围。边缘案例和边角案例说的都是操作参数，这个不一定是用户输入的，也可能是环境、温度之类；而边界案例有特指用户输入参数的意思 ● A pragmatic person deals with things in a practical way I suddenly know pm are a kind of pragmatic/præg’mætɪk/ person. ● Edge cases are a funny thing. funny 的意思都是偏负面的要想夸别人很风趣，我们一般不说“You are so funny.”或者“You are a funny guy.”，容易让人误会你在说他“逗比”“二货”之类。而常用的是“You are so much fun” interesting，其实它也是“呵呵”的意思 1.
