## **1 个月攻坚英语**
Q：你好，你在哪里上的大学？
A：我是 powellli, 2004年就读于电子科技大学，学的是通信工程专业。我的学校在四川省，位于中国西部，离我的家乡江西非常远。我在大学里开始热爱写代码，并尝试用代码解决了很多实际的问题，这些让我毕业后成为一名程序员

Q: Hello, where did you go to college?

A: My name is powellli. I went to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2004, majoring in Communication Engineering.

My university is in Sichuan Province, western China, quite far from my hometown Jiangxi Province .

I got really into coding during college and tried to solve problems with it. This led me to become a programmer after graduation.

Q：你来自于哪里？在哪个省？
A：我的家乡在江西省，它在广东省的北边。它不是一个知名的地方，主要的产业是农业，最近它最出名的是江西菜非常辣。

Q：那你为什么不在江西上大学，而是要去四川呢？
A：因为我想离家远一点，哈哈。我觉得在家里看到的东西太局限了，所以我去了一个很远的地方。当然我最后发现四川和江西也差不多。

Q: Where are you from? Which province?
A: My hometown is in Jiangxi Province, the north of Guangdong.It's become famous for its very spicy food.

Q: So why didn't you go to university in Jiangxi, but instead went to Sichuan?
A: I felt what I saw at home was too limited, so I went somewhere quite far away. 

Q：你什么时候加入腾讯的？为什么要加入腾讯？
A：我是2011年加入腾讯，并开始做腾讯云，几乎是腾讯云最早的员工了。我在2010年的时候在facebook看了一篇文章，说是社交网络将会是未来，我对社交网络非常感兴趣。我认为腾讯就是中国的facebook，所以我只面试过腾讯这一家公司，并且进来了

Q：为什么在腾讯云工作了这么长的时间？
A：我本来想做社交网络，比如微信和QQ。但是因为我有一些云计算的技能，公司让我加入到腾讯云。我认为腾讯云的工作非常非常辛苦，但是它很重要，云计算能给我们的客户提供良好的基础设施，并且他们也很喜欢我。

Q: When did you join Tencent? Why did you join Tencent?
A: I joined Tencent in 2011 and started working on Tencent Cloud, almost as one of the earliest employees there.
In 2010, I read an article on Facebook that said social networking would be the future, and I was very interested in it. I thought Tencent was China's Facebook, so I only interviewed with Tencent and got in.

Q: Why have you worked at Tencent Cloud for such a long time?
A: I originally wanted to work on social networks, like WeChat and QQ.
But since I had some cloud computing skills, the company assigned me to Tencent Cloud.
Working here has been really challenging, but it's very important. Cloud provides our customers with solid infrastructure, and they also like me a lot.

Q：你在工作中负责什么？有什么挑战和意义？
A：我现在负责腾讯云的计算产品，包括虚拟机、GPU等等。挑战主要在于我们提供了很好的基础设施，但客户认为不够，比如他们希望更多运维相关的功能，而这些功能往往很难做到统一的产品化，我们花费了大量的时间去服务单个用户的需求。当然我这里十三年了，我们知道怎么处理好。现在最大的挑战是，如何更好服务好海外的客户，比如美国和新加坡。这份工作的意义在于我们能帮助客户解决问题，尤其是互联网以外的行业，它们的业务跟腾讯并不相似，但是服务好传统行业的数字化系统是更有价值的。

Q: What are you responsible for at work? What are the challenges and significance of your role?
A: I am currently in charge of Tencent Cloud's computing products, including virtual machines, GPUs, and so on.
The main challenge is that we provide good infrastructure, but customers think it's not enough. For example, they want more operations-related features, which are hard to standardize.
We spend a lot of time on specific[spɪˈsɪfɪk] customer needs. After thirteen years, we know how to handle these.
The biggest challenge now is how to serve customers overseas, such as those in the United States and Southeast Asia.
The significance of this job is that we can help customers solve problems, especially in traditional industries.
Their businesses are different from Tencent’s, but serving the digital systems of traditional industries is more valuable.

Q: 你认为你的英语技能有哪些长处和短处？
A：我差不多只是能阅读，这是唯一的长处了。其它的比如听、说、写，都很糟糕

Q：你学习英语的目标是什么？
A：我希望能和别人用英语交流

Q: What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of your English skills?
A: I can read. Listening, speaking, and writing skills are quite poor.

Q: What is your goal in learning English?
A: I hope to be able to communicate with others in English.

家乡

Q：你的家乡有什么有意思的事不？
A：前面说过了，我的家乡以吃辣著称。除了这以外，我印象中的家乡是一个风景优美的中国南方城镇，它有很多小山和河流，那里各种各样的动物和植物。

Q：你的家乡的气候怎么样？
A：对于植物来说，阳光和雨水都比较充足。但是对人来说，夏天热并且冬天冷，有时候也挺不好受的。

Q：你的家乡离深圳有多远，你什么时候会回去？
A：我家离深圳大概有800公里，开车需要10个小时，但是通过高铁只需要3.5个小时。我每年会回去一到两次，因为我的父母在那里。

Q: Is there anything interesting in your hometown?
A: As I mentioned before, my hometown is famous for its spicy food. In addition to this, in my impression, my hometown is a beautiful southern Chinese town with many hills and rivers, and there are all kinds of animals and plants there.

Q: What's the climate like in your hometown?
A: For plants, there is sufficient sunlight and rain. But for people, it's hot in summer and cold in winter, which is sometimes uncomfortable.

Q: How far is your hometown from Shenzhen? When will you go back?
A: My home is about 800 kilometers away from Shenzhen. It takes 10 hours by car, but only 3.5 hours by high-speed rail. I go back once or twice a year because my parents are there.


学习经历

Q：你的大学专业是什么？为什么要选择这个专业？
A： 我的专业是通信工程。因为我一直对信息可以快速传输到非常遥远的地方非常着迷，它就像是魔法一样。

Q：你觉得特别有意思的是哪一点？
A：信息的编码和解码，我们可以通过数学的方式让信息变成数字化，保证准确而且防止被窃听。

Q：你现在的工作跟这些有关系吗？
A：不完全相同，但也有很大的关联。我毕业之后是程序员，现在是一个产品管理人员，这些都跟通信工程一样，属于信息化和数字化的领域。

Q: What's your college major? Why did you choose this major?
A: My major is communication engineering. Because I have always been fascinated by the fact that information can be transmitted quickly to very distant places. It's like magic.

Q: What do you think is particularly interesting?
A: Information encoding and decoding. We can digitize information in a mathematical way to ensure accuracy and prevent eavesdropping.

Q: Is your current job related to these?
A: It's not exactly the same, but there is also a great connection. After graduation, I was a programmer. Now I am a product manager. These are all in the field of informatization and digitization, just like communication engineering.


工作经历
Q：你的工作经历是怎么样的？
A：我毕业以后一直在腾讯云工作。一开始是做程序员，写了计算产品的第一行代码。然后为了让产品变得更好，我在工作8年后做了产品经理，逐渐也成为了管理者。现在负责整个计算产品的管理工作。

Q：你觉得做程序员和产品经理有什么不一样吗？
A：还是挺不一样的。程序员需要学习很多技术细节知识，工作负荷也比较大，但是它更多的是一些确定性的工作任务。产品经理更需要规划产品的方向，还有很多沟通与合作的事情，它有很多不确定性的任务。其实我更喜欢做程序员，它比较适合我。

Q：你的职业生涯中最闪光的一件事是什么？
A：我在2013年设计的程序框架非常简明清晰，保障了这么多年来的系统稳定和快速响应，直到现在还在线上运行。如果是最近，那我们在2024年取得了非常好的经营回报，开始获得大量盈利。

Q: What's your work experience?
A: I have been working at Tencent Cloud since graduation. At first, I was a programmer and wrote the first line of code for computing products. Then, in order to make the product better, after eight years of work, I became a product manager and gradually became a manager. Now I am responsible for the management of the entire computing product.

Q: What do you think is the difference between being a programmer and a product manager?
A: It's quite different. Programmers need to learn a lot of technical details and have a relatively heavy workload, but most of their tasks are more certain. Product managers need to plan the direction of products more and there are many things involving communication and cooperation. There are many uncertain tasks. Actually, I prefer being a programmer. It suits me better.

Q: What is the most shining thing in your career?
A: The program framework I designed in 2013 is very concise and clear, ensuring the system stability and rapid response over all these years. It is still running online until now. If it's recent, then in 2024 we achieved very good business returns and began to make a large amount of profit.


个人生活
Q：你有哪些家庭成员？
A：我已经结婚好多年了，我有一对双胞胎儿子，他们今年8岁，在上小学二年级。我的父母在老家生活。

Q：你跟小孩的相处怎么样？
A：他们很喜欢我。我在周末会陪他们去公园玩，我会在他们睡前给他们讲历史故事，偶尔也会带他们出去旅游。

Q：你什么时候认识你的妻子的？
A：我的妻子是我的高中同学，所以那是二十多年前。在大学的时候我开始跟她约会，然后我们一起来到深圳，并且结婚了。

Q: Who are your family members?
A: I have been married for many years. I have a pair of twin sons. They are eight years old this year and are in the second grade of primary school. My parents live in my hometown.

Q: How do you get along with your children?
A: They like me very much. I will accompany them to the park on weekends. I will tell them historical stories before they go to bed. Occasionally, I will also take them on trips.

Q: When did you meet your wife?
A: My wife is my high school classmate, so it was more than twenty years ago. I started dating her in college, and then we came to Shenzhen together and got married.

兴趣爱好
Q：你有什么兴趣爱好？
A： 工作以外，我会做一些锻炼以保持身体健康。我是经常在公园跑步和做一些器械运动，比如卧推和引体向上。经过几年的训练，我现在拥有还不错的体能。

Q：你跑步的频率是怎么样的？如何坚持跑步呢？
A：我大概每周跑三次到四次，每次五到十公里，不会跑得很快。坚持跑步的秘诀在于：你可以在跑步的时候非常放松，并且想想工作和生活以外的事情，比如如何投资和学习英语。

Q：你喜欢读书或者看电影吗？
A： 我特别喜欢，但为了锻炼身体，我目前没有太多时间去做这些。以前我每周会看十个小时以上的心理学或社会学的书籍。

Q: What are your hobbies?
A: Outside of work, I do some exercises to keep fit. I often run in the park and do some weightlifting exercises, such as bench press and pull-ups. After several years of training, I now have fairly good physical fitness.

Q: What's your running frequency? How do you stick to running?
A: I run about three to four times a week, five to ten kilometers each time, not very fast. The secret to sticking to running is that you can be very relaxed while running and think about things other than work and life, such as how to invest and learn English.

Q: Do you like reading or watching movies?
A: I especially like it, but in order to exercise, I don't have much time to do these at present. In the past, I would read books on psychology or sociology for more than ten hours a week.
