每次都来学习你的文章的 受益匪浅 今天 看了你的 11.18,有几点异意, 文章的倒数第二段的论述不是很清楚
In addition to that, in terms of science or technology, and the sources of earth, holding the secrets of patents back forever is of little benefit, even harmful. Old technologies are always replaced by new and more efficient ones, and the displacement lays its bedrock in complete study of the old ones.(你的意思大概是发展新技术需要了解和学习旧的技术,姑且不论这个是否合理,因为很多技术的开发正是抛弃了过去的定式思维才更上一层楼的,问题是后一句)If companies always conceal what they have achieved for its own and short-term sake, it will be pretty hard for new and more advanced technology to come up.(这里十分不没明白,如果公司保密,怎么会让发展新技术困难呢{毕竟公司自己内部的知道啊,保密也一般只的是对竞争对手吧},如果楼主的意思是让与其竞争的公司发展困难,并且要重复的消耗资源的话,这里的指代略显混乱)The development will be postponed, and we will pay more to produce what we need and increase the burden of earth, while it should not be that much. The lost is of course larger than the short-term benefit those companies may gain. Consequently, the eternal patents are harmful.
