【#微软正在开发英伟达网卡的替代品#】微软公司正在开发一种新的网卡，用来提高其人工智能芯片Maia的性能，最终达到减少对英伟达产品依赖的目的。微软CEO萨提亚·纳德拉已经任命通信设备巨头瞻博网络的联合创始人Pradeep Sindhu领导网卡项目的工作。Sindhu团队本次目标打造的新网卡，类似于英伟达的ConnectX-7网卡，主要用于提高服务器的流量速度。报道称，开发过程可能需要超过一年的时间，如果成功，将有望缩短OpenAI在微软服务器上训练模型所需的时间，并降低训练过程的成本。
今週は、レギュラーゲスト＜岡田崇さん＞と＜コシミハルさん＞を迎えての音楽夜話。
岡田さんは、ハーモニカ奏者Leo Diamond、詳細不明のThe Lennie Conn Sextetを、ミハルさんはイタリアのシンガーNatalino OttoとAlberto Rabagliatiを、細野さんは、春日八郎を・・・スゴい振り幅ですが、なにか。
＊写真は細野さん撮影です。

有读者在后台问到了新概念3里面的一个句子：He sent the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply. 为什么不用replies?
这是一个很细节的问题，不过相信很多人平时也有疑惑：no后面的名词应该用单数还是复数？对于上面的新概念句子来说，received no reply/replies在语法上都是可以的，在地道英文语料中都可以找到例证，比如这两个BBC句子：
(1) Prosecutors and the FBI have contacted his lawyers but have received no reply, said US attorney Geoffrey Berman.
(2) Although he received no replies, a journalist with the Guardian newspaper saw the advert and contacted him.
不过received no reply/replies两者存在一些细微的差别，为了更好地解释这一区别，我们需要从no的用法说起。
当no作为限定词时，它后面可以接可数名词或不可数名词。通常情况下，当no后面接可数名词时，该名词使用复数，特别是当涉及到"there are…", "XX has…"这样的句型时，比如：
(1) It was early December and there were no leaves on the trees.
(2) The room has no windows.
(3) No road accidents were reported in Chelsea throughout August.
但是在一些情况下，no后面的可数名词也可以使用单数，而是否使用单数的关键在于说话者认为这个名词属于单数还是复数，比如这个经典例子：
I have no wife.
这里wife虽然是可数名词，但是句子一般不能写成：I have no wives. 因为通常情况下一个人只有一个妻子。又比如：
He must lead a lonely life in that village: he has no wife and no children.
这里用no children比用no child要更加自然，因为在英美国家语境中，一个家庭一般有一个以上的孩子。
又比如下面这个NYT的例子：
After receiving green cards to move to the United States, they moved in with a friend in Stamford, Conn., in April. But because neither of the Biahliaks speaks English, and the couple has no car, they found that their opportunities were limited.
这篇文章的背景是一对贫穷的白俄罗斯夫妇移民到美国以寻求更好的医疗条件，但因为政策原因不得不和子女分离。这里the couple has no car用得很恰当，它不能写成the couple has no cars，因为对于他们来说，一辆车都负担不起了，更不用说多辆车了，因此这里只能用单数。
除了上面提到的情况之外，当no放在句首用于强调时，no后面的可数名词也要使用单数，此时句子的意思类似于“（符合这条件的）一个也没有”，比如：
No politician tells the truth all the time. 没有哪个政客是一直说真话的。
No writer has won the Nobel prize more than once.没有一个作家得过一次以上的诺贝尔奖。
No sensible person would dispute this. 没有一个通情达理的人会对此提异议。
此外，还有一些可数名词单数与no形成了固定搭配，这种情况下也不能随意改变名词的数，比如：
(1) I have no idea how you solve this problem. It's quite beyond me.
(2) I have no reason to think he won't return. He needs me as much as I need him.
(3) There's no need to cry. We can sort this out together.
(4) There's no way of knowing if the treatment will work.
这样固定搭配平时遇到了可以多积累起来。
回到最上面的问题，He sent the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply. 这里虽然改用received no replies语法上也没错，但是使用名词单数会更好，因为句子中“他”给记者发去了多份传真，但迟迟收不到记者的回复，这里用received no reply更能强调回复的数量之少，它隐含的意思是：“他”连一份回复都没收到，更不用说多份了。
