Dear Tom,You have asked me for my advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university,and I will try to make some useful suggestions.

亲爱的汤姆，你问我关于该学历史还是计算机的看法，我将尽力给你一些有用的建议。

You must keep in mind that, above all, your university training is a preparation for your future career.

首先，你必须牢记的是，你再大学所受的训练时为将来的职业做准备的。

There is no doubt that the field of computer science offers far wider job opportunities than history.

毫无疑问，计算机科学将比历史提供更广泛的工作机会。

Besides, for the foreseeable future, not only will it be necessary for everyone to be computer-literate,it will also be necessary to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living.

此外，可以预见的是，在不久将来来，每个人都有必要进行计算机扫盲，而且还需要具备计算机技能，这仅仅是是为了谋生。

Of course, I would recommend that you keep up your reading of history in your spare time.

当然，我建议你在业余时间继续读历史。

Love, Li Ming

爱你的，李明
