模仿文本：Now I'll admit I was a little skeptical about this whole big data idea. Mankind has always been very keen on collecting data. What's a library if not a big data repository? So isn't big data just more of the same? The Business Daily editor decided I needed some re-education and sent me to a big data conference in a city famous for its ancient libraries - Oxford. 

 

译文： 现在我得承认我对“大数据”这一概念有些疑问。人类一直都热衷于搜集数据。若没有海量数据存储库，图书馆还能作何用？所以，大数据是不是更加如此？每日财经编辑认为我需要进一步学习，并将我送往一个大数据会议，所在地是牛津，一个因各种历史悠久的图书馆而颇负盛名的城市。
