禮節(jié)美語(yǔ):220 Internet Security 2
公司電腦系統(tǒng)遭到駭客入侵，Dylan跟同事Cory和Brenda一起討論，Dylan說：
D: We may never be able to trace the origin of this attack. But what we can do is work harder to make our systems impenetrable.
B: Yes, a lot of people are quite lazy with computer security.
D: That's true. For example, many people almost never change their passwords.
B: Or they use ridiculously easy-to-guess passwords.
C: Um....I guess I'm guilty of that. I don't think I've ever changed my password.
Dylan 說，他們可能永遠(yuǎn)都查不到這次駭客襲擊是誰干的，但他們可以吃一塹長(zhǎng)一智，加倍努力 to make our systems impenetrable. 讓我們電腦系統(tǒng)的安全滴水不漏，impenetrable is spelled i-m-p-e-n-e-t-r-a-b-l-e, impenetrable 是無法進(jìn)入的意思。Brenda說，很多人太大意，不重視電腦安全，從來不換密碼，或是用的密碼太簡(jiǎn)單。Cory說，I'm guilty of that. 我就是這種人，從不換密碼。Dylan 說，
D: And let me guess.....your password is, "1234."
C: Well, it's not quite that simple....
B: Let me take a guess.... It's your wife's birthday.
C: That's incredible! How did you guess that? Have you been spying on me?
B: (Chuckle) Nope. It's just that you selected one of the most common passwords on the planet. Are you a member of any social networking websites?
C: Yes, a couple.
B: Then your wife's birthday is probably public knowledge.
D: That's right! In the Internet age, very few things are private anymore. If I do a little research on you, I'll bet I can find out where you were born, what school you went to, your wife's maiden name....even the name of your dog!
Dylan和Brenda一下子就猜到了Cory的密碼，原來他用的是太太的生日，one of the most common passwords on the planet 最常見的密碼之一。由于Cory業(yè)余時(shí)間用社交網(wǎng)站，所以實(shí)際上，他太太的生日簡(jiǎn)直就是public knowledge 公開的信息。Dylan還說，在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和社交網(wǎng)站如此發(fā)達(dá)的今天，沒有多少信息是真正保密的，稍微上網(wǎng)找一下，出生地，上過的學(xué)校，太太的名字等等都能找到。Cory說，
C: Wow, I hope I wasn't responsible for this recent attack. What's a good password then?
D: A good password uses a mixture of letters and numbers. For example, think of a simple sentence such as, "I like ice cream on Sundays." Take the first letter from each word in the sentence....and, because Sunday is the first day of the week, add the number 1 at the end.
C: So my password would be, "I-L-I-C-O-S-1?"
B: Yeah! That's a pretty difficult password to break....and it's easy to remember.
D: And....don't forget to change it every couple of months.
C: Good thinking. I'm going to go change my password right now!
Dylan 說，密碼最好是用字母和數(shù)字的組合。他舉例說，可以想一句話，I like ice cream on Sundays. 用這句話每個(gè)單詞的首寫字母，最后面再加個(gè)1，因?yàn)樾瞧谔焓且恢艿牡谝惶?。這樣的密碼又好記，又難破譯。Cory 高興地說，他現(xiàn)在就去改密碼。
