[00:18.77]同時地，一齊地 [00:19.83]Phrases & Expressions [00:21.81]electronic brain [00:22.74]電腦 [00:23.67]engineering tool [00:24.48]工程工具 [00:25.29]object to [00:26.19]反對 [00:27.09]out of fashion [00:27.87]不合時尚 [00:28.66]refer to [00:29.44]指的，把...歸類(于) [00:30.22]Mr. Wang:I'm afraid, Miss Li, you're not quite accurate when you call a computer an 'electronic brain'. [00:33.35]王：李小姐，你把計算機叫做電腦恐怕不太確切。 [00:36.47]Miss Li:Oh! But most people do. [00:37.92]李：噢!不過大多數(shù)人都是這樣說的。 [00:39.37]Mr. Wang:Yes, it was given that title by some misguided journalist not long after the first modern electronic computer was built in 1946. [00:44.43]王：是，這種稱呼是在1946年制造出第一臺現(xiàn)代化計算機之后不久，有一位新聞記者錯誤地給計算機戴上的。 [00:49.50]Mr. Song:It is electronic, Mr. Wang, so therefore you must be objecting to the word brain. [00:52.90]宋：這是電子的，王先生，因此你一定會反對用腦子這個詞來稱呼它。 [00:56.29]Mr. Wang:Exactly, Mr. Song. There are similarities with the human brain, [00:58.96]王：確實如此。宋先生。計算機同人腦有相似性。 [01:01.62]but there is one very important difference. [01:03.18]但二者之間有一個非常重要的差別。 [01:04.73]Miss Li:The computer is better? [01:05.82]李：把它稱作計算機不是更好嗎? [01:06.90]Mr. Wang:In some ways, yes, but not in something which is quite fundamental. [01:09.45]王：在某些方面可以這樣說，但在某些根本性的問題上就不行了。 [01:11.99]Mr. Song:Mr. Wang, do you mean the fact that the machine is controlled by man? [01:15.10]宋：王先生，你是否指的是計算機是由人控制的這樣一個事實? [01:18.21]Mr. Wang:I do. You see, despite all its accomplishments, the socalled electronic brain must be programmed by a human brain. [01:22.73]王：是的。你知道，任憑它能完成所有計算，但所謂的電腦還是必須由人腦來給它編制程序的。 [01:27.25]Miss Li:Programmed? [01:27.75]李：編制程序? [01:28.24]Mr. Song:Yes, Miss Li. A program is a sequence of instructions prepared for the computer for a specific calculation, [01:32.19]宋先生：是的，李小姐。程序是計算機做特定的。 [01:36.13]or series of calculations, enabling the computer to solve a given program. [01:39.25]或一系列的計算機所準備的一連串的指令，這樣才能使計算機去解決給定的問題.。 [01:42.37]Mr. Wang:The point is that a human tells the machine what to do, [01:44.57]王：其要點是由人告訴機器做什么， [01:46.76]when to do it and how it is done. [01:48.13]什么時間做，怎樣做完。 [01:49.51]Miss Li:I see! Do you also program information for the computer's memory? [01:52.56]李小姐：我明白了!那你還要給計算機的存儲器編入信息吧! [01:55.62]Mr. Wang:Correct, except the word memory has rather gone out of fashion. [01:58.19]王：對的，不過“記憶”這個詞早已過時了。 [02:00.76]The computer doesn't really remember. Information is stored in it. [02:03.23]計算機并不真正記憶。信息是貯存在機內的。 [02:05.70]We refer to core storage, or the store of data. [02:05.20]是指核心存儲，或是叫數(shù)據存儲。 [02:09.12]Miss Bai:Mr. Wang, the machine's free now for a real time demonstration. [02:11.57]白：王先生，現(xiàn)在計算機正空在那里呢!可以做實時演示。 [02:14.03]Mr. Wang:Thank you, Miss Bai. If you'd like to follow me... [02:15.50]王：謝謝你，白小姐。請跟我們來... [02:16.98]These are called interrogating typewriters. [02:19.00]這些稱為交互查詢打印機。 [02:21.03]Mr. Song:And that's the input-output system? [02:22.28]宋;那是輸入輸出系統(tǒng)嗎? [02:23.54]Miss Bai:That's right. It's the method best suited to the particular needs of this organization. [02:26.08]白：是的，這是適用于組織計算特種需要的最佳方式。 [02:28.63]Mr. Wang:The operator - this young lady - types the information or questions, or both. [02:31.37]王：我們年輕的操作員小姐鍵入問題或提問題，或是兩者都進行。 [02:34.12]Miss Ding:Yes. This produces two very different copies. [02:36.39]?。簩?。這里輸出的是兩種完全不同的拷貝。 [02:38.66]Mr.Song:One's an ordinary typewritten copy. [02:40.37]宋;一份是一般打印出來的文本。 [02:42.08]Mr. Wang:That's right. Then her typing also sends pulses down a line, [02:44.80]王：對的。然后操作員再把這脈沖輸入給線路， [02:47.52]an ordinary telephone line. [02:48.51]一種普通電話線路。 [02:49.50]And this simultaneously cuts the information or question on to a paper tape which is fed into the computer. [02:53.58]隨即計算機同時把信息或問題打印在送入計算機的紙帶上。 [02:57.65]I think Miss Bai here can tell you the rest. [02:59.70]我想白小姐可以告訴你們此后的其他情況。
