Let's start to study how to use computers ,Paubler.It's good to know that a computer has two major parts,the hardware and the software.

The hardware of computer is basically all the concrete things you can touch with your hands and see with your eyes.

基本上，電腦的硬件是所有你能用手摸到、用眼看到的實物。

The software of computer is all the programmes inside the computer that allow you to use the computer to do things.

電腦的軟件是所有裝在電腦里面的程序，這些程序讓你可以使用電腦來做事。

Right you are,Paubler,and since what you want to learn is how to use software ,we should also learn to refer to the computer menus.

Dialogue three

Well,known,Jim ,I'm...I'm pretty much in favour of your computers,I think computers teach kids to think ,because they require logical thoughts.

額，吉姆…我非常喜歡你的電腦，我想電腦教會孩子們去如何去思考，因為他們需要邏輯思想。

But I...I don't agree with that ,because computers weaken kids' ability to think,because kids don't learn basic skills.

但是我…我不同意這種說法，因為電腦削弱了孩子 們的思考能力，因為孩子們沒有學到基本的技能。

What do you mean?

你是什么意思?

They can't spell ,they can't add,they can't subtract,they even don't remember any more.that's because they rely on gadgets.

他們不會拼寫，他們不會做加法，他們不會做減法，他們甚至不再記憶。這是因為他們依賴小器具。

That's not the gadgets.Creating programmes is stimulate thoughts. It engages their imagination and sharpen their mind.

那不是小器具。制作程序可以刺激思考。它激發(fā)他們的想象力，提高他們的思維。

The computer is an important factor in our lives,each year ,we use computers more and more to help us to connect data and to provide their information ,at one time,people thought computers were only used for banks ,dapartment stores and governments,but today ,the rapidly increasing number of computers are used for many other purposes.The clothes you wear were probably manufactured with the help of a computer.The newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a computer.Even TV programs and commercials are often prepared by computers,there is no reason to think that their uses will decrease.Computer will become a greater part of our lives.

計算機是我們生活中一個重要的因素。每年，我們使用越來越多的計算機來幫我們連接數(shù)據(jù)、提供信息。從前，人們認為計算機知識用在銀行、百貨商店和政府機構中。但是今天，越來越多的計算機被用于許多其它的用途。你穿的衣服可能是借助計算機制造的。你看的報紙可能是用電腦編輯、打印的。甚至是電視節(jié)目和商業(yè)廣告經(jīng)常都是借助計算機制作的。毫無疑問，它們的使用會增加。計算機會成為我們生活中更重要的一部分。
