A: They are state-of-the-art computers. Would you like to see how it works?
A：這些是最尖端的電腦。您想看看它是如何操作的嗎?
B: Yes, please.
B：好的，麻煩你了。
A: OK. Let me just have it all set up in a minute. They are great for business application. Look at how fast it runs. It's also IBM compatible. And it's priced much less than buying theoriginal.
A：好，讓我馬上把它安裝好。它們在商業(yè)上用途很廣。它運轉(zhuǎn)很快，也可以與IBM兼容，而且比原來的極其便宜多了。
B: I'm planning to set up a desktop publishing system and I need a computer with a hard disk and runs on a 32-bit.
B：我正在計劃安裝一個桌面出版系統(tǒng)。需要一臺有硬盤并有32位的電腦。
A: Oh, in that case, this model will do just fine. Do you have the software for it already?
A：噢，那樣的話，這要正好可以。你已經(jīng)有了它的軟件嗎?
B: Yes, I have a Ventura. Isn't it for IBM computers?
B：是的，我有Ventura。它不是用在IBM電腦里的嗎?
A: Yes, they are. You might also want to get the other paraphernalia that toes with it, like thelaser printer.
A：是的，你也必須有與它相配合的其他設(shè)備，譬如，激光打印機。
B: How is the resolution of your laser printer?
B：你們的激光打印機清晰度怎樣?
A: It's 300 DPI. That's about the best you can get with this model. There are others with higherresolution, but they'll cost more. Are you doing this for business or as hobby?
A：300點每英寸。那是您所能得到的最好的了。但也有其他具有較高清晰度的激光打印機。不過比較貴。您這樣做是為了做生意還是為了興趣?
B: Well, I'm starting it out as a hobby to tell you the truth. But later on I plan to expand it into a business.
B：坦白告訴你，我開始做只是當(dāng)成一種愛好。但后來計劃把它擴展成一種事業(yè)。
A: Well, this will definitely do. You can expand the features later on as you become familiar with the system and when you start doing your business.
A：嗯，這的確很合適，當(dāng)您熟悉這個系統(tǒng)而且開始做生意以后，還可以接著擴充它的特性。
B: If I buy the computer now and buy a matrix printer, can I trade it for a laser printer later on and pay you the difference plus the cost of the depreciation?
B：如果我現(xiàn)在買電腦和點陣打印機，以后可不可以用它來換一臺激光打印機?我會付足差額，再加上折舊的價錢。
A: Well, we don't do it here, but we can tell you where you can do that.
A：噢，我們這里不能這樣做。但我可以告訴您在那里有這樣的業(yè)務(wù)。
