　　dialogue 1

　　C: my mp3 player is broken, so I want to change it for an mp4 player. Can you offer any advice about which brand and model to buy?

　　我的mp3壞了,想換個(gè)mp4.你能給點(diǎn)意見(jiàn)嗎,買(mǎi)什么牌子什么型號(hào)比較好.

　　J: an mp4 player? why don't you buy a new cell phone? You can find an mp4 player inside any of the latest cell phones.

　　mp4?為什么不買(mǎi)個(gè)新的手機(jī)呢?現(xiàn)在新出的手機(jī)里面都帶mp4.

　　C: Oh, that's a good idea. Perhaps I should have a try.

　　恩,是個(gè)好主意.也許我該試試.

　　J: look at my cell phone. I can lsiten to music, watch movies, take pictures, play games, surf the web and download decuments. It's just like a PDA.

　　看看我的手機(jī),可以聽(tīng)歌,看電影,拍照,玩游戲,上網(wǎng),下載文件,跟掌上電腦差不多.

　　C: that's cool. I can use the computer and the internet pretty well, but I'm a little bit slow in the latest trends of digital products.

　　真酷.電腦和網(wǎng)絡(luò)我都能玩得很好,對(duì)電子產(chǎn)品的最新潮流可就有點(diǎn)遲鈍了.

　　J: that's Ok. you know, digital devices are becoming smaller and easier to carry, and they won't cost you too much.

　　沒(méi)事,現(xiàn)在的電子產(chǎn)品越來(lái)越小,特別好攜帶,而且也不是很貴.

　　C: yeah, if I buy a cell phone like this, I don't have to take a music player everywhere I go, and I can save the cost of buying an extra mp4.

　　恩,如果我買(mǎi)一個(gè)像你這樣的手機(jī),就不用隨身帶著mp4了,還省下了買(mǎi)mp4的錢(qián).

　　J: that's right. what's the flash memory of your old mp3?

　　對(duì)啊.你原來(lái)的MP3內(nèi)存是多少?

　　G: 256MB.

　　256兆.

　　J: then any cell phone can meet your need because they generally have memories of over 512MB.

　　現(xiàn)在一般的手機(jī)內(nèi)存都在512兆以上,能夠滿(mǎn)足你的儲(chǔ)存要求.

　　dialogue 2

　　C: what's wrong with you? Why do you look so sad?

　　你怎么了,看起來(lái)很傷心的樣子?

　　J: I've lost all my files from the computer. It's a total disaster.

　　我電腦里所有的數(shù)據(jù)都丟了.這簡(jiǎn)直是個(gè)災(zāi)難.

　　C: How did that happen?

　　怎么回事啊?

　　J: three days ago, my laptop went on strike. I couldn't enter the Windows system. As I was about to give it up, one of my friends advised me to start Windows in the safe mode.

　　三天前,我的電腦突然罷工了,沒(méi)法進(jìn)入windows操作系統(tǒng).就在我快要放棄的時(shí)候,有個(gè)朋友建議我用安全模式啟動(dòng)電腦.

　　C: was it helpful?

　　有用嗎?

　　W: yeah, I could barely get it started using the safe mode, but when the computer was connected to the internet, its hard disk roared a harsh rasping sound. After a while, it crashed into a coma.

　　有用,我用安全模式勉強(qiáng)打開(kāi)了電腦,但一聯(lián)上互聯(lián)網(wǎng)硬盤(pán)就發(fā)出一種刺耳的聲音,過(guò)了一會(huì)兒,就徹底崩潰了.

　　C: what a pity!

　　真可惜啊!

　　W: yeah, I can buy a new computer, but the digital data can never be restored. My digital photos vanish forever. Audio recordings of Grandpa are slienced forever.

　　是啊,電腦可以買(mǎi)一個(gè)新的,可電腦里存儲(chǔ)的電子資料沒(méi)法恢復(fù)了.我的照片不見(jiàn)了,錄下來(lái)的爺爺?shù)穆曇粢猜?tīng)不到了.

　　C: that's such a big loss.

　　損失可真大啊.

　　J: perhaps I should be blamed for simply taking it for granted that the digital will always be in safe hands. I've neglected the potential risk of losing it.

　　也許應(yīng)該怪我,一直理所應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)卣J(rèn)為電子數(shù)據(jù)存在電腦里就很安全,忽視了潛在的危險(xiǎn).

　　C: don't blame yourself. We all make the same mistake. The digital information we all rely on is actually very fragile.

　　這不怪你.我們都會(huì)犯這樣的錯(cuò).我們信賴(lài)的電子信息實(shí)際上很脆弱啊.
