2021年中級(jí)商務(wù)英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)考試主題練習(xí)（24）

Ⅰ.核心學(xué)習(xí)：Pirate Software 盜版軟件

Michael: Hey Billy. You look really frustrated this morning.

邁克爾：嘿，比利，今天上午你看起來(lái)很沮喪。

Billy: I think my computer must have a virus.

比利：我覺(jué)得我的電腦肯定有病毒。

Michael: Why do you say that?

邁克爾：你為什么這么說(shuō)?

Billy: Well, I have just tried to install some new software, but now my computer won't work properly.

比利：唔，我剛才想裝一些新軟件，但是現(xiàn)在我的電腦不能正常工作了。

Michael: Why didn't you ask the propeller-heads to put the new program on the PC for you?

邁克爾：你為什么不讓技術(shù)人員幫你往電腦里裝新程序?

Billy: Because it's not really related to work. They will get mad at me.

比利：因?yàn)樗c工作沒(méi)有什么聯(lián)系。他們會(huì)對(duì)我發(fā)脾氣的。

Michael: So where did you get the software?

邁克爾：那你從哪兒得到這些軟件?

Billy: It was really cheap. I bought it from some guy on the street.

比利：它很便宜。我從街上的一些人那里買(mǎi)的。

Michael: It is probably pirated software.

邁克爾：它可能是盜版軟件。

Billy: Can you teach me all about pirated software so that my computer will work correctly again?

比利：你能教我所有有關(guān)盜版軟件的知識(shí)嗎，好讓我的電腦再次正常工作。

Michael: Listen carefully.

邁克爾：仔細(xì)聽(tīng)好了。

Ⅱ.單詞簡(jiǎn)析

1) Frustrated: discouraged, angry because you can't do something

使人沮喪的，灰心的：因?yàn)槟悴荒茏瞿呈露鴼怵H、生氣

ex:I always wanted to be like Michael Jordan, but I am very short so I was frustrated.

我老想像邁克爾·喬丹那樣，不過(guò)我很矮，因此我很沮喪。

2) Virus: software designed to cause a problem with your computer

病毒：為了使電腦出毛病而設(shè)計(jì)的軟件

ex:Although there are many types of computer virus these days, if you use good anti-virus software, you will be well protected.

盡管目前計(jì)算機(jī)病毒多種多樣，不過(guò)如果你使用好的防毒軟件，你就會(huì)得到很好的保護(hù)。

3) Propeller-heads: technical staff who usually work in Information Technology

技術(shù)人員：通常在IT部門(mén)工作的技術(shù)人員

ex:Propeller-heads used to be dorks and nerds, but today they are seen as being really cool (by some people!).

以前技術(shù)人員是書(shū)呆子，不過(guò)現(xiàn)在他們看起來(lái)很酷(在某些人看來(lái)!)。

4) Pirated software: software that has been copied from the original

盜版軟件：從原版拷貝來(lái)的軟件

ex:If you use or buy pirated software, you are breaking the law - there is no good excuse for using pirated software.

如果你使用或購(gòu)買(mǎi)盜版軟件，你就違反了法律-沒(méi)有好理由去使用盜版軟件。

Ⅲ.課文篇

Forty years ago, no one could have imagined the impact that computers would have on the world. Indeed Thomas J Watson, Chairman of the Board of IBM said in the 1950s that he thought "there was a world market for about only five computers." With more than 700 million computers on earth today, Mr Watson was clearly wrong.

四十年前，沒(méi)有人能想象計(jì)算機(jī)會(huì)給世界帶來(lái)(如此大)的沖擊。確實(shí)是這樣，IBM (美國(guó)國(guó)際商用機(jī)器公司)的總裁，托馬斯·J·華特森在五十年代說(shuō)過(guò)他認(rèn)為“計(jì)算機(jī)的世界市場(chǎng)大約只有五臺(tái)”。今天地球上擁有7億臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)，很顯然，華特森先生錯(cuò)了。

As most people know, you need hardware and software to make a computer work. Hardware includes the computer screen, the mouse, keyboard and of course the central processing unit that does all of the hard work for you.

正如大多數(shù)人所了解的，要想讓一臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)工作，你需要有硬件和軟件。硬件包括計(jì)算機(jī)屏幕、鼠標(biāo)、鍵盤(pán)，當(dāng)然還有為你做所有艱苦工作的CUP(中央處理器)。

Software includes the computer's operating system, games and office productivity software (like PowerPoint or Word). Software is a form of intellectual property and is entitled to just as much protection as real property like your car or your home.

軟件包括計(jì)算機(jī)的操作系統(tǒng)、游戲以及辦公軟件(如PowerPoint 或者 Word )。軟件是知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的一種形式，而且應(yīng)該受到和你的不動(dòng)產(chǎn)，如汽車(chē)或者房子等一樣的保護(hù)。

Nobody would say that to steal hardware was OK, but millions of people around the world think that it is perfectly acceptable to steal software by copying it. Copying software and giving it away or selling it is stealing and therefore wrong.

沒(méi)有人會(huì)說(shuō)偷硬件是可行的，不過(guò)世界上數(shù)百萬(wàn)人認(rèn)為以拷貝的方式來(lái)偷軟件是完全可以接受的?？截愜浖徒o別人或者銷(xiāo)售出去都是偷竊行為，因此這是錯(cuò)誤的。

Software can be expensive - often more than you can afford - but that is no reason to think it is OK to steal it or buy a pirated copy. Mercedes Benz cars are also expensive, but I cannot just go out and help myself to one just because I want one.

軟件可能很昂貴-通常超出你的支付能力-但是沒(méi)有理由認(rèn)為偷竊或購(gòu)買(mǎi)盜版是可行的。奔馳車(chē)也很貴，可是不能僅僅因?yàn)橄胍惠v就可以出去自己解決。

Software is expensive to develop. If developers cannot make money by selling their software, how will they fund the development of new software to make our lives even easier?

開(kāi)發(fā)軟件很貴。如果開(kāi)發(fā)商不能通過(guò)銷(xiāo)售他們的軟件來(lái)掙錢(qián)，他們又怎么能投資開(kāi)發(fā)新軟件，以使我們的生活變得更輕松?

Ⅳ.對(duì)話篇

Jeff: What are you doing after work today, Joan?

杰夫：今天下班之后你要做什么，瓊?

Joan: I'm going shopping for 20 blank CDs.

瓊：我要去買(mǎi)20張空白CD。

Jeff: Why do you need so many blank CDs Joan?

杰夫：你為什么需要那么多空白CD，瓊?

Joan: My friend has some cool software that he will copy onto the blanks CDs for me.

瓊：我的朋友有一些很酷的軟件，他要拷貝到空白CD送給我。

Jeff: But that's stealing!

杰夫：可那是偷竊!

Joan: I don't think so. My friend already paid for the software. What's the harm in making a few copies?

瓊：我不這么認(rèn)為。我的朋友已經(jīng)掏錢(qián)買(mǎi)那些軟件了。拷貝一些新的有什么大礙?

Jeff: Well, you already paid for your car, so I think I might steal it this afternoon. Is that OK with you?

杰夫：唔，你已經(jīng)買(mǎi)了你的車(chē)，因此我想今天下午我可能要去偷它。這么做你同意嗎?

Joan: No way! That's my car!

瓊：沒(méi)門(mén)!那可是我的車(chē)!

Jeff: So don't steal software, Joan!

杰夫：那就別偷軟件，瓊!
