Unit 1 Unit 1 Computer and Information (I) 計算機與信息 Dialogues Hints: Rebecca Tom
Two colleagues, Rebecca and Tom, are talking about composing music on the computer. Sometimes I feel my computer is alive. I feel the same about my piano. But you know computers ... They are just machines. They are more than just machines. What do you mean? Composing a computer program is like composing music. I use computer language just like you use notes to create one new thing after another. By the way, can you compose music on the computer? Of course. I used to do it when I was in college. You used to compose? Yes. Computers let us try out different styles and ideas. I agree. But you no longer compose? No. I am too busy working now. You see, there is too much pressure from work. I've always wanted to be a composer. I say, since I was in college. It's one of my dreams. Your dream? I'm sure you would be good at it. I'm afraid I'm too busy since I had a baby last year. I have to work, then you see at home a lot of chores are waiting for me. If it is your dream, you'll make time one day. I really hope you will fulfill your dream.
兩位同事,麗貝卡和湯姆在談?wù)撾娔X作曲。有時候我覺得我的電腦好像是活的。我對我的鋼琴也有同感。但是你知道電腦……他們只是機器。他們不只是機器。你是什么意思?寫電腦程式就像在作曲。我使用計算機語言就像你用筆記來記錄新的一件事。順便說一下,你可以在電腦上作曲嗎?當然。當我上大學的時候我用電腦來作曲。你用來作曲嗎?是的。電腦讓我們嘗試不同的風格和點子。我同意。但是你不再作曲嗎?沒有。我現(xiàn)在工作太忙了。你看,有太多的壓力來自工作。我一直想成為一名作曲家。我的意思是,因為我上大學的時候,它是我的夢想之一。你的夢想嗎?我相信你會做得很好。我怕我太忙了因為我去年生了個孩子。我得去工作了,然后,你看家里大量的家務(wù)等著我。如果這是你的夢想,你就有時間一天。我真的希望你能實現(xiàn)你的夢想。 ——譯文來自: nono要學好英語
