[00:24.07]硬件 [00:24.69]Phrases & Expressions [00:26.75]as a result [00:27.56]作為...結(jié)果 [00:28.37]chain stores [00:29.06]連鎖店 [00:29.75]Miss Bai:Well, this is the head office. We also have eight large chain stores scattered throughout eight different districts. [00:33.10]白：嗯，這里是總機室。我們還有8個大連鎖店分布在8個不同地區(qū)。 [00:36.44]Each with a duplicate of what you see here. [00:37.92]各分店都配備有你們在這兒看到的同樣機組。 [00:39.39]Miss Li:Each with a computer? [00:40.41]李：每一分機都有一臺計算機嗎? [00:41.43]Miss Bai:Oh, no. Just one computer, and it's in this building. [00:43.57]白：噢，不。計算機僅有一臺，在這幢樓內(nèi)。 [00:45.71]Miss Li:And the eight chain stores are all connected to the same computer? [00:47.92]李小姐：那么8個連鎖店都同這一臺計算機連結(jié)在一起的，是嗎? [00:50.13]Miss Bai:Yes. Whenever any stock is received or by despatched from one of those chain stores, [00:53.28]白：是的，任何時間接收到的某些連鎖店拍來的存貨量 [00:56.42]an operator sends the information online to the central processor. [00:58.57]由操作員將信息直接送給中心處理機。 [01:00.71]That gives a complete running inventory. By the way, we supply all types of tools to the retail trade. [01:04.24]這就給我們一個完整的運行清單。順便提一句，我們?yōu)榱闶蹣I(yè)務(wù)提供所有類型的工具。 [01:07.76]Mr. Wang:Mr. Song, I thought it would make a good demonstration if you were to put any sort of question you like about the inventory to the computer. [01:12.62]王：宋先生，你若給計算機輸入你所想提的任何有關(guān)庫存的問題，那么我想計算機就會給你一個有效的示范。 [01:17.48]Mr. Song:Oh, well... How many six-inch screwdrivers are there in stock? [01:19.91]宋：噢，好的...現(xiàn)庫存的6英寸改錐還有多少? [01:22.34]Just the total for the eight chain stores. [01:23.93]8個連鎖店的總數(shù). [01:25.52]Miss Bai:All right. Will you process that, please, Miss Ding? [01:27.75]白：好的，丁小姐.你來處理吧. [01:29.97]Miss Ding:Yes, Miss Bai. [01:29.47]?。菏?，白小姐. [01:31.00]Miss Li:How soon will we get the answer? [01:32.09]李：多快見到答復(fù)? [01:33.17]Mr. Wang:It's there already, on the other machine. [01:34.43]王：答案已經(jīng)有了，在另一臺計算機上。 [01:35.68]Miss Li:It couldn't... It is! It says:'6" screwdrivers 14 gross". [01:39.05]李：不可能吧...真的啊!它說：“6英寸改錐有14羅。” [01:42.42]Mr.Wang:That's known as real time processing. [01:43.96]王：這就是實時處理。 [01:45.50]Mr. Song:So real time is a method of processing data so fast there's virtually no time-lag between enquiry and result. [01:49.67]宋：那么實時是一種快速處理數(shù)據(jù)的方法。實際上，訊問與結(jié)果之間不存在時間延遲。 [01:53.83]Mr. Wang:Correct. For example, in the case of a man driving a car at, say, [01:56.54]王：對。舉個例子，比如某人駕駛一輛小轎車 [01:59.24]thirty miles per hour he can normally solve all his driving problems in real time; [02:02.18]以每小時30英里速度行駛，那么他通常能夠?qū)崟r地解決駕駛過程中的所有問題。 [02:05.12]whereas at a hundred miles per hour he may not be able to. [02:07.29]而當車速為每小時100英里時，他就不能處理所有問題了。 [02:09.46]Miss Li:I suppose, Mr. Wang, there must be many scientific uses for computers? [02:11.91]李：王先生，看來計算機必定有多種科學用途吧! [02:14.37]Mr. Song:Weather forecasting, for example? [02:15.59]宋：比如，天氣預(yù)報，是嗎? [02:16.82]Mr. Wang:About a hundred years ago somebody had a theory for forecasting weather based on reports from all over the world. [02:20.78]王：大約一百年多前，有人提出一種根據(jù)全球報告作出天氣預(yù)報的理論。 [02:24.74]Unfortunately, it would have required sixty-four thousand skilled clerks working full-time. [02:28.49]不幸的是這需要64 000個技術(shù)熟練的工作人員的全天工作才行。 [02:32.23]Mr. Song:I know about that. They use a similar system today, [02:34.36]宋：這我聽說過，今天他們使用一種相似的方法， [02:36.49]and one relatively small computer does the same work in only half an hour. [02:39.14]一臺較小的計算機僅在半小時之內(nèi)便可完成同樣的工作。 [02:41.80]Miss Li:Is speed the only advantage? [02:42.97]李：是否速度是唯一的優(yōu)點呢? [02:44.15]Mr. Wang:It's one of them. Accuracy is another - provided the computer is given accurate information to start with. [02:48.03]王：這僅是優(yōu)點之一。另一個優(yōu)點是準確性，但前提條件是提供給計算機的信息精確無誤。 [02:51.90]Miss Li:Can you give us another example? [02:52.98]李：您能再給我們舉個例子嗎? [02:54.05]Mr. Wang:Well, in medicine computers help researchers to test drugs by projecting information gained in limited trials. [02:58.36]王：好的，在醫(yī)藥方面，計算機幫助科研人員進行藥品試驗，可在有限的試驗中得到預(yù)計的信息。 [03:02.67]As a result, large-scale tests are not only becoming safer but also yielding far more useful information. [03:07.07]因此，大量模的試驗不但變得更有把握，而且還能獲得更為有用的信息。 [03:11.47]Mr. Song:Computers can also make mistakes, of course. [03:13.35]宋：當然，計算機也會出差錯。 [03:15.23]Mr. Wang:Provided there is no hardware fault, the computer does not make a mistake. [03:17.88]王：假如硬件沒有故障，那么計算機不會出差錯， [03:20.53]But its results are only as good as the information with which it is programmed. [03:23.54]但是其結(jié)果不可能超過編程所運用的信息的完好程度。 [03:26.54]Let's go back to the office and we can talk about other scientific uses of computers. [03:29.25]讓我們回到辦公室，再談?wù)動嘘P(guān)計算機在科學上其他方面的使用吧。 [03:31.95]Come this way. [03:32.71]往這邊走。
