買電腦
ALEX: Can I help you?
SHERRY: Yes, I need to buy a computer for this semester.I was told it is cheaper to buy computers here.
ALEX: Well, you heard right.You can get an excellent deal on a new computer here.We have great discounts for students.
SHERRY: I don't know much about computers.But I know I want a desktop computer with a lot of memory. And I need a printer.
ALEX: Well, first let's consider your computer.Here, for example, is a system I highly recommend--the Power Macintosh G3.It comes with 64 megabytes of total memory.
SHERRY: Is that a lot? Sixty-four?
ALEX: Yes, it is. It should be enough for any student needs you might have.What department are you in?
SHERRY: History.
ALEX: Well, so you will mostly be using word processing, for writing papers.I recommend the Corel Word Perfect program for word processing.We can talk about software later. Let's talk about your hardware first.We have a special deal on right now.I should tell you about it, as it only goes until next Tuesday.
If you buy one of these fifteen-inch color monitors with a Power Macintosh G3,you can actually get 30 percent off the usual sale price.
SHERRY: Thirty percent?
ALEX: Yes.
SHERRY: Wow. That's really good.And you think this is really a good system for a graduate student?
ALEX: Yes. It's an excellent system. SHERRY: Hmm. Hey, wait. This has an Apple on it. Is this an Apple computer?
ALEX: Yes, it's a Macintosh. It's Apple. Macintosh and Apple are the same thing.
SHERRY: I don't want Macintosh. I want PC.
ALEX: I'm sorry, but our university computer center only sells Macintosh equipment.
SHERRY: What? Are you serious?
ALEX: Yes.
SHERRY: But nobody uses Macintosh!
ALEX: That's not true.Most of the students and professors in the university here use Macintosh.They find it is better for writing and word-processing,and that is what students mostly do. May I ask where you're from?
SHERRY: Yes, I'm from Taiwan.
ALEX: Well, I know that in most Asian countries Apple is not very popular.But here in America, especially in universities and publishing companies,Apple is very commonly used.
SHERRY: But I need a computer that can handle writing in Chinese.
ALEX: There are several Chinese writing programs you can use with Macintosh.Chinese is no problem for Apple. SHERRY: Hmm.
I think I should ask some of my friends for advice before I make a decision.I'm sorry.
ALEX: No, don't be sorry. It's reasonable to ask your friends.But believe me, most of the students here in the university--Asian students included--most of them use Apple.
SHERRY: Well, thanks for your advice. I will probably come back later.
ALEX: You're very welcome. Here is my card, if you need any help.
亞歷克斯:我可以幫你嗎?
雪莉:是的,這學(xué)期我需要買一臺(tái)電腦,人家告訴我這里的電腦比較便宜。
亞歷克斯:的確,你聽(tīng)到的是對(duì)的。在這買新電腦你可以拿到很不錯(cuò)的價(jià)格,我們給學(xué)生很大的折扣。
雪莉:我對(duì)電腦了解不多,但是我知道我要一臺(tái)有很大內(nèi)存的桌上電腦,而且我還要一臺(tái)打印機(jī)。
亞歷克斯:好的,我們先考慮你要的電腦。我極力推薦這兒的一套系統(tǒng)-麥金塔 G3。它的總內(nèi)存為六十四百萬(wàn)位元。
雪莉:那很多嗎?六十四?
亞歷克斯:是的,對(duì)任何學(xué)生的需求應(yīng)該是足夠了。你是什么系的?
雪莉:歷史系。
亞歷克斯:好的,所以你會(huì)常用文字處理來(lái)寫報(bào)告。我推薦 Corel Word Perfect 程式來(lái)做文字處理。我們待會(huì)再來(lái)談軟件,先談?dòng)布伞?/p>
我們現(xiàn)在有特價(jià), 我應(yīng)該告訴你,因?yàn)橹怀掷m(xù)到星期二為止。如果你購(gòu)買這套有麥金塔 G3 的 15 寸彩色主機(jī), 事實(shí)上就可以有平常售價(jià)的七折。 雪莉:七折?
亞歷克斯:是的。
雪莉:哇,太好了。你覺(jué)得對(duì)一個(gè)研究生而言,這是一個(gè)很好的系統(tǒng)嗎?
亞歷克斯:是的,它是很棒的系統(tǒng)。
雪莉:嗯。嘿,等等,這上面有個(gè)蘋果記號(hào),這是蘋果電腦嗎?
亞歷克斯:是的,是麥金塔,也是蘋果機(jī)。麥金塔和蘋果機(jī)是一樣的。
雪莉:我不想要麥金塔,我要個(gè)人電腦。
亞歷克斯:很抱歉,但是大學(xué)的電腦中心只賣麥金塔設(shè)備。
雪莉:什么?說(shuō)真的嗎?
亞歷克斯:是的。
雪莉:可是沒(méi)有人用麥金塔。
亞歷克斯:不會(huì)啊,這所大學(xué)大部分的學(xué)生和教授都用麥金塔。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這套系統(tǒng)對(duì)寫作和文字處理比較好,而且大多數(shù)學(xué)生都在使用它。我可以問(wèn)你從哪來(lái)的呢?
雪莉:我是臺(tái)灣來(lái)的。
亞歷克斯:我知道蘋果電腦在亞洲大多數(shù)的國(guó)家并不是很流行。但在美國(guó)這里,尤其是大學(xué)和出版社里,使用蘋果電腦是非常普遍的。
雪莉:但是我需要一臺(tái)可以處理中文寫作的電腦?!啔v克斯:有一些中文的寫作程式可以在麥金塔上使用,對(duì)蘋果電腦而言,中文不是問(wèn)題?! ?雪莉嗯……我想在做決定前請(qǐng)教我一些朋友的建議。很抱歉。
亞歷克斯:不會(huì),不需要抱歉。問(wèn)你朋友是合理的,但是相信我,這所大學(xué)大多數(shù)的學(xué)生─-包括亞洲的學(xué)生,大部分都使用蘋果電腦。
雪莉:好的,謝謝你的建議,我可能之后會(huì)再回來(lái)。
亞歷克斯:非常歡迎。這是我的名片,如果你需要任何幫忙的話
