    Talking About Computers
    1--Do you know much about computers?
    2--Not a great deal.
    1--I've just been reading an article about them.
    They are used for all sorts of things now.
    2--For accounting systems and things you mean?
    1--Yes, but they're used for other things too. Do
    you remember when we went to buy our tickets for
    the flight to Greece?
    2--Yes.
    1--The man asked where we wanted to go, then he
    typed out the information on a form and waited
    for a reply. A few moments later he gave us our
    tickets.
    2--Of course. His machine must have been connected
    to a computer.
    1--That's right.
    ===================================
    注解：
    1）computer：計(jì)算機(jī)
    2）Not a great deal=not very much,
    全句是I don't know a great deal about computers.
    3）accounting systems：財(cái)會(huì)系統(tǒng)。
    4）must have been connected to a computer：must+
    完成體的不定式動(dòng)詞用以表示說話人對(duì)以往事情的猜測(cè)
    或推斷。
    ===================================
    譯文：
    1--你對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)很在行嗎？
    2--不算特別在行。
    1--我剛讀了一篇關(guān)于計(jì)算機(jī)的文章。計(jì)算機(jī)可用于
    各種事情了。
    2--你是說財(cái)會(huì)之類的事兒？
    1--是的，但也用來干別的事情。還記得我們?nèi)ベI飛往
    希臘的機(jī)票嗎？
    2--是呀。
    1--那個(gè)人問我們要去哪兒，然后他把情況大在一張表
    上，等待答復(fù)。過了一會(huì)兒，他就把機(jī)票給咱們了。
    2--是的。他的機(jī)器一定是和一臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)連著的。
    1--沒錯(cuò)兒。
