Unit 1 Unit 1 Computer and Information (I) 计算机与信息 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.
两位同事,丽贝卡和汤姆在谈论电脑作曲。有时候我觉得我的电脑好像是活的。我对我的钢琴也有同感。但是你知道电脑……他们只是机器。他们不只是机器。你是什么意思?写电脑程式就像在作曲。我使用计算机语言就像你用笔记来记录新的一件事。顺便说一下,你可以在电脑上作曲吗?当然。当我上大学的时候我用电脑来作曲。你用来作曲吗?是的。电脑让我们尝试不同的风格和点子。我同意。但是你不再作曲吗?没有。我现在工作太忙了。你看,有太多的压力来自工作。我一直想成为一名作曲家。我的意思是,因为我上大学的时候，它是我的梦想之一。你的梦想吗?我相信你会做得很好。我怕我太忙了因为我去年生了个孩子。我得去工作了,然后，你看家里大量的家务等着我。如果这是你的梦想,你就有时间一天。我真的希望你能实现你的梦想。 ——译文来自: nono要学好英语
