Ⅲ.課文篇
Common Problems with Office Equipment
辦公設(shè)備常見(jiàn)問(wèn)題
Offices have two major pieces of equipment, computers and copy machines. Computers are probably the most useful; they can make work much easier. Without computers things would be much harder to do (and I wouldn’t have a job.)
辦公室設(shè)備常見(jiàn)問(wèn)題辦公室一般都有兩種主要的設(shè)備：電腦和復(fù)印機(jī)。電腦可能是最有用的。它們可以使工作變得更簡(jiǎn)單。沒(méi)有電腦，事情會(huì)變得很困難。（而我也會(huì)失業(yè)）
1) One of the biggest and most common problems with computers is when they crash. When this happens, you often lose whatever you are working on. This can be a big problem. (Also, if your computer crashes, that mean you can’t read our newsletter
1) 對(duì)于電腦來(lái)說(shuō)，最常見(jiàn)和最大的問(wèn)題是電腦死機(jī)問(wèn)題。電腦死機(jī)時(shí)，你經(jīng)常會(huì)丟失正在做的文件。這可真是個(gè)大問(wèn)題。（這也意味著如果你的電腦死機(jī)了，你就無(wú)法讀到我們的英語(yǔ)雜志了。）
2) Another problem is when the program you are using has a bug. This is also a very common problem. Many programs have bugs in them; one example is Windows. When a program has a bug, it stops working for no reason at all. You also usually lose all of your work when this happens.
2) 電腦的另一個(gè)常見(jiàn)問(wèn)題是你所使用的程序有問(wèn)題，這也是一個(gè)常見(jiàn)問(wèn)題。當(dāng)程序有問(wèn)題時(shí)，電腦會(huì)在沒(méi)有任何原因的情況下突然停止工作。發(fā)生這種情況時(shí)，你通常也會(huì)丟掉正在處理的東西。.)
3) Copiers are much simpler machines. They usually don’t have any problems besides running out of paper. But sometimes they go down and you have to call a repairman to fix them.
3) 復(fù)印機(jī)相對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單一些。除了缺紙外一般不會(huì)有什么別的問(wèn)題。但有時(shí)復(fù)印機(jī)也會(huì)出問(wèn)題。這時(shí)你就得請(qǐng)維修人員來(lái)修理。
Ⅳ.對(duì)話篇
Gordon: How is the job going?
戈登：工作進(jìn)展如何？
Molly: It’s not.
莫莉：不好。
Gordon: What do you mean? What happened?
戈登：什么意思？怎么啦？
Molly: Everything went wrong the other day. My computer had a bug and it crashed. I lost everything.
莫莉：那天所有的事都不順。我的電腦程序里出現(xiàn)了問(wèn)題，電腦死機(jī)了，我的東西全丟了。
Gordon: That’s horrible.
戈登：太糟糕了。
Molly: But, that’s not the end of it. I went to make some copies and the copy machine was down, too. So, I couldn’t make my presentation.
莫莉：但是，麻煩事還沒(méi)完呢，等我想去復(fù)印的時(shí)候，復(fù)印機(jī)也壞了。所以我沒(méi)法做我的報(bào)告了。
Gordon: Wow, it looks like your cloud doesn’t have a silver lining.
戈登：哇，看來(lái)，你可沒(méi)有塞翁的好運(yùn)氣。
Molly: It got even worse. The boss said he had to let me go since I did such a bad job.
莫莉：更糟糕的事情還在后面呢，老板說(shuō)要解雇我，就因?yàn)槲夜ぷ鞅憩F(xiàn)這么糟。
Gordon: I feel bad for you.
戈登：我真為你感到難過(guò)。
Molly: That’s ok. I will be back on my feet in a few days and have an even better job.

Gordon: That’s the way to keep yourself going.

邁克爾：很難過(guò)聽(tīng)到這個(gè)消息。
Billy: Not as sorry as we are.
比利：沒(méi)有我們那么難過(guò)。
Michael: Is there anything I can do for you?
邁克爾：我可以幫你什么忙嗎？

Michael: I will do my best. I will try.
邁克爾：我會(huì)盡力而為。我會(huì)努力幫你們的。
Ⅱ.單詞簡(jiǎn)析
1) A dime a dozen : common, easy to find
普通的，容易找到的
ex:Low-paying jobs are a dime a dozen.
要想找到一份低工資的工作是輕而易舉的事情。
2) Bankrupt : to lose all of your money, be broke
破產(chǎn)
ex:Ned’s company is in bad shape. They are almost bankrupt.
耐德的公司經(jīng)營(yíng)狀況很糟糕，他們幾乎要面臨破產(chǎn)的邊緣。
3) Debt : to owe money,
債務(wù)，欠債
ex:My company is already in debt for one million dollars. I will do my best to pay you back.
我的公司已經(jīng)欠了1百萬(wàn)美元，我會(huì)盡我最大的努力償還你的錢。

Ⅲ.課文篇
Bad Things That Can Happen at a Company
對(duì)于一個(gè)公司來(lái)說(shuō)可能發(fā)生的糟糕的事情。
1) The worst thing that can happen to a company is bankruptcy. That is when the company loses all of its money and has to close its doors.
1) 對(duì)于一個(gè)公司來(lái)說(shuō)，能夠發(fā)生的最糟糕的事是破產(chǎn)。公司破產(chǎn)的時(shí)候就是公司的錢已經(jīng)空了，不得不關(guān)門大吉的時(shí)候。
2) Another tragic, but common event is being deep in debt. After borrowing money, you must pay back the loan. However, if you don’t have the money, you will have to borrow money from person B to pay back person A. This situation sends you deeper in debt.
2) 另外一件悲慘的事情、但是很常見(jiàn)的事是公司陷入債務(wù)的泥潭中無(wú)法拔出來(lái)。在你借錢后就要面臨歸還貸款的那一天。然而當(dāng)你沒(méi)有足夠的錢還款的時(shí)候，你就得從B某人那里借錢用來(lái)還欠的A某人的錢。這種環(huán)環(huán)相扣的借錢還錢的狀況會(huì)使你的財(cái)政狀況變得更糟。
3) Having a huge surplus of goods can also be a bad thing. Most businesses work on a supply and demand system. If there is less of a product, you can sell it for a higher price. If there is too much of a product, you must sell it for less, thus losing money.
3) 儲(chǔ)存大量的產(chǎn)品貨物也是一件糟糕的事情。大多數(shù)的商務(wù)工作都是基于一種供求體系。如果市場(chǎng)上的某一種貨物稀少，你就可以出高一些的價(jià)錢來(lái)出售。如果市場(chǎng)上某種貨物的供應(yīng)很多，那么你就需要以相對(duì)低的價(jià)格把貨物賣出去，這樣一來(lái)你得到的錢就少了一些。
Ⅳ.對(duì)話篇
Gordon: Howdy, how’s business?
戈登：你好，你的生意進(jìn)展得如何？
Molly: As well as can be expected since we are deep in debt.
莫莉：就象可以預(yù)見(jiàn)到的，我們欠債了。
Gordon: I am sorry to hear that. But didn’t you say you had a surplus of your products?
戈登：很抱歉聽(tīng)到這個(gè)消息�？墒俏矣浀媚阏f(shuō)過(guò)你的庫(kù)房里有很多積壓的產(chǎn)品。
Molly: Our surplus is hurting sales. Everyone already has one. No one is buying our products now.
莫莉：我們的積壓產(chǎn)品對(duì)銷售有百害而無(wú)一利。每個(gè)人都已經(jīng)有了我們的產(chǎn)品，現(xiàn)在沒(méi)人再買我們的產(chǎn)品了。
Gordon: That sounds bad, real bad. Aren’t you afraid of going bankrupt?
戈登：那聽(tīng)上去太糟糕了，真的太糟糕了。難道你不害怕破產(chǎn)嗎？
Molly: You hit the nail on the head. We are worried.
莫莉：你說(shuō)到了我的痛處。我們現(xiàn)在很擔(dān)心這一點(diǎn)。
Gordon: I am sorry to hear that.Let me know if you need a new job.
戈登：我很抱歉聽(tīng)到這個(gè)消息。如果你需要找到一份新工作的話，請(qǐng)告訴我。
Molly: I have no plans of being unemployed. However, it may happen if we go broke.
莫莉：我現(xiàn)在對(duì)于失業(yè)還沒(méi)有計(jì)劃。然而，如果我們破產(chǎn)的話，這可能會(huì)發(fā)生的。
Gordon: Try to keep a positive attitude.
戈登：盡量保持一種積極的態(tài)度。
Molly: I guess you are right. Thanks for the advice.
莫莉：我猜你說(shuō)得沒(méi)錯(cuò)。謝謝你的建議。
Gordon: Anytime.
戈登：不客氣。
