Computer(計算機)

             Computer

       The computer is fast, and never makes a mistake, while people are too slow, and full of mistakes sometimes. That's what people often say when they talk about computers. For over a quarter of a century, engineers have been making better and better computers.

     Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals, banks and universities. A computer can report, decide and control in almost every field. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer "think" like a man.With the help of a person, a computer can draw pictures,write music, talk with people, play chess, recognize voices,translate languages and so on. Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel. Do you think people will be afraid when they find that the computer is too clever to listen to and serve them?

計算機

    計算機速度快，從不出錯誤。相比之下，人類不光速度緩慢，而且時常漏洞百出。每當提到計算機時，人們常常會這么說。二三十年來，工程師們生產出越來越先進的計算機。

    如今，電腦已經可以把很多日常工作做得十分出色。它被廣泛地應用到工廠、醫院、銀行和大學。  電腦幾乎在所有領域都可以做報告、做決定、做管理。許多計算機科學家現在正籌劃制造可以像人類一樣“思考”的電腦。在人的操縱下，計算機能夠繪畫、作曲、與人交談、下棋、聲音識別、做翻譯等工作。可能有朝一日，計算機真的能夠會思考、有感覺。到那時，當計算機聰明到不再聽從人類的指令，服務于人類的時候，你認為人們會不會心存恐懼呢?
