Common Problems with Office Equipment
辦公設備常見問題
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.)
辦公室設備常見問題辦公室一般都有兩種主要的設備：電腦和復印機。電腦可能是最有用的。它們可以使工作變得更簡單。沒有電腦，事情會變得很困難。（而我也會失業(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) 對于電腦來說，最常見和最大的問題是電腦死機問題。電腦死機時，你經常會丟失正在做的文件。這可真是個大問題。（這也意味著如果你的電腦死機了，你就無法讀到我們的英語雜志了。）
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) 電腦的另一個常見問題是你所使用的程序有問題，這也是一個常見問題。當程序有問題時，電腦會在沒有任何原因的情況下突然停止工作。發(fā)生這種情況時，你通常也會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) 復印機相對簡單一些。除了缺紙外一般不會有什么別的問題。但有時復印機也會出問題。這時你就得請維修人員來修理。

Ⅲ.課文篇
Bad Things That Can Happen at a Company
對于一個公司來說可能發(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) 對于一個公司來說，能夠發(fā)生的最糟糕的事是破產。公司破產的時候就是公司的錢已經空了，不得不關門大吉的時候。
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、但是很常見的事是公司陷入債務的泥潭中無法拔出來。在你借錢后就要面臨歸還貸款的那一天。然而當你沒有足夠的錢還款的時候，你就得從B某人那里借錢用來還欠的A某人的錢。這種環(huán)環(huán)相扣的借錢還錢的狀況會使你的財政狀況變得更糟。
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) 儲存大量的產品貨物也是一件糟糕的事情。大多數的商務工作都是基于一種供求體系。如果市場上的某一種貨物稀少，你就可以出高一些的價錢來出售。如果市場上某種貨物的供應很多，那么你就需要以相對低的價格把貨物賣出去，這樣一來你得到的錢就少了一些。
Ⅳ.對話篇
Gordon: Howdy, how’s business?
戈登：你好，你的生意進展得如何？
Molly: As well as can be expected since we are deep in debt.
莫莉：就象可以預見到的，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：很抱歉聽到這個消息�？墒俏矣浀媚阏f過你的庫房里有很多積壓的產品。
Molly: Our surplus is hurting sales. Everyone already has one. No one is buying our products now.
莫莉：我們的積壓產品對銷售有百害而無一利。每個人都已經有了我們的產品，現在沒人再買我們的產品了。
Gordon: That sounds bad, real bad. Aren’t you afraid of going bankrupt?
戈登：那聽上去太糟糕了，真的太糟糕了。難道你不害怕破產嗎？
Molly: You hit the nail on the head. We are worried.
莫莉：你說到了我的痛處。我們現在很擔心這一點。
Gordon: I am sorry to hear that.Let me know if you need a new job.
戈登：我很抱歉聽到這個消息。如果你需要找到一份新工作的話，請告訴我。
Molly: I have no plans of being unemployed. However, it may happen if we go broke.
莫莉：我現在對于失業(yè)還沒有計劃。然而，如果我們破產的話，這可能會發(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：我猜你說得沒錯。謝謝你的建議。
Gordon: Anytime.
