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(jīng)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。
