The computer and Internet impact our daily life everywhere. 61)
Today, there’s scarcely an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail.
"If the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology," says Microsoft, "a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a thimble of gas. And you could buy a Boeing 762 for the cost of a pizza. "
Probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the Internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers. 62)
Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year.
All the time spent online has left many young infotech workers without much time for life—or love—offline. 63)
The U. S. free enterprise system, which reaches a frenzy in Silicon Valley, has recognized that the local love boat is taking on water and is rushing in to save the day.
Dating services are approaching overload. Seminars and love doctors are teaching these rich, busy young singles how to find and capture their heart’s desire in this romantic wasteland. And dot-com facilitators such as Matchmaker. com are struggling to bring the sexes together online.
One reality that losers in this love bazaar must face is that they weren’t picked because they were out of shape. But not to worry since the Cyber Age has the answer to this one, too. Computerized fitness programs with audio, visual, and cyber personal trainers are ready to turn your home and treadmill into your own personal health club. Turn on iFit. com’s "One-On-One Training" audio workouts and you can bend and stretch to your favorite music. 64)
Its "Adventure" series video workouts will automatically adjust the speed and incline of your iFit-compatible treadmill as you gaze into your TV screen and experience the " beautiful rock formations of Utah’s Red Rock" or " the tropical paradise of Hawaii. "
65)
Americans spend more on entertainment than on clothing or health care, and the convergence of computers and telecommunications is generating new ways to amuse ourselves undreamed of until now.
The Internet is a land of endless amusements, and among the wildest is the Sims-simulations. These are about creating, managing, and controlling the lives of tiny computerized people.
选项
答案
在你凝视电视屏,欣赏“犹他州红岩那美妙的结构”或“夏威夷的热带乐园”的同时,它所提供的“冒险”系列图像训练程序将自动调节好与iFit兼容的踏车的速度和倾斜度。
解析
1) 句式结构
此句结构比较复杂,主句是一个简单句:
…workouts will…adjust the speed and incline of…; 时间状语从句:as you gaze…and experience…or…
此句结构的复杂主要体现在定语修饰成分上,如:Its "Adventure" series video workouts, the speed and incline of your iFit-compatible treadmill, experience the "beautiful rock formations of Utah’s Red Rock" or "the tropical paradise of Hawaii." 等等。
2) 理解与表达
本句中几个重点词语的理解:"Adventure" series“冒险”系列;workouts n. 练习,训练;adjust v. 调整,使…适于;如:The eyes need several minutes to adjust to the dimness. 需要花几分钟的时间使眼睛适应昏暗。incline n. 倾斜度;iFit compatible iFit兼容软件,compatible a. 能共处的,可兼容的;treadmill n. 踏车,单调的工作;Utah’s Red Rock犹他州的红岩;the tropical paradise of Hawaii热带乐园夏威夷
此句的翻译重点是抓住全句的句式框架,翻译出原文的层次结构。
