PETS-2語法講解(279),第2張

My computer won't boot up.
  對 話   Hank: Could you help me with my computer?
  Gene: Why, what's the matter?
  Hank: Well my computer won't boot up.
  Gene: Is it switched on at the wall?
  Hank: Well I'm not that stupid.
  Gene: OK, let me get at it and I'll see what I can do.
  Hank: Do you think it could be something serious?
  Gene: I hope not, but it could be, like a hard disk failure for example.
  漢尅:可以幫我弄弄這台計算機嗎?
  吉恩:哦,有什麽問題?   漢尅:計算機無法啓動。
  吉恩:牆上的開關開了沒有?
  漢尅:我還不至於那麽愚蠢。
  吉恩:好吧,待我試試,看能不能把它弄妥。
  漢尅:你看,計算機是不是出了大問題?
  吉恩:希望不是,但也未必沒有可能。比如說,可能是硬磐出現故障。
  你的計算機無法啓動,英文可以說:My computer won't boot up/boot/start up/start。計算機啓動時會發出‘嘰’一聲,所以boot其實是個擬聲字(onomatopoeia)。
  Boot (up)和start (up)用法相同;計算機作boot (up)或start (up)的主詞(subject)或受詞(object)都可以,例如:(1) My computer takes less than one minute to boot (up)(我的計算機一分鍾之內就可以啓動)。(2) I booted (up) my computer and started to work(我啓動計算機,開始工作)。
  有時,由於死機或其它原因,你要重新啓動計算機,英文叫reboot,例如:(1) The computer must be rebooted after you have changed your user ID/user name(你更改用戶名稱之後,必須重新啓動計算機)。(2) The computer will reboot, and you will see a new log-in prompt(計算機重新啓動之後,你會看到新的登入提示)。除了reboot,你還可說restart,例如:Restarting the (computer) system will mean that what you have not saved will be lost(重新開機,你未保存的一切就會消失)。
  計算機啓動之後,往往還要‘登入’某個網頁,這叫做log in或log on,例如:Somebody must have changed the password. I cannot log in/on to our home page(一定是有人更改了密碼,我無法登入我們網頁)。
  ‘注銷’是log off或log out,注銷後‘關機’叫shut down the computer,例如:After saving the file, I closed it, logged off/out, and shut down the computer(我存磐、關閉了档案,就注銷計算機系統,然後關機)。
