It's scanning for viruses.
對 話 Jack: Could I use your computer to send an e-mail please?
Mary: Not at the moment I'm afraid. Come back in half an hour.
Jack: Why's that, is there something wrong with it?
Mary: No, it's scanning for viruses.
Jack: Is that important?
Mary: Oh yes. If you don't set it to scan for viruses regularly, you could miss a virus which would give your computer a serious infection.
Jack: Thanks for the tip. See you in 30 minutes.
杰克:請問可不可以借用你的計算機寄一封電子郵件?
瑪麗:對不起,現(xiàn)在不可以。你半小時后再來吧。
杰克:為什么?計算機有毛病嗎?
瑪麗:不是,只是在檢查有沒有病毒。
杰克:這有必要嗎? 瑪麗:當(dāng)然有。假如你不設(shè)定計算機定期檢查病毒,就可能有病毒未能及時發(fā)現(xiàn),使計算機受到嚴(yán)重感染。
杰克:謝謝指教。三十分鐘之后我再來吧。
計算機有所謂bug(臭蟲)和virus(病毒)。Bug指程序設(shè)計的小錯誤,例如:The software must be debugged before it can be used(這軟件要先除去錯誤,才可使用)。Virus則是故意設(shè)計使計算機不能正常運作的程序,和bug不同。
當(dāng)然,個別病毒可以用bug為名,例如:The Love Bug virus was said to have been written by a Filipino( ‘愛蟲’病毒據(jù)說是出于-菲律賓人之手)。病毒經(jīng)過改寫,就成為變種,叫variant,例如:Your computer has been infected with a new variant of the virus(你的計算機感染了病毒的新品種)。有些病毒會偽裝為實用的程序,進(jìn)入計算機系統(tǒng)之后,則伺機破壞,這類病毒叫Trojan horse(特洛伊木馬),取古時特洛伊王國被希臘人用木馬攻陷的故事。I am afraid you have downloaded a highly destructive Trojan horse program即‘你恐怕是下載了個破壞力巨大的特洛伊木馬程序’。清除病毒,英文叫remove/disinfect a virus,例如:The disinfection process involves removing the virus from the computer system and repairing any damage(消毒過程包括除去計算機系統(tǒng)的病毒,并修復(fù)有被破壞的地方)。
預(yù)防病毒的軟件或程序,叫anti-virus software/program,例如:An anti-virus program is scanning the computer's memory and disk drives for viruses(防毒程序正檢查計算機的內(nèi)存和磁盤驅(qū)動器,看看有沒有病毒)。
