Liz: Why the long face?
Eddie: Well someone told me that Microsoft has announced another security loophole in the Windows operating system and that's the one I've got on my computer.
Liz: Windows is a bit like Swiss cheese. But don't worry, you can download a patch to fix it.
Eddie: How do I do that?
Liz: Click on the “Tools” menu in Internet Explorer and choose the “Windows Update” option. That'll take you to the Microsoft Website.
Eddie: What do I do then?
Liz: Just follow the instructions they give you. It only takes a couple of minutes.
麗絲：為什么愁眉苦臉？
愛德：有人告訴我說，微軟表示窗口操作系統(tǒng)的安全上還有漏洞，而我的計(jì)算機(jī)正是用那種系統(tǒng)。
麗絲：窗口有點(diǎn)像瑞士干酪。不過，你也不必?fù)?dān)心，下載一個(gè)修補(bǔ)程序，就可以解決問題。
愛德：怎樣下載呢？來源：考試大
麗絲：用鼠標(biāo)指向‘國際互聯(lián)網(wǎng)瀏覽器’，按出‘工具程序’菜單，選擇‘窗口更新’一項(xiàng)，就可進(jìn)入微軟網(wǎng)站。
愛德：然后怎么辦呢？來源：www.examda.com
麗絲：然后只須按照他們指示去做，前后不過幾分鐘時(shí)間。
Windows is a bit like Swiss cheese是什么意思呢？原來瑞士干酪表面滿是小洞。因此，英文成語to have more holes than Swiss cheese（洞子比瑞士干酪還多）是說法律、論據(jù)等處處漏洞，例如：(1) Your argument that smoking is good for one's health has more holes than Swiss cheese（你的‘吸煙有益健康’議論不堪一擊）。(2) The accused put up a Swiss-cheese defense（被告的答辯漏洞百出）。
計(jì)算機(jī)詞語不少是借用故有詞語而引申其義，patch就是一例。這個(gè)字本來是指‘補(bǔ)綴用的布片’，作動詞是指‘補(bǔ)綴’，例如：(1) There is a patch on the knee of his pants（他褲子膝上打了補(bǔ)釘）。(2) My pants have to patched up（我的褲子要補(bǔ)綴了）。現(xiàn)在，計(jì)算機(jī)的修補(bǔ)程序就叫patch。Patch也可作動詞，例如：(1) This patch will correct the security problem with the Windows operating system（這個(gè)修補(bǔ)程序，可解決窗口操作系統(tǒng)的安全問題）。(2) You must update your software regularly to patch security holes（你必須經(jīng)常更換新軟件，以堵塞安全漏洞）。
留意software是不可數(shù)名詞(uncountable noun)，切勿說a software或softwares，例如I loaded some anti-virus software onto the computer（我把防毒軟件加載計(jì)算機(jī)）這一句，some不可改為a。Hardware（硬件）、glassware（玻璃器皿）、ironware（鐵器）等，同樣是不可數(shù)名詞。(考試大外語編輯整理)
