Scene2. Class Note: Rebooting a computer

 請注意觀察以上的對話: 

1. Q: A和B的工作關係是 _____________?

A: Dana Murphy老師說: He is the computer instructor, she is the student.也有可能就是同事.
2.  Q: I got stuck -- A說這話是甚麼意思?

A: Dana Murphy老師說: "I got stuck" means I ran into a problem, like "I came up against a brick wall", "I couldn't go any further" I was making progress but then I stopped making progress ("got stuck" is a perfect term for it)本來一直好好的,不知怎麼,一下子就撞牆,不會往下走了.
3. Q: "The keyboard's frozen." 意思是 "the keyboard is frozen " 換句話說,就是 __________?

A: The keyboard's stuck. Dana Murphy老師說: Frozen or stuck are the best. Or "the keyboard won't work anymore," or "the keyboard's not responding." 鍵盤沒反應的時候,通常也是電腦整個停頓不動的狀態. Keyboards do get frozen, but even more common is the "computer is frozen." 就是我們這兒說的,"當機"了.
4. Q: 請比較:
You're going to have to reboot the system.
You need to reboot the system.

A: Dana Murphy老師說: These mean basically the same thing and are interchangeable.都可互通.
5. Q: simultaneously --"同一時間內" 這是很常用字嗎 ? 請上討論區發表你的看法.

A: Dana Murphy老師說: No, not usually, but sometimes. They would likely say, "Press control-alt-delete all at the same" or "hold down control-alt-delete at the same time." It's not "weird" though for people to say simultaneously. It's a big/long word but its not a pretentious or "tough" word - everyone knows what it means. 不能算是太艱澀的字,很多人都認得這字.
6. Q: 這幾句都一樣嗎?
