Victor turned on his computer. White letters appeared near the bottom of the black screen: “Resuming Windows.” Victor wondered how long it was going to take this time. Five minutes later, the light blue screen appeared: “To begin, click your user name.” He clicked on his name. Then he filled a pot with water to make some fresh coffee. He returned to his computer.
The desktop icons had still not appeared. Victor went into his bedroom, took the sheet off the bed and the pillowcases off the pillows, and threw them all into the clothes basket on the floor. He vacuumed his bedroom, and then returned to his computer. A few minutes later, the desktop appeared, with about 40 icons on it. He liked how colorful they were.
He clicked on his Word icon. Then he went into the bathroom and shaved. He came back out to the dining room, made himself a cup of coffee, and sat down. Word opened, a full half hour after Victor had turned his computer on. Victor typed his first name into the document. For about ten seconds, the screen was totally blank. Then "Victor" slowly appeared, one ... letter ... after ... another.
维克托打开他的电脑。白色字母出现在黑屏底部附近:“恢复Windows。”维克多想知道这一次需要多长时间。五分钟后,淡蓝色的屏幕出现:“开始,点击你的用户名。”他点击他的名字。然后,他用水填满了一壶新鲜的咖啡。他回到他的电脑。
桌面图标还没有出现。维克多走进他的卧室,从床上取下床单,把枕套从枕头上拿下,扔在地上的衣服篮子里。他抽走了他的卧室,然后回到他的电脑。几分钟后,桌面上出现了大约40个图标。他喜欢他们多么多彩。
他点击了他的Word图标。然后他走进浴室剃光。他回到餐厅,自己喝了一杯咖啡,坐下来。维克托打开电脑后半个小时,Word打开了。维克多在文件中输入了他的名字。大约十秒钟,屏幕完全空白。然后,“维克多”慢慢地出现,一个...信...之后...另一个。
