Personal computers are available as desktop
computers and notebook computers, sometimes called
“ laptop computers
”.
个人电脑可以分为台式电脑和笔记本电脑，有时候被加作便携式电脑。
The series of instructions that tell a computer
how to carry out processing tasks is referred to as a computer
program, or simply a program.

A computer system usually includes two parts:
hardware and software. The hardware has been defined
as “anything you can
kick”. Although this definition is coarse, it
illustrates that your computer hardware consists of the physical
components of your PC. The software comprises the programs and data
that interact with your hardware.
计算机系统通常包括两部分：软件和硬件。硬件可以被定义为“你可以踢到的任何东西”。虽然这个定义很粗俗，但是它解释出电脑的硬件是由你的个人电脑的物理成分组成。软件包含一些可以和你的硬件互动的程序和数据。
The electronic and mechanical devices that
manipulate data are known as hardware.
电子的，机械的，操作数据的设备被认为是硬件。
Software is instructions and associated data,
stored in electronic format, which direct the computer to
accomplish a task.
软件是一些指令和相关联的数据，它们以电子格式的形式储存，用来指导计算机完成一项任务。
Typically, your computer will need a CPU, a RAM,
a hard disk, a floppy disk drive, a CD-ROM drive, a main board or
motherboard in your system unit. A PC modem enables your PC to
communicate with other computers through telephone
line.
典型的，你的计算机将会需要机箱里安装一个中央处理器，一个随机存储器，一个硬盘，一个软驱，一个光驱和一个主板。一个个人电脑的调制解调器能使你的电脑通过电话线和其他的电脑进行交流。
The system unit is the case that holds the main
circuit boards, microprocessor, power supply, and storage
devices.
机箱是一个盒子，里面装配有主要的电路板，微型处理器，电源和存储设备。
Most desktop computers use a separate monitor as
a display device, whereas notebook computers use a flat panel LCD
screen (liquid crystal display screen).
大多数台式电脑使用一个分开的显示器作为显示设备，与此相反，笔记本电脑使用的是一个平面板的液晶显示屏。
Most computers are equipped with a keyboard as
primary input device.
大多数的计算机被装配一个键盘作为主要的输入设备。
A mouse is an alternative input device designed
to manipulate on-screen
Graphical objects.
鼠标是一个可选择性的输入设备，设计用来操作屏幕上的图形对象。
A floppy disk drive is a storage device that
reads data from and writes data to floppy disks.
软驱是一个从软盘里读取数据和写入数据存储设备。
CPU is short for Central Processing Unit, it
executes instructions to process data, and sometimes called a
microprocessor.
CPU是中央处理器的简称，它执行指令来处理数据，有时候被叫做微型处理器。
Random Access Memory, an area in the computer
system unit that temporarily holds data before and after it is
processed.
随机存储器位于机箱里面的一个区域，它在数据被处理的前后临时的保存数据。
Read Only Memory consists of one or more chips,
help a computer prepare for processing tasks.
只读存储器由一个或者多个芯片组成，帮助计算机做好处理任务前的准备。
Some modems, called external modems, sit in a box
outside your system unit. Internal modems, on the other hand,
reside inside your system unit. No matter which one you used, you
can connect to other computers, as they operate
identically.
一些调制解调器，叫做外置调制解调器，位于机箱外面的一个盒子里。内置的调制解调器，从另一方面讲，位于机箱的内部。无论你选择使用哪一个，你都可以连接到其他电脑上，当它们同等运行的时候。
Once you've selected the software that you want
to use, you tell your computer exactly what you want to do by using
a graphical user interface, which displays buttons, menus, and
icons on a screen that you can manipulate using the keyboard or
mouse.
一旦选择了你想使用的软件，你通过图形用户界面精确的告诉计算机你想做什么，图形用户界面在屏幕上显示了按钮，菜单和图标，你可以通过使用键盘和鼠标来操纵它们。
The means which humans and computers communicate
is user interface.
A user interface is a combination of software and
hardware.
