told it is cheaper to buy computers here.

a new computer have great discounts for students.

SHERRY: I don't know much about I know I

want a desktop computer with a lot of memory. And I need a

printer.

ALEX: Well, first let's consider your , for

example, is a system I highly recommend--the Power Macintosh

comes with 64 megabytes of total memory.

SHERRY: Is that a lot? Sixty-four?

ALEX: Yes, it is. It should be enough for any student needs

you might department are you in?

SHERRY: History.

ALEX: Well, so you will mostly be using word processing, for

writing papers.I recommend the Corel Word Perfect program for

word can talk about software later. Let's talk about

your hardware have a special deal on right now.I should

tell you about it, as it only goes until next Tuesday.

If you buy one of these fifteen-inch color monitors with a

Power Macintosh G3,you can actually get 30 percent off the usual

sale price.

a good system for a graduate student?

This has an Apple on it. Is this an Apple computer?

ALEX: Yes, it's a Macintosh. It's Apple. Macintosh and Apple

are the same thing.

SHERRY: I don't want Macintosh. I want PC.

ALEX: I'm sorry, but our university computer center only sells

Macintosh equipment.

SHERRY: What? Are you serious?

ALEX: Yes.

SHERRY: But nobody uses Macintosh!

the university here use find it is better for writing

and word-processing,and that is what students mostly do. May I

ask where you're from?

SHERRY: Yes, I'm from Taiwan.

ALEX: Well, I know that in most Asian countries Apple is not

very here in America, especially in universities and

publishing companies,Apple is very commonly used.

SHERRY: But I need a computer that can handle writing in

Chinese.

ALEX: There are several Chinese writing programs you can

use with e is no problem for Apple. SHERRY:

Hmm.

I think I should ask some of my friends for advice before I

make a decision.I'm sorry.

ALEX: No, don't be sorry. It's reasonable to ask your

believe me, most of the students here in the

university--Asian students included--most of them use Apple.

back later.

ALEX: You're very welcome. Here is my card, if you need any

help.

亚历克斯：我可以帮你吗?

雪莉：是的，这学期我需要买一台电脑，人家告诉我这里的电脑

比较便宜。

亚历克斯：的确，你听到的是对的。在这买新电脑你可以拿到很

不错的价格，我们给学生很大的折扣。

雪莉：我对电脑了解不多，但是我知道我要一台有很大内存的桌

上电脑，而且我还要一台打印机。

亚历克斯：好的，我们先考虑你要的电脑。我极力推荐这儿的一

套系统-麦金塔 G3。它的总内存为六十四百万位元。

雪莉：那很多吗?六十四?

亚历克斯：是的，对任何学生的需求应该是足够了。你是什么系

的?

雪莉：历史系。

亚历克斯：好的，所以你会常用文字处理来写报告。我推荐 Corel

Word Perfect 程式来做文字处理。我们待会再来谈软件，先谈硬件吧。

我们现在有特价， 我应该告诉你，因为只持续到星期二为止。

如果你购买这套有麦金塔 G3 的 15 寸彩色主机， 事实上就可以有平

常售价的七折。 雪莉：七折?

亚历克斯：是的。

雪莉：哇，太好了。你觉得对一个研究生而言，这是一个很好的

系统吗?

亚历克斯：是的，它是很棒的系统。

雪莉：嗯。嘿，等等，这上面有个苹果记号，这是苹果电脑吗?

亚历克斯：是的，是麦金塔，也是苹果机。麦金塔和苹果机是一

样的。

雪莉：我不想要麦金塔，我要个人电脑。

亚历克斯：很抱歉，但是大学的电脑中心只卖麦金塔设备。

雪莉：什么?说真的吗?

亚历克斯：是的。

雪莉：可是没有人用麦金塔。

亚历克斯：不会啊，这所大学大部分的学生和教授都用麦金塔。

他们发现这套系统对写作和文字处理比较好，而且大多数学生都在使

用它。我可以问你从哪来的呢?

雪莉：我是台湾来的。

亚历克斯：我知道苹果电脑在亚洲大多数的国家并不是很流行。

但在美国这里，尤其是大学和出版社里，使用苹果电脑是非常普遍的。

雪莉：但是我需要一台可以处理中文写作的电脑。 亚历克斯：

有一些中文的写作程式可以在麦金塔上使用，对苹果电脑而言，中文

不是问题。 雪莉嗯……我想在做决定前请教我一些朋友的建议。

很抱歉。

亚历克斯：不会，不需要抱歉。问你朋友是合理的，但是相信我，

这所大学大多数的学生─-包括亚洲的学生，大部分都使用苹果电脑。

雪莉：好的，谢谢你的建议，我可能之后会再回来。

亚历克斯：非常欢迎。这是我的名片，如果你需要任何帮忙的话
