　　聽力內容：

　　Chloe的電腦出了點毛病，她打電話給朋友Matt，讓他幫忙看看。

　　Professor: That's right, Winnie. Isn't it good to have friends who understand computers?

　　那可不，有電腦達人當朋友真不錯!

　　Chloe: Hi Matt, thanks for coming over to help me fix my computer.

　　Matt: No problem. I know everything about computers. What's the problem?

　　Chloe: I can't surf the Internet. What do you think the problem is?

　　Matt: Well it could be a software problem, or it could be a hardware problem.

　　Matt 說，只要是有關電腦的東西，沒他不懂的，口氣還真大，希望他不是吹牛。

　　Professor: Well, we will see. Winnie, what is wrong with Chloe's computer?

　　她說，她不能"surf" the Internet. Professor Bowman, surf不是沖浪的意思么？

　　Professor: Yes, but you can also use it to talk about browsing the Internet. For example, I spend three hours every day surfing the Internet.

　　我明白了，surf the Internet就是上網。Matt說，Chloe的電腦不能上網，這不是hardware problem - 硬件的問題，就是software problem - 軟件的問題。

　　Professor: That's right! Let's see if Matt can help fix the computer.

　　Matt: Well, let's see if the computer can turn on. Here, I'll just press the power button.

　　Chloe: Uh ... Matt? That's not my computer. That's my TV.

　　Matt: Huh? Oh yes, of course. Where is your computer?

　　Chloe: My computer is over on the desk. See? It is turned on, but when I try to open the browser, there is no connection to the Internet.

　　這個Matt，怎么連電腦和電視都分不清！他說開電腦，卻伸手去按TV的power button - 電視開關！

　　Professor: He doesn't sound like a computer expert at all.

　　可不！不過Professor, Chloe說，她想打開browser的時候，沒法連接網絡。 Browser就是上網用的瀏覽器吧？

　　Professor: Correct. You can also say you opened a browser window.

　　哦....open a browser window就是打開一個瀏覽窗口。我倒真想看看Matt是不是真懂電腦。

　　Matt: Hmm .... have you tried re-starting your computer?

　　Chloe: Matt, of course I tried re-starting my computer. That was the first thing I did!

　　Matt: Really? Well if that didn't work, I don't know what to do.

　　Chloe: That's your only idea? You said you know everything about computers. I should have just called technical support.

　　Matt: Well re-starting the computer always works for me.

　　我猜的沒錯！Matt唯一的辦法就是re-start the computer，重新啟動電腦，這誰不會??！對了，重啟電腦是不是也可以說re-boot the computer？

　　Professor: That's right. Re-start and re-boot mean the same thing.

　　看來，Chloe對Matt很失望，覺得自己還不如打電話給電腦公司的technical support - 技術服務部門呢。

　　Professor: Matt has one more idea to fix the computer. Let's listen.

　　Matt: Wait! I know how to fix the problem!

　　Chloe: Great! What should we do?

　　Matt: We should contact the Internet company to see if their service is down. Let's log on to their website to find their phone number.

　　Chloe: Uh, Matt? The Internet isn't working. How can we log on to the website?

　　Matt: Oh yeah.

　　Professor: So Winnie, what is Matt's solution for fixing the computer?

　　Chloe: 他出餿主意說，去網絡公司的網站找他們的聯絡電話，然后打過去問問是不是網絡出問題了！

　　Professor: Exactly. But that's impossible because the Internet is down.

　　就是！Chloe的問題就是不能上網，Matt卻要上網查東西，這不是瞎出主意么！對了，Professor, Chloe說Internet is down, 就是說網壞了吧？

　　Professor: Yes. For example, you can say "I couldn't go to work today because the subway is down." You can also say that your E-mail or phone service is down.

　　我明白了。希望Chloe不是因為什么急事需要上網，要不然都讓這個假行家Matt給耽誤了!

　　Professor: Well, let's listen next time to find out!
