1、Unit FourText AText B能力分析訓(xùn)練Text A The firewall actually defines the difference between Internet and Intranet. They have to do with performance management and prioritization of service, but the primary one is the firewall. It is the difference between Internet and Intranet. Firewalls are very importa

2、nt. But, is the firewall the only way to connect from your Intranet, from your inside network, to the Internet? In most cases, the answer is no.Firewalls are imperfect because they provide only a single point at which we can issue some control. There are many kinds of firewalls, such as “simple traf

3、fic recording system”, “IP packets filter gateway” (or IP packets examine router) and the “proxy application gateway”. Each provides different level of security checking. Which is the best? It is hard to say, because it depends on what kind of files (database) you want to protect and what kind of pr

4、otection you want the firewall to provide, since we know that there are four kinds of documents: public used, copyrighted, secret and confidential. Among all the firewalls, “simple traffic recording system” is the simplest one. It is a kind of recording device that can keep all the records of passin

5、g through traffic in a database or document for auditing purpose. he rest kinds of firewalls are all structured on the base of packets filtering techniques. The packets are small subsets of data that travel through networks, each with the source address, destination address, protocol used, and part

6、of the E-mail texts. This kind of firewalls has two functions: chokes and gates. There are two types of rules used for examining the data traffic: one is called “default permit”, which allows all traffic except that explicitly blocked by firewall administrators; the other is called “default deny”, w

7、hich denies all traffic except that explicitly allowed by the firewall administrator. Generally speaking, the latter is better. The packets filter gate (or packets examine router) is a more common used firewall. It is a kind of router used for packet filtering. Another kind of firewall is called “pr

8、oxy application gateway”, which employs the proxy service software, which not only provides traffic filtering at IP and transport levels, but also provides application level protocol checking at application level.Notes 1When we talk about the Internet, we have to be very careful to identify the fact

9、 that the Internet and Intranet are actually the same physical network. 這里的that the Internet and Intranet are actually the same physical network引導(dǎo)的是同位語(yǔ)從句。 同位語(yǔ)從句用于對(duì)前面出現(xiàn)的名詞作進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明，一般用連詞that引導(dǎo)。 常見(jiàn)的先行名詞有fact、idea、belief、news、hope、conclusion、suggestion、order、problem、report、decision等。 例如：She finally made t

10、he decision that she would join the fashion show. 她終于決定參加那場(chǎng)時(shí)裝秀。 I had no idea how many books I could borrow at a time. 我不知道一次能借幾本書(shū)。 The news that their team had won the championship came. 他們隊(duì)獲冠軍的消息傳來(lái)了。 本句譯為：討論互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時(shí)，我們細(xì)心一點(diǎn)的話(huà)可以發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)事實(shí)，就是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和內(nèi)部網(wǎng)實(shí)際上是同一個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)。 2Generally speaking, the latter is better, for it

11、 doesnt need to update its checking list often, because it only let the preauthorized users to access in and turn down all the unauthorized accessing, no matter what kind of intruders they are, known and unknown. 這里的no matter what kind of intruders they are, known and unknown引導(dǎo)的是讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。 引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句的連詞和

12、詞組有though、although、whether、even though、even if、no matter what(when, how)、whatever(whenever, however)等。 例如：No matter what you may say, I would not change my mind. 無(wú)論你說(shuō)什么，我都不會(huì)改變主意。 本句譯為：總的來(lái)說(shuō)，后者更好一點(diǎn)，因?yàn)樗恍枰?jīng)常更新它的檢查標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，它只讓預(yù)先授權(quán)的用戶(hù)進(jìn)入并拒絕所有非授權(quán)的進(jìn)入，無(wú)論是已知的或未知的入侵者。Text B Computer crime is growing around the world

13、. The goal of computer security is to institute controls that preserve security, integrity, and availability. The most powerful tool in providing computer security is coding. By transforming data so that it is unintelligible to the outside observer, the value of an interception and the possibility o

14、f a modification or a fabrication are almost nullified. Encryption provides secrecy for data. Encryption is an important tool in computer security, but one should not overrate its importance. Users must understand that encryption does not solve all computer security problems. 1.Encryption The most w

15、idely used technique is the password, a string of characters that the user must provide to gain access to a system. The system stores each password for comparison with the string presented by the user.2User Authentication Techniques A password scheme is economical, acceptable to most users and easy

16、to implement. It has a number of problems, however. Although the method depends on the secrecy of the password, it is common for users, to write down passwords in exposed places or divulge them to others. Others persons can observe the keying in of password.Another method that has been used to learn

17、 a password is spoofing. Other authentication techniques involve some readable machine object possessed by the user, such as a card or badge. But here, there is the danger of loss, theft or forgery of object. Numerous hardware devices have been invented to assist in computer security. These devices

18、range from hardware implementations of encryption to locks limiting access to theft protection to devices to verify users identities.3.Hardware ControlsNotes 1The goal of computer security is to institute controls that preserve security, integrity, and availability. 這里的不定式短語(yǔ)to institute controls tha

19、t preserve security, integrity, and availability作句子的表語(yǔ)。 例如：His purpose is to win the presidential election.他的目標(biāo)是要贏得此次總統(tǒng)大選。 本句譯為：計(jì)算機(jī)安全防范的目的是對(duì)系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行控制，以保證系統(tǒng)的保密性、完整性和可用性。 2By transforming data so that it is unintelligible to the outside observer 這里by引導(dǎo)的介詞短語(yǔ)作句子的狀語(yǔ)，而so that引導(dǎo)的是結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句。 本句譯為：通過(guò)數(shù)據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)換，使外部人員無(wú)法識(shí)別

20、 3Thus, encryption is at the heart of methods for ensuring all three goals of computer security. 這里介詞短語(yǔ)at the heart of methods for ensuring all three goals of computer security作句子的表語(yǔ)。 例如：He is at work. 他在工作。 The party is in power. 現(xiàn)在是該黨執(zhí)政。 本句譯為：因而加密是保證計(jì)算機(jī)安全的3個(gè)目標(biāo)的主要方法。 4Thus, it is important to know

21、the situations in which encryption is useful and to use it effectively. 這里的不定式短語(yǔ)to know the situations in which encryption is useful and to use it effectively是真正的句子主語(yǔ)，it是形式主語(yǔ)。 例如：It is necessary to learn a foreign language. 學(xué)習(xí)一門(mén)外語(yǔ)是有必要的。 It is difficult to finish the task in an hour. 一個(gè)小時(shí)內(nèi)完成這個(gè)任務(wù)有困難。

22、本句譯為：所以，重要的是了解在什么情況下加密才有用和有效。 5Many users, however, are unaware of the need for security, especially in situations in which a group has recently undertaken a computing task that was previously performed by a central computing department. 這里的in whichcomputing department是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾situations，而該從句中又嵌套了一個(gè)定

23、語(yǔ)從句that wascomputing department，修飾task。 本句譯為：但是，很多用戶(hù)沒(méi)有認(rèn)識(shí)到安全的重要性，特別是當(dāng)小組剛接手的計(jì)算任務(wù)原來(lái)是由中央計(jì)算機(jī)部門(mén)完成的時(shí)候。 6so that using the control does not seriously affect the task being protected. 這里so that引導(dǎo)的是結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句，而該從句中的主語(yǔ)是動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)using the control。 本句譯為：才能避免對(duì)所保護(hù)的工作造成嚴(yán)重影響。ExercisesTrue or false 1The most powerful tool in

24、 providing computer security is coding. 2Encryption provides integrity for data. 3If encryption is not used properly, it can have no effect on security or can, in fact, improve the performance of the entire system. 4By authentication the system verifies the users claim of identity. 5A password schem

25、e is economical, acceptable to most users but hard to implement. 6Numerous hardware devices have been invented to assist in computer security. 7In fact, some of the simplest controls, such as frequent changes of passwords, can be achieved at essentially no cost but with tremendous effects. 8Some of

26、the easiest, most effective, and least expensive controls are software controls. 9People using controls should not be convinced of the need for security.10Controls should be selective so that they do not exclude legitimate accesses. 1The goal of computer security is to institute controls that preser

40、成漢語(yǔ)中的正說(shuō)，或反之，這樣才能確切表達(dá)原意并符合語(yǔ)言的規(guī)范。 這種把正說(shuō)處理為反說(shuō)，把反說(shuō)處理為正說(shuō)的譯法，叫正反、反正表達(dá)法。 這種正說(shuō)和反說(shuō)的相互轉(zhuǎn)換是翻譯技巧中的一個(gè)重要方法。 它屬于引申和修辭范圍。 那么，什么是正說(shuō)和反說(shuō)呢？ 英語(yǔ)詞句中含有“never”，“no”，“not”，“non-”，“un-”，“im-”，“in-”，“ir-”，“-less”等成分以及漢語(yǔ)詞句中含有“不”、“沒(méi)”、“無(wú)”、“未”、“甭”、“別”、“休”、“莫”、“非”、“毋”、“勿”等成分的為反說(shuō)，不含有這些成分的為正說(shuō)。 正說(shuō)和反說(shuō)包括的詞類(lèi)范圍很廣，不僅包括動(dòng)詞、形容詞、副詞、名詞、介詞和連詞，而且包

41、括各種詞組、短語(yǔ)和從句。 現(xiàn)以實(shí)例對(duì)正反、反正表達(dá)法加以說(shuō)明。 在不少情況下，由于有的詞語(yǔ)含有特殊意義，如不從反面著筆，譯文就不通，這時(shí)必須反說(shuō)。例如： I have read your articlesI expect to meet an old man 我讀過(guò)你的文章，沒(méi)想到你這樣年輕。（動(dòng)詞） He was absent from his own country last year 他去年不在自己的國(guó)家。（形容詞短語(yǔ)） 一、英譯漢正說(shuō)反譯法 He dived into the water fully clothed and rescued the children 他衣服沒(méi)脫就跳入水中

42、，把孩子救了上來(lái)。（副詞） He was extremely sorry for the shortness of time 他對(duì)時(shí)間不足感到十分抱歉。（名詞） I do think that it is beyond his power to fulfill the task 我的確認(rèn)為要完成這項(xiàng)任務(wù)是他力所不及的。（介詞） The lecture was interesting,but as far as I am concerned the speaker was speaking over my head 這講座很有趣，但對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，講座太深了，聽(tīng)不懂。（介詞短語(yǔ)） The plan a
