1.AligntheaudiocardwiththePCIslotandpressthecardgentlybutfirmlyintotheslot.

分析:本句為祈使句,包含兩個動作:“align”和“press”;“align...with...”譯為“使……與……對齊,使……與……排成一排”。

句意:將聲卡對準PCI插槽,將聲卡輕輕地按入插槽,但是要插牢。

2.DesignedtocomplementSoundBlaster,itfeaturesEAXADVANCEDHDfortheultimatedigitalentertainmentexperience.

分析:“it”指代文中上一句中的“CreativeMediaSource”,“Designed”解釋為“被設(shè)計”,邏輯主語是“it”,“feature”作動詞,表示“具有……特征”。

句意:CreativeMediaSource被設(shè)計成SoundBlaster的輔助工具,它具有EAXANVANCEDHD播放功能,帶給您最佳的數(shù)碼娛樂體驗。

3.WithCreativeMediaSourceOrganizer,youcaneasilycreatehighqualityMP3songsfrommusicCDsthatyouown.

分析:“thatyouown”作“musicCDs”的定語。

句意:使用CreativeMediaSourceOrganizer,您能夠輕松地把您擁有的音樂CD創(chuàng)建成高品質(zhì)的MP3歌曲。

4.IntheTaskbar,clicktheGetInfobuttonifyouwantyourMusicInformationProvidertofindthetrackdetailsforyourCD.

分析:“ifyouwantyourMusicInformationProvidertofindthetrackdetailsforyourCD”為if引導的條件狀語從句。

句意:如果您希望音樂信息提供器找到CD曲目信息,請在任務(wù)欄中單擊,獲取信息按鈕。

5.RegisterwithyourMusicInformationProvidertoretrievediscinformationforyouraudioCDsviatheInternet.

分析:“registerwith”解釋為“注冊”,“to”引導動詞不定式,表示目的。

句意:注冊音樂信息提供器允許您通過Internet重新獲取音樂CD的光盤信息。

6.Youcan,however,chooseto“upmix”theaudiosothatitisheardfromallyoursurroundspeakers.

分析:“sothat”是連詞,此處引導結(jié)果狀語從句,解釋為“所以,因此”。

句意:然而,您可以選擇“上混”音頻,這樣,所有的環(huán)繞音箱都能播放音頻。

7.CMSSdeliversrich3Dvirtualsurroundsoundwithheadphonesor2speakersystem,andmultichannelaudioplaybackwith5.1,6.1or7.1speakersystems(shownasFig.15-4).

分析:后半句由于主語和謂語與前半句相同,所以省略,將其補充完整是“andCMSSdeliversmultichannelaudioplaybackwith5.1,6.1or7.1speakersystems.”

句意:CMSS通過耳機或雙音箱系統(tǒng)呈送飽滿的3D虛擬環(huán)繞聲音,通過5.1、6.1或7.1音箱系統(tǒng)(如圖15-4所示)呈送多聲道音頻播放。ExercisesⅠ.Fillintheblanksaccordingtothetext:(1)Uninstall______________ofanyaudiocardor______________inyourcomputer.(2)Align______________with______________andpressthecardgentlybutfirmlyintotheslot.(3)InserttheInstallationandApplicationsCDintoyour_______.(4)______________isasoftwaresuiteforcreating,playing,organizingandtransferringmusicordatafiles.(5)StereoMP3,WMA,CDmusic,andotherdigitalaudiomayonlyplaybackonthetwofrontspeakersin______________.Ⅱ.Decidewhethereachofthefollowingstatementsistrueorfalseaccordingtothetext:(1)Whenpreparingyourcomputer,youshouldconnectyourcomputer’spowercordfromthewalloutlet.(2)WhenyoupresstheaudiocardintothePCIslot,youshouldnotforcethecardintotheslot.Ifitdoesnotfitproperly,gentlyremoveitandtryagain.(3)Whenyouinstallthedriversandapplicationsoftheaudiocard,youshouldfollowtheinstructionsonthescreen.(4)Youcanchooseto“downmix”theaudiosothatitisheardfromallyoursurroundspeakers.(5)CMSSdeliversrich3Dvirtualsurroundsoundwithheadphonesor2speakersystem,andmultichannelaudioplaybackwith2.1,4.1,6.1or7.1speakersystems.Ⅲ.Pointoutseparationineachofthefollowingsentencesandexplainwhatcausetheseparation:(1)Hehasgoodjudgmentwhoreliesnotwhollyonhisown.(2)Thetimewillcomewhenmancanflytowhereverhelikesintheuniverse.(3)MaryistheonlygirlIknowwhocanplaytheguitar.(4)Anykindofcameraswilldothathasashutterthatcanbemadetoremainopenforatimeexposure.(5)Thereisnowayinwhich,ifthesocietyofwhichweareapartbeginstogotopieces,wecanhelpgoingtopiecesourselves.Ⅳ.TranslatethefollowingparagraphsintoChinese:·Education.Theessenceofmultimediaistomakecomputermoreinteresting.Itdoesn’tmaterifachildisingradeschooloranadultisgettingamater’sdegree.Doyouthinkmakingthelearningprocessmoreinterestingwillhelpthelearningprocess?Youbetitwill.Unfortunately,manyschoolknowthisisthecase,buttheylackfundstoimplementmultimediaeducationalsystems.·Edutainment.Thisisanewtypeofsoftwarecategorythatmixeseducationwithentertainment.Theideaistomakelearningfunwhileprovidingsometypeofentertainment.Severalcompaniesarebecomingleadersinthisnewfield,creatingsomestrikingapplications.ReadingMaterialsUsesforMultimedia
