2.實用對話
Talking about Computer Viruses談論電腦病毒
Julia: My computer crashed when I opened an E-mail attachment yesterday.
朱莉婭:昨天我打開一個電子郵件附件的時候,電腦死機了。
Sergio: It might've been infected with a virus.
塞吉奧:可能是感染病毒了。
Julia: Virus? E-mails can carry viruses?
朱莉婭:病毒?電子郵件也會帶病毒?
Sergio: Viruses are most easily spread through E-mail attachments. That is why it is essential that you never open E-mail attachments unless you know who it's from.
塞吉奧:病毒最容易通電子郵件附件傳播了。這就是為什么你如果不知道電子郵件的來源時千萬不要打開其附件的原因。
Julia: So if I open an E-mail with such an attachment, my computer would get infected at once?
朱莉婭:那如果我打開帶這種附件的電子郵件,我的電腦就會立刻受到感染,是嗎?
Sergio: Well, not exactly. The E-mail itself is not a virus. A virus must be attached to the E-mail to infect an executable program. To be more exact, viruses are executable
files. Since E-mails are not system files, they cannot infect
your computer.
塞吉奧:嗯,不完全是那樣。電子郵件本身并不是病毒。病毒只能附在電子郵件上以感染可執行性程序。更確切地說,病毒就是可執行性文件。因為電子郵件并不是系統文件,所以不會感染你的電腦。
Julia: But the attachment isn't like that, is it?
朱莉婭:但附件就不是那樣了,對吧?
Sergio: Yes. If you download a file attached to an E-mail and run it, there is a chance that the file may contain a virus. You may try Kaspersky anti-virus software.
塞吉奧:對。如果你下載了郵件所帶的附件并運行了它,那個文件就可能帶有病毒。你可以試試卡巴斯基殺毒軟件。
Julia : I see. Thank you very much.
朱莉婭:我明白了。非常感謝。
