I knew it was time to upgrade my computer when I finished spell-checking a document. I had typed in a word I was certain was spelled correctly, but the computer failed to recognize it, offering instead “entrant,” “interned” or “internee” as possible substitutions. The word in my document “Internet.”
當我做完一篇文章的拼寫檢查,我知道該給電腦升級了。我確定在我的文章里的字沒有拼錯,但是電腦卻不認識它,反而提供幾個可能的替代字:“entrant(參加競賽者)”、“interned(被扣押的)”、“internee(被拘留者)”。而我文章里的字是“Internet(互聯(lián)網(wǎng))”。
