Please choose one of them and write a short paper to explain your own opinion.Requirements:(1) Name the paper by yourself;(2) Your own opinion should be clearly put forward.(3)Try to find some articles via the internet or journals as references.(4) More than 1200 words.Topics:0.“People often complain that products are not made to last. They feel that making products that wear out fairly quickly wastes both natural and human resources. What they fail to see, however, is that such manufacturing practices keep costs down for the c onsumer and stimulate demand.”Which do you find more compelling: the complaint about products that do not last or the response to it? Explain your position using relevant reasons and/or examples drawn from your own experience, observations, or reading.1.“Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that their products are safe. If a product injures someone, for whatever reason, the manufacturer should be held legally and financially accountable for the injury.” Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above. Support your point of view with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.2.Analysis of Issue Questions: “Studies have found that employees of not-for-profit organizations and charities are often more highly motivated than employees of for-profit corporations to perform well at work when their performance is not being monitored or evaluated. Interviews with employees of not-for-profit organizations suggest that the reason for their greater motivation is the belief that their work helps to improve society. Because they believe in the importance of their work, they have personal reasons to perform well, even when no financial reward is present. Thus, if our corporation began donating a significant portion of its profits to humanitarian causes, ouremployees’ motivation and productivity would increase substantially and our overall profits would increase as well.” What do you think about this point? Explain why?3.“All companies should inv est heavily in advertising because high-quality advertising can sell almost any product or service.” Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion expressed above. Support your point of view with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.4.Analysis of Issue Questions: “Employers should have no right to obtain information about their employees’ health or other aspects of their personal lives without the employees’permission.” Which opinion do you prefer? Explain why?5.Analysis of Issue Questions: “Businesses and other organizations have overemphasized the importance of working as a team. Clearly, in any human group, it is the strong individual, the person with the most commitment and energy, who gets things done.” Which opinion do you prefer? Explain why?6.“Instead of relying on the advice of outside experts, organizations should place greater value on the advice that can come only from their own highly experienced employees.”Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.7.“When judging the qualifications of potential employees, business employers should rely solely on objective information, such as a candidate’s résumé and education. Personal interviews are much too subjective and are therefore not a valid basis on which to judge a person’s qualifications for a job.” Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.8.“Most people today place too much emphasis on satisfying their immediate desires. The overall quality of life would be greatly improved if we all focused instead on meeting our long-term needs.”Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.9.Analysis of Issue Questions: “If the primary duty and concern of a corporation is to make money, then conflict is inevitable when the corporation must also acknowledge a duty to serve society.” Which opinion do you prefer? Explain why?Market demand and resource maintenance“People often complain that products are not made to last. They feel that making products that wear out fairly quickly wastes both natural and human resources. What they fail to see, however, is that such manufacturing practices keep costs down for the consumer and stimulate demand."Which do you find more compelling, the complaint about products that do not last or the response to it? Explain your position, using relevant reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.The issue about the advantages and disadvantages for products to wear is a complex one. Different people hold different views due to their different angles. Many people feel that making products that wear out fairly quickly wastes both natural and human resources. On the other hand, it can be noted that such manufacturing practices keep costs down for the consumer and stimulate demand. In this discussion, I shall present arguments that favor the later statement and refute the first statement.As we know, no need, no consumption. Consumption and demand driven the economic development of a society, when a city or a country's consumption level increase, which will greatly that the city or the country's economic development is gradually progress and development, which shows that people in a good, progress direction, represent life is getting better and better. If people always meet the state, without the demand, the economy will remain stagnant, enterprises, factories, shops will not be able to run production,which is a kind of economic crisis. So, economic development cannot do without consumption, consumption cannot do without the demand, and the demand for lower cost to products and on the natural resources and human resources needs. It is not satisfactory to both sides.The product will be a waste of natural resources and human resources that should have a lot of explanation . First of all, products do need to wear out in order for newer, more innovative products to replace them. This is how the economy and technology progress. For example, in the computer industry, new technology is developed and older technology is replaced every two years.This is called the two-year cycle in the industry and this cycle has a tremendous effect to drive the research and development of computer industry to reach one peak after another. People may complain that their computers easily break and soon after two or three years they have to buy new computers. However they do also realize that the new computers they purchase are much more powerful, innovative, yet at roughly the same price as their old computers two years ago. This is a perfect exampleshowing how the cyclic replacement of older products can help stimulate demand and as a result, stimulate research and development of more innovative products and eventually keep the costs down.I find the response to the complaint more compelling. Although the complaint is valid, it is most often the case the building a product to last forever will indeed cost more than the average consumer is willing to pay. Creating such a product would require more materials and/or more heavy-duty wear resistant materials which inherently are more expensive. Another factor that would drive costs up is the fact that demand for products would decrease. The demand would decrease since people do not have to replace old products with new products as often. With the increased variable costs for materials combined with a reduction in the production volume associated with lower demand, manufacturers must raise prices to break even or maintain the current level of profits.Although a few producers may make products to last, it is understandable how these companies can be driven out of existence. If a new competitor enters the market with a similar product that has a shorter life but a substantially lower price, then they will probably steal major portions of the other company's market share. The effects depend heavily upon the consumer’s perception of quality and what the customers requirements from the product actually are.For example, consumers may decide between two types of automobiles. One car may be built to last a long time but may not have the performance or be as comfortable as another car that is cheaper. So most consumers would purchase the cheaper car even though it may not last-as long as the heavy-duty car. Consumers may not realize that the more expensive car is of higher quality in the sense that it will last longer and will not be willing to pay the extra cost.Consumer decisions also depend on what consumers are actually looking for in a product. Consumers typically get tired of driving the same car for many years and want to buy new cars fairly often. This tendency forces producers to keep costs low enough to allow low enough prices for people to buy cars often. People don’t want cars to last forever. In conclusion, producers are in the situation that they're in due to external forces from the consumers. Producers must compete and they have found the best way satisfy the majority of the consumers.In addition, manufacturing products that would wear out in some period is not a waste of human resources. In fact, in computer industry, a lot of innovative ideas aregenerated during the manufacturing process and these new ideas enable us to make newer and better products.Products that wear do not necessarily have poor quality. I believe that the most important factor to consider is if the new product is innovative enough to satisfy p eople’s needs. As long as innovation is generated and people’s needs are satisfied, no human resources are wasted. The group of people who feel that making products that wear out fairly quickly wastes human resources assume without justification that manufacturing products that wear out is not innovative and productive, which is just not true.Renewal is a common social phenomenon, when things are bad, people will buy new instead, when something old and not broken, people often because the market of new products tempted to buy new products to replace the old products, this update although the behavior of seem to squander natural resources and human resources, but only through the circulation and development so as to promote the economy, the important role of these natural resources and human resources to play really makes people benefit.Finally, I believe that manufacturing products that would wear out is not a waste of natural resources. Today, a lot of the older products can be recycled and reused. And recycle industry in turn creates millions of jobs that help propel the advancements of economy.Therefore, the world economic development will become better and better,people's lives will gradually entered a new milepost.Admittedly, products that wear out extremely easily and quickly are not good for either the consumer or the economy. However, there exists an optimal point how quickly a product should wear out in order to stimulate economy and lower costs.Therefore, based on the reasons mentioned above, I believe that manufacturing practices that make products that reasonably wear out can indeed help keep costs down for the consumer and stimulate demand, and they do not necessarily waste human and natural resources.。

1.So What is Cloud Computing?We see Cloud Computing as a computing model, not a technology. In this model “custom ers” plug into the “cloud” to access IT resources which are priced and provided “on-dema nd”. Essentially, IT resources are rented and shared among multiple tenants much as offi ce space, apartments, or storage spaces are used by tenants. Delivered over an Internet connection, the “cloud” replaces the company datacenter or server providing the same se rvice. Thus, Cloud Computing is simply ITservices sold and delivered over the Internet. R efer to section of Types of Cloud Computing.译文:我们把云计算看作是一种计算模型,而不是一种技术.在这个模型中,客户插入到云中访问IT资源,而这些资源被定价且按需提供。

专业英语短文翻译2南京邮电大学复习资料五:《专业英语》短文翻译1.The reader may ask , how does the demultiplexer know which groupof 8-digits relates to channel 1, 2, and so on ? Clearly this is important ! The problem is easily overcome by specifying a frame format , where at the start of each frame a unique sequence of pulses called the frame code , or synchronization word , is placed so as to identify the start of the frame. A circuit of the demultiplexer is arranged to detect the synchronization word, and thereby it knows that the next group of 8-digits corresponds to channel 1.2.Advances in audio, video and speech coding and compression algorithms and progress in Very Large System Integration technology influence the bit rate generated by a certain service and thus changethe service requirements for the network. In the future, new services with unknown requirement will appear. For the time being it is yet unclear, e. g. what the requirement in terms of bit rate for HDTV will be. A specialized network has great difficulties in adapting to changing or new service requirements.3.When the transmitter wishes to send data, it first places the line in a space level (i. e. , the complement of a mark) for one element period. This element is called the start bit and has a duration of T seconds. The transmitter then sends the character, 1 bit at a time, byplacing each successive bit on the line for a duration of T seconds, until all bits have been transmitted. Then a single parity bit is calculated by the transmitter and sent after the data bits. Finally, the transmitter sends a stop bit at a mark level (i. e. the same level as the idle state) for one or two bit periods. Now the transmitter may send another character whenever it wishes4.The cellular switch, which can be either analog or digital, switches calls to connect mobile subscribers to other mobile subscribers and to the nationwide telephone network.. It also contains data links providing supervision links between the processor and the switch and between the cell sites and the processor. The radio link carries the voice and signaling between the mobile unit and the cell site. Microwave radio links or wire lines carry both voice and data between the cellsite and the MTSO.5.Today's telecommunication networks are characterized by specialization . This means that for every individual telecommunication service at least one network exists that transports this service. A few examples of existing public networks are described below Computer data are transported in the public domain by a packet switched data network (PSDN) based on X.25 protocol6.Today’s telecommunication networks are characterized by specialization . This means that for every individual telecommunication service at least one network exists that transports this service. A few examples of existing public networks are described below:Computer data are transported in the public domain by a packet switched data network (PSDN) based on X.25 protocols.Television signals can be transported in three ways: broadcast via radio waves using ground antenna, by the coaxial tree network of the community antenna TV (CATV) network or recently via a satellite, using the so-called direct broadcast system (DBS)7.By far the most popular serial interface between a computer andits CRT (显示器) terminal isthe asynchronous serial interface . This interface is so called because the transmitted data and the received data are not synchronized over any extended period and therefore no special means of synchronizing the clocks at the transmitter and receiver is necessary. In fact, the asynchronous serial data link is a very old form of data transmission system and has its origin in the era of the第1页共4页南京邮电大学teleprinter.8.At the receiving end of an asynchronous serial data link, the receiver continually monitors the line looking for a start bit. Once the start bit has been detected, the receiver waits until the end of thestart bit and then samples the next N bits at their centers, using a clock generated locally by the receiver. As each incoming bit is sampled, it is used to construct a new character. When the received character has been assembled, its parity is calculated and compared with the receivedparity bit following the character. If they are not equal, a parityerror flag is set to indicate a transmission error.9.If we consider binary transmission , the complete informationabout a particular message will always be obtained by simply detecting the presence or absence of the pulse. By comparison, most other forms of transmission systems convey the message information using the shape , or level of the transmitted signal ; parameters are most easily affected by the noise and attenuation introduced by the transmission path . Consequently there is an inherent advantage for overcoming noisy environments by choosing digital transmission.10. The Internet is the largest repository of information which can provide very large network resources . The network resources can be divided into network facilities resources and network information resources . The network facilities resources provide us the ability of remote computation and communication . The network information resources provide us all kinds of information services , such as science , education , business , history , law , art , and , entertainment , etc11.The SDH standards are based on the principle of direct synchronous multiplexing which is the key to cost effective and flexible telecommunication networking. In essence, it means that individual tributary signals may be multiplexing directly into a higher rate SDH signal without intermediate stage of multiplexing. SDH Network Elements can then be interconnected directly with obvious cost and equipment savings over the existing network.12.Improvements in component performance, cost, and reliability by 1980 led to major commitments on the part of telephone companies. Fibre soon became the preferred transmission medium for long-haul trunks. Some early installations 0. 8 µm light sources and graded-index multimode fibre, but by 1983, designers of intercity links were thinking in terms of 1. 3 µm, single-mode systems. The single-mode fibere, used in conjunction with a 1. 3 µm laser, provides a bandwidth advantage which translates into increased repeater spacings for high data rate system.13.The individual elements of multimedia are already handled by a standard 486 personal computer, such things as audio, graphics and text, but the major challenge is in real time video, for this is the major business requirement and a necessity if multimedia systems are to become standard items for the desktop. This real time processing requires a vast amount of data storage and this is a function of the amount of information contained in a colour picture, for instance a normal640×480pixel colour picture requires well over 1 M bytes of storage to give the required quality, though for full motion video this is increased up to 100 M bytes of data.1.读者也许会问,解复用器怎么知道哪一组8位码对应于第一路、第二路及其他各路呢?显然这是很重要的。

南京邮电大学研究生专业英语翻译刘旭老师2017年第一学期注:译文仅供参考Reading 2(1)Wireless communication, despite the hype of the popular press, is a field that has been around for over a hundred years, starting around 1897 with Marconi’s successful demonstrations of wireless telegraphy. By 1901, radio reception across the Atlantic Ocean had been established; thus rapid progress in technology has also been around for quite a while.尽管受到大众媒体的炒作,从大约1897年马可尼无线电报成功示范开始,无线通信是一个已经存在一百多年的领域。
到1901年,横跨大西洋的无线电接收已经被建立;因此,技术的快速发展也已经有一段时间了。
(2)In the intervening hundred years, many types of wireless systems have flourished, and often later disappeared. For example, television transmission, in its early days, was broadcast by wireless radio transmitters, which is increasingly being replaced by cable transmission. Similarly, the point to point microwave circuits that formed the backbone of the telephone network are being replaced by optical fiber.在这一百年的时间里,许多类型的无线系统已经蓬勃发展,并且后来又消失了。
第一单元1 Passage Translation邮政的历史邮政的起源已经在时间的迷雾中消失了。
在一些古老的土地上,比如中国、波斯、埃及、希腊以及罗马帝国各省,我们发现了一种通信系统的遗迹,此通信系统通过口头或书面形式,由驻扎在公路沿线各点的人马接转传送。
这种邮政由君王和诸侯们垄断,而他们主要关心的也只是他们的命令能否到达其辽阔疆域最偏远的角落。
随着社会生活的发展,私人也被允许通过君王和修道院的信差相互联系。
这种半官半私的初期邮政组织一直持续到中世纪末期,但是不久人们就发现这种组织不足以满足不断变化的社会需求。
随着印刷术的出现,教育渗透到了社会的各个阶层,而新大陆的发现及其影响又加强了各国之间的联系。
于是通信稳步发展。
迫于此类需求,邮政也必然得以发展。
十六世纪时,弗朗索瓦·塔克西斯首次推出了一种在几个欧洲国家运营的邮政业务。
在他的推动下,邮政开始超越国界。
后来到十八世纪,邮政终于成为一种公共服务设施,并且逐渐呈现出现在的面貌。
起初,国际邮政交流由适合各国具体需求的双边协定来进行管理。
这种系统由于涉及到了使用不同货币、按不同重量单位来计算的各种资费,使得邮政业务的运作变得很复杂,阻碍了邮政的发展。
蒸汽机航海和铁路的发明给邮政带来了变化。
各国邮政部门意识到,要使国际通讯跟得上交通方式的发展,就要减少各种手续并使其标准化。
1840年,英国在这方面迈出了第一步。
在罗兰.希尔的建议下,英国国内信件的邮资降至一便士;与此同时,邮票产生了。
1868年,德国人海恩里希·冯·斯特凡草拟了建立世界邮政联盟的计划提纲。
在瑞士政府的邀请下,1874年9月15日召开了伯尔尼会议。
他建议政府把此计划呈交给伯尔尼会议进行研究讨论。
