TRANSLATION 4- Translate the following passages into Persian (35):

• Computer technology is having a profound effect on physically challenged people. With the aid of computers, they are now better prepared to take control of their environments. A little over a decade ago, Nan Davis stunned the world. A paraplegic since an automobile accident on the night of her high school graduation, she walked to the podium to receive her college diploma –with the help of a rehabilitative tool that uses FES, or Functional Electrical Stimulation.

翻译：计算机技术对身体有残疾的人产生了深远的影响。在计算机的帮助下，他们现在能更好地掌控自己。十多年前，Nan Davis 震惊了全世界。在她高中毕业的晚上，一场车祸使得她变成了高位截瘫，而在使用 FES 的康复工具和功能性电刺激的帮助下，她最终成功走上讲台拿到了大学文凭。 • Most Existing graphics adapters have their own RAM, called video RAM or VRAM, where they prepare monitor-bound images for display. The size of the video RAM is important in that it determines the number of possible colors and resolution of the display, as well as the speed at which signals can be sent to the monitor. A minimum of two megabytes of video RAM is recommended to accommodate the complexities of modern graphics-based software. 翻译：大多数现有的图形适配器都有自己的内存，称为视频内存或显存，在那里他们会准备监控图像的显示。视频 ram 的大小非常重要，因为它决定了显示器的可能颜色和分辨率，以及信号可以发送到监视器的速度。为了适应现代图形化软件的复杂性，推荐使用至少两兆字节的显存。 • The power of a PC may not be related to its size. A few laptop PCs can run circles around

some tower PCs. Some user conveniences, however, should be sacrificed to achieve portability. For instance, input devices, such as keyboards and point-anddraw devices, are given less space in portable PCs and may be more cumbersome to use. 翻译： 手提电脑的功率可能与它的大小无关。一些笔记本电脑可以围绕塔型笔记本循环运行。不过，为了实现便携性，要牺牲一些用户的便利性。例如，输入设备，如键盘和点触设备，在便携式个人电脑中只占有很少的空间，使用起来也更为繁琐。• Optical technology opens the door to new and exciting applications. Already this technology is leading the way to the library of the future. Because the world’s output of knowledge is doubling every four years, the typical library is bursting at the seams with books and other printed materials. With library budgets declining, it may be impractical to continue to build structures to warehouse printed materials. 翻译： 光学技术为新兴的令人兴奋的应用程序敞开大门。这项技术已经引领了通往未来图书库的道路。由于世界的知识产出每四年翻一番，典型的图书馆充斥着书籍和其他印刷品随着图书馆预算的减少，继续建造印刷材料的仓库这一想法可能是不切实际的。

• Not too long ago, people who pursued careers in almost any facet of business, education, or government were content to leave computers to computer professionals. Today these people are knowledge workers. In less than a generation, information technology competency has emerged in virtually any career from a nice to-have skill to a job-critical skill. 翻译： 不久前，从事商业、教育或政府几乎所有方面的事业的人都乐意把计算机留给计算机专业人员。如今这些人都是知识工作者。在不到一代人的时间里，信息技术的能力几乎在任何职业中都有，从良好的技能到关键的技能。 • During face-to-face conversations, we use vocal inflections or body movements that clarify words or phrases. E-mail is just words, leaving the door open for misinterpretation of our intended message. Anyone composing e-mail should be aware that it’s electronic and could be easily forwarded, printed, and even broadcast to others. Broadcasting sensitive information could be very embarrassing to you and to others. 翻译： • To a large extent, the explosion of information made available over the Internet can be attributed to the fact that word processing software lets users save documents in a format compatible with transmission over the Internet’s World Wide Web. Now, anyone with word processing skills can contribute to the wealth of information on the Internet. What you see in a word processing document is essentially what you would see when viewing it as a Web page on an Internet browser.

翻译：在很大程度上，互联网上的信息爆炸可以归因于这样一个事实，即文字处理软件允许用户以与因特网传输兼容的格式保存文档。现在，任何有文字处理技能的人都能丰富互

联网上的信息。你在文字处理文档中看到的本质上就是你在因特网浏览器上查看它作为网页时所看到的东西。
