[03:34.71]但是，如果沒有軟件對它“供應(yīng)必要的指令”，這臺計(jì)算機(jī)就什么不會做，而只不過是占據(jù)一些空間而已。 [03:38.93]Professional Terms [03:40.31]專業(yè)術(shù)語 [03:41.70]accompany vt. [03:44.74]伴隨，陪伴 [03:47.78]documentation n.

[04:03.20]軟件是由一組組相互有關(guān)的程序組成的， [04:06.54]each of which is a group of related instructions that perform very specific processing tasks. [04:11.55]其中的每一個(gè)程序都是一組相關(guān)指令，而每組指令都將執(zhí)行極為特定的處理任務(wù)。 [04:16.57]Software acquired to perform a general business function is often referred to as a software package. [04:21.30]用來執(zhí)行一般商務(wù)功能的軟件通常稱為軟件包。 [04:26.03]Software packages, which are usually created by professional software writers.

[04:37.30]軟件包都帶有文檔，文檔是用來解釋如何使用這個(gè)軟件。 [04:41.39]Software can generally be divided into two categories:(1)systems software and (2)applications software. [04:48.45]軟件一般可分為兩類：（1）系統(tǒng)軟件；（2）應(yīng)用軟件。 [04:55.52]systems software [04:56.98]系統(tǒng)軟件 [04:58.44]Programs designed to allow the computer to manage its own resources are called systems software. [05:03.67]為使計(jì)算機(jī)管理本身資源而設(shè)計(jì)的程序稱為系統(tǒng)軟件。 [05:08.89]This software runs the basic operations; [05:11.32]這種軟件執(zhí)行基本的操作； [05:13.75]it tells the hardware what to do and how and when to do it. [05:17.66]它告訴硬件去做什么，如何做和何時(shí)做。 [05:21.56]Notes [05:22.42]注意事項(xiàng) [05:23.29]This software runs the basic operation; it tells the hardware what to do and how and when to do it. [05:28.86]這類軟件執(zhí)行計(jì)算機(jī)的一些基本操作；它告訴硬件要作些什么，如何做以及什么時(shí)候做。 [05:34.44]However, it does not solve specific problems relating to a business or a profession. [05:38.49]但是它不解決有關(guān)某個(gè)工商企業(yè)或某個(gè)專業(yè)的特定問題。 [05:42.54]For example, systems software will not process a prediction of what your company's tax bill will be next year. [05:48.57]比如，系統(tǒng)軟件不會對貴公司明年的稅單進(jìn)行預(yù)測， [05:54.61]but it will tell the computer where to store the data used during processing. [05:59.26]但是它將告訴計(jì)算機(jī)在數(shù)據(jù)處理過程中，所用的數(shù)據(jù)該放在何處。 [06:03.91]systems software will not process the creation of the animation strip for your next film, [06:08.74]系統(tǒng)軟件也不會去處理有關(guān)你的下一部電影動畫片的創(chuàng)作， [06:13.57]but it will manage how it is output. [06:16.13]但它將管理動畫片如何輸出。 [06:18.69]Professional Terms [06:20.05]專業(yè)術(shù)語 [06:21.41]budget n. [06:23.05]預(yù)算 [06:24.70]calculate v. [06:26.59]計(jì)算，推測 [06:28.49]poultry n.

[06:51.40]為了滿足某一用戶具體需要而設(shè)計(jì)的，由計(jì)算機(jī)執(zhí)行的任何一些指令或一些相互關(guān)聯(lián)的軟件的總合，均稱為應(yīng)用軟件。 [06:59.31]A group of programs written to perform payroll processing is one type of applications softwre. [07:04.68]為完成工資單的數(shù)據(jù)處理而編寫的一套程序就屬于應(yīng)用軟件的一種。 [07:10.05]as are programs written to maintain personnel records, update an inventory system, help you calculate a budge. [07:15.84]還有那些專為保管個(gè)人檔案資料、用來不斷更新庫存系統(tǒng)、協(xié)助你做預(yù)算， [07:21.62]or monitor the incubation temperatures at your poultry farm. [07:24.57]或者監(jiān)控家禽養(yǎng)殖孵化溫度等而編寫的程序，也都是應(yīng)用軟件。 [07:27.52]Applications software can be purchased "off the shelf". or written. [07:30.97]應(yīng)用軟件可以購買市場上現(xiàn)成的， [07:34.42]or it can be written to order by qualified programmers. [07:37.23]也可預(yù)先約請合格的程序編寫人員編寫。 [07:40.04]If for example, a company's payroll processing requirements are fairly routine. [07:44.13]例如，如果某一個(gè)公司工資單的數(shù)據(jù)處理要求相當(dāng)平常， [07:48.21]it can probably purchase one or more payroll applications software programs off the shelf to handle the job. [07:53.09]那就可以買一個(gè)或多個(gè)市場上流行的工資單應(yīng)用軟件程序，來完成這項(xiàng)工作。 [07:57.96]However, if a company has unique payroll requirements, [08:00.88]但是，如果某個(gè)公司有獨(dú)特的工資單要求， [08:03.81]such as a need to handle the records of hourly employees, salaried employees, and commissioned employees, [08:08.96]例如它需要計(jì)算小時(shí)工的、一般工薪人員的和委任的官員們的工資單， [08:14.10]the off-the-shelf software may not be satisfactory. [08:17.52]那么，市場上流行的軟件就不能滿足這些要求。 [08:20.95]It may be more cost-effective to have the payroll programs written to exact specifictions. [08:26.31]這時(shí)，約請專人編寫合乎確切要求的工資單程序所花的費(fèi)用， [08:31.68]than to try to modify off-the-shelf programs to do something they were never intended to do., [08:35.63]就可能會比通過現(xiàn)行程序，而使它能勝任過去從未做過的事，要更便宜一些。
