Common Problems with Office Equipment
办公设备常见问题
Offices have two major pieces of equipment, computers and copy machines. Computers are probably the most useful; they can make work much easier. Without computers things would be much harder to do (and I wouldn’t have a job.)
办公室设备常见问题办公室一般都有两种主要的设备：电脑和复印机。电脑可能是最有用的。它们可以使工作变得更简单。没有电脑，事情会变得很困难。（而我也会失业）
1) One of the biggest and most common problems with computers is when they crash. When this happens, you often lose whatever you are working on. This can be a big problem. (Also, if your computer crashes, that mean you can’t read our newsletter
1) 对于电脑来说，最常见和最大的问题是电脑死机问题。电脑死机时，你经常会丢失正在做的文件。这可真是个大问题。（这也意味着如果你的电脑死机了，你就无法读到我们的英语杂志了。）
2) Another problem is when the program you are using has a bug. This is also a very common problem. Many programs have bugs in them; one example is Windows. When a program has a bug, it stops working for no reason at all. You also usually lose all of your work when this happens.
2) 电脑的另一个常见问题是你所使用的程序有问题，这也是一个常见问题。当程序有问题时，电脑会在没有任何原因的情况下突然停止工作。发生这种情况时，你通常也会丢掉正在处理的东西。.)
3) Copiers are much simpler machines. They usually don’t have any problems besides running out of paper. But sometimes they go down and you have to call a repairman to fix them.

Ⅲ.课文篇
Bad Things That Can Happen at a Company
对于一个公司来说可能发生的糟糕的事情。
1) The worst thing that can happen to a company is bankruptcy. That is when the company loses all of its money and has to close its doors.
1) 对于一个公司来说，能够发生的最糟糕的事是破产。公司破产的时候就是公司的钱已经空了，不得不关门大吉的时候。
2) Another tragic, but common event is being deep in debt. After borrowing money, you must pay back the loan. However, if you don’t have the money, you will have to borrow money from person B to pay back person A. This situation sends you deeper in debt.
2) 另外一件悲惨的事情、但是很常见的事是公司陷入债务的泥潭中无法拔出来。在你借钱后就要面临归还贷款的那一天。然而当你没有足够的钱还款的时候，你就得从B某人那里借钱用来还欠的A某人的钱。这种环环相扣的借钱还钱的状况会使你的财政状况变得更糟。
3) Having a huge surplus of goods can also be a bad thing. Most businesses work on a supply and demand system. If there is less of a product, you can sell it for a higher price. If there is too much of a product, you must sell it for less, thus losing money.
3) 储存大量的产品货物也是一件糟糕的事情。大多数的商务工作都是基于一种供求体系。如果市场上的某一种货物稀少，你就可以出高一些的价钱来出售。如果市场上某种货物的供应很多，那么你就需要以相对低的价格把货物卖出去，这样一来你得到的钱就少了一些。

Gordon: I am sorry to hear that. But didn’t you say you had a surplus of your products?
戈登：很抱歉听到这个消息。可是我记得你说过你的库房里有很多积压的产品。
Molly: Our surplus is hurting sales. Everyone already has one. No one is buying our products now.
莫莉：我们的积压产品对销售有百害而无一利。每个人都已经有了我们的产品，现在没人再买我们的产品了。
Gordon: That sounds bad, real bad. Aren’t you afraid of going bankrupt?
戈登：那听上去太糟糕了，真的太糟糕了。难道你不害怕破产吗？
Molly: You hit the nail on the head. We are worried.
莫莉：你说到了我的痛处。我们现在很担心这一点。
Gordon: I am sorry to hear that.Let me know if you need a new job.
戈登：我很抱歉听到这个消息。如果你需要找到一份新工作的话，请告诉我。
Molly: I have no plans of being unemployed. However, it may happen if we go broke.
