7、据和指令，执行处理数据的指令并输出相应的结果。计算机自身没有智能，称之为硬件，硬件仅指物理设备。,Sentences 1,1. A computer is a device capable of receiving both data and instructions, executing the instructions on the data and giving the output accordingly. By itself, a computer has no intelligence and is referred to as hardware, which means simply the physical equipment,偶尔，输入设备、输出设备和辅助存储器被称为外设。说明它们和计算机处理器一起运行，并由计算机控制。,Sentences 2,2. Occasionally, input, output, and secondary storage devices are called peripheral devices to reflect the fact t

8、hat they are added onto the computer processor and controlled by the computer.,从计算机的运作方式看，它们就像接口，把我们日常使用的符号转化成CPU能处理的二进制形式：它们也能轻松地将二进制转化成我们能读懂的输出形式。输入设备可以象键盘一样简单，也可以象如识别语音或图像的专门应用设备那样复杂。,Sentences 3,3. In computing parlance, they act as an interface, translating the familiar symbols which we can read into the binary patterns that can be handled electronically within the CPU: they then translate the patterns back again for easily readable output An input device can be as simple as the keyboard or

9、 as sophisticated as those used for specialized application such as voice or retinal recognition devices.,Sentences 4,4. The function of secondary storage hardware is to store software and data in a form that is relatively permanent, or nonvolatile that is, the data is not lost when the power is turned off and easy to retrieve when needed for processing.,辅助存储器用来存储软件和数据，存储的数据相对来说是固定不变的，也就是说当关闭电源时，数据不会丢失，而且数据需要处理时易于提取。,Sentences 5,5. In any computer, system software availability is a major factor in deciding the complexity of the application software that can be built for it, as it is the system software that determines the limits to which the computer can be taken.,对于任何的计算机，因为系统软件决定了计算机的功能范围，所以系统软件的性能是决定基于它建立的应用软件复杂度的主要因素（应用软件是否复杂主要取决于系统软件的性能）。,Sentences 6,6. The analog computers do not directly interact with numbers, but rather deal with variables measured along a continuous scale, like the temperature o
