hi everybody my name is Alisha in this

lesson I'm going to talk about some

computer related phrases that we use in

English let's get started ok I want to

begin with an important word this word

can be used as a verb and as a noun it

is - crash - crash one point here when

you're using this word in speech make

sure this a sound is clearly pronounced

as an ass sound - crash if you don't use

this properly this a sound it could

sound like crush I've heard some

learners do that so make sure this is an

add sound to crash so to crash means to

stop working completely completely means

100% when your computer crashes it stops

you cannot use it for usually a short

period of time in an example sentence my

computer crashes every time I open this

program my computer crashes so this is a

regular verb which means we can add s to

the end my computer crashes every time I

open this program so that s sound is

added because my subject is my computer

it so it crashes every time I open this

program ok let's move on to the next one

the next word is quite similar to freeze

  • freeze we use this as a verb when

we're talking about computers and as

well when we're not talking about

computers - but - freeze - freeze is a

little bit different from - crash -

freeze means to stop working yes but

this is often used for one program so

maybe your computer like your operating

system Mac or PC

for example maybe that's okay it's still

usable but one program stops working so

for example word stopped working

or maybe Photoshop stopped working we

use the verb freeze to talk about that

or if your computer stops working but it

doesn't crash completely like it doesn't

turn off as we'll talk about later you

can use freeze to mean like you can't

move your mouse you can't move the

cursor or you just can't type anything

so to freeze can be for a program or for

a computer that just it doesn't actually

respond to your requests anymore in an

example sentence word froze when I tried

to save my essay so freeze the past

tense is froze froze word froze when I

tried to save my essay so word is a

program and that means this program only

this program froze or stopped working

when the speaker tried to save their

essay so freeze becomes frozen past

tense okay let's move along to the next

one the next one I included two words

here because they're used fairly

similarly they are glitchy glitchy and

buggy buggy if you do programming or are

familiar with like computer related

problems I suppose maybe you see bug is

here in this word bug so bug means

problem like a problem in code for

example so glitchy or buggy these are

adjectives that we use to mean having

lots of errors so this is typically used

in an application or software also in

games anything that's like a user

experience situation it could be a

website as well something is glitchy or

something is buggy it means that that

thing has lots of errors we often use

this to talk about problems we can see

with our eyes so for example if the

picture is like disorganized or if

you're playing a video game for example

and like the character can walk into

walls or get stuck in the floor

somewhere we can say it's glitchy or

it's buggy so there are some kind of

strange air

that we see in a piece of media or in

like software or applications for

example this beta application is super

glitchy this beta application is super

glitchy I'm going to talk about this

beta word next so this application is

super glitchy meaning it has lots and

lots of errors okay so let's continue on

to this next word so the next word is

beta beta so beta and you might see beta

version so beta a beta thing a beta

program or a beta application as I used

in this example sentence is a test

version of something so like I write

here a program or an application usually

so a beta version of something might

have lots of glitches if we use it as a

noun or it might be super glitchy

because it's a test application so if

you have tested an application or a

piece of software maybe you noticed some

problems and you can say oh this is

glitchy or this is buggy so a beta

something is a test something okay let's

move along the next one I want to look

at let's look at the next two in a pair

the first one is to be infected to be

infected we use this for people as well

when we get sick virus is the next one

this is a pronounciation point I think

this has a good one this V I sound is

pronounced by virus virus I sometimes

heard students use like a W sound here

it should be a clear sound virus a virus

so to be infected and virus these are

words we use for our health as well a

virus is a type of sickness a type of

illness so we actually keep this meaning

but we use it for computers so to be

infected means to have a virus or spam

where I'll talk about this in just a

moment to have a virus or spam where on

your computer so it's installed on your

computer or there's something that's

wrong with your computer because of a

virus or something similar a virus then

is a harmful computer program so harmful

means like dangerous or bad or causes

problems a virus so a virus for example

could install strange things on your

computer a virus could steal information

from your computer a virus could maybe

spy on someone I'm not sure but a virus

is harmful in some way so when we use

these in sentences we might say

something like my grandma's computer was

infected with eight viruses so here

you'll notice when we use this verb

infected it was infected with eight

viruses we used with to connect it we

also use this same pattern when we're

talking about people's health conditions

I was infected with this virus or I was

infected with this disease we use with

so my grandma's computer was infected

with eight viruses so this is the plural

form viruses viruses so that means there

were eight harmful programs or eight

harmful pieces of software or something

on my grandma's computer ok let's move

along then the next one I mentioned in

the previous explanation spam where spam

where spam where is an interesting

combination of words spam where comes

from spam and software together so spam

means like junk stuff we don't need I

think everyone has a spam email inbox so

this is like advertisements or like

strange emails from mysterious people so

spam is that stuff we don't need that

unnecessary junk so spam and software

equals spam where so spam where is

software that adds spam to a computer or

it's just software that's kind of junk

that we don't need so let's look at a

common way that

use spam we're in a sentence this one my

computer had a lot of spam we're

pre-installed pre-installed means before

like before I received it pre-installed

this case in this case it means when I

received my new computer there was a lot

of spam where installed that means there

was a lot of junk software on my

computer already when I got it so spam

where is just junk software that we

don't need it's not necessarily

dangerous so this is a point that's a

bit different from a virus a virus is

kind of dangerous or harmful in some way

in most cases spam where it's just junk

it takes space on your computer so spam

where and virus are a little bit

different ok onward to the next one the

next expression here is to give an error

or to give an error message this just

means to display an error message but we

use give because it's like the computer

is giving us something so we use give to

talk about these sorts of irritating

messages we get from our computer an

example my printer keeps giving me an

error so here I'm using it in the

progressive tense because I'm

complaining my computer keeps giving me

an error I could remove me my computer

I'm sorry my printer keeps giving an

error I can include me here to show I am

the one that's receiving this error but

we use give to mean display display

would not cause a communication problem

but it does sound a little too formal it

sounds kind of polite it's something we

would use maybe in text like in a manual

for a computer but when we're just

talking about computer problems we often

use give it's giving me an error ok

onward let's look at the next to the

next to these are unique to your

computer type to your operating system

type the first one is unique to Mac

computers so the expression there are a

couple of them

refer to this I try to draw it here this

thing so if you're a Mac user maybe you

see something similar to this with very

bright colors this one is dark like pink

green blue so this thing often appears

when you are waiting for something and

sometimes it goes for a long time in

this spinning motion this is called a

couple things depending on who you talk

to

some people call it the spinning

pinwheel so a pinwheel is a children's

toy that looks similar to this or some

people call it the spinning beach ball

so a beach ball is a popular a popular

toy to take to the beach that's brightly

colored and looks similar so some people

call it the spinning pinwheel of death

I'll explain why or the spinning beach

ball

of death so this def here death mean

refers to dying

this means your computer's death so this

expression is used to refer to the

brightly colored waiting symbol that may

appear before a crash so remember I

talked about crash at the beginning of

this lesson it means when your computer

stops working completely here I've used

it as a noun so before your computer

crashes you might see a spinning

pinwheel of death or a spinning beach

ball of death keep in mind this is not

an official phrase this is just the

expression that lots of people have come

to use over time so it sounds a little

bit like a joke it's not a real like

official statement from Mac or anything

but this is a common expression used to

explain like a situation on your

computer so similarly PCs have this one

so again I've tried to draw it here it's

not great but we call it on PCs the blue

screen of death the blue screen of death

so if you're working on your computer

suddenly the screen turns blue and

there's often a quick like error message

or something displayed here in white

characters so this is called the blue

screen of death some

times you may see it called the BS OD so

we use this like as a phrase like oh no

the blue screen of death we also use

this as a verb so some example sentences

let's take a look first Oh No I've got

the beach ball of death so this is one

example of how you could use either or

this one my computer blue screen so here

we're treating this as a verb my

computer blue screen so it's not really

a verb but the speaker creates a new

verb by adding this edy ending which

shows us it's past tense oh no my can

put my computer blue screened which

means it crashed and I got this error so

these are a couple kind of fun and

interesting ways to talk about problems

with your computer the final expression

for today is actually a question a

useful question especially when you're

traveling it is what's your Wi-Fi

password what's your Wi-Fi password so

what's your Wi-Fi password is great to

use when you are traveling and you visit

cafes restaurants bars whatever and you

would like to use their Wi-Fi you can

use it at friends houses as well so you

want to connect to Wi-Fi what's your

Wi-Fi password this is the question you

use to to ask for them what's your Wi-Fi

password or can I have your Wi-Fi

password as well okay so this is a quick

list of some computer related

expressions that you can use I hope that

that helps you explain often these well

actually most of these are used for

computer problems but I hope that that's

helpful for you of course if you have

想从第一课开始说真正的英语

在英语课 101.com 注册您的免费终身帐户

大家好,我的名字是 Alisha 在这

节课中我将讨论一些

我们在英语中使用的与计算机相关的短语

让我们开始吧 我想

从一个重要的词开始,这个词

可以用作动词,也可以用作

名词 - 崩溃 - 当

你在演讲中使用这个词时,请

确保这个声音清楚地发音

为屁股声音 - 如果你没有正确使用这个,就会崩溃,

这听起来可能

听起来像粉碎我听说一些

学习者这样做,所以请确保这是一个

添加声音到崩溃,所以崩溃意味着

完全停止工作意味着

100% 当你 计算机崩溃它会停止

你不能在短时间内使用它

在一个例句中 我的

计算机每次打开这个

程序时都会崩溃 我的计算机崩溃了所以这是一个

常规动词 这意味着我们可以

在末尾添加 s 时间我

打开这个程序,以便添加声音,

因为我的主题是我的计算机

,所以每次我打开这个程序时它都会崩溃

好的,让我们继续下

一个,下一个词与 freeze

  • freeze 我们使用它作为动词时

我们谈论的是计算机,

当我们不谈论计算机时也是如此

  • 但是 - freeze -

freeze 与 - crash -

freeze 意味着停止工作是的,

但这通常用于一个程序,所以

也许你的计算机 比如你的

操作系统 Mac 或

PC 可能没关系,它仍然

可以使用,但是一个程序停止工作

,例如 word 停止工作,

或者 Photoshop 停止工作,我们

使用动词 freeze 来谈论它,

或者如果你的计算机停止工作,但它

没有 不要完全崩溃,就像它没有

关闭一样,我们稍后会讨论你

可以使用冻结来表示你不能

移动鼠标你不能移动

光标或者你不能输入任何东西

所以冻结可以 是为了一个程序或 对于

一台计算机,它实际上

不再响应您的请求在

例句中 word froze when I want

to save my essay so freeze 过去

时是froze froze wordfroze when I

try to save my essay so word is a

program 这意味着这个程序只有

当演讲者试图保存他们的文章时,这个程序冻结或停止工作,

所以冻结变成冻结过去

时好的,让我们继续下

一个,下一个我在这里包括两个词

,因为它们的用法非常

相似

如果您进行编程或

熟悉类似计算机相关的

问题,那么是故障故障和故障故障我想也许您会

在这个词中看到故障错误所以故障意味着

像代码中的问题这样的问题

例如如此故障或故障这些

是我们的形容词 用于表示有

很多错误,因此这通常

用于应用程序或软件中,也用于

游戏中任何类似于用户

体验的情况它可能是网站也可能是

一些东西 有故障或

有问题,这意味着那个

东西有很多错误我们经常用

它来谈论我们可以用眼睛看到的问题

,例如,如果

图片像杂乱无章,或者如果

你正在玩电子游戏,例如

和 就像角色可以走进

墙壁或卡在地板上的

某个地方,我们可以说它有故障或有问题

,所以

我们在媒体或类似软件或应用程序中看到了某种奇怪的空气,

例如这个 beta 应用程序是 超级

故障 这个测试版应用程序超级

故障 我接下来要讨论这个

测试版单词 所以这个应用程序

超级故障 这意味着它有很多

很多错误 好的 所以让我们

继续下一个单词 所以下一个单词是

beta beta 所以 beta,你可能会看到 beta

版本,所以 beta 一个 beta 的东西

,我在这个例句中使用的 beta 程序或 beta 应用程序

是某个东西的测试

版本,所以就像我

在这里写一个程序或应用程序通常

这样 如果我们将某物的 beta 版本

用作名词,它可能会出现很多故障,

或者它可能是超级故障,

因为它是一个测试应用程序,所以如果

你测试了一个应用程序或一个

软件,也许你注意到了一些

问题,你可以说哦,这个 有

故障或这是错误的,所以一个测试版

是一个测试,好的

让我们继续下一个

以及

当我们生病时,病毒是下一个,

这是一个发音点我认为

这是一个很好的发音点这个VI声音是

由病毒病毒发出的,我有时

听到学生使用像W的声音,

这里应该是一个清晰的声音病毒病毒

所以被感染和病毒这些是

我们用来表示我们的健康的词,

病毒是一种疾病,一种

疾病,所以我们实际上保留了这个意思,

但我们将它用于计算机,所以被

感染意味着有病毒或垃圾邮件

我会在哪里谈论 很快就会

在您的计算机上出现病毒或垃圾邮件,

因此它已安装在您的

计算机上,或者

您的计算机由于

病毒或类似病毒而出现问题,然后

是有害的计算机程序,因此有害

意味着危险 或坏的或导致

问题 病毒因此例如

病毒可能会在您的计算机上安装奇怪的东西 病毒可能会

从您的计算机中窃取信息 病毒可能会

监视某人我不确定但病毒

在某些方面是有害的所以当我们

在句子中使用这些,我们可能会

说我奶奶的电脑

感染了八种病毒,所以在这里

你会注意到,当我们使用这个动词

感染时,它感染了八种

病毒,我们用来连接它时,

我们也使用相同的模式。 重新

谈论人们的健康状况

我感染了这种病毒,或者我

感染了我们使用的这种疾病,

所以我奶奶的电脑感染

了八种病毒,所以这是 复数

形式的病毒 病毒,这意味着我奶奶的电脑上

有八个有害程序或八个

有害软件或其他东西

好的,让我们继续

前进,然后我

在前面的解释中提到的下一个垃圾邮件哪里垃圾邮件

哪里垃圾邮件哪里是一个有趣

的单词组合 垃圾邮件

来自垃圾邮件和软件,所以垃圾邮件

意味着

我们不需要的垃圾邮件

不必要的垃圾,所以垃圾邮件和软件

等于垃圾邮件 where so spam 哪里是

向计算机添加垃圾邮件

的软件,或者它只是一种我们不需要的垃圾软件,

所以让我们看看

使用垃圾邮件的常见方式我们在一个句子中 这台我的

电脑有很多垃圾邮件 我们

预装了 预装的意思

就像我收到它之前一样 预装了

这种情况 在这种情况下,这意味着当我

收到我的新电脑时 呃

,安装了很多垃圾邮件,这意味着当我收到它时

,我的计算机上已经有很多垃圾软件

了所以垃圾邮件

只是我们

不需要的垃圾软件它不一定很

危险,所以这是一个重点

与病毒有点不同,

在大多数情况下,病毒在某种程度上是危险或有害

的 是给出一个错误

或给出一个错误消息这只是

意味着显示一个错误消息但我们

使用give是因为它就像计算机

正在给我们一些东西所以我们使用give来

谈论

我们从计算机获得的这些令人讨厌的信息

例如,我的打印机一直给我一个

错误,所以在这里我以

进行时态使用它,因为我在

抱怨我的计算机一直给我

一个错误我可以删除我的计算机

我很抱歉我的打印机一直给

我一个错误我可以 将我包括在此处以

表明我是收到此错误的人,但

我们使用 give 表示显示显示

不会导致沟通问题,

但听起来确实有点过于正式,

听起来有点礼貌,我们

可能会在文本中使用,例如 in 一本

计算机手册,但是当我们只是

谈论我们经常使用的计算机问题时,

它给了我一个错误,

好的,让我们看看

下一个,这些是您的计算机类型所独有的,

对于您的操作系统

类型是第一个 是 Mac 电脑独有的,

所以其中有几个表达是

指这个我试着在这里画这个

东西,所以如果你是 Mac 用户,也许你会

看到类似的东西,

颜色非常鲜艳,这个是暗的,像粉红色

绿色 蓝色 所以这个东西经常

在你等待某事时出现,

有时它会在

这个旋转运动中持续很长时间 这被称为

几件事,取决于你和谁交谈

有些人称之为旋转

pi nwheel 所以风车是一种儿童

玩具,看起来与此相似,或者有些

人称之为旋转沙滩球,

所以沙滩球是一种流行的流行

玩具,可以带到海滩上,颜色

鲜艳,看起来很相似,所以有些人

称之为旋转 死亡风车

我会解释为什么或者死亡的旋转沙滩

所以这里的 def 死亡意思

是指死亡

这意味着你的计算机的死亡所以这个

表达是用来指在崩溃之前

可能出现的颜色鲜艳的等待符号

所以记住 我

在本课开始时谈到了崩溃,

这意味着当您的计算机

在这里完全停止工作时,我将

其用作名词,因此在您的计算机崩溃之前,

您可能会看到旋转

的死亡风车或旋转

的死亡沙滩球 这

不是官方用语 这只是

随着时间的推移很多人开始使用的表达方式,所以听起来

有点像一个笑话它不是真正

的 Mac 或官方声明

除了这是一个常用的表达方式,用于

解释你的计算机上的情况,

所以类似的 PC 也有这个,

所以我再次尝试在这里画它,它

不是很好,但我们在 PC 上称它为

蓝屏死机蓝屏 死亡,

所以如果你在你的电脑上工作

突然屏幕变蓝,并且

经常有一个快速的错误消息

或以白色字符显示的东西,

所以这被称为

蓝屏死机,

有时你可能会看到它被称为 BS OD 所以

我们用这个 like 作为短语,比如 oh no

the blue screen of death 我们也用

这个作为动词 所以一些例句

让我们先来看看 Oh No I've got

the beach ball of death 所以这是

你如何做的一个例子 可以使用

我的电脑蓝屏中的一个或这个,所以在这里

我们将其视为动词,我的

电脑蓝屏,所以它不是真正

的动词,但说话者

通过添加这个 edy 结尾来创建一个新动词,它

向我们展示了它的过去时态哦不 我可以

把我的电脑 蓝屏,这

意味着它崩溃了,我收到了这个错误,所以

这些是

谈论计算机问题的几种有趣和有趣的方式

今天的最终表达实际上是一个问题,一个

有用的问题,特别是当你在

旅行时它是什么 您的 Wi-Fi

密码 您的 Wi-Fi 密码是

多少所以您的 Wi-Fi 密码是什么 非常适合

您在旅行时使用 去

咖啡馆 餐厅 酒吧 无论您

想使用他们的 Wi-Fi 您可以

在朋友家使用它 以及,所以你

想连接到 Wi-Fi 你的

Wi-Fi 密码是什么,这是你

用来询问他们你的 Wi-Fi 密码是什么的问题,

或者我可以知道你的 Wi-Fi

密码吗? 您可以使用

的一些与计算机相关的

表达式的快速列表我希望这

可以帮助您经常解释

这些实际上大多数用于

计算机问题,但我希望这
