Hej!
Jeg har fået til opgave at oversætte en dansk tekst (se nedenfor) til engelsk (se helt nederst).
Ville være en stor hjælp hvis nogen måske have lyst til at kigge den igennem og komme med evt. forslag til ændringer eller rettelser?
Dansk tekst (selve opgaven):
Computer skudt af ejer.
Flere og flere mister data fra deres computer, fordi de enten er klodsede eller bliver aggressive over for teknikken. Den britiske internetavis BBC har sammensat en list over årets værste uheld, og det bedste eksempel er en mand, der skød sin bærbare computer i et anfald af raseri. En anden bærbar blev tabt i badekarret, mens ejeren lavede regnskaber.
Lad det være slået fast med det samme: De fleste mister fortsat data, fordi computeren bryder sammen af sig selv. De fleste data kan dog i sådanne tilfæde genskabes. Men computereksperter sporer en stigende tendens til, at vi omgås teknologien enten lemfældigt eller direkte aggressivt, hvilket ofte fører til skæbnesvangre skader. Er computeren først blevet smadret står den ikke til at redde.
Inspireret af den britiske undersøgelse har den danske avis Politiken lavet en tilsvarende læserundersøgelse over danske computeruheld. Konklusionen er, at det er barskt at være især bærbar computer, og de er også yderst udsatte i trafikken. Værst er det gået ud over en bærbar ejet af en af avisens læsere med tendens til at gå i søvne. En nat gik han ind til sin computer, slog skærmen op, som var den et toiletsæde, og forrettede sin nødtørft. Utroligt nok lykkedes det ham at ramme plet. Computeren overlevede på mirakuløs vis. En anden læser, ejer af en bærbar computer og en lille bil, stillede computeren fra sig på jorden, mens han hjalp fire passagerer ind i bilen. Derpå bakkede han én gang hen over sin computer, og mystificeret over bumpet kørte han straks frem igen. Om computeren overlevede den noget hårhændede behandling melder historien intet om.
For landets computerreparatører er det dog ikke de spetakulære uheld, der dominerer. Ifølge én reparatør er det mest almindelige problem, at folk ikke har installeret antivirusprogrammer, og både private og firmaer er stadig skødesløse med hensyn til at lave backup af deres filer.
Engelsk (min oversættelse):
Computer was shot by owner
More and more people lose data from their computer because they either are clumsy or become aggressive about the technology.
The British web-paper BBC has compiled a list of the worst accidents of the year and the best example is a man who shot his laptop in a fit of rage.
Another laptop was dropped in a tub while the owner was keeping accounts.
Let it be made clear at once: Most people still loose their data because the computer breaks down of its own accord. Most data can however under such circumstances be re-created. But experts on computers are noticing an increasing tendency to handle the technology either careless or downright aggressive which often leads to fatal damages. If the computer at once has been smashed, data are irretrievably lost.
Inspired by the British investigation the Danish newspaper Politiken has made a similar readership-investigation of Danish computer accidents.
The conclusion is that it is tough to be especially a laptop, and they are also very exposed in the traffic.
A laptop owned by one of the readers with tendency to walk in his sleep, has suffered the most.
One night he went to his laptop, opened it as if it had been a toilet-soap, and relieved himself. Incredibly as it may sound, he succeeded in hitting the bull’s eye. The computer survived miraculously.
Another reader, owner of a laptop and a little car, leaved the computer on the ground while he was helping four passengers getting into the car. After that he once backed the car across his computer, and mystified by the thud, he immediately drove forward again. Whether the computer survived the quite heavy-handed treatment or not the story does not tell.
According to the country’s computer-repairmen the spectacular accidents are however not dominating.
According to one repairman the most ordinary problem is that people do not have antivirus-programs installed, and both private and firms are still careless as regards making backup of their files.
På forhånd tusind mange gange tak for hjælpen :D
