46 专业英语阅读 The active (state-machine) replication protocol has been one of the commonly adopted approaches to provide fault tolerant data services 主动复制是提供数据容错服务的常用方式 In such a scheme, service state is replicated at all participating servers and client requests are presented to all the servers 在此种模式下，所有参与服务器具有同样的服务状态，用户请求则同时提交给所有服务器

47 专业英语阅读 A strict consensus protocol executed by the servers ensures that all servers receive all the requests in the same order. The output of each request from all the servers are then compared to mask the result of faulty server(s) 所有服务器均执行一个严格的合意协议来确保每个服务器均以同样的顺序收到服务请求。通过对所有服务器的结果进行比较，选出正确结果，从而屏蔽掉失效服务器。

48 专业英语阅读 Software reliability is becoming increasingly important in today’s information era. Many techniques have been proposed to improve software reliability with varying degrees of success 软件可靠性在今天的信息时代愈发变得重要。到目前为止人们提出了许多技术来改善软件可靠性，并取得了程度不同的成功。

49 专业英语阅读 One important technique in this regard is the so-called formal methods which include formal verification, formal specification, formal analysis, and formal modeling 这方面理的一种重要技术是所谓的形式化方法。形式化方法包括形式化验证、形式化规范、形式化分析、和形式化建模

50 专业英语阅读 While these formal methods cover many phases of the software development process, the transformation of software requirement into formal representation is still done by manual labor, which we believe to be a weak link 虽然这些形式化方法覆盖了软件开发过程中的许多阶段，但将软件需求转换为形式化表示的过程依然是手工操作，而这是一个脆弱的环节

51 专业英语阅读 The Economists' Voice is a nonpartisan forum for economists to present innovative policy ideas and engaging commentary on the issues of the day. 《经济学家之音》是一个非党派论坛。经济学家们在该论坛上发表自己有创意的政策主张并对时代关心的问题进行讨论。

52 专业英语阅读 Articles are short, words, and intended to contain deeper analysis than is found on the Op-Ed page of the Wall Street Journal or New York Times, but to be of comparable general interest 文章篇幅要求简短，600－2000字，对事情的分析要求深刻到位，而不能像《华尔街日报》或《纽约时报》Op－Ed页面里的那些分析。内容本身则要求能对一般大众有吸引力。

53 专业英语阅读 Data Engineering deals with the use of engineering techniques and methodologies in the design, development and assessment of information systems for different computing platforms and application environments

54 专业英语阅读 Computer may be an artifact, but human technical advances in computing is (or should be if that is better) based on the understanding of nature, its structure, properties, and things living in it. Many naturally existed structure or phenomena can be used to model the computing world and bring about better or more efficient solutions to some of the long existed problems faced by computer scientists and engineers world-wide

55 专业英语阅读 Bigger screens aren’t the only culprits for TV’s growing energy draw. The nation’s move to high-definition TV, or HDTV, requires sets to deliver more picture clarity, which draws more power. 大屏幕并不是电视耗电量增加的唯一罪魁祸首。当前的高清晰度电视或HDTV趋势要求电视机的画面质量更加清晰，而这将导致能耗的增加。

56 专业英语阅读 道路使用收费系统有望解决严重的交通问题，诸如不断增加的交通流量以及日渐提高的汽车引擎燃油效率。
Charging for road use has the potential to tackle tough transport challenges, such as growing traffic volumes and the increasing fuel efficiency of vehicle engines.

59 专业英语阅读 The Emtriva case may sound like yet another innovation in an unending stream of medical miracles, from “smart drugs” to gene therapy. But believe it or not, it’s an example of a profound system failure.

60 专业英语阅读 For a century or more, the white-hot core of American innovation has been basic science. And the foundation of basic science has been the fluid exchange of ideas at the nation’s research universities. It has always been a surprisingly simple equation: Let scientists do their thing and share their work-and industry picks up the spoils. Academics win awards, companies make products, Americans benefit from en ever-rising standard of living.

61 专业英语阅读 I only invest in companies which are responsible and have social consciousness. Three years ago I knew that Haliburton stock would greatly increase but I refused to buy it because I am ethical and moral. Haliburton stock was at an intraday low of 8.62 in August 2003 and it has since increased to above $85 dollars. Yes, I could have made a killing, but I will not make money off of the deaths of innocent people. I will not make money off of our dead soldiers who are only in Iraq to defend corporate financial interests.

62 专业英语阅读 I knew that because Dick Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton that billions would be funneled from our treasury to Halliburton's coffers. Cheney was the Sec of Defense under the first Bush. He left government to immediately become a CEO, even though he had no experience as a corporate executive or in the oil industry. The only experience Cheney had in oil was having his driver pull his limo into a full service gas station and having it filled up. The ONLY reason Cheney was hired as Halliburton's CEO was for his government connections.

63 专业英语阅读 And those connections have been worth 164 BILLION DOLLARS to Halliburton so far. I am not a democrat but can you imagine what republicans would be saying if Gore had left a company to become Vice President and then have that company make billions off of a war Clinton and Gore started? My god!!! Republicans would be screaming 24 hours a day calling them corrupt. But there hasn't been one republican denouncing the corrupt Bush Regime, not one. Republicans are the most hypocritical, non-thinking, morons on the planet. They are void of any ethical, moral or social thought

64 专业英语阅读 Greed is a trait that gets re-enforced by natural selection. He who has the most survives the toughest times to make more greedy offspring

65 专业英语写作 Writing is part of most careers

66 专业英语写作 The technical graduate entering industry today will, in all probability, spend a portion of his or her career explaining technology to lawyers-some friendly and some not-to consumers, to legislator or judges, to bureaucrats, to environmentalists and to representatives of the press (Florman)

67 专业英语写作 Write clearly and concisely is important!

68 专业英语写作 A written report is often the only record which s made of results that have come out of years of thought and effort. It is used to judge the value of the person’s work and serves as the foundation for all future action on the project If it is written clearly and precisely, it is accepted as the result of sound reasoning and careful observation. If it is poorly written, the results presented in it are placed in a bad light and are often dismissed as the work of a careless or incompetent worker

69 专业英语写作 Technical writing serves practical needs Poetry or fiction:
Appeal primarily to our imagination Entertain, suspend, move emotions Invites differing interpretation Technical writing: Seeks clarity Avoids entertainment, suspense, emotions

70 专业英语写作 Technical writing must be reader oriented
Consider the following segment: Computers are not a particularly forgiving breed. The wrong key struck or the wrong command typed is almost sure to avenge itself on the inattentive user by banishing the document to some electronic trash can

71 专业英语写作 Is the above segment technical writing? No.
Because it focuses on the writer’s feelings It communicates a good deal about the writer’s resentment and anxiety but very little about computers themselves

72 专业英语写作 Now consider this segment:
…the BREAK key is adjacent to keys used for text editing and special functions. Too often, users inadvertently strike the BREAK key, causing the program to quit prematurely. To prevent the problem, we have modified all database management terminals: to quit a program, you must now strike BREAK twice successively

73 专业英语写作 Is the above segment technical writing?
Yes. Because it focuses on the subject It focuses on what the writer has done, and on what the reader should do It does not show any emotion of the authors

74 专业英语写作 2. technical writing strives for efficiency Remember:
Professors read to see what we know Customers read to see what they can use Workplace readers hate waste and demand efficiency The want ONLY as much as they need

75 专业英语写作 Consider the example:
At this point in time, we are presently awaiting an on-site inspection by vendor representatives relative to electrical utilization adaptations necessary for the new computer installation. Meanwhile, all staff are asked to respect the off-limits designation of said location, as requested, due to liability insurance provisions requiring the on-line status of the computer

76 专业英语写作 The previous segment is very hard to work through and understand. It is too easily misinterpreted It wastes time and money

77 专业英语写作 Now consider the following revision:
Hardware consultants soon will inspect our new computer room in order to recommend appropriate wiring. Because our insurance covers only an operational computer, this room must remain off limits until the computer is fully installed

78 专业英语写作 Look at the following paragraph:
In an effort to manage the efficient providing of IT services with guaranteed quality, we propose a generic approach for introducing process modeling and analysis technology into IT Service Management (ITSM). Our approach consists of five steps: identify core processes in ITSM, establish the scope of applicability, define the processes using the Flex language, execute and automate processes, analyze processes based on static process model and dynamic process data, and find improvement opportunity. We illustrate our approach by apply it to an IT incident management process of a bank

79 专业英语写作 Look at the revision:
We propose a generic approach for introducing process modeling and analysis technology into IT Service Management (ITSM) to facilitate management of efficient IT services with guaranteed quality. Our approach consists of six steps: identifying core processes in ITSM, establishing the scope of applicability, defining the processes using the Flex language, executing/automating the processes, analyzing the processes based on a static process model, and finding improvement opportunity. We illustrate our approach by applying it to a bank’s IT incident management process

80 专业英语写作 Compare: This paper describes how process technology can support IT service management. The process modeling, analysis and automation technologies have proven to be an important aspect of ITSM. They led to increased understanding of the process by participants and managers; and they formed the basis for service process improvement. With: This paper describes how process technology can be used to support IT service management. Technologies such as process modeling, analysis, and automation have proven to be an important part of ITSM. These technologies form the basis for service process improvement and their deployment often leads to increased understanding of the process by managers and participants.

81 专业英语写作 Look at this paragraph:
In our view, there are several additional efforts that would be highly beneficial to the application of software process technology. One is to customize Flex/BM language for reflecting features of ITSM. Another valuable contribution would be to apply process technology in other modern service domains, such as logistics and telecommunication. We look forward to carrying out these future work and contributing to the maturation of ubiquitous process engineering as a technique for aiding in the growth of modern service industry

82 专业英语写作 Look at the revision:
Moreover, measures can be taken to gain additional benefits from the application of software process technology. One such measure is to customize Flex/BM language to reflect features of ITSM. Another measure would be to apply process technology to other modern service domains such as logistics and telecommunication. We look forward to carrying out these future works and playing our part in contributing to the maturation of ubiquitous process engineering as a technique in facilitating growth of the modern service industry

83 专业英语写作 Red Hat's PR department tried to put a good spin on the Microsoft-Novell pact: "It's fantastic news. Two of the main tech companies decided to get behind Linux within six days. If that's not validation, what is?" a spokeswoman said. Um, right. Note to Red Hat: When companies start talking about Microsoft "validating" their market, they're usually about to be validated out of business

84 Considerations in TW The ethics problem
Writing can have consequences for other people The persuasion problem People often disagree about what the information means and about what should be done The information problem Different readers have different information needs in different situation

85 The Information Problem
How do I make readers understand the positive features of the program, as well as those features that need improving? A little practice can make do!

86 The Persuasion Problem
How can I recommend improvements everyone can live with? Very difficult, needs sophistication!

87 truth The Ethics Problem
How can I tell the truth without harming anyone? Truth always hurts! truth

88 语言哲学 人对自己的需要很难有一个准确的尺度。因为人类语言的是那么的支离破碎，我们敲敲打打，希望音响坚锵，感动上苍。其实只有狗熊闻声起舞罢了
Human is incapable of measuring his own needs. Because human languages are broken. We punch and beat, wish to move God. In reality, only bears would dance to the sound.
