That’sa preview of the headlines around the world if Mr McCain is elected.这是预览头条世界各地,如果麦凯恩当选。 Considering that the US is (still) a global technological leader, this is just the kind of headline that is sure to inspire confidence and let pesky upstart nations know who is in charge, right?考虑到美国(仍然)全球技术领导者,这是什么样的标题肯定会激发信心,让讨厌的暴发户国家知道是谁负责,对不对? Here’s John McCain in a recent interview for Yahoo, responding to the question of whether he prefers a PC or MAC with the following answer:这是麦凯恩在最近的一次采访中,雅虎在回答他是否喜欢一台PC或MAC以下答案:
“Neither. “没有。 I’m an illiterate that has to rely on my wife for all of the assistance I can get.” (John McCain on whether he prefers a PC or MAC computer.)我是一个文盲了依靠我的妻子的所有援助,我可以。 “ (参议员麦凯恩对他是否喜欢在PC或Mac电脑。 )
See for yourself and have some fun. 见自己和一些乐趣。
Let’s look in detail at Senator McCain’s answer.让我们来看看详细参议员麦凯恩的答案。 He says: I use neither a PC nor MAC.他说:我既不是使用个人电脑或陆委会。 I am illiterate (actually uses the term ILLITERATE) and rely on my wife for anything that has to do with the use of computers.我是文盲(实际使用的术语是文盲) ,并依靠我的妻子说什么也跟使用电脑。 Next thing I’d like to know is “What does Cindy McCain know about the use of computers?” maybe she is a true computer genius and that’s why John decides to let her handle this task.接下来的事情我想知道是“什么辛迪麦凯恩知道如何使用电脑? ”也许她是一个真正的电脑天才,这就是为什么约翰决定让她处理好这一任务。 I have a hunch that this is wishful thinking but maybe she is the one that “cracked the IRS database” that Neo is referring to in the first MATRIX movie, how knows?我有预感,这是一厢情愿的想法,但也许她是一个“国税局破获数据库”的新是指在第一个矩阵的电影,怎么知道?
I suppose what we are really asking is whether we can afford to have a national chief executive that does not have a certain minimal first-hand experience with Information Technology, eg, computer use.我猜想是我们真正要求的是我们是否可以有一个国家行政长官,不具备一定的最低限度的第一手经验与信息技术,如使用电脑。 In my professional experience a more tech-savvy executive is a better qualified executive, so certainly the fact that John McCain is on par with George Bush in this regard does not help him with this author.在我的职业经验更精通技术的执行是一个更好的合格的行政,所以肯定的事实,参议员麦凯恩是等同于老布什在这方面并没有帮助他这个作者。 On the other hand, those that do not have any IT background, do not use computers and are openly skeptical of all that “Internet Stuff” may find comfort in McCain’s technological ignorance.另一方面,那些没有任何IT背景,不要使用电脑,并公开表示怀疑一切“互联网内容”可能找到安慰麦凯恩的技术的无知。 Depends which way this country wants to go, I guess.哪种方式取决于这个国家想,我猜。 Backwards to the cave or forward into the future.倒退到洞穴或转寄到未来。 The choice is ours.选择是我们的。
