If Lincoln Had Used a Computer(如果林肯使用过计算机……)
1. The ad for a software program caught my eye. It said, "Write better in 30 days or your money back."
1、有一则计算机软件的广告引起了我的注意。它说:“要是30天之内不能提高你的写作能力,就将原款退还。”
2. I'm familiar with computer programs that correct spelling through the use of built-in dictionaries. But the ad for this program said that it would correct "stylistic errors".
2、我熟悉那些通过使用内建字典来纠正拼写错误的计算机程序。但是,这则软件广告却说,它能纠正“文体错误”。
3. Style. That's a big part of what writing is about. So I stopped by the computer store to give it a test run. I wanted to see what the program would say about one of my favorite pieces of writing.
3、文体对于写作关系可是很重大的。因此,我在那家计算机商店停下来,准备试一试这个程序。我想看一看它会对我所喜爱的一篇文章说些什么。

4、我把文章输进了计算机。接着,计算机屏幕上显示出了一段评语。下文便是:
5. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. [Long sentences can be difficult to read and understand. Consider revising so that no more than one complete thought is expressed in each sentence. Passive voice: "are created." Consider using active. Usually a paragraph should have more than one sentence.]
5、87年前,我们的先辈在这个大陆上缔造了一个新国家。她以自由为立国之本,坚决奉行所有的人生来平等的原则。
6. Now we are engaged [Passive voice: "are engaged." Consider using active. See "Help" key for more information.] in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met [Passive voice: "are met." Consider using active.] on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicated a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that [Delete doubled word.] nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
6、目前我们正在进行一场伟大的内战,这场战争正考验我国,或者任何在自由中诞生并奉行上述原则的国家能否永存。我们在这场伟大战争的战场上聚会。把这战场之一角奉献给那些为国家生存而捐躯的人们,作为他们的最后安息之地。我们完全应该这样做。
