Common Problems with Office Equipment
办公设备常见问题
Offices have two major pieces of equipment, computers and copy machines. Computers are probably the most useful; they can make work much easier. Without computers things would be much harder to do (and I wouldn't have a job.)
办公室设备常见问题办公室一般都有两种主要的设备：电脑和复印机。电脑可能是最有用的。它们可以使工作变得更简单。没有电脑，事情会变得很困难。(而我也会失业)
1) One of the biggest and most common problems with computers is when they crash. When this happens, you often lose whatever you are working on. This can be a big problem. (Also, if your computer crashes, that mean you can't read our newsletter
1) 对于电脑来说，最常见和最大的问题是电脑死机问题。电脑死机时，你经常会丢失正在做的文件。这可真是个大问题。(这也意味着如果你的电脑死机了，你就无法读到我们的英语杂志了。)
2) Another problem is when the program you are using has a bug. This is also a very common problem. Many programs have bugs in them; one example is Windows. When a program has a bug, it stops working for no reason at all. You also usually lose all of your work when this happens.
2) 电脑的另一个常见问题是你所使用的程序有问题，这也是一个常见问题。当程序有问题时，电脑会在没有任何原因的情况下突然停止工作。发生这种情况时，你通常也会丢掉正在处理的东西。.)
3) Copiers are much simpler machines. They usually don't have any problems besides running out of paper. But sometimes they go down and you have to call a repairman to fix them.
3) 复印机相对简单一些。除了缺纸外一般不会有什么别的问题。但有时复印机也会出问题。这时你就得请维修人员来修理。
