Sample:1.1 Add a New E-mail Account in Microsoft Outlook
Leo:Tony,could you tell me how to receive e-mails on my own computer? It takes too much time
to check e-mails on the web site, since I do it quite often.
Tony:You don’t have to log on to the web site every time. You can receive your e-mails with
Microsoft Outlook.
Leo:Can you tell me tow to do that? I have no clue at all.
Tony:After running Outlook, you can first click E-mail Accounts on the Tools menu. And then
select Add a new e-mail account.
Leo:I see. What type of e-mail server should I choose?
Tony:In this case, you need to choose POP3. And on the next page, in the appropriate boxes, you
need to type the information our administrator gave you, such as your e-mail address, user name, password, and the POP3 and SMTP addresses.
Leo:I got it. But one more question, do I have to type the password every time I check my
messages?
Tony:No, you don’t. You can type it in the Password box and select the Remember password
check box. In this way, you can have Outlook remember your password and you don’t have to type it in next time you check your e-mails. Leo:That’s very helpful. Thank you very much, Tony.
Tony:You’re welcome. Don’t hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. Leo:I won’t. Thank you.

1.1
Leo:Tony,能告诉我如何在我的电脑上收邮件吗?我需要经常查收邮件,而到网站上收邮件
实在太费时间了。
Tony:不用每次都登录到网站上去收邮件。你可以用Microsoft Outlook啊。 Leo: 能告诉我该怎么做吗?我一点也不懂。
Tony:先运行Outlook,再点击“工具”菜单上的“电子邮件账户”。再选择“添加一个新的
电子邮件账户”。
Leo:明白。我该选择什么样的邮件服务器类型?
Tony:你需要选择POP3,。在下一页适当的对话框里,填上管理员给你的信息,比如你的邮
件地址,用户名,密码和POP3以及SMTP服务器的地址。
Leo:知道了。不过还有一个问题,每次我收邮件的时候,都要输入密码吗?
Tony:不用啊。你可以在密码框中输入密码,并选中“记住密码”复选框。这样,Outlook
就能记住你的密码,你下次收邮件的时候就不必再输入了。 Leo:真是太有帮助了。谢谢你,Tony。
Tony:不客气。有什么问题,尽管来问我吧。 Leo:我会的。谢谢
Sample:1.2 Change Windows Visual Effects
Leo: Tony, I have a question. Tony: What’s up, Leo?
Leo: I have been using my computer for a while. It has been running much slower since I
installed some application software. What can I do to get if faster?
Tony: If all the programs are necessary, you can then solve the problem by giving up some visual
effects of the system.
Leo: What exactly should I do about that?
Tony: What you need to do is to adjust the system for its best performance instead of best
appearance. You can just right-click My Computer and select Properties. On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button under Performance. Are you with me?
Leo: Yes, go on please?
Tony: OK. On the Visual Effects tab, you can make your choice. For example, select the Adjust for
best performance radio button and all the special visual effects will be disabled but the system can run faster as you expected.
Leo: That’s cool. Thank you. But wait, how can I remove the background of the desktop icon
labels?
Tony: Oh, right. Just select the check box of use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop in
that dialogue box.
Leo: Problem solved. Thank you very much, Tony. 1.2
Leo:Tony,我有一个问题。 Tony:什么事,Leo?
Leo:我使用我的电脑已经有一段时间了。在安装了一些应用程序之后,电脑运行慢多了。怎
么能让它跑得快点呢?
Tony:要是所有这些软件都是必要的话,那么你可以通过放弃一些系统的视觉效果来解决这
3
个问题。
Leo:那我具体应该怎么办?
Tony:你需要把系统调整为最佳性能而非最佳外观。你可以右键单击“我的电脑”,选择“属
性”。在“高级选项卡”上,点击“性能”下面的“设置”按钮。跟得上吗? Leo:能,继续吧。
Tony:好。在“视觉效果”选项卡上,你就可以选择了。比如,选中“调整为最佳性能”单
选按钮,这样所有的特殊效果就都被禁用了,但系统就能如你所愿跑得快些了。 Leo:太棒了。谢谢啊。不,等一下,怎么能把桌面图标标签的背景去掉?
Tony:哦,对了。就在那个对话框中选择在“桌面上为图标标签使用阴影”的复选框就行了。 Leo:问题解决了。谢谢你,Tony。
Sample:1.3 Move My Documents to another Location
Tony: I just remember something. Leo, where do you save your documents? Leo: In My Documents. Why?
Tony: Did you ever move it to somewhere else? Leo: No. Am I supposed to?
Tony: Well, then I suggest you move it to somewhere other than the C drive, the primary
partition.
Leo: Can I ask why? And if I need to, what should I do?
Tony: The folder is originally located in the C drive. When you format the drive and reinstall your
system in case of system failure, the documents in the folder will be lost. You know what I mean?
Leo: Yeah, you’ve made your point. What exactly should I do now?
Tony: Just right-click My Documents and select Properties. Click the Move button on the Target
tab and choose the target folder location or you can create a new folder for it.
Leo: That seems easy. Thank you, Tony. I really appreciate your advice. Tony: Anytime. 1.3
Tony: 我刚想起来一件事儿。Leo,你把文档都保存到哪里? Leo: 在“我的文档”里。怎么了? Tony: 你把它们转移到别的地方了吗? Leo: 没有。应该这么做吗?
Tony: 哦,那我建议你还是把它们转移到主分区C盘之外的地方去。 Leo: 能问一下为什么吗?要是需要这么做的话,我该怎么操作呢?
Tony: 这个文件本来是位于C盘的。当出现系统失败,需要格式化C盘、重装系统的时候,
那里面的文档就都丢失了。懂我的意思吗?
Leo: 是的,你说得很明白了。那我具体应该如何做呢? Tony: 右键点击“我的文档”,选择“属性”。然后在“目标文件夹”选项卡上点击“移动”
按钮,并选择目标文件夹或者你可以为它创建一个新的文件夹。
Leo: 似乎不是很难啊。谢谢你,Tony。非常感谢你的建议。 Tony: 别客气。
