Zhang Ying and her colleague Vivian Mill are talking about the fax machine their department has just bought in their office.張穎和她的同事維維安·米爾在辦公室里談論他們部門新買的傳真機。

A：Zhang，have you seen the new fax machine our department has just bought？A：張，你看到了我們部門新買的傳真機了嗎？B：Definitely！It is beautiful.I like it.I have dreamed for a fax machine in our department for a long time.A：當然了！很漂亮，我喜歡。我一直就希望我們的部門能有臺傳真機。

A：Why are you so crazy about the fax machine？A：你為什么對傳真機如此喜歡啊？

B：The fax has greatly changed office work，especially in China.When you place a sheet of paper in a fax machine，the machine"reads"the writing on the page and changes the shapes of characters into electronic signals.It then sends these signals down an ordinary telephone line to another fax machine，which changes the signals back into the shapes of characters.You can imagine how useful this is，particularly in countries like China and Japan，which use written characters not letters.It is also useful for sending pictures，designs，maps and so on.B：傳真機使辦公室的工作大為改觀了，特別是在中國。你把一張紙放進傳真機，機器就會"閱讀"紙上的字，并把字形變為電子信號。然后，機器把這些電子信號送入普通的電話線路，傳送到另一部傳真機上，這部傳真機就把這些信號再變成字形。你可以想像這種機器是多么有用，特別是在中國和日本這些國家，人們書寫的文字是方塊字，而不是字母。傳真機還可以用來傳送圖片、設計、地圖等等。A：But sending a fax is more expensive than posting a letter.A：但是發送傳真費用比郵寄一封信高多了。B：That's true，but it is much quicker.For example，you can send information abroad immediately，but mailing a letter might take a week or so.B：這是真的，但是發送傳真比郵寄信函要快得多。比方說，你可以把信息立刻傳送到國外，而寄信則可能需要一周左右。A：We can send emails，which may be quick and cheap as well.A：我們可以發送電子郵件，它可是既快速又廉價啊。B：That's when we have our files in electronic versions.If the files are only in paper version，it would be more complicated to send an email because you need to scan the file into the computer first，and fax would be convenient in that situation.B：那是我們有文件的電子版本的時候，如果該文件僅有紙質版，發送電子郵件就會變得很復雜，因為你需要先把文檔掃描進計算機里，而那種情況下，如果有傳真機的話就會方便了。

A：Yeah，fax is especially useful for urgent transferring of paper files.A：是的，在傳送緊急紙質文件時，傳真是特別有用的。B：I have heard that nowadays there is a kind of software which makes it possible to send faxes through the internet without using a fax machine.B：我聽說現在已經有軟件能夠通過互聯網發送傳真，而不用傳真機了。

A：That's more convenient and cheaper.A：那就更方便和廉價了。B：Yes.B：是啊。
