to your ankle bone, your ankle bone‘s connected to your leg bone." They can translate more

difficult phrases, such as "Which witch is which?" Computers can also accurately translate

"Wild thing, you make my heart sing!" into other languages because they can understand

individual words, as long as the words are pre-programmed in their dictionary.

But highly sensitive types of translating, such as important diplomatic conversations, are beyond

the scope of computer translating programs. Human translators use intuitional meaning, not

logic, to process words and phrases into other languages. A human can properly translate the

phrase, ―The pen is in the pen（围养禽畜的圈）,” because most humans know that it means that

a writing instrument is in a small enclosed space. Many times, computers do not have the ability

to determine in which way two identical words in one sentence are to be used.

In addition to using massive rule-programmed machines, computer programmers are

also trying to teach computers to learn how to think for themselves through the "experience" of

translating. Even with these efforts, programmers admit that a "thinking" computer might not

ever be invented in the future.

Passage Five

Several years ago during the dot-com passion, Manhattan lawyer John Kennedy sometimes

wore a dark blue suit to meet potential Internet clients. But he soon realized that his

conservative clothes were a strike against him before he even shook hands. so he began to do

business in casual, open-shirt clothes.

But now the tables have turned. Today Silicon Valley executives are the ones often coming

out in suits. No wonder that fortune 500 executives are dusting off their silk ties and pants. ―I

would say there is a trend now toward a little more business dress,‖ said Kennedy. ―I find

myself wearing suits more.‖

While there isn‘t a rush toward formal office wear, clothiers and executives say the workplace

uniform is heading that way. In many offices, men are wearing Jackets, ties and pants more

doesn‘t affect them as dramatically.“Business casual‖ took several years to catch on. It started

with casual Fridays, evolved to casual summers, then became casual everyday.

Observers mention many factors driving the trend Internet companies helped lead the

dress-downmovement and other industries followed suit to attract workers. But with the collapse

counts.
