ExtremeTech网站今天放出一篇很有意思的文章,列出了数种DIY玩家的类型,让我们一起来学习学习英语,顺便对号入座吧!
Title: What's Your DIY Personality? 题目:你是什么个性的DIY?
Here at ExtremeTech, there are few things we love more than rolling up our sleeves and putting together a kick-butt PC from scratch. Whether it's a super-speedy rig or one that's perfect for gaming nuts, we're do-it-yourselfers to the core. We realize, though, that not all of you have the do-re-mi for a 400GB hard drive -- or the room for three or four different systems. So, we put together some profiles that fit different Build It enthusiasts. Which one sounds the most like you?
在ExtremeTech,几乎没有什么事情能比卷起袖子、从无到有地组装一台强劲的PC更令我们高兴。不论是追求超快的安装速度,还是为疯狂游戏打造完美的平台,我们都要彻底地DIY。不过我们也知道,不是所有的读者都能拥有一块400GB的硬盘,或者有专门的房间放置三至四个不同的系统。所以我们对不同类型的DIY做了一些剖析并罗列如下,其中哪一种看起来会更像你呢?
The Hard Core Gamer-游戏狂:

Believes he actually lives in Vice City-相信自己确实生活在“罪恶都市”
Routinely threatens to "frag" his boss-习惯性地恐吓,要“frag”了老板
Claims to have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from playing Call of Duty for 23 hours straight-连续玩了23个小时的COD之后,抱怨自己得了“创伤后压力心理障碍症(PTSD)”
注:如果你不知道什么是GTA,也不明白“frag”是什么意思,甚至连COD是何方神圣都不知晓,你肯定不是这一型……
The Speed Freak-极速怪:

Has an intravenous drip filled with Red Bull-用红牛做静脉滴注
Overclocks his microwave oven-超频微波炉
Has contacted sprint about directly hooking into an Internet backbone-接入互联网时做短跑运动以图加速
注:就算不懂超频和互联网,天天看电视也会知道“红牛”是干啥的吧……
The Mighty Mite-精灵王

Has a tower unit that doubles as a coffee table-拥有一个比咖啡桌大两倍的立式机箱
Eats off dollhouse plates and cutlery-用洋娃娃的餐具吃东西
Lives in an apartment in New York City-住在纽约市的一间公寓里
注:ExtremeTech推荐这类人用准系统……
The Dreamer-梦想家:

Expects Pamela Anderson to return his e-mails and letters-期待帕梅拉•安德森(性感女星)能给自己回复电子邮件和信件
Anxiously awaits Cray Inc.'s foray into personal computing-焦急地等待Cray公司(著名超级计算机公司)入侵个人电脑
Thinks Longhorn is coming out "any day now"-相信长角牛随时都会问世
注:这类型似乎已经超出了DIY的范畴……
