Dave: I see. Does it display everything clearly?
Alex: Yes. It did cut out a few bells and whistles, but most everything comes up just fine.
Dave: Do you think it's going to pose a serious threat to Microsoft?
Alex: With all of their security holes, Microsoft poses a threat to itself.
Dave: Ha-ha. But most of the world still uses their stuff.
Alex: True, but Linux is gaining market share every day.
Dave: But it's way too complicated for most people to use.
Alex: It gets easier every day, and now with Firefox, there's less and less reason to use Microsoft anything.

戴夫：我懂了。全部显示都很清楚吗？
艾力克：是啊。它的确去掉一些没用的设计，不过大都可以正常显示。
戴夫：你想它会对微软构成严重威胁吗？
艾力克：微软自己那一大堆安全漏洞，就已经对自己构成威胁了。
戴夫：哈哈。可是全球大多都还在用它们的东西。
艾力克：没错，可是Linux正在日渐扩展市场。
戴夫：可是对多数人来说使用起来实在太过复杂。
艾力克：越来越简单了，而且现在有了火狐，使用微软产品的理由就越来越少了。
重点解说：
★ display (v.) 显示
★ bells and whistles 华而不实的东西，这里用来形容软件一些不实用的设计
★ come up 出现，此指在网页上显示的元素
★ pose a threat to someone 对某人构成威胁
★ security (n.) 安全。security hole是‘安全漏洞'
★ gain (v.) 获得，增加。market share是‘市场占有率'
★ complicated (a.) 复杂的
★ Microsoft anything 这里的anything是指微软旗下的所有产品 | |

The desire to maintain standards is best seen on any holiday in the summer. Where the Spanish, the Italians, the British, and even the Germans, relax sufficiently to let a little stubble grow, or mealtimes become irregular, or dress become bizarre and ill coordinated, the French behave as though they were still under the microscope of real life.
夏天度假时最能看出法国人要保持规范的愿望了。当西班牙人、意大利人、英国人、甚至德国人都在充分放松的时候，比如让胡须茬子多长一点呀，就餐时间变得不规律呀，衣服也穿得希奇古怪或者不配套的时候，法国人却一如既往像平常一样地过，仿佛有显微镜在检验着他们的一举一动。 | |

将来进行时与will +动词原形的比较 (1)
will+动词原形和将来进行时之间的差别与will+动词原形和现在进行时之间的差别基本上相同。will+动词原形表示将来的意图。将来进行时表示未经过考虑将来便要进行的动作：
I'll write to Mr Pitt and tell him about Tom's new house.
我要写信告诉皮特先生关于汤姆的新房子的事。
在这个例句说话人根据自己的意愿宣布一个经过考虑的、将来要进行的动作。但在下面这句中：
I'll be writing to Mr Pitt and I'll tell him about Tom's new house.
我会写信给皮特先生并告诉他关于汤姆的新房子的事。
并不表示意图，仅仅是对事实的陈述，意味着写这封信给皮特先生是例行公事，或者这信是因与汤姆的新房子无关的原因而写的。
类似的情况有：
Tom won't cut the grass意指汤姆拒绝割草。
而Tom won't be cutting the grass（汤姆不会去割草）仅陈述这一事实，并未说明汤姆的想法。也许汤姆已外出，或者生病了，或者要做其他工作。
