Unit4Exercises
(1)Translate the following passages into Chinese.
munication may be broadly defined as the transfer of information from one point to
another. When the information is to be conveyed over any distance a communication system is usually required. Within a communication system the information transfer is frequently achieved by superimposing or modulating the information on to an electromagnetic wave which acts as a carrier for the information signal. This modulated carrier is then transmitted to the required destination where it is received and the original information signal is obtained by demodulation. Sophisticated techniques have been developed for this process by using electromagnetic carrier waves operating at radio frequencies as well as microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. However, communication may also be achieved by using an electromagnetic carrier that is selected from the optical range of frequencies.
通信可以广义地定义为从一处到另一处的信息传递。

当要将信息传输到任何距离以外时就需要有一个通信系统。

在通信系统内部，信息的传输经常通过将信息叠加或调制到作为信号载体的电磁波上来实现。

经调制的载波然后被传送到要求的目的地，在那里被接收，原始信号通过解调被恢复出来。

为了实现这一过程，已经利用工作在射频、微波以及毫米波频率上的电磁载波开发了复杂的技术。

不过通信也可以用光波频段上的电磁载波来实现。

2.Electronic communications is the transfer and movement of data between locations through the
use of computers. An electronic communication system includes the equipment needed to support the movement of information, the communication lines and media to carry the information, the computer software and programs to control the flow of information, the personnel to plan, implement, and operate communications, and the management of all these resources. Electronic communications establishes links between people as well as computers.
电子通信就是通过使用计算机在不同的地点之间传输数据。

一个电子通信系统包括：支持信息流动所需要的设备，承载信息的通信线路和媒介，控制信息流的计算机软件和程序，计划、实施、操作通信系统的人员，以及对所有这些资源的管理。

电子通信建立起人和人、计算机和计算机之间的联系。

3.First generation communications systems can be characterized by the use of analog
transmission techniques, and the use of simple multiplex access techniques such as frequency division multiple access (FDMA). They suffered from a low user capacity, and security problems due to the simple radio interface used. Second generation systems were introduced in the early 1990’s, and all use digital technology. This provided an increase in the user capacity of around three times, achieved by compressing the voice waveforms before transmission. Third generation systems are an extension on the complexity of second-generation systems and are to be introduced after the year 2000. The system capacity will be increased to over ten times original first generation systems, achieved by using complex multiplex access techniques such as code division multiplex access (CDMA), or an extension of TDMA, and by improving flexibility of services available.
第一代通信系统以模拟传输技术和简单复用技术如频分复用为特征。

这些系统用户容量低，而且因为使用简单的无线电接口而存在安全问题。

第二代通信系统于20世纪90年代初开始引入，全部使用数字技术。

response of the channel and due to undesirable electrical signals (noise) and interference. Noise and signal distortion are two basic problems of electrical communication.
传输信号的退化是信号失真的结果，而这种失真又是由信道的非理想响应及不想要的电信号（噪声）和干扰引起的。

噪声和信号畸变是电子通信的两个基本问题。

Unit 8 Exercises
(1)Translate the following sentences into Chinese.
1.Early in the twentieth century, it was found that light could cause atoms to emit electrons and
that, when light released an electron from an atom, the energy possessed by the electron very greatly exceeded that which the atom could, according to the electromagnetic wave theory, have received.
在二十世纪早期，人们发现光能够使原子放出电子，而且当光从原子中释放一个电子时，电子所包含的能量大大超过由电磁波理论得到的原子所接收的能量。

2.Pulse broadening determines the minimum separation between adjacent pulses, which in turn
determines the maximum information-carrying capacity of the optical fiber.
脉冲的展宽决定了相邻脉冲之间的最小间隔，这一间隔进而又决定了光纤的最大信息容量。

3.If one were to transmit such information without impressing it on an optical carrier but instead
on a radio frequency (RF) carrier a bit higher than the maximum rate, the transmission wavelength of the RF carrier would be centimeters or larger.
如果传输这样的信息不是将它加载到光纤上，而是加载在略高于最大速率的射频载波上，则此射频载波就会是厘米波或是波长更长一些的波。

4.The smallness of the optical wavelength, therefore, allows for the miniaturization of transmit
and receive modules, which should allow considerable reduction in size, weight, and cost of optical communication systems with respect to microwave/radio wave counterparts.
光波波长之小使发射和接收模块得以小型化，这就使光通信系统的尺寸、重量以至价格与相应的微波、无线电波通信系统相比都大为降低。

5.Although all the advantages of coherent optical communication systems have yet to be brought
to fruition, another property of optical radiation has made today’s optical communication systems not desirable for applications.

6.When coupled with light’s short wavelength which allows for miniature sources and detectors
and micron-sized waveguides, direct detection schemes have allowed for small, lightweight, high bandwidth systems which are competitive in many areas, most notably to the present telecommunications transmission, although a myriad of other applications are continually opening up.
光的波长很小，可以使用小型的光源和检测器以及微米级的波导，于是用直接检测方案可实现在许多领域具有竞争力的小巧的宽带系统，这些领域中特别引人注目的是当前电信传输中的应用，尽管
无数其他应用也在不断涌现出来。

7.As mentioned previously, these applications have tended to open up more slowly than
originally predicted, as cost was really not much of a consideration in telecommunications, where equipment costs are swamped by other considerations.
如前所述，（线路）成本并非电信系统中真正重要的考虑因素，通信设备的成本主要受到其他因素的制约，因此这些应用比预料的出现得慢。

8.As wavelengths decrease to approach the size of circuit components, circuit elements are no
longer lumped as such, and leads can act as reflective components and/or antennas and lumped elements as electromagnetic resonators.

described how the automatic computer can be put to use to do data handling work to serve an organization, nor why such work is done in the way that it is.
前面的章节讲述了自动计算机是如何工作的，但没有讲述自动计算机如何能用于数据处理工作以服务于一个机构，也没有讲述这种工作为什么用这种方法实现。

2.While the subject of coding often carries with it an air of secrecy, a more important motive in

Unit 15 Exercises
(1)Translate the following passage into Chinese.
Because digital image processing does encompass such a wide variety of techniques and mathematical tools, each application involves a sequence of processing steps. These steps are modules that can be arranged in an enormous number of different sequences, and each module generally admits the specification of parameter values that further expand the range of possible manipulation schemes to achieve the desired results. The major advantages of digital images as compared with analog (i.e. film) images are the quality of the data and the accessibility of that data to computer manipulation. The quality advantage is really an aggregate of two advantages:
-Dynamic range: up to 128 or more gray levels can be present on digital images whereas only 15-30 discernible on film products.
-Reproducibility: a copy of a copy of a copy of a digital image contains exactly the same data as the original, whereas a forth-generation photographic product is substantially degraded in comparison with the original.
Although these are advantages, the compelling advantage for the applications community derives from the accessibility of the data to computer manipulation. To generate a general-purpose film product is essentially to choose a compromise among competing requirements from agronomists, hydrologists, foresters, geologists, urban planners, and other user groups; it is not optimized for any one. Digital images lend themselves to custom tailoring by the user for his or her application in a way that film products cannot.
数字图像处理包括了多种多样的技术和数学工具，每一项应用都涉及到一系列的处理步骤。

这些步骤是以大量不同次序排列的各种模块，每一模块通常容许一些参数值的技术指标，从而进一步扩大了为获得预期结果而可能采取的处理方案的选择范围。

与模拟图像（即胶片）相比，数字图像的主要优点在于数据的质量和数据可供计算机进行处理这两方面。

质量方面的优越性实际上是以下两种优越性的综合：动态范围：数字图像可表现128级或更多的灰度，而胶片产品只能分辨15至30级；重现性：一幅数字图像多次复制后仍与原件包含完全相同的信息，而一幅第四代的照片与原件相比却大大地退化（损伤）了。

Unit 16 Exercises
(1)Translate the following sentences into Chinese.
1.In recent years, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of digital computers and
special-purpose digital circuitry for performing varied signal processing functions that were originally achieved with analog equipment.
近年来为实现各种信号处理功能，数字计算机和专用数字电路的使用有了巨大的增长，这些处理功能原先都是用模拟设备实现的。

2.In the beginning, computers were used to process only numerical information, but majority of
our information is non-numerical in nature and very little is known about its description and processing.
一开始计算机只是被用来处理数值信息，而我们的大多数信息都是非数值性质的，而且人们对这些信息的描述和处理所知甚少。

(1)Translate the following passages into Chinese.
1.For the first time ever the landscape is changing, as high volume personal computer
multimedia applications proliferate. First affected were monitors, which for some time have offered higher-than-broadcast speed and resolution. One can expect cameras to follow, with high-speed, high-resolution devices driven by consumer digital still camera technology and lower-resolution, ultra low cost units driven by entertainment, internet conferencing, and perceptual user interface applications.
随着大量个人计算机多媒体应用的急剧增加，情况首次发生了变化。

最早受到影响的是显示器，相
当长时间以来它已经能够提供比广播级更高的分辨率和速度。

人们可期待照相机/摄像机也随之跟上，包括由民用数字照相机所推动的高速度、高分辨率器件，娱乐业、互联网远程会议和用户视觉界面
应用所推动的低分辨率和极低价格的设备。

2.If you already have the fastest CPU in a particular family and still want more performance,
then it may be more cost-effective to add system RAM or cache RAM than to put in a processor from a different family. Adding system memory can bring significant performance increases at a relatively low cost, assuming you configure the memory correctly. In addition to added cache and system RAM, a faster and larger hard drive can save you time when running applications dependent on heavy drive access and data throughput. Adding a graphics accelerator card can help, too, especially if you are looking for a way to stay awake while your system redraws images.
如果你已经有了某一系列中最快的CPU而还想要更多的性能，那么增加系统RAM或高速缓存
RAM也许比插入一枚另一系列的处理器更合算。

特别是如果你是一名Windows用户，假设你正确
地配置内存，则增加系统内存可以较低的代价带来可观的性能提高。

除了增加高速缓存或系统RAM，一个更快和更大的硬盘可在运行依赖于大量读写硬盘和有大量数据吞吐时节省你的时间。

增加一个图形加速器也是有益的，如果你使用Windows，而且发现你在寻找某种途径使你在系统重显
图象时能保持“清醒”，则尤其是如此。

3.In university environments, MATLAB has become the standard instructional tool for
introductory courses in applied linear algebra, as well as advanced courses in other areas. In industrial settings, MATLAB is used for research and to solve practical engineering and mathematical problems.
Typical uses include general purpose numerical computation, algorithm prototyping, and special purpose problem solving with matrix formulations that arise in disciplines such as automatic control theory, statistics, and digital signal processing (time-series analysis).
在大学环境里，它已成为应用线性代数导论以及其他领域中许多高级课程的标准教学工具。

在工业界，MATLAB被用于研究和解决实际的工程和数学问题。

典型的应用包括通用数值计算、算法原型测试以及使用矩阵公式的专门问题的解决，这些问题是在自动控制理论、统计、数字信号处理（时
间序列分析）等学科中提出来的。

4.Multimedia is a generic term for “multimedia computing” or “interactive multimedia”. The
computer and software are used to control and navigate through the communications links, not only one at the time, but several simultaneously. Computer systems have been most developed in using vision and hearing to interface between the digital and analogue worlds, e.g., still and moving images, text and graphics use the visual senses, and audio uses hearing. Multimedia is defined as visual, audio and textual information which can be presented, separately or simultaneously, to convey and present information interactively to users. It is technically easy to digitize the analogue forms of these common media and handled by computers now widely available and inexpensive to be accessible to most users.
多媒体是表示“多媒体计算”或“交互式多媒体”的一般术语。

计算机和软件被用于控制并通过不
止一条通信链接同时进行浏览。

在利用视觉和听觉在数字和模拟世界之间进行交互方面，计算机系
统已得到极大的发展，例如对静止和活动图像、文本和图形使用视觉，对音频使用听觉。

多媒体被定义为可以分别或同时展现的视频、音频、文本信息，用以交互式地将信息传递和展示给用户。

技术上很容易将这些普通媒体的模拟形式用计算机实现数字化并加以处理，计算机现在已十分普遍，其价格便宜，大多数用户都能使用。

5.The essential capability of any multimedia computer system is the ability to convert the
analogue signal to a digital format and to compress this information using standard algorithms. The power of the CPU will determine whether this process can be carried out in real-time or whether it has to be done off-line. Originally this power only existed in UNIX systems, but more recently it has become available in PCs and Macintosh. The compression process is necessary otherwise the quantity of data to be stored and transmitted would be excessive. Most PCs have until recently depended upon hardware encoding/decoding systems, but the speed of current processors is such that software compression systems have been developed. The advantage of the software systems is that the compatibility and interoperability issues can be handled more easily, and the cost of the equipment is not raised by the need to purchase expensive hardware devices.
任何多媒体计算机的基本功能是将模拟信号转换成数字格式，并用标准算法将此信息压缩的能力。

CPU处理能力将决定是否能实时完成此过程还是必须离线执行。

原先只有UNIX系统才有这种实时能力，但近年来PC和Macintosh也能胜任（有这种能力）了。

压缩是必须的，否则要存储和传送的数据量太大。

直到不久前大多数PC还依赖硬件编解码系统，而目前的处理器速度已使软件编解码系统的开发成为可能。

软件系统的优点在于可更方便地处理兼容性和协同工作问题，而且不会因购置昂贵的硬件而提高设备成本。

Unit 19 Exercises
(1)Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese.
1.Artificial Intelligence is a branch of science that helps machines find solutions to complex
problems in a human-like fashion. This generally involves borrowing characteristics from human intelligence, and applying them as algorithms in a computer friendly way. Computers are fundamentally well suited to performing mechanical computations using fixed rules. This allows machines to perform simple monotonous tasks efficiently and reliably, which humans are not suited to. Unlike humans, however, computers have trouble in understanding specific situations, and adapting to new situations.
Artificial Intelligence aims to improve machine behavior in tackling such complex tasks. Humans have an interesting approach to problem-solving, based on abstract thought, high-level reasoning and pattern recognition. Artificial Intelligence can help us understand this process by recreating it, then potentially enabling us to enhance it beyond our current capabilities.
人工智能是一个科学分支，它可以帮助机器找到像人那样解决复杂问题的解。

这通常包括从人的智能中借用一些特征，应用这些特征开发出便于计算机实现的算法。

计算机原则上适合于按照固定的编程规则进行机械性的计算，这使得机器能够有效而可靠地执行简单单调的任务，这正是人所不擅长的。

然而不同于人，计算机难以理解特定的情形，适应的新情况。

人工智能的目标就是改进机器的性能以对付这种复杂的任务。

人类具有一种解决问题的有趣能力，这种能力是基于抽象思维、高级推理和模式识别的。

人工智能可以通过重建这一过程来帮助我们理解它，进而使我们的能力有可能超越当前的水平。

It is rare that the optimization will be achieved in only one step, and usually many iterations around the analysis-error-adjustment loop will be required for obtaining a satisfactory result.
只经过一步就达到优化的情况是罕见的，为了得到满意的结果通常要围绕“分析－误差－调节”的循环进行多次迭代。
