前言

供中等职业学校使用的《计算机英语》于1997年出版，迄今已届3年。本次修订再版我们主要考虑了以下几点：一、保持原书定位：作为中等职业学校专业英语教材，仍以基础性、实用性和专业性为特征，并处理好三者之间的关系；二、课文选材更新：6个单元课文为完全新选内容，力求反映出计算机专业领域的最新发展；书末所附阅读材料也作了筛选与更新；三、课文配以参考译文：根据一版使用时各地提出的反馈意见，我们为所有课文配上了中文译文，（在《计算机英语练习答案》中增加）。承担本次修订任务的有汤惠民、沈启智、周宪珍等。本修订版由华中师范大学英语系主任张维友教授审阅。计算机领域的发展日新月异，由于编者水平所限，编写中难免会有疏漏。我们诚恳地欢迎使用本书的老师和同学批评指正，继续提出宝贵意见。
