paragraphs into Chinese:
(1)Database is a ColleCtion of information organized in suCh a way that a Computer program Can quiCkly seleCt desired pieCes of data.You Can think of a database as an eleCtroniC filing system.
Traditional databases are organized by fields,reCords,and files.A field is a single pieCe of information;a reCord is one Complete set of fields;and a file is a ColleCtion of reCords.For example,a telephone book is analogous to a file.It Contains a list of reCords,eaCh of whiCh Consists of three fields:nalne,address,and telephone number.
An alternative ConCept in database design is known as Hypertext.In a Hypertext database,any objeCt,whether it is a pieCe of text,a piCture,or a film,Can be linked to any other objeCt.Hypertext databases are partiCularly useful for organizing large amounts of disparate information,but they are not designed for numeriCal analysis.

HistoriCally,SQL has been the favorite query language for database management systems running on miniComputers and mainframes.InCreasingly,however,SQL is being supported by PC database systems beCause it supports distributed databasee(databases that are spread out over several Computer systems).This enables several users on a loCal-area network to aCCess the same database simultan
…… 近年来随着信息技术的不断发展,被称为“万精油”的电子与信息工程专业覆盖的技术越来越宽,包含电子技术、自动化技术、通信技术、计算机技术等。在专业英语教学中,很难找到兼顾这些技术的教材,满足不了教学要求。重庆大学出版社组织的面向21世纪的西部高校教材,要求体现内容“新、奇、特”为指导思想。电子与信息工程专业英语教材内容是*新的,取材范围也广,在编者的专业英语教学经验基础上,整合并包含了所涉及的专业课程,希望能体现新世纪专业英语教学上两者兼顾的要求。书中有些内容是笔者的教学资料。编写本书目的是通过专业英语的学习,能掌握常用的专业词汇、能阅读和翻译专业文章,为跟踪和学习专业新知识打下坚实的基础。
