Notes（课文注释） [1] The availability of high-powered personal computers and access to the information highway dramatically enhance the capability of the engineering team and its productivity. 翻译：利用高性能微型计算机和进入信息高速公路可以大大增强工程小组的能力和效率。 high-powered personal computers：高性能微型计算机；information highway：信息高速公路。 [2] Periodic visits to the customer can be made to ensure that the product you designed is working according to the specifications. 翻译：定期访问你的客户可以保证你设计的产品按照设计要求进行工作。 periodic visits：定期访问，后接to。 [3] As we move fully into the Information Ages, success will require that the engineer possess some unique knowledge of and experience in both the development and the management of technology. Information Ages：信息时代。 翻译：随着我们步入信息时代，要取得成功，工程师们在技术开发和技术管理方面都应该具有一些独特的知识和经验 [4] Increasingly, in the future, routine problems will not justify heavy engineering expenditures, and engineers will be expected to work cooperatively in solving more challenging, more demanding problems in substantially less time. 翻译：将来，花在解决日常工程问题上的费用将会减少，工程师们将会在一些更富有挑战性，更亟待解决的问题上协同工作，大大缩短解决这些问题所需要的时间。 [5] To assure success, the capability of our tools and the unquenched thirst for better products and systems must be matched by the joy of creation that marks all great engineering endeavors. be matched by：与……相适应。 翻译：为了确保成功，我们所使用的工具的性能和对更好的产品与系统的不断追求应该与标志着在工程方面所有巨大努力的创新工作所带来的喜悦相适应。 Reading Materials（阅读材料） Air and hydraulic motors have more limited application than electric motors, simply because they require the availability of a compressed air or hydraulic source. Both of these devices are less energy efficient than direct electric to mechanical conversion of electric motors, because of the losses associated with the conversion of the energy first from chemical or electrical to fluid pressure and then to mechanical form. Every energy conversion involves some losses. Other Types of Motor （其他类型的电机） 空气及液压电动机与电机相比使用范围较窄，原因很简单，要有压缩空气及液压源。这两类装置与电动机直接将电能转变成机械能相比能量利用率较低，因为起初从化学能或电能转变成流体的压力就有能量损失，然后再转变为机
