8. Передайте диалог, пересказанный в косвенной речи, в прямой речи.

One day David met his friend John and asked him whether John knew something about translating machines. John replied that translating machines had been built many times but none of them, however, had done its job well enough. That was the reason why research on translating machines had gone continuously.

Then David said that one day he had seen a CD with some programs, which might help to translate from Russian into English. John advised David not to waste money and time because all these programs were unable to produce intelligible translation. They merely substituted Russian words with English equivalents and did not analyze the relations between the words of each sentence. David exclaimed that when translating so many logical processes were involved. He added that the machine must know much about grammar, and Russian grammar was so different from English. John also said that the commonest problem was where a word could have more than one meaning. A human translator would know which meaning to choose from the context. But machines had been known to make the wrong choice because if a machine was to make usable translations, it itself must be able to extract some, at least, of the meaning of the text. So John concluded that such machines were much further off and recommended David to study English hard.

14. Перепишите и переведите на русский язык следующий текст.

There are several advantages in making computers as small al possible. Sometimes weight is particularly important. A modern aircraft, for example, carries quite a load of electronic apparatus. If it is possible to make any of these smaller, and therefore lighter, the aircraft can carry a bigger load. This kind of consideration applies to space satellites and to all kinds of computers that have to be carried about. But weight is not the only factor. The smaller the computer the faster it can work. The signals go to and from at a very high but almost constant speed. So if one can scale down all dimensions to, let us say, one tenth, the average lengths of the current paths will be reduced to one tenths. So, very roughly speaking, scaling down of all linear dimensions in the ration of one to ten also gives a valuable advantage, the speed of operation is scaled up to 10 times. Other techniques allow even further speed increase. The increase of operation is a real advantage. Another advantage is that less power is required to run the computer. In space satellites this is an important matter. Another advantage is reliability. Mini-computers have been made possible by the development of integrated circuits. Repair of any kind is no longer needed. If one component circuit develops a fault, all that is needed is to locate the faulty unit, throw it away and plug in a new one.
