while shopping for my first cd player, i was able to decipher most of the technicalese on the promotional signs. one designation had me puzzled, though, so i called over a salesperson and asked, what does 'hybrid pulse d/a converter' mean?
that means, she said, that this machine will read the digital information that is encoded on cds and convert it into an audio signal - that is, into music.
in other words this cd player plays cds.
exactly.
在购买我的第一部cd唱机时，我能够解读推销标记上面的大多数技术语言。但是有一个标示却让我颇为迷惑，于是我叫过销售商，问道：‘混合脉冲d/a变换器’是什么意思？
它的意思是，她说，这个机器能够读cd碟上加码的数字信息，将它转换成声音信息－也就是说，转换成音乐。
换句话说，这个cd唱机能够播放cd碟。
正是如此。
