a Part 1 Notes to text Data Compression 1)In com puter science and information theory, data com pression or source coding is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than an unencoded representation would use through use of specific encoding schemes.在计算机科学和信息理论中,数据压缩 或信源编码其实就是指采用比未经编码的信息表现方式更少的字节,通 过专门的编码系统进行编码的过程 注释:此句是主系表句型。 data compression or source coding 是主语, the process of encoding information是表语, using fewer bits和 through use of specific encoding schemes是修饰 encoding information的状语。 than an unencoded representation would use 是比较状语从句。 2)For exam ple, this article could be encoded with fewer bits if one were to accept the convention that the wordcompression"be encoded as"comp".例如,假如我们接受这样一种约定,也即是:将 compression"编译为"comp",那么用较少的位数就可以给这篇文章 完成编码。 注释: if one were to.是条件状语从句,were是虚拟语气,表示假设; that引导的从句是同位语,用以解释 convention的具体内容。 2021/2/20 P2

3)One popular instance of compression with which many computer users are fam iliar is the ZiP file format, which, as well as providing com pression, acts as an archiver, storing many files in a single output file.zP文件格式就是众多计算机使用者都很 熟悉的一种普及型压缩实例,它不但提供压缩,而且充当文件存储器, 在一个ZP输出文件中就可以存放很多文件。 注释:此句是主系表句型。 One popularinstance of com pression 是主语; the zIP file format是表语; with which many computer users are familiar是介词提前的定语从句, which指代前面的 instance of compression; which, as well as providing compression, acts as an archiver, storing many files in a single output file.是非限制性定语从句, which指代前面的 the ziP file format; providing compression/Storing many files in a single output file都是这个定语从句里的状语 2021/2/20 P3

ZIP文件格式就是众多计算机使用者都很 熟悉的一种普及型压缩实例，它不但提供压缩，而且充当文件存储器， 在一个ZIP输出文件中就可以存放很多文件。 注释：此句是主系表句型。One popular instance of compression 是主语；the ZIP file format 是表语；with which many computer users are familiar是介词提前的定语从句，which指代前面的 instance of compression；which, as well as providing compression, acts as an archiver, storing many files in a single output file.是非限制性定语从句，which指代前面的the ZIP file format；providing compression和storing many files in a single output file都是这个定语从句里的状语
4)A com pression method called Huffman coding is frequently used in data communications, and particularly in fax transmission有种叫 哈夫曼编码的压缩方法经常被用在数据通信,特别是传真传输上。 注释: Huffmancoding(哈夫曼编码)是一种根据字符出现的概率来构 造平均长度最短的编码。它是一种变长的编码。在编码中,若各码字长 度严格按照码字所对应符号出现概率的大小的逆序排列,则编码的平均 长度是最小的。(注:码字即为符号经哈夫曼编码后得到的编码,其长 度是因符号出现的概率而不同,所以说哈夫曼编码是变长的编码。) 5)Were the letter made up of randomly distributed black ink covering 50 percent of the white paper surface, data compression would hold no advantages.如果构成信件的那些随意分布的黑色墨迹 占据了白纸表面的50%,那么,数据压缩在此时就没什么优势可言了。 注释: Were the letter made up of.= f the letter were made up of…. 在书面语中,条件从句可以不用连词,而将谓语中的过去式were,had 或 should等移至主语前。这属于虚拟语气中的一种特殊结构形式; covering50 percent of the white paper surface是现在分词短语做定语, 修饰前面的 black ink。 2021/2/20 SPaY End
