Software軟件
Software is completely intangible and cannot be physically touched. Software, in its purest form, is a series of 1s and 0s (bits) that make up the code that gives the computer its instructions on how to perform a certain task. While you may be able to touch the media on which the software is stored (like a CD or DVD), you cannot really touch the software code itself.
軟件是完全無形的，不能被實際觸摸。最純粹形式的軟件是由一系列1和0（位）組成的代碼，這些代碼向計算機提供有關如何執行特定任務的指令。雖然您可以觸摸存儲軟件的介質（例如CD或DVD），但實際上不能觸摸軟件代碼本身。
The most basic software that a computer requires is the operating system. There are numerous operating systems on the market today, including various versions of Microsoft Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux, Android, and iOS, to name just a few. The operating system provides the standard methods for saving, retrieving, changing, printing, and transmitting information in the computer. Operating systems contain internal commands, which are programs that are built into the operating system to perform basic tasks such as file management (delete, copy, and rename files). Additionally, operating systems also contain external commands, which are added programs to complete more complicated functions, such as defragmentation of a hard drive or handling the remote control of another computer on the network.
計算機所需的最基本的軟件是操作系統。當今市場上有許多操作系統，其中包括Microsoft Windows，Macintosh OS X，Linux，Android和iOS的各種版本。操作系統提供了用於在計算機中保存，檢索，更改，打印和傳輸信息的標準方法。操作系統包含內部命令，這些內部命令是操作系統內置的程序，用於執行基本任務，例如文件管理（刪除，複製和重命名文件）。此外，操作系統還包含外部命令，這些命令是添加的程序，可以完成更複雜的功能，例如對硬盤驅動器進行碎片整理或處理網絡上另一台計算機的遠程控制。
Finally, there are software programs called applications. These programs are used to create, store, modify, and view information that you create. Applications, such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat, allow you to read and create documents and presentations. Other applications, such as games and web browsers, may instead be used for entertainment.
最後，有稱為應用程序的軟件程序。這些程序用於創建，存儲，修改和查看您創建的信息。諸如Microsoft Office或Adobe Acrobat之類的應用程序允許您閱讀並創建文檔和演示文稿。可以將其他應用程序（例如游戲和Web瀏覽器）用於娛樂。
