1.AligntheaudiocardwiththePCIslotandpressthecardgentlybutfirmlyintotheslot.

分析:本句为祈使句,包含两个动作:“align”和“press”;“align...with...”译为“使……与……对齐,使……与……排成一排”。

句意:将声卡对准PCI插槽,将声卡轻轻地按入插槽,但是要插牢。

2.DesignedtocomplementSoundBlaster,itfeaturesEAXADVANCEDHDfortheultimatedigitalentertainmentexperience.

分析:“it”指代文中上一句中的“CreativeMediaSource”,“Designed”解释为“被设计”,逻辑主语是“it”,“feature”作动词,表示“具有……特征”。

句意:CreativeMediaSource被设计成SoundBlaster的辅助工具,它具有EAXANVANCEDHD播放功能,带给您最佳的数码娱乐体验。

3.WithCreativeMediaSourceOrganizer,youcaneasilycreatehighqualityMP3songsfrommusicCDsthatyouown.

句意:使用CreativeMediaSourceOrganizer,您能够轻松地把您拥有的音乐CD创建成高品质的MP3歌曲。

4.IntheTaskbar,clicktheGetInfobuttonifyouwantyourMusicInformationProvidertofindthetrackdetailsforyourCD.

分析:“ifyouwantyourMusicInformationProvidertofindthetrackdetailsforyourCD”为if引导的条件状语从句。

句意:如果您希望音乐信息提供器找到CD曲目信息,请在任务栏中单击,获取信息按钮。

5.RegisterwithyourMusicInformationProvidertoretrievediscinformationforyouraudioCDsviatheInternet.

7.CMSSdeliversrich3Dvirtualsurroundsoundwithheadphonesor2speakersystem,andmultichannelaudioplaybackwith5.1,6.1or7.1speakersystems(shownasFig.15-4).
