一、故事对话
A: Hello, thanks for calling 123 tech help. I'm Todd. How can I help you?
B: Oh, hello, can you help me? My computer, oh man…
A: It's OK, sir. Calm down. What happened?
B: I turned on my laptop and it broke. I mean, the monitor went black.
A: OK, sir. It sounds like you might have a virus.
B: I don't feel sick. Well, let me check. Nope, no fever... I'm fine.
A: No, your computer might have a virus. I mean, it has a bad program on it. Maybe that's why it crashed. I recommend that you run an antivirus program in order to safely remove any unwanted spyware or Trojans.
B: Phew! Wait a minute, crash? Spyware, Trojans, what, where, when?

A:好的先生,听您描述您的电脑可能中病毒了。
