計算機與因特網上插件指南

　　下面是學習啦小編整理的計算機與因特網上插件指南，歡迎大家閱讀!

　　Life on-line can be a much richer experience when you aren't restricted to just written words and still pictures. Even if you're new to the Net， you've probably heard aobut multimedia on-line——listening to audio， watching animations and videos， even playing in three-dimensional space. Sound and movement make information come alive. To experience it， you'll need special pieces of software called plug-ins. The term "plug-in" refers to a small， add-on piece of software which extends the capabilities of your web browser， like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer， turning your computer into a radio or TV.

　　當你不再僅僅限于文字和靜止圖片時，網上生活會豐富多彩得多。即使是個因特網新手，你也許聽說過在線式多媒體——聽音樂、看動畫和錄像，甚至玩三維游戲。聲音和活動畫面使信息變得活靈活現。

　　要體驗這些，你需要叫作“插件”的特殊軟件。術語“插件”指的是一個附加的小軟件，他能夠擴展你的網絡瀏覽器(比如網景的導航者或微軟的探索者)的功能——把你的計算機變成一臺收音機或電視機。

　　When you arrive at a web page which contains a file requiring a plug-in which you don't have， you will usually receive a message asking if you want to get it by downloading it and installing it into your computer. Most of the time， the installation will be automatic.

　　Occasionally， you'll run into a downloaded file which needs to be decompressed or un-zipped before installation. Once installed， plug-ins run automatically， without you having to do anything.

　　當你進入的網頁含有需要使用插件程序的文件，而你卻又沒有這個程序時，通常你會收到一個信息，詢問你是否需要下載該程序并安裝到你的電腦里。多數情況下安裝是自動運行的。

　　有時候，你會碰到一個需要在安裝前先進行解壓縮的下載文件。一旦安裝完畢，插件就會自動運行，無需你做任何事。

　　Many multimedia controls still need to be obtained from the developer but are installed automatically.

　　Shockwave is a good example of this. All you need to do is go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the ActiveX control. The rest happens automatically. The next time you go to a "Shocked" website， the Shockwave control loads and plays the movie.

　　Most plug-ins and controls can be downloaded for free on the Internet， although not all will work with every system. Some of them， for instance， only work with windows95.

　　許多多媒體的控制程序仍需從開發商處索取，不過都是自動安裝的。

　　Shockwave 就是這方面一個很好的例子。你所需要做的就是到Macromedia網站上點擊鏈接來安裝ActiveX控制程序，剩下的事自動就會完成。下次再到一個需要使Shockwave 的網站時，Shockwave控制程序就會自動裝載并播放電影。

　　大多數插件和控制程序可以從因特網上免費下載，盡管并非所有這些程序都會在每一個系統上正常運行。例如有些就只適用于視窗95.
