Scientists Argue About Microsoft's New Computer
科學家對微軟的新電腦產生爭議
Introduction
Some scientists say Microsoft's new quantum computer chips do not work.
一些科學家表示微軟的新量子電腦晶片無法運作。
Main Body
Microsoft wants to use special particles for its computers. These particles make computers fast and stable. But Dr. Henry Legg says Microsoft has no proof. He thinks the results are just mistakes.
微軟希望將特殊的粒子用於其電腦中。這些粒子能讓電腦速度更快且更穩定。但 Henry Legg 博士表示微軟並沒有提供證據，他認為這些結果僅僅是錯誤。
Other scientists are also worried. Some old reports from Microsoft were wrong. Microsoft says the chips work well. They gave their data to a government group to check it.
其他科學家也同樣擔心。微軟過去的一些報告曾出現錯誤。微軟則稱晶片運作良好，並已將數據提交給政府機構進行核對。
The US government is giving 2 billion dollars to help build these computers. They want a working system by 2028. Microsoft wants to build a big computer by 2029.
美國政府正撥款 20 億美元協助打造這些電腦。他們希望在 2028 年前完成一套可運作的系統。微軟則計畫在 2029 年打造一台大型電腦。
Conclusion
Microsoft says its plan is correct, but other scientists still disagree.
微軟表示其計畫是正確的，但其他科學家仍持有異議。
Vocabulary Learning
🔍 The Power of 'SOME' and 'OTHER'
In this story, we see a fight between two groups. To describe these groups without naming every single person, we use these two words:
Some A few people (not all).
- "Some scientists say..."
- "Some old reports..."
Other The different people in the group.
- "Other scientists are also worried."
💡 Quick Rule for A2:
When you have a group of people, start with Some and move to Other to show a contrast.
Example:
- Some students like English.
- Other students like Math.
🛠️ Words that show 'Conflict':
Notice these words in the text that tell us people do not agree:
- Argue To fight with words.
- Disagree To have a different opinion.
- Worried To feel nervous or scared about something.
