the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese.
(94) Digital photography is still new enough that most of us have yet to
form an opinion about it, much less develop a point of view. But this hasn’t
stopped many film and computer buffs from agreeing on the early conventional
wisdom about digital cameras--they’re neat peripherals for your PC, but they’re
not suitable for everyday picture-taking. The buffs are wrong:
the smart money is on digital cameras--or soon will be. (95) The latest
digital cameras cost hundreds, not thousands, of dollars and they more closely
emulate the picture quality we’ve come to expect from film cameras. But more
than anything else, digital cameras are radically redefining what photography
means and what it can be. Film and prints are not going away any
time soon. (96) But even with improvements the venerable medium of
photography as we know it is beginning to seem out of step with the way we
live. In our computer and camcorder culture, saving pictures as digital
files and watching them on TV is for millions of Americans no less
practical--and in many ways a lot more appealing--than fumbling with rolls of
film that must be sent off to be developed. Paper is also
terribly unforgiving. (97) Pictures that are incorrectly framed, focused, or
lighted are nonetheless committed to film and ultimately processed into
prints. The digital medium changes the rules. Still images
that are captured digitally (with light sensitive semiconductors known as a
charge-coupled devices, or CCDs) can immediately be shown on a computer monitor,
a TV screen, or a small liquid-crystal display (LCD) built right into the
camera. (98) And since the points of light that constitute an image are saved
as a series of digital bits in electronic memory, rather than being permanently
etched onto film, they can be erased, retouched, and transmitted
online.
