If you are computer-literate, you can use a computer for ordinary work: open it, write something, send a message, find things on the internet. It does not mean you can write programs or mend a broken machine. It only means you are not lost in front of a screen.

If you are computer-literate如果你computer-literate（懂電腦）， you can use a computer for ordinary work就是可以用電腦做一般的事： open it, write something, send a message, find things on the internet像是開機、打字、傳訊息、在網路上找東西。 It does not mean you can write programs or mend a broken machine不代表你會寫程式，或會修壞掉的機器。 It only means you are not lost in front of a screen只是代表你坐在螢幕前面不會不知所措。

The word copies literate, which first meant “able to read and write,” and then people stretched it to “able to use this tool.” You see it on job ads and in school reports more than you hear it among friends.

The word copies literate這個字模仿literate（識字的）， which first meant "able to read and write,"原本的意思是「able to read and write」（能讀能寫）， and then people stretched it to "able to use this tool."後來大家把它延伸成「able to use this tool」（會用這個工具）。 You see it on job ads and in school reports你會在徵才廣告和學校報告上看到這個字 more than you hear it among friends比較不會在朋友之間的對話裡聽到。

Though actually, the bar keeps moving. What counted as computer-literate twenty years ago is basic now, and many young people barely use the word, because they assume everyone can already do this. Older speakers still use it for quite simple skills.

Though actually不過實際上， the bar keeps moving這個標準一直在往上調。 What counted as computer-literate twenty years ago二十年前算是computer-literate的標準 is basic now現在只是基本功， and many young people barely use the word很多年輕人幾乎不用這個字， because they assume everyone can already do this因為他們覺得大家本來就都會。 Older speakers still use it for quite simple skills年紀比較大的人還是會用這個字來講很簡單的技能。
