优素福﹕图书馆现在和以前一定大不相同了。
jim: i'll say. you don't go to a card catalogue any more. they've got what they call an online public access catalogue.
吉姆﹕不错。现在不用卡式图书搜寻目录了。他们有所谓在线公共搜寻目录。
youssef: so you use a computer to access it and find the book you want?
优素福﹕是用计算机接连目录，搜寻书本？
jim: that's right. and the great thing is, you don't even have to go to the library for that anymore. you can access the online public access catalogue from your pc at home.
吉姆﹕对。最妙的是，你现在甚至不必上图书馆找书，可以用家里的个人计算机，接连在线公共搜寻目录。
