How a Password Changed My Life 密码如何改变我的生活 I was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. “Your password has expired,” a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn’t seem like a big deal, unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one numeral. Oh, and the whole darn thing can’t be fewer than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months. 在我坐到办公电脑面前之前我都有一个愉快的早晨，直到电脑屏幕前跳出来一条服务信息，上面写着“您的密码已经失效”，提示我修改密码。想出一个新密码似乎并不是什么难事，除非你在我们公司上班，因为在这里我们不得不每月修改一次密码，还得至少使用一个大写字母、一个小写字母，一个符号和一个数字。噢，对了，最气人的是密码还不能少于八个字符，以及不能使用在过去三个月内曾使用过的密码。 Suddenly I was furious. What didn’t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. Disbelief over what she had done to me was all I thought about. Every day. 我突然觉得很愤怒，尤其在我最近刚离婚，意志正消沉的情况下，更让我感觉不好了。我每天想着的就是怀疑前妻对我做过的那些事情。 |
