问题     Computers have brought about many changes in language. With the invention and use of the computer, an entire new vocabulary has developed — words which describe the computer and its functions, or relate to a computer technology in some way. Such words include "software", the term used to refer to computer "program". "Software" is generally contrasted with "hardware", the actual physical parts of the computer system. "Debug" is another term that came into use with computers. It means to locate and remove all mistakes in a computer program. Other computer related words are not really new, but take on a special meaning in terms of computers. For example, "up" and "down", used in reference to computers, do not signify partial relationships. Instead the term "up" means :.hat the computer is "up" and working, while the term "down" means the opposite, that the computer is not functioning and cannot be used.
    Other influences in language brought about by computer technology involve words which have become exclusively associated with computers, although they retain their original meanings. One such word is "user", while "user" really means "one who uses something", today it very often refers to a person using a computer. Associated with the word "user" is the term "user friendly". This is currently a very popular expression meaning that the computer can be easily understood and operated by nontechnical, "non-computer" people.
In computer technology, some ordinary words in our language such as "up" and "down" may______.
选项 A、drop out their original meanings
B、keep their original meanings
C、be regarded as new words
D、have some new senses added to their original meanings
答案D
