微软宣传口号：好系统，蓝屏的^_^当我们在使用Windows XP的时候，一个很常用的操作就是呼出“任务管理器”，这个时候我们会看到很多的程序在运行，这些正在运行的程序就被我们称为“系统进程”，这里的进程即为process也。在托福考试之中这个单词好像丝毫不起眼，但是如果我们仔细统计一下的话，竟然发现这个单词竟然出现过102次了，真是“扮猪吃老虎”的典型例子哦，不经意之间，ETS竟然已经将这个单词扔出了102次！那么这个单词都会出现在什么情况下呢？It has been estimated that an additional one-fourth of the Earth's land surface is threatened by this process.和The process perceived by these anthropologists may be summarized briefly.还有Even if this process proves successful, however, it would almost triple water costs.竟然还有The expenditure of energy is essentially a process of budgeting, just as finances are budgeted.细数一下，竟然横跨地理、人类学、物理学、经济学等多个领域，真是全能型选手哦，怪不得人家老人家怎么总能露脸呢。但是作为一个本分人，人家process老人家虽然贵有接近10条完全不同的词义，但是竟然只考察我们“步骤，进程”以及“加工”这几个意项，有鉴于此，无老师特意将“劳模奖”以及“老好人奖”颁发给process这个单词，希望他更好的为我们的考友服务。最后欢迎我们的大众情人，process为我们展示他的所有词义！
