Because of the high cost of these early computers, idle time was undesirable. 由于这些早期计算机价格高昂,所以(现)置时间是人们所不期望的。
The alternative to this treatment would be to charge the cost of idle time to a particular job that happens to be in process when the idle time occurs. 替代了这一待遇,将收取闲置费时间,以某一特定的工作,刚巧是在过程中,当空闲时间出现。
Charging the cost of the idle time resulting from such a random event to only the job that happened to be in process at the time would overstate the cost of that job. 收取上述费用的空闲时间所造成的,例如一个随机事件只是工作,刚巧在过程上的时间会夸大成本这项工作。
