<span style="font-family:Courier">您好！ <br><br>不能买。请问，为什么你想OLPC的笔记本电脑？ <br><br>如果您要购买一部电脑，为您的研究，我建议得到一个正常的笔记本电脑从商店。 <br>
<br>如果您是一位工程师，并希望以义工，以协助开发，你可以写一封信，并要求如果你能借一台电脑。请看<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/developers_program" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/developers_program</a> 。 <br><br>对不起，我没有美丽的国语。这是我的第三语言。如果你给我发送电子邮件私下，我可以为您介绍OLPC的义工工程师们讲流利的中文。也许他们将能够帮助你的看法。</span><div>

<div><span style="font-family:Courier"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Courier">It is not possible to buy. May I ask why you want [to have] an OLPC laptop?</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Courier"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Courier">If you want to buy a computer for the reason of using it yourself in school, I suggest to get a normal laptop from a store.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Courier"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Courier">If you are an engineer (note: I don't know the word for "developer") and you want to volunteer to develop, you can email and ask if you can borrow a laptop. Please look at <a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developers_program" target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Developers_program</a>.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Courier;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Courier;">Please excuse me - my Chinese is ugly. It's my third language. If you email me privately off list (note: I definitely phrased this wrong), I can introduce you to some OLPC volunteer engineers (note: I still don't know the word for "developer") who speak Mandarin more fluently. They may be better able to help you out.</span></div>
