Question

好心人帮我用英语翻译一下这段概述，谢谢。

当人们从不同的角度来描述这一概念时就有不同的定义(当然是描述性的)。例如，称数据库是一个“记录保存系统”(该定义强调了数据库是若干记录的集合)。又如称数据库是“人们为解决特定的任务，以一定的组织方式存储在一起的相关的数据的集合”(该定义侧重于数据的组织)。更有甚者称数据库是“一个数据仓库”。当然，这种说法虽然形象，但并不严谨。
严格地说，数据库是“按照数据结构来组织、存储和管理数据的仓库”。在经济管理的日常工作中，常常需要把某些相关的数据放进这样“仓库”，并根据管理的需要进行相应的处理。例如，企业或事业单位的人事部门常常要把本单位职工的基本情况(职工号、姓名、年龄、性别、籍贯、工资、简历等)存放在表中，这张表就可以看成是一个数据库。有了这个"数据仓库"我们就可以根据需要随时查询某职工的基本情况，也可以查询工资在某个范围内的职工人数等等。这些工作如果都能在计算机上自动进行，那我们的人事管理就可以达到极高的水平。此外，在财务管理、仓库管理、生产管理中也需要建立众多的这种"数据库"，使其可以利用计算机实现财务、仓库、生产的自动化管理。
J.Martin给数据库下了一个比较完整的定义：数据库是存储在一起的相关数据的集合，这些数据是结构化的，无有害的或不必要的冗余，并为多种应用服务；数据的存储独立于使用它的程序；对数据库插入新数据，修改和检索原有数据均能按一种公用的和可控制的方式进行。当某个系统中存在结构上完全分开的若干个数据库时，则该系统包含一个“数据库集合”。
数据库的主要特点
(1)实现数据共享。
数据共享包含所有用户可同时存取数据库中的数据，也包括用户可以用各种方式通过接口使用数据库，并提供数据共享。
(2)减少数据的冗余度。
同文件系统相比，由于数据库实现了数据共享，从而避免了用户各自建立应用文件。减少了大量重复数据，减少了数据冗余，维护了数据的一致性。
(3)数据的独立性。
数据的独立性包括数据库中数据库的逻辑结构和应用程序相互独立，也包括数据物理结构的变化不影响数据的逻辑结构。
(4)数据实现集中控制。
文件管理方式中，数据处于一种分散的状态，不同的用户或同一用户在不同处理中其文件之间毫无关系。利用数据库可对数据进行集中控制和管理，并通过数据模型表示各种数据的组织以及数据间的联系。
(5)数据一致性和可维护性，以确保数据的安全性和可靠性。
主要包括：①安全性控制：以防止数据丢失、错误更新和越权使用；②完整性控制：保证数据的正确性、有效性和相容性；③并发控制：使在同一时间周期内，允许对数据实现多路存取，又能防止用户之间的不正常交互作用；④故障的发现和恢复：由数据库管理系统提供一套方法，可及时发现故障和修复故障，从而防止数据被破坏

没多少悬赏，在新浪爱问我的分多，大家也可以去那翻译，谢谢。

Answer 1

When people from different perspectives to describe the concept has a different definition (of course, are descriptive). For example, saying the database is a "record-keeping system" (emphasis in the definition of the database is a collection of a number of records). Another example is the database that are "people to solve specific tasks, must be organized in a manner so as to store with a collection of relevant data" (the definition of focus on data organization). Even worse, said the database is "a data warehouse." Of course, this argument although the image, but not strict.
Strictly speaking, the database is "in accordance with the data structure to organize, store and manage data warehouses." In the economic management of their daily work, usually need to put some relevant data in such a "warehouse", and in accordance with management's need for appropriate treatment. For example, enterprises or institutions usually the personnel department to the basic conditions of employees (No. of workers, name, age, sex, native place, wages, curriculum vitae, etc.) stored in the table, this table can be seen as a database . With this "data warehouse" we can at any time necessary inquiries in accordance with the basic situation of a trade union, but also can search for wages at a certain number of employees within the scope of and so on. If these tasks can be automated in the computer on, and that U.S. personnel management can achieve very high levels. In addition, financial management, warehouse management, production management is also necessary to establish a large number of such "database" so that it can make use of the computer implementation of financial, warehouse, production automation management.
J. Martin to the database under a relatively complete definition: database are stored together a collection of relevant data, the data are structured, non-harmful or unnecessary redundancy, and for a variety of applications services; data storage independent of the use of its procedures; on the database to insert new data, modify and retrieve the original data were in accordance with a common and controlled manner. When a system structures exist on the number of completely separate database, the system contains a "database collection."
The main features of the database
(1) data sharing implementation.
Sharing of data includes all users can simultaneously access the data in the database, users can also include a variety of ways using the database through the interface and to provide data sharing.
(2) to reduce data redundancy.
Compared with the file system, because of the database implementation of data sharing, thus avoiding the user set up their own application files. Substantial reduction of duplicate data, reduced data redundancy, maintain data consistency.
(3) data independence.
The independence of data, including database logical structure of databases and applications independent of each other, but also physical changes in the structure of the data does not affect the logical structure of data.
(4) centralized control of data implementation.
Document management approach, the data in a decentralized status, different users or the same user at different treatment of no relation between their document. Use of the database, the data centralized control and management, and data model that the organization of various data and data linkages.
(5) data consistency and maintainability, to ensure data security and reliability.
Mainly include: ① security control: in order to prevent data loss, error updating and the use of ultra vires; ② the integrity of control: to ensure data accuracy, effectiveness and compatibility; ③ Concurrency Control: To enable at the same time period, allowing for achieve multiple access data, but also prevent users from abnormal interaction between; ④ fault discovery and recovery: from the database management system to provide a method to detect faults and repair, thereby preventing destruction of data

Little reward, at Sina love me question many of the points, we can go that translation, thank you.
