connect notepad/laptop with Bluetooth cell to get online

Explanation:
本子: notepad or laptop
接着xxx上网: conneted xxx to network, or conneted xxx online

试译：
I connected my notepad/laptop with the Bluetooth cell to get online...

当然连接、上网这些词可以有不同选词和组合方式，不过大概就是这个意思吧。

蓝牙：Bluetooth一种廉价的短距（10米以内）无线连接技术
手机蓝牙接着本子上网：手机通过蓝牙无线接品与本子（笔记本电脑）相连，手机本身自带无线上网，电脑通过蓝牙与手机连通，供助手机的无线上网接口连上互联网。这里的蓝牙连接和手机上网是两种无线网络连接，蓝牙只是手机和电脑之间的连接。

由于不是什么专业文档，我觉得大致写明白就行了。

Thanks, everyone. My main problem was with '本子'. I didn't know it means 'laptop'.

By the way, I think it is okay to use 'cell' instead of 'cell phone'. :p

-> 感谢回复，我已经解释了，这篇不是技术文章，没必要在技术问题上较真，如果写全了，句子就太长了。cell phone确实准确些，不过cell单独也可以当手机用，算一种非正式用法（这篇体裁就是非正式的），并非必须写成cell phone，这您可以查查。还有，Bluetooth的B应该大写，Bluetooth源自一个叫Bluetooth的欧洲国王。相互挑挑错，讨论讨论也很有意思。

connect laptop to internet using mobile phone via bluetooth

Explanation:
本子=notebook/laptop

意思分析：
1.通过手机上的无线上网功能，（着取决于该手机用户所参加的公司是否提供该项服务），通过把手机跟电脑连接起来，是手机成为一个Modem的作用，以便电脑可以上网。
2. 如何建立电脑和手机之间的联系呢？以前通常用“连线“cable，让手机通过连线跟电脑联系起来。也就是说可以做到connect laptop/or desktop computer to internet using mobile phone via cable
3. 当手机和电脑上都有了“蓝牙/bluetooth”这个技术后，注意，这里是双方面的，手机和电脑两者都得要有蓝牙才可以。所以，问题中提到的那种现象，其实就是说，一台由蓝牙功能的电脑，跟一只由蓝牙功能的手机之间，通过蓝牙这个无线传输功能，使电脑和手机之间建立连接，然后，利用手机上可以上网的功能，使手机成为电脑上网的modem。

图解如下：电脑（通过蓝牙技术）<-----> 手机（通过蓝牙技术），它们之间建立联系。然后，才是电脑<-------------->手机<--------------------------->internet
(bluetooth) (dial-up or mobile internet)

让我们共同提高，不妨分析一下其他的翻译
译文一：connect notepad/laptop with Bluetooth cell to get online
1. bluetooth cell 的表达不妥当，应该是bluetooth cell phone.
2. connect laptop with bluetooth cell phone to get online, 没有准确反映出上面解释过的那个事实的核心。这个翻译，只是说一台电脑，通过一台带有蓝牙功能的手机，来上网。其中不排除这种可能：connect laptop to internet with bluetooth mobile phone via cable. 虽然手机有蓝牙功能，可是不一定要用它，及时有蓝牙，也可以用cable来连接。其二，手机有蓝牙功能，不等于那台laptop就一定有蓝牙功能，很多旧型号的laptop是没有蓝牙功能的，除非接上一个附属装置，例如bluetooth dongle, 那么，手提电脑才会有蓝牙功能。

*********

译文二：“Connect laptop to the internet through bluetooth on mobile phone“
真正让电脑能连接到internet的东西，不是那个“bluetooth“，而是那台带有上网功能的手机。如果那台手机的没有上网服务，那么，即使有蓝牙，电脑跟手机之间可以建立“电脑<---->手机”之间的联系，但是，电脑却上不了网，因为那台手机没有上网服务。

To lbone: 您说：“感谢回复，我已经解释了，这篇不是技术文章，没必要在技术问题上较真，如果写全了，句子就太长了。另外，cell单独也可以当手机用，并非必须写成cell phone，这您可以查查。还有，Bluetooth的B应该大写，Bluetooth源自一个叫Bluetooth的欧洲国王。讨论讨论也很有意思。”

回复：关于“cell”可以单独用，就可以指“手机”。您是从哪里得到这个观点的呢？我几乎天天在跟“手机”行业打交道，却没有听说过一次，有人这么说过。一个“cell”可以代表一个Cell phone。这是从实际生活中的经历来说，第二，从语言角度看，cell 单独就表示“cell phone”这个观点几乎不会有什么支持的证据。
2. 您说bluetooth 要大写，这个倒是正确的提醒。谢谢。
