agree Julia Zou : 我查了一下,网上的解释是“用来测试beta 版软体的电脑”,意思和Billychang的差不多。但是billy的翻译太长了,似乎不可取。billy, 不要打我哟。:-) 还是觉得Shaunna的“敢死机/试毒机 ”比较符合上下文的意思,而且也很简洁。

Fron FOLDOC: "crash-and-burn machine" is reported for a computer used exclusively for alpha or beta testing, or reproducing bugs (i.e. not for development). The implication is that it wouldn't be such a disaster if that machine crashed, since only the testers would be inconvenienced.
