It is suggested that governments ought to make efforts to reduce the increasing gap between cities and countryside. They ought to set aside an appropriate fund for improvement of the standard of peasants' lives. They ought to invite some experts in agriculture to share their experiences, information and knowledge with peasants, which will contribute directly to the economic growth of rural areas.
建议政府应该努力减少正在拉大的城乡差距。应该划拨适当的资金提高农民的生活水平；应该邀请农业专家向农民介绍他们的经验，知识和信息，这些将有助于发展农村经济。

The American spymaster who built the Office of Strategic Services in the World War II and later laid the roots for the CIA was fascinated with information.
这位美国间谍大王对情报着迷，他曾经在第二次世界大战时建立了战略事务办公室，后来又为中央情报局的成立打下了基础。
Straitford president George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind of mutually reinforcing tool for both information collection and distribution, a spymaster's dream.
该公司的总裁乔治·弗莱德曼说，他把网络世界视为情报收集和情报发布两方面相互增强的工具，是间谍们的梦想。
"As soon as that report runs, we'll suddenly get 500 new internet sign-ups from Ukraine," says Friedman, a former political science professor.
“一旦这个报道发布，我们将从乌克兰突然新增500个浏览用户，”弗莱德曼，一位前政治科学教授说，“我们将听到其中一些人的回应。
"And we'll hear back from some of them." Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it can be difficult to tell good information from bad. That's where Straitford earns its keep.
”当然公开来源的谍报活动的确有它的风险，因为很难区分正确与错误的信息。这正是司特雷福公司挣饭吃的地方。
Specialisation can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientific knowledge.
专业化可被视为针对科学知识不断膨胀这个问题所做出的反应。
By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units, one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research.
通过将学科细化，个人能够继续处理这些不断膨胀的信息并将它们作为深入研究的基础。
But specialisation was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication.
但是专业化仅是科学领域内一系列影响交流过程的有关现象之一。
Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.
另一现象是科学活动的日益职业化。
A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide — the division of the world into the info(information) rich and the info poor.
今天，人们十分关注所谓的是信息差异问题——世界上信息资源丰富的地区和信息资源贫乏的地区之间的差异；
And that divide does exist today.
这个差异确实存在，
My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago.
我和我妻子20年前就曾谈及这个临近的危险。
What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces that work against the digital divide.
然而，那时还不太明显的是一些抵制信息差异的、新的积极因素。
There are reasons to be optimistic.
实际上我们是完全有理由感到乐观的。
"Important information can get buried in a sea of trivialities," says a law professor at Cornell Law School who helped draft the new guidelines.
康奈尔大学法学院一位参与起草新纲要的教授说，“重要的信息会淹没在细枝末节的汪洋之中”。
If the moderate end of the legal community has its way, the information on products might actually be provided for the benefit of customers and not as protection against legal liability.
如果该法律团体的这一适中的目的能够实现，产品上提供的警示信息实际上是用来保护消费者利益的，而不是为了避免公司承担法律责任的。
In the past year, however, software companies have developed tools that allow companies to "push" information directly out to consumers, transmitting marketing messages directly to targeted customers.
然而，在去年，软件公司开发出新的技术，这些技术使得公司可以将信息直接“推出”给消费者，直接把营销信息传送给特定的用户。
Most notably, the Pointcast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers' computer monitors.
最突出的例子是Pointcast网络，该网络使用一种屏幕保护系统，将大量最新的信息和广告不断地传送到用户的计算机显示器上。
Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company's Web site.
用户可以定制自己想要接受的信息，然后直接进入某个公司的网址。
But push technology has earned the contempt of many Web users.
但这种“推”销技术遭到许多网上用户的鄙视。
Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request.
网上文化推崇这样一个概念，即流动到屏幕上的信息应是在专门的请求之后才出现的。
Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the Web and television fades.
一旦商业促销不请自来地充斥电脑屏幕，那么网络和电视就没多大差别了。
Defenders of science have also voiced their concerns at meetings such as "The Flight from Science and Reason," held in New York City in 1995, and "Science in the Age of (Mis) information," which assembled last June near Buffalo.
科学的捍卫者们也在一些会议上表示了他们的担忧。比如，1995年在纽约举行的“远离科学和理性”会议，以及去年6月在布法罗附近召开的“信息（迷信）时代的科学”会议。
When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell.
当你为自己的能力和欲望仔细地筹划了一幅蓝图后，你就有实在的东西可以兜售了。
Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job.
那时你就准备去找工作，先搜集有关你想找的工作的所有信息，
Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm.
对工作和公司的详情进行调查，
Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgement.
留心看与听，使用你的判断能力。
Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.
每天花一定的时间寻找你想要的工作，请记住：找工作就是你现在的工作。
If its message were confined merely to information — and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the colour of a shirt is subtly persuasive — advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention.
如果广告的内容仅仅限于提供信息（虽说这不是不可能做到的，但它本身也是很难做的，因为哪怕是挑衬衫颜色这样的细节也带有几分劝诱性），那会令人生厌，以致没人再去理会。
But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants.
但也许这就是那位著名电视人所希望看到的。
Where to turn for expert information and how to determine which expert advice to accept are questions facing many people today.
去哪儿寻找专家信息，如何确定接受哪条专家建议成了当今许多人面临的问题。
As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable.
随着家庭远离稳定的社区、多年的朋友。大家庭的种种关系，非正式的信息交流被切断了。同时在需要时就能得到可靠可信的信息的信心也随之丧失了。
The almost unconscious flow of information about the simplest aspects of living can be cut off.
关于生活最基本的方方面面的信息的无意识交流也被切断。
Adding to social changes today is an enormous stockpile of information. The individual now has more information available than any generation, and the task of finding that one piece of information relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated, time-consuming and sometimes even overwhelming.
除了当今的社会变化之外，还有信息量巨大的问题。今天，个人可获得的信息比任何时代的人都多，而要找到一条与自己问题相关的信息既复杂又耗时，有时甚至相当困难。
Coupled with the growing quantity of information is the development of technologies which enable the storage and delivery of more information with greater speed to more locations than has ever been possible before.
伴随着信息量不断增长的是技术的发展，这些技术使得人们能够比过去以更快的速度往更多的地方储存和发送更多的信息，这在以前是不可能的。
Computer technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in machine-readable files, and to program computers to locate specific information.
计算机技术使人们可以把大量的数据储存到机读文件里，还能通过计算机编程找到某一信息。
Technology has facilitated the sharing of information and the storage and delivery of information, thus making more information available to more people.
技术的发展促进了信息分享、信息存储和信息传递，这就使更多的人得到更多
的信息。
In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest importance.
在这个多变而又复杂的世界里，对信息的要求最为重要。
Those people who have accurate, reliable up-to-date information to solve the day-to-day problems, the critical problems of their business, social and family life, will survive and succeed.
那些拥有准确、可信、最新信息并用来解决日常问题、工作中的重要问题以及社会和家庭问题的人就能生存下去并取得成功。
"Knowledge is power" may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of all people.
“知识就是力量”是再正确不过了，获取信息也许是所有人最迫切的要求。
This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.
这些信息通过显示销售商品的种类和销售速度，使商家能够跟踪和记录它们的商品清单，然后做出决定是再定货还是把商品退给供应商。
