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.

A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter.
一个人到了天堂,由圣彼得带着他参观。
He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on.
他看到了豪华的住宅、美丽的花园、晴朗的天气等等。
Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself.
所有人都很安静、礼貌和友善,然而当这位新来的人在排队等候午餐时,突然被一位穿白大褂的人推到一旁。
只见这人挤到了队伍的前头,抓起他的食物,噔噔地旁若无人地走到一张餐桌旁。
"Who is that?" the new arrival asked St. Peter. "Oh, that's God," came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."
“这是谁啊?”新来的人问圣彼得,“哦,那是上帝,”他回答说,“但有时也认为自己是一名医生。”

There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow.

As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the interest of business to universalize access — after all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are.

The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America's industrial decline.
80年代中期,人们对美国工业衰退的成因作了一次又一次的探寻。
Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.

他们对战斗的描述确实让人很难理解。
But it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river — and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers: "Pluff! Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms."
但是读到一句描写战斗的诗行的注解时,则令人有点生厌,注解中说该诗描写了一名土耳其军官和一名保加利亚军官在一座桥上发生了搏斗,结果双双从桥上掉进河中——结果,诗把他们两人落水的声音和体重写在了一起:“扑通!扑通!185公斤。”

And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop in silicon.
计算能力的成本持续自由下降,这对任何建立了网上销售的企业来说都是个好的征兆。
People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge.

Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group's on-line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: "We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history."
几乎同时,该消息就出现在互联网上。身处地球另一端的加拿大死亡权利执行主席约翰·霍夫塞斯在收到该消息后便通过协会的在线服务“死亡之网”发了公告。他说:“我们整天都在发布公告,因为这件事的意义不在于它是在澳大利亚发生的事情,而是因为这是世界历史的一件大事。”

Levin asserted that "music is not the cause of society's ills" and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students.
莱文宣称“音乐不是社会问题的病因”,他甚至还以自己为例。他的儿子是纽约州布朗克斯的一个教师,用说唱乐的表达方式与学生进行交流。
But he talked as well about the "balanced struggle" between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he announced that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music.
但他也谈到了创作自由和社会责任之间要“保持平衡”的问题。他还宣布公司将致力于为一些人们可能会反感的音乐制定发行和标识的标准。

我们今天在电脑领域中所看到的-在网上重新表示的每一件事物,从我们娱乐和学习的方式到我们购物和炒股的方式-可以代表一个改天换地的转变,不亚于很久以前那次壮观的生命突变。
