In the past three or four years, the world wide web has given birth to a whole industry of point-and-click spying.
在过去的三四年中，国际互联网已经派生出一个可称为点击谍报的完整的产业。
The spooks call it "open source intelligence," and as the Net grows, it is becoming increasingly influential.
间谍们把它称为“公开来源情报”。随着互联网的增长，这样的情报变得越来越有影响力。
Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view.
你的幽默必须与听众有关，能够向他们显示你是他们的一员，或者你了解他们的情况，同情他们的观点。
The official statistics are mildly discouraging.
官方的统计数字却有点不让人乐观。
They show that, if you lump manufacturing and services together, productivity has grown on average by 1.2% since 1987.
这些数据表明，如果把制造业和服务业合起来算，1987年以来生产力平均增长1.2%。
That is somewhat faster than the average during the previous decade.
这比前10年的平均增长速度略快。
And since 1991, productivity has increased by about 2% a year, which is more than twice the 1978-1987 average.
自1991年来，生产力每年约增长2%。这比1978年—1987年的平均增长速度高两倍以上。
The trouble is that part of the recent acceleration is due to the usual rebound that occurs at this point in a business cycle, and so is not conclusive evidence of a revival in the underlying trend.
问题在于，近年发生的生产力快速增长部分是由于商业周期通常到了这时候就会出现的反弹造成的，因而它不是经济复苏已经是潜在趋势的结论性证据。
There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a "disjunction" between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in productivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.
正如财政部长罗伯特·鲁宾所说的，生产力发生飞跃的商业传奇与统计数字所反映的情况之间存在着一种“脱节”。
For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.
对于居住于达尔文现年54岁的肺癌患者利奥德·尼克森来说，这个法律意味着他可以平静地生活下去而无须整天惧怕即将来临的苦难：因呼吸困难而在煎熬中痛苦地死去。“从思想上说，我并不害怕死，但我怕的是怎样死，因为我在医院看到过病人在缺氧时苦苦挣扎，用手抓他们的面罩时的情景，”他说。
It is also less than most forecasters had predicted.
这也低于许多预测者预测的数字。
In late 1994 the panel of economists which The Economist polls each month said that America's inflation rate would average 3.5% in 1995.
1994年底，每月接受《经济学家》意见调查的一组经济学家指出，美国在1995年的平均通货膨胀率将达到3.5％。
In fact, it fell to 2.6% in August, and is expected to average only about 3% for the year as a whole. In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage point below the rate predicted at the end of last year.
实际上，8月份就降到了2.6％。而且有望达到全年平均仅为3％。去年年底，英国和日本的通货膨胀率实际上比预测的要低半个百分点。
This is no flash in the pan; over the past couple of years, inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.
这不是昙花一现。在过去几年里，英国和美国的通货膨胀率始终低于预测水平。
Given this optimistic approach to technological innovation, the American worker took readily to that special kind of nonverbal thinking required in mechanical technology.
有了这种对技术革新的乐观态度，美国工人很快便习惯了机械技术需要的那种特别的非语言的思维方式。
As Eugene Ferguson has pointed out, "A technologist thinks about objects that cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in his mind by a visual, nonverbal process... The designer and the inventor... are able to assemble and manipulate in their minds devices that as yet do not exist."
正如尤金·弗格森曾指出的：“技术人员思考那些不能被简化成功用明确的语言进行描述的物体；这些物体在他的头脑中以视觉性的、非语言性的方式被处理加工……设计者和发明者……能把那些尚不存在的机械在头脑中组装和操作。”
There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on.
我觉得有一点还得谈一谈。
Recently I heard a well-known television personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs.
最近我听到一位著名电视人宣称他反对广告，因为广告意在劝诱而非提供信息。
He was drawing excessively fine distinctions. Of course advertising seeks to persuade.
他把两者区分得过于细微，因为广告不可避免地要劝说消费者。
"Changes are a normal part of the evolutionary process," says oncologist William Hayward.
“变化是进化过程中的一个正常部分，”肿瘤专家威廉·海沃德说道。
Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out, "We can't prepare a medicine against cosmic rays."
环境因素永远无法完全消除，正如海沃德所指出的那样：“我们无法准备出一种抗宇宙射线的药。”
The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take the most shots at the goal — and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity.
问题在于得分最多者正是那些射门次数最多的球员，而任何领域的创新活动都是如此。
