  2012年考研英語特訓:看閱讀背單詞(1)

  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. And that divide does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago. What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces that work against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic.

  There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow. As the internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in the Internet of business to universalize access-after all, the more people online, the more potential customers there are. More and more governments afraid their countries will be left behind want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that we've ever had.

  Of course, the use of the Internet isn't the only way to defeat poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential.

  To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure in the United States. When the United States built its industrial infrastructure, it didn't have the capital to do so. And that is why America's Second Wave infrastructure----- including roads, harbors, highways, ports and so on----- was built with foreign investment. The English, the Germans, the Dutch and the French were investing in Britain's former colony. They financed them. Immigrant Americans built them. Guess who owns them now? The Americans. I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil or anywhere else for that matter. The more foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure, which today is an electronic infrastructure, the better off you're going to be. That doesn't mean lying down and becoming fooled, or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled. But it does mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet.

  譯文

  今天,人們十分關注所謂的數(shù)字分化問題--世界分成信息富有和信息貧困兩部分。當今這種分化確實存在,我和妻子20年前就曾談到這一迫近的危險。然而,當時還不太明顯的是存在著一些新的積極因素來抵制數(shù)字分化。我們完全有理由感到樂觀。

  一些技術上的因素使我們有理由期望分化會縮小。隨著互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的日趨商業(yè)化,網(wǎng)上交易變得普及--畢竟,上網(wǎng)人數(shù)越來越多,潛在客戶就越多。越來越多的政府唯恐自己的國家落后,紛紛推廣互聯(lián)網(wǎng)接人。在一、二十年之內(nèi),全球?qū)⒂幸�、二十億人互聯(lián)。因此,我認為在未來的數(shù)年中,數(shù)字分化將縮小而不會變大。這是好消息,因為互聯(lián)網(wǎng)很可能成為與我們所面臨的貧困做斗爭的比較有力的工具。

  當然,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的使用不是消除貧困的唯一方法�;ヂ�(lián)網(wǎng)也不是我們所擁有的唯一工具,但它擁有巨大潛力。

  想要利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng),一些貧困國家就必須克服對國外投資所持有的那種過時的、反殖民的種種偏見。那些認為國外投資是對本國主權(quán)侵犯的國家比較好還是好好研究一下美國基礎設施的歷史。當初美國建立自己的工業(yè)基礎設施時,缺乏必要資金,因此美國的第二波基礎設施浪潮--包括公路、海港、高速公路、碼頭等等--都是用國外資金建造的。英國人、德國人、荷蘭人和法國人都在前英國殖民地投資。他們提供資金,美國移民者來建造。想想看,誰擁有這一切?是美國人。我想,就這一點來說,巴西或其他任何地方同樣也該這樣。在建設第三波基礎設施的浪潮(今天主要指電子基礎設施)中,擁有的國外資金越多,那么情況將會越好。這并不是要卑躬屈膝、認人愚弄,也不是對國外公司不加控制,而是意味著你已認識到國外公司對本國能源及通信基礎設施建設的重要性,而這些基礎設施則需要充分利用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。
