[00:19.62]很多學(xué)校都有自己的網(wǎng)站了。
[00:21.63]A:That's true, but when I was in high school, we just had a few computers, and now it looks like the whole school is computerized.
[00:28.98]是啊，以前念高中時(shí)學(xué)校只有寥寥幾臺(tái)電腦，現(xiàn)在好象整個(gè)學(xué)校都電腦化了。

[00:47.75]A:Web design?That sounds like work for a spider?
[00:50.95]網(wǎng)頁設(shè)計(jì)？聽起來好象在替蜘蛛工作。
[00:54.15]B:I'm talking about designing pages for the World Wide Web; the Internet.

[01:13.72]不是每家公司都需要網(wǎng)站，不過在很多方面倒是很有幫助的。
[01:18.65]For instance , many people search the web when they are looking for a place to buy something.
[01:22.35]譬如說，有很多人想買東西時(shí)就會(huì)上網(wǎng)搜索，
[01:26.05]and if your company has a good web site ,you are much more likely to get that customer's business.
[01:30.89]如果你的公司有個(gè)不錯(cuò)的網(wǎng)站，生意就很可能做起來了。

[02:45.41]克林頓總統(tǒng)將向全國(guó)會(huì)提出關(guān)于電信的立法和行政的一攬子建議。
[02:51.08]These changes coming in the related fields of telecommunications and computing and telephony and other related fields.
[02:56.60]電信、計(jì)算機(jī)和電話以及其他相關(guān)領(lǐng)域技術(shù)的發(fā)展
[03:02.13]are going to make up one of the most powerful revolutions in the entire history of human kind.
[03:05.97]將共同形成人類歷史上一次最強(qiáng)大的革命。
[03:09.81]Today most people are primarily receivers of information through the electronic media.
[03:13.65]今天，大多數(shù)人主要是通過電子媒體接收信息。
[03:17.49]We watch television,we listen to the radio.
[03:19.90]比如看電視、聽收音機(jī)。
[03:22.32]In this coming decade,we will each transmit more and more information as well over the same lines of communication.
[03:27.84]今后十年，我們將在相同的通信路上傳輸更多的信息。
[03:33.37]We'll send and receive not just on the telephone as we do now,but across the full range of the new technologies.
[03:38.03]我們不只是像現(xiàn)在這樣通過電話來發(fā)送和接收信息，而是要使用各種新技術(shù)。
[03:42.69]Each person will turn from being Just a consumer to being a consumer and a provider.
[03:46.94]每個(gè)人都將從單純的用戶變成既是用戶又是信息的提供者。
[03:51.18]In a way this change represents anther kind of enpowerment.
[03:54.29]這一變化在某種意義上代表了另一種授權(quán)。
[03:57.40]The quality revolution in the factory treats each individual as a source of added value.
[04:01.33]工廠的質(zhì)量革命將每一部門視為一個(gè)增值源。
[04:05.26]The communications revolution recognizes each individual as a source of information that adds value to our community and to our economy.
[04:12.40]通信革命則將每一部門視為社會(huì)和經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長(zhǎng)值信息源。
[04:19.53]Interactive television will mean holding a business meeting without leaving your living room.
[04:22.95]交互式電視將意味著不離開起居室就能召開工作會(huì)議。
[04:26.37]It will mean that people at home can use the television set not simply as passive entertainment but as an active tool.
[04:32.40]這是說家用電視不僅僅是消極的娛樂，而是一個(gè)有用的工具。
[04:38.44]These changes are coming not over night or out of the blue,rather they are the outgrowth of a steady series of changes that encompass much of our history-2-.
[04:45.20]正在發(fā)生的這些變化不是一個(gè)晚上或突然間就可以實(shí)現(xiàn)的，而是在經(jīng)歷了一系列重大變化的基礎(chǔ)上產(chǎn)生的結(jié)果。
[04:51.97]not
[04:53.69]It used to be that nations were more or less successful in their competition with other nations depending upon the quality of their transportation infrastructure.
[04:59.59]過去的情形是一個(gè)國(guó)家在與其它國(guó)家的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中取勝的程度取決于其運(yùn)輸基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的質(zhì)量。
[05:05.48]The nation with the best deep water ports or the most efficient railroads had a competitive advantage over others.
[05:10.78]具有深水良港和高效鐵路的國(guó)家也擁有戰(zhàn)勝其它國(guó)家的強(qiáng)大優(yōu)勢(shì)。
[05:16.08]And we began to think of infrastructure in those terms.
[05:18.32]因而我們開始考慮這方面的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。
[05:20.55]After WWII when tens of millions of American families first purchased automobiles.
[05:24.24]二戰(zhàn)時(shí)，千萬個(gè)美國(guó)家庭首先購買了汽車，
[05:27.94]and thousands of businesses began to rely on trucks every single day.
[05:31.00]上千家企業(yè)每天都離不開卡車，
[05:34.05]we quickly found our network of two lane highway to be hopelessly inadequate.
[05:37.80]在此之后，我們很快發(fā)現(xiàn)，兩車道公路網(wǎng)絡(luò)是滿足不了要求的。
[05:41.55]And so we built a network of interstate highways and that contributed enormously to our post war economic dominance of the world.
[05:47.17]因而又建造了州際高速公路網(wǎng)絡(luò)，此舉極大地促進(jìn)了戰(zhàn)后我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)主導(dǎo)地位。
[05:52.78]Today,commerce rolls not just on asphalt highways but along information highways
[05:56.48]當(dāng)今商業(yè)動(dòng)作不僅是在瀝青高速公路上，也要在信息高速公路上進(jìn)行，
[06:00.18]and tens of millions of American families and businesses now use computers,
[06:03.47]幾千萬美國(guó)家庭和商業(yè)目前都使用著計(jì)算機(jī)，
[06:06.76]and find that the two lane information roads built for telephone service are no longer adequate.
[06:10.60]并且發(fā)現(xiàn)用于電話業(yè)務(wù)的兩道信息公路已遠(yuǎn)不能滿足需求。
[06:14.44]It's not that we have a shortage of information.
[06:16.58]并不是缺少信息。
[06:18.72]Indeed,we often now have a lot more than we know what to do with...
[06:21.87]相反，我們所得到的信息多得常常使我們不知所措。
[06:25.02]Take just one brief example:the LandSat satellite.
[06:27.58]興一個(gè)LanSat衛(wèi)星的簡(jiǎn)單的例子。
[06:30.14]We're trying to understand the global environment,
[06:32.70]我們想探測(cè)全球環(huán)境，
[06:35.26]and the LandSat satellite is capable of taking a complete photograph of the earth surface every eighteen days,
[06:39.83]LanSat衛(wèi)星能每隔18天拍攝一次地表面的完整照片，
[06:44.40]and it's been up there for twenty years.
[06:46.54]此項(xiàng)任務(wù)已經(jīng)進(jìn)行了二十年。
[06:48.69]And yet 95 per cent of all of the images it has made have never been seen by human eyes...
[06:53.26]大約該衛(wèi)星拍攝的照片有95％是人所從未見過的。
[06:57.83]Now,we have an insatiable hunger for knowledge,as we try to find the information we need to solve the challenging problems that confront us.
[07:04.27]現(xiàn)在當(dāng)我們?cè)O(shè)法找到解決我們所遇到的挑戰(zhàn)性問題的信息時(shí)我們對(duì)知識(shí)的渴求永無止境。
[07:10.71]And yet in many cases the information just sits rotting away unused.
[07:14.04]但是在許多情況下這些信息卻是閑置著以至失去價(jià)值。
[07:17.37]Not
[07:20.11]In order to communicate richly detailed images of a kind that allow us to deal with large quantities of information,
[07:24.59]為了以一種使我們能夠處理大量信息的方式傳播細(xì)節(jié)翔實(shí)的圖像，
[07:29.07]we have to combine two technologies:First,computers and then transmission lines or networks.
[07:33.77]必須將兩種技術(shù)結(jié)合在一起：首先是計(jì)算機(jī)，其次是傳輸線路或網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
[07:38.48]Computers now have a rapidly growing capacity to transform data into recognizable patterns or images that allow us to use them handily.
[07:45.19]計(jì)算機(jī)在將數(shù)據(jù)變換成我們可靈活運(yùn)用的可識(shí)別的圖形或圖像方面的能力正在快速地增長(zhǎng)。
[07:51.90]In order to communicate those images,or those conglomerations of vast quantities of data among ourselves,
[07:56.38]為了在我們之間傳輸這些圖像或大量數(shù)據(jù)塊，
[08:00.86]we need networks capable of carrying those images to every hosue and business.
[08:04.34]需要能將這些圖像傳送到每人家庭和部門的網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
[08:07.81]We know how to do that technologically,
[08:09.82]我們知道在技術(shù)上如何實(shí)現(xiàn)這一任務(wù)，
[08:11.83]but in order to accomplish it we have to unscramble the legal,regulatory and financial problems
[08:16.26]但為了完成它，我們還必須弄清楚法律上、規(guī)章和財(cái)政上的問題。
[08:20.69]that have thus far threatened our ability to complete such a network.
[08:23.34]這些問題迄今仍是我們實(shí)現(xiàn)這一網(wǎng)絡(luò)任務(wù)的障礙。
[08:25.99]we are already using it to communicate in ways that enrich and even save our lives.
[08:29.69]我們已經(jīng)在使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)通信豐富乃至拯救生活。
[08:33.38]All of these application will enhance the quality of life and spur economic growth.
[08:37.13]所有這些應(yīng)用提高了生活質(zhì)量，促進(jìn)了經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)民展。
[08:40.88]Over half of the U.S.work force is now in jobs that are information based.
[08:44.40]在美國(guó)半數(shù)以上的人在從事以信息為基礎(chǔ)的工作。
[08:47.91]The telecommunication and information sector of the U.S.economy now accounts for 12 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product,
[08:53.67]美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)中，電信及信息方面占國(guó)民總值的12％，
[08:59.43]and is growing much faster than any other sector of our economy.
[09:02.12]并且其增長(zhǎng)速度比其它任何經(jīng)濟(jì)部門都快。
[09:04.81]Last year the revenues in this sector exceeded 700 billion dollars.
[09:08.23]去年這方面的稅收已超過七千億美元。
[09:11.65]We exported over 48 billion dollars of telecommunications equipment ablone.
[09:15.44]僅電信設(shè)備口即達(dá)480億美元。
[09:19.23]Today,more than ever,businesses run on information.
[09:21.88]當(dāng)今以至于今后，行業(yè)運(yùn)作更依賴于信息。
[09:24.53]A fast,flexible information network is as essential to manufacturing as steel and plastic.
[09:29.05]快速、靈活的信息網(wǎng)絡(luò)對(duì)于加工業(yè)，如鋼鐵和塑料是極其重要的。
[09:33.57]If we do not move decisively to ensure that America has the information infrastructure we need,every business and consumer in America will suffer...
[09:40.15]如果我們不果斷地設(shè)法保證美國(guó)所需要的信息基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，每個(gè)行業(yè)和用戶都將遭受。
[09:46.74]We must first udnerstand how the information market place will operate.
[09:49.88]我們首先應(yīng)該知識(shí)信息市場(chǎng)如何工作。
[09:53.03]One helpful way is to think of the national information infrastructure as a network of highways,much like the INTERSTATES of the 1950s.
[09:59.38]一種有用的方法是把國(guó)家信息基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施想像為50年代州際高速公路網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
[10:05.73]These are highways carrying information rather than people or goods.
[10:08.56]只不過這種高速公路運(yùn)載的是信息而不是人或貨物。
[10:11.40]Some highways will be made of fiber optics,others of coaxial cables,others will be wireless.
[10:16.15]某些高速公路將采用光纖，而其它的用同軸電纜，還有的用無線通信。
[10:20.90]But this is a key point:they must and will be two-way highways.
[10:24.23]但是關(guān)鍵的一點(diǎn)是：必須是雙向高速公路。
[10:27.57]So that each person will be able to send information in video form as well as just words,as well as receiving information.
[10:33.82]這樣，每個(gè)人能夠發(fā)送視頻信息和文字，同時(shí)能接收信息。
[10:40.08]These new information highways will be wider than today's technology permits.
[10:43.50]這些新的信息高速公路將比當(dāng)前技術(shù)所能達(dá)到的要寬。
[10:46.92]That's because of television program contains so many more bytes of information than a telephone conversation.
[10:51.90]這是因?yàn)殡娨暪?jié)目比電話通話所包含的信息字節(jié)多得多。
[10:56.87]And because new uses of video and voice and computers will consist of even more information moving at even faster speeds.
[11:02.67]也還因?yàn)樾峦度胧褂玫囊曨l和話音設(shè)備以及計(jì)算機(jī)將包含以更高速流動(dòng)的信息。
[11:08.47]This new information market place based on these highways include four major components.
[11:12.63]這種基于高速公路的新信息市場(chǎng)包括四個(gè)主要部分：
[11:16.78]First,the owners of the highways,because unlike the interstates,the information highways will be built,paid for and funded principally by the private sector.
[11:23.64]首先是高速公路的擁有者，與州際高速公路不同的是，信息高速公路將主要由私人投資建設(shè)。
[11:30.49]Second,the makers of information appliances,like telephones,televisions and computers,and the new products of the future that will combine aspects of all three.
[11:38.12]第二是信息設(shè)施的生產(chǎn)廠家，這些設(shè)施諸如電話，數(shù)字化圖書館，信息服務(wù)提供者以及幾百萬希望共享或出售信息的單個(gè)用戶。
[11:45.75]Third information providers;local broadcasters,digital libraries,information service providers and millions of individuals who will want to share or sell information.
[11:53.65]第三是信息的提供者：本地廣播電臺(tái)，數(shù)字化圖書館，信息服務(wù)提供者以及幾百萬希望共享或出售信息的單個(gè)用戶。
[12:01.55]And most important,fourth,information customers,who will justly demand privacy?Afford ability and choice.
[12:07.31]第四是最重要的信息的客戶，他們將正當(dāng)?shù)匾箅[私權(quán)，可承受性和選擇權(quán)。
[12:13.07]At some time in the next two decades,we will think about the information market place in terms of these four components.
[12:18.10]今后二十年的某個(gè)時(shí)候，我們將從四個(gè)方面去考慮信息市場(chǎng)。
[12:23.13]We will not talk about cable,or telephones,or cellular,or wireless,because there will be free and open competition between everyone who provides and delivers information.
[12:30.63]我們不會(huì)討論電纜，電話或蜂窩式電話或者無線電話，因?yàn)樵谌魏涡畔⑻峁┖桶l(fā)送信息者之間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是自由的，公開的。
[12:38.13]not
[12:40.58]We will not talk about cable,or telephones,or cellular,or wireless,because there will be free and open competition between everyone who provides and delivers information.
[12:47.48]我們不會(huì)討論電纜，電話或蜂窩式電話或者無線電話，因?yàn)樵谌魏涡畔⑻峁┖桶l(fā)送信息者之間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是自由的，公開的。
