經(jīng)典名人英語演講稿46：互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時代（思科公司首席執(zhí)行官約翰.錢伯斯2001年秋季計算機商業(yè)博覽會演講） mp3
46. The Age of Internet
46. 互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時代
Over 70% of the company's representatives in this room will tell you perhaps the most critical factor that is limiting the growth of their ability to get quality-employees. And you might think it's only high-tech phenomena. That is not true. The exact same thing is true of manufacturing operations world-wide.
70%以上在座的公司代表會告訴你：限制能力增長最重要的因素可能是在員質(zhì)量。你也許會認為這僅僅是高科技產(chǎn)業(yè)的現(xiàn)象。其實不然，全世界制造業(yè)也是如此。
The lesson learned is very simple: either we got to learn how to train our employees and prepared our employees better, or the high technology, productivity and production will go to other economics around the world. It is a matter of survival. In short, we got to do a better job around the world preparing our students of where the jobs are.
道理很簡單：我們或者學會怎樣培訓我們的員工使他們更好，或者讓高科技、高生產(chǎn)率和產(chǎn)品流入世界其他國家。這是生死存亡的問題。一句話，我們必須在所需工作崗位之處更好地培養(yǎng)能勝任的員工。
And as you begin to look about the global economy. Companies are gonna move the employees because they have to either those states with the best education and the employees are or to those countries. And the US will not be competitive even though we might have the best productivity tools because over time all the other companies around the world who are growing are about to love them.
但是如果你開始關注全球經(jīng)濟，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)公司會解雇自己的員工，因為他們相比于其他洲甚至其他國家的員工來說沒有高學歷。于是盡管美國有世界上最好的生產(chǎn)工具，美國也不能成為世界上最有競爭力的國家，因為世界上其他的公司也會在發(fā)展中擁有此技術。
A generation of people who really learn how to use this technology and countries will just like Industrial Revolutions in some ways would determine which countries had the high standard of living and best workforce that it is empowered and rewarded in achieving that which countries get left behind. In short, the Internet will change everything. We started off by saying the Industrial Revolution brought together the change and the people and the factories. Internet revolution brings us together people, information and virtual companies around the world. And our role is the company if we execute properly is to enable the Internet generation.
實際上，這一代人誰真正會用這種技術，那么他們的國家也許會和工業(yè)革命時期一樣，決定哪個國家擁有更好的生活條件和最優(yōu)的勞動力，決定國家的優(yōu)勝劣負。總之，網(wǎng)絡會改變一切。我們開始說工業(yè)革命讓人民、工廠等發(fā)生改變，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)革命也會把全世界的人們、信息以及虛擬公司集合在一起，而我們在公司里扮演的恰當?shù)慕巧褪鞘够ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)一代變得強大。
