Some communities will allow anyone in;other s will restrict access to members who qualify on one basis or another.Those communities that prov e self-sustaining will prosper(and perhaps grow and split into subsets with ever-more-particular int erests and identities).Those that can't survive-either because people lose interest or get scared off--will simply wither away.译:一种真正的市场型管理模式很快成为可能。

在信息空间,我们将能够检验并完善所需要的管理制度----知识产权制度、服务内容与使用权的控制制度、个人隐私权与自由言论制度等。

有些群体允许任何人加入,而有些则只允许符合这样或那样条件的人加入。

能够自持的群体会兴旺发展(或许也会因为志趣与身份日趋特殊,而发展成为几个分支)。

Main Idea
This text defines the nature of cyberspace and holds that it is a voluntary destination. Cyberspace features free communication, a large variety of information and service, and communities. These communities evolves just the way terrestrial communities do and only self-sustaining will prosper. To make the cyberspace a better place, people need to define and identify different communities, and to label undesirable material. While enjoying individual choices, people should also undertake individual responsibilities.

(完整word版)研究⽣英语Lesson1课⽂Globalization Lesson 1 GlobalizationText A Living Between Three Worlds Globalization, for better or for worse, has changed the world greatly. Though still in its early stage, it is all but unstoppable. The challenge that people face nowadays is learning how to live with it, manage it and take advantage of the benefits it offers.Many people believe that, because of globalization, productivity throughout the world will be boosted and, as the world becomes richer and more prosperous, living standards everywhere have the potential to rise. However, there are still a lot of naysayers who take the opposite view, claiming that globalization will have increasingly devastating effects on our lives. Both sides can point to ample examples to support their cases. But in the end, both are probably exaggerating to some extent. What is irrefutable is that the world economic pie is indeed becoming bigger because of globalization – and it is being sliced differently than before.As a matter of fact, globalization means different things to different people, especially when it comes to touchy issues like jobs outsourcing or immigration. Globalization may create more jobs than it actually destroys, but they are in different sectors and in different geographic regions. In today’s world, it takes more skills, education and mobility to be employable.In the following, Sujan Pandit, an Indian writing from Calcutta, describes how he is caught between several tectonic shifts in the global labor market. He also explores how his unique situation gives him choices afforded to few other Indians.My fate is not that of a corporate foot-soldier, which – as the television images and newspaper photographs would suggest –involves a life of labor in a little cell and in tandem with many other, equally industrious honey-bees, armed only with a workstation and telephone.My job in marketing and business development does not eschew face-to-face contact. The company I work for is a small one, but it is spaced over three time zones: in Dallas, New York and Calcutta.But what makes the company distinctive is that it is a post-modern firm, since such a firm could scarcely have existed ten years ago. It is what Manuel Castells – Professor of City and Regional Planning at the University of California, Berkeley –would have called a network company, held together through e-mails and teleconferences alone.Stepping out of the air-conditioned office, I am greeted with the hot, damp touch of a Calcutta dusk. I hailed a black and yellow boneshaker of a taxi and instruct the driver to head for my club.His is an old Ambassador car, a poor Morris Oxford imitation dating back to the 1950s and still unchanged – a veritable monument of the pre-globalization License Raj era.As the taxi makes its way through the hustle and bustle of Calcutta’s streets, the blaring music and garish film posters, dodging cows and errant rickshaw pullers, I meditate on the scene around me.What a contrast between the work I do and the lives they lead! What does globalization mean to these people? If globalization has to mean anything significant to the Indian poor, it must mean a transformation of their lives.And yet, I can bet 100 to one that their lives will differ in no significant way from their fathers’ or grandfathers’ before them. The only consolation I can offer myself is that my job makes me the avant-garde of a movement which may – over the course of this century – improve their great-grandchildren’s lives.Finally, the taxi reaches the club and an old Victorian clubhouse comes into view amidst the sprawling golf course, manicured lawns and tennis courts. I head for the tea-lounge.With its Daniels’ water-color prints, richly brocaded chairs, dark mahogany paneling and wooden parquetry, this is the place to enjoy coffee after work. A liveried waiter brings me some.The club itself is a product of that last great age of globalization, what Eric Hobsbawm called “The Age of Empire”. Now that we are in another age of globalization, little of the décor seems to have changed since then.Only then, as an Indian, I would not have been allowed to enter its hallowed portals. Perhaps some thing do change after all! Sipping my coffee, I ponder over the question that is being debated in England: “Import workers or export jobs?” The first thing that strikes me is that it presents a so very First World perspective.Sitting in a Third World country, the proposition could equally be phrased as: “Export workers – or import jobs?” Actually, whichever way you state it, the economist’s answer is the same and is very simple: it does not matter.As a graduate student of economics, I have imbibed the theorems of microeconomics almost with my mother’s milk. If we view the right to work and citizenship as a bundle of legal rights, then their free exchange will move resources to their highest valued use, thereby maximizing global output.Under such conditions, migration and outsourcing are two sides of the same coin, temporary disequilibrium conditions leading to an eventual equilibrium.An admirable goal? Indeed! Realizable? It will founder on the frailties of human nature. Equal real wages for equivalent work throughout the world is the most heart-warming as long as it doesn’t affect my own lifestyle. Equality is good so long that I am immune from its pressures.By a strange quirk of fate, I am condemned to view the problems of migration and outsourcing from both sides.As a child of an Indian father and English mother, I have Indian citizenship, but also a Right of Abode which allows me to work in the United Kingdom. At the same time, I am an applicant for a U.S. Green Card.Much of my high education occurred in the United States and I have worked in Indian , the U.K. and the United States. A real citizen of one country, I remain an imaginary citizen of two others.Trapped between three worlds, I feel justifiably proud at India’s success in outsourcing. Yet I am equally aware that as a potential migrant to the U.K. or the United States, the reduction in transaction costs that makes outsourcing possible has an infringing consequence: It also reduces the economic attractiveness of these two countries to me.Once we become members of an exclusive club ( like the one I am sitting in ), we would like all further applications stopped!It is this duality of human nature that makes me view the future of globalization with foreboding. Just as the last great age of globalization engendered uncontrolled jingoism and came crashing down amidst the mud and filth of Flanders’ fields, our age too has its weaknesses.Foremost among them is protectionism, which includes eliminating immigration. Equality of real wages of equivalent work is going to hit some people in the developed world really hard – and for reasons not of their own making.Before Industrial Revolution, poverty was equally distributed throughout the globe, and therefore global inequality was low.Certainly, great differences existed between king and peasant in all feudal societies, but the lot of peasant in India and Europe was fairly similar: a life at the margin.Then came the Industrial Revolution – and a few countries began to pull away from the rest. This secular separation has gone on for over two centuries now.It has reached a point where the average bachelor’ degree holder in India has to make do on a few dollars a day, while his U.S. counterpart with a similar educational level enjoys a three-bedroom house, even if both are doing the same work.The reason why this could go on was because, for the U.S. worker, the labor market he or she had to face was the local, or at best, the national market. The fall in transaction costs owing to globalization has meant that the relevant market for this worker is now the international one.This dramatic outward shift of the labor supply curve will naturally reduce his wages. At the same time, it reduces global inequality in remuneration for similar work. Both migration and outsourcing can be viewed as an attempt to arbitrage these existing wage differentials.This will certainly lead to a backlash, as is happening in the United States and Europe right now. Nor will it go away easily, not even with a return to economic prosperity.This is because of the fundamental contradiction that lies at the heart of the liberal political and economic order. The liberal economic order demands progression towards perfect competition, which ultimately devalues citizenship rights. On the other hand, the liberal political order is predicated by the concert of nation-states.We have, so far, no other bases for the establishment of democratic regimes —and the E.U. is still too immature and unloved to take its place that demands robust citizenship rights.The economic entrepreneur is expected follow the demands and needs of the consumers slavishly, but if the political entrepreneur —that is, the politician —were to follow this advice, a protectionist regime could easily emerge. After all, demand for protection is a natural reaction to declining or stagnant income levels.There is no easy way out of this dilemma and only a good dose of common-sense and self-restraint can alleviate matters.Complex thoughts. Weighty matters. And no resolution. Having finished my coffee, I take my leave from the tea-lounge and wait in the foyer for a taxi.As I scan the darkness outsides, I think of my lawyer back in Dallas and mutter, “When will my Green Card come?”。

当代研究生英语读写教程上下册课文译文一些私人组织和地方团体已经在不声不晌地建立各种标签服务系统,并建立了适合儿童的网站,如“儿童连接”、“儿童空间”等。

具有不同品味和抱有不同价值观念的人如同挑选书刊、杂志一样,可以从网上挑选出适合自己的服务机构。

如果愿意,他们还可以在网上无拘无束地逍遥漫游,完成自己的旅程。

总之,我们的社会需要发展,要发展就意味着我们必须明白,世上没有完美无缺的答案,没有能够解决各种问题的妙方,没有政府认可的安全避难所。

我们不能在地球上建立一个十全十美的社会,同样也不能在信息空间营造一个这样的社会。

但是至少我们可以有个人的选择——也有个人的责任。

当代研究生英语读写教程上下册课文译文当代研究生英语读写教程上下册课文译文男孩的群体比女孩的要大,所包括的人更广泛,也更具有等级特色。

因此,男孩们势必要努力争取不在群体中处于从属地位。

这也许是为什么女人抱怨男人不听她们说话的根源之一。

当女的对男的说“你没有在听”,而男的反对说“我在听”时,常常男的是对的。

这种给人没有在听的印象是由于男女对话方式的不同而引起的。

这种不同在男女各自就位时就已表现出来了。

我对心理学家布鲁斯·多维尔录制的关于儿童与成人分别与他们的同性好友交谈时的录像带进行了研究。

研究发现,无论多大年龄的女孩和成年女性,都采取面对面的姿势,眼睛看着对方的脸。

而各种年龄的男孩和成年男子就座时,相互位置都成一定的角度,眼睛看着屋子别的地方,只有时不时瞥对方一眼。

男性这种看着别处的习惯,可能给女性一种印象,那就是他们没有在听,即使他们在听也会给人以没有在听的印象。

一个年轻的女大学生感到很失望,因为每当她告诉男朋友她想跟他谈谈时,他总是躺在地上,闭上眼睛,并用手臂挡住脸。

UnitOne信息空间:出入随愿美国人的内心深处具有一种酷爱探索新领域的气质。

我们渴求宽敞的场地,我们喜欢探索,喜欢制定规章制度,却不愿去遵守。

在当今时代,却很难找到一块空间,可以供你任意驰骋,又不必担心影响你的邻居。

确实有这样一个空间,那就是信息空间。

这里原本是计算机迷的游戏天地,但如今只要想像得到的各类人群应有尽有,包括少年儿童、轻佻的单身汉、美籍匈牙利人、会计等。

问题是他们都能和睦相处吗?人们是否会因为害怕孩子们躲在卧室里看网上的淫秽图片而将它封杀?首先要解决的问题是,什么是信息空间。

我们可以抛开高速公路、前沿新领域等比喻,把信息空间看作一个巨大的庄园。

请记住,庄园是人们智慧的结晶,是合法的、人工营造的氛围,它建立在土地之上。

在庄园里,公园和商业中心、红灯区与学校、教堂与杂货店都能区分开来。

你可以用同样的方法把信息空间想像为一个巨大的、无边无际的虚拟庄园。

其中有些房产为私人拥有并已租出,有些是公共场所;有的场所适合儿童出入,而有些地方人们最好避开。

不幸的是,正是这些应该避开的地方使得人们心向神往。

这些地方教唆你如何制造炸弹、为你提供淫秽材料、告诉你如何窃取信用卡。

所有这些使信息空间听起来像是一个十分肮脏的地方。

正直的公民纷纷作出这样的结论:最好对它严加管理。

但是,在利用规章制度来反击下流之举之前,关键是从根本上理解信息空间的性质。

恶棍并不能在信息空间抢走毫无提防之心的儿童;信息空间也不像一台巨大的电视机,向不情愿的观众播放令人作呕的节目。

在信息空间这座庄园里,用户对他们所去之处、所见所闻、所做所为都要作出选择,一切都出于自愿。

换句话说,信息空间是个出入自便的地方,实际上,信息空间里有很多可去之处。

人们不能盲目上网,必须带着具体的目标上网。

这意味着人们可以选择去哪个网址、看什么内容。

不错,规章制度应该在群体内得以实施,但这些规章制度必须由信息空间内各个群体自己来制定,而不是由法庭或华盛顿的政客们来制定。

But in this age it's hard to find a place where you can go and be yourself without worrying about he neighbours .在当今时代,却很难找到一块空间,可以供你任意驰骋,又不必担心影响你的邻居。

2 There is such a place : cyberspace .确实有这样一个空间,那就是信息空间。

Formerly a playground for computer fans ,cyberspace . Formely a playground for computer fans ,cyberspace now embraces every conceivable constituency : school children ,flirtatious ,singles ,Hungarian-Americans, accountants .这里原本是计算机迷的游戏天地,但如今只要想像得到的各类人群应有尽有,包括少年儿童、轻佻的单身汉、美籍匈牙利人、会计等。

Can they all get along ?Or will our fear of kids surfing for dirty pictures behind their bedroom doors provoke a crackdown ?问题是他们都能和睦相处吗?人们是否会因为害怕孩子们躲在卧室里看网上的淫秽图片而将它封杀?3 The first order of business is to grasp what cyberspace is .首先要解决的问题是,什么是信息空间。

It might help to leave beind metaphors of highways and frontiers and to think instead of real estate .我们可以抛开高速公路、前沿新领域等比喻,把信息空间看作一个巨大的庄园。

Real estate ,remember ,is an intellectual ,legal ,artificial environment constructed on top of land. 请记住,庄园是人们智慧的结晶,是合法的、人工营造的氛围,它建立在土地之上。

Real estate recognizes the difference between parkland and shopping mall ,between red-light zone and school district ,between church ,state and drugstore .在庄园里,公园和商业中心、红灯区与学校、教堂与杂货店都能区分开来。

4 in the same way , you could think of cyberspace as a giant and unbounded world of virtual real estate .你可以用同样的方法把信息空间想像为一个巨大的、无边无际的虚拟庄园。

Some property is privatedly owned and rented out ; other property is common land ; some places are suitable for children , and others are best avoided by all citizens .其中有些房产为私人拥有并已租出,有些是公共场所;有的场所适合儿童出入,而有些地方人们最好避开。

Unfortunately ,it's those places that are now capturing the popular imagination ,plaecs that offer bombmaking instructions ,pornography, advice on how to steal credit cards .不幸的是,正是这些应该避开的地方使得人们心向神往。

这些地方教唆你如何制造炸弹、为你提供淫秽材料、告诉你如何窃取信用卡。

They make cyberspace sound like a nasty place . Good citizens jump to a conclusion : Better regulate it .所有这些使信息空间听起来像是一个十分肮脏的地方。

5 But before using regulations to counter indecency ,it is fundamental to interpret the nature of cyberspace .正直的公民纷纷作出这样的结论:最好对它严加管理。

但是,在利用规章制度来反击下流之举之前,关键是从根本上理解信息空间的性质。

Cyberspace isn't a frontier where wicked people can grab unsuspecting children ,nor is it a giant television system that can beam offensive messages at unwilling viewers .恶棍并不能在信息空间抢走毫无提防之心的儿童;信息空间也不像一台巨大的电视机,向不情愿的观众播放令人作呕的节目。

In this kind of real estate ,users have to choose where they visit ,what they see ,what they do .It's optiona .在信息空间这座庄园里,用户对他们所去之处、所见所闻、所做所为都要作出选择,一切都出于自愿。

In other words,cyberspace is a voluntary destination --in reality ,many destinations .换句话说,信息空间是个出入自便的地方,实际上,信息空间里有很多可去之处。

You don't just get "onto the Net" ;you have to go someplace in particular . 人们不能盲目上网,必须带着具体的目标上网。

That means that people can choose where to go and what to see .这意味着人们可以选择去哪个网址、看什么内容。

Yes , community standards should be enforced ,but those standards set by cyberspace communities themselves ,not by the courts or by politicians in Washington .不错,规章制度应该在群体内得以实施,但这些规章制度必须由信息空间内各个群体自己来制定,而不是由法庭或华盛顿的政客们来制定。

6 what makes cyberspace so alluring is precisely the way in which it's different from shopping malls , television ,highways and other terrestrial jurisdictions. 信息空间之所以具有如此大的诱惑力,正是因为它不同于商场、电视、公路或地球上的其他地方。

But let's define the territor: 那么,让我们来描述一下这个空间。

7 First ,there are private e-malil conversations ,similar to the conversations you have over the teleophone . These are private and consensualand require no regulation at all .首先,信息空间里人与人之间可以进行电子邮件交流。

这种交流类似于电话交谈,都是私人之间的、两相情愿的谈话,不需要任何规章制度加以限制。

8 Second , there are information and entertainment services , where people can download anytihing from legal texts and lists of "great new restaurants " to game software or dirty pictures .其次,信息空间提供信息与娱乐服务。

人们可以从中下载各种信息,从法律文件、“大型新饭店”名单,到游戏软件、下流图片,无奇不有。

These places are like bookstores ,malls and movie houses --places where you go to buy something .这里如同书店、商场和电影院,属购物区域。

The customer needs to request an item or sign up for a subscription; stuff (especially pornography ) is not sent out to people who don't ask for it .顾客必须通过索求或者登记来购物,物品(特别是淫秽之物)不会发送给那些没有索取的人。

Some of these services are free or included as part of a broader service like ComputerServe or America Online ;有些服务可以免费,或作为总服务费用的一部分计算,如“计算机服务”和“美国在线”就是如此。
