The Future of Cyberspace
网络空间的未来
Peter
Taylor finds out how computers and the Internet
are
going to affect our lives.
彼得泰勒发现了计算机和因特网会怎样影响我们的生活。
In last thirty years, the Internet has
grown rapidly. In 1983,
there
were
only
200
computers
connected
to
the
Internet;
now there are around 50 million and
this growth is clearly going
to
continue.
在过去的三十年中，
互联网的迅速发展。
1983
，
仅有
200
台计算机连接到
Internet
；
现在有
50000000
左右，
这一增长显然是要继续下去。
Some expert
are pessimistic about the future. One worry is
crime
in
cyberspace.
Even
now,
young
hackers
can
get
into
the
computers
of
banks
and
governments.
In
the
future,
terrorists may
“
a
ttack
”
the
world
?
s computers, cause
chaos,
and make planes and trains
crash.
一些专家对未来感到悲观。
一个担心是网络犯罪
。
即使是现在，
年轻的黑客可以
进入银
行和政府的电脑。在未来，恐怖分子可能会“攻击”全世界的计算机，造
成混乱，使飞机
和火车事故。
However, many people
are optimistic about the future of the
Internet. Already, users can buy books,
find out about holidays
offers, books
tickets, and get all sorts of information from the
Internet.
学海无涯苦作舟！
然而，许多人对因
特网的未来持乐观态度。已经，用户可以购买书籍，发现假期
提供，书票，并从网上获取
各种各样的信息。
“
In the next few
years,
”
say Angela Rossetto
of Cyberia
magazine,
“
it is clear that we are
going to see a huge growth in
shopping
on the Internet.
”
She also
believes that, in the future,
we will
get entertainment from the Net and that television
will
probably disappear. The mail
service may also disappear with
the
increasing use of e-mail.
“在未来的几年里，
”安吉拉说，在罗塞托的杂志，
“很明显，我们将会看到网上
购物的巨大增长。
”她还认为，在未来，我们将从网上，电视可能会消失，
得到
娱乐。邮件服务可能会随着电子邮件的消失。
Some experts see our future in virtual
reality
–
the use of
computers with sounds and pictures that
make you feel as if
you are in a real
situation.
“
Personally, I
think virtual reality
will become a
part of modern life,
”
say
Australian expert Peter
Anderson.
有些专家看到了虚拟现实的未来–使用电脑的声音和图片，
让你觉得如果你
在真
实的情况。
“就我个人而言，我认为虚拟现实将成为现代生
活的一部分，
”说，澳
大利亚专家彼得。
“
I see people living and
working in a virtual world.
We will
work
in
virtual
offices,
shop
in
virtual
supermarkets,
and we
will even study in
virtual schools.
”
“我看到人们在虚拟世界里生活、工作。我们将在虚拟办公室
工作，在虚拟超
市购物，甚至会在虚拟学校学习。
”

学海无涯苦作舟！
汤姆：嗨，凯西。这个周末你打算做什么？
Cathy:
Don

Tom.
I

lots
of
work
to
do.
If
I

?
t

my
project
on
the
history
of

for

?
s lesson,
the science teacher will be angry. What

for Saturday and
Sunday?
凯西：
别问，汤姆。我有很多工作要做。如果我没有完成我的项目在互联网的历
史为下星期一的
课，
老师会生气的。
你呢？你有计划在星期六和星期日的事
吗？
Tom: It depends
on the weather.
If
it
?
s good, Dad, and Mum
and I will probably go camping. But we
won
?
t go if it rains.
Hey, if I stay home,
I
?
ll help you help with you
project if you
like.
汤姆：这取决于天气。如果是好的，爸爸，妈妈和我可能会去
野营。但我们不会
下雨。嘿，如果我呆在家里，我会帮助你，帮助你的项目，如果你喜欢
。
Cathy: Thanks for the
offer. Tom, can you suggest any good
books for my project? If you tell me
some titles, I
?
ll look for
them in the library.
凯西谢谢你的热情。
汤姆，
你能推荐一些好的书我的项目？如果你告诉我一些书
名，我会在图书馆找
到他们。
Tom:
Use
the
library
computer,
If
you
go
to
the
Science
Museum
website,
you
?
ll
find
lots
of
good
information.
I
?
ll
send you the website address when I get
home.
汤姆：
使用图书馆的电脑，
如果你去科学博物馆的网站，
你会
发现很多很好的信
息。我会给你的网站地址，我回家的时候。
Cathy: Thanks. Just think, if we had
virtual reality holidays, we
wouldn
?
t have any
problem with the weather.
What
?
s more,
学海无涯苦作舟！
we
wouldn
?
t have to spend a
long time travelling in planes
to get
to our holiday destinations.
凯西：谢谢。试想，如果我们有了虚拟现实的假期，我们就不
会有任何问题与天
气。更重要的是，我们不必花长时间坐飞机去我们的度假胜地。
Tom: What do you
mean?
汤姆：你是什么意思？
Cathy:
Well,
in
the
future,
we
?
ll
be
able
to
use
modern
technology to go anywhere we like.
We won
?
t have to
go
there
in
the
flesh
at
all!
Wouldn
?
t
that
be
great?
I
feel
excited
just thinking about it.
凯西：好的，在未来，我们将能使用现代技术，我们想去的任何地方。我们不必
去肉在所有！那不是很好吗？我感到兴奋，只是想着它。
Tom:
I
don
?
t
understand.
Cathy,
do
you
mean
we
?
ll
use
the
computer
to travel around the world, entering and exiting
countries in seconds and visiting all
the historical sites?
汤姆：我不明白。凯西，你的意思是我们可以使用计算机来环游世界，进入和退
出国家秒和参观历史遗迹吗？
Cathy:
That
?
s
right!
Just
imagine
never
having
to
pack
a
suitcase! We would not
only be able to travel around the
world, but also go to study in any
world famous universities
we wanted
to.
凯西没错！
想象一下没有收拾行李！
我们不仅能周游世界，
而且去
一所世界知名
的大学学习我们想。
Tom:
That could be
really exciting!
But I
still find it hard to
imagine. You would see it but you
couldn
?
t dip your toes in
the
sea
or
eat
the
foods
you
saw.
You
would
not
experience it.
学海无涯苦作舟！
汤姆：那可真是令
人兴奋的！但我仍然觉得很难想象。你会看到它，但你不能把
脚浸在海水或吃的食物，你
看到的。你不会体验。
Cathy: Well, if
they invented virtual reality holidays,
I
?
d go on
an
around-the-world tour. Tom, what would you like to
do
if someone gave you the
change?
凯西：嗯，如果他
们发明了虚拟现实的假期，我会环游世界。汤姆，你如果有人
给你改变想做什么？
Tom:
I
don
?
t
really
know.
Personally,
I
?
m
more
interested
in
virtual universities than
virtual reality holidays.
I
?
d like to
go to a world-famous university, like
Stanford. But I guess,
a virtual
university just wouldn
?
t be
the same, would it?
汤姆：我真的不
知道。就我个人而言，我对虚拟大学比虚拟假日更感兴趣。我想
去一个世界著名的大学，
如斯坦福大学。但是我想，一个虚拟的大学是不相
同的，对吗？
Cathy: True, but just think-you would
be able to study in such
a world-famous
university without going out of your room!
凯西：真的，只是想你就可以研究在这样一个世界知名大学没有走出你的房间！

孔去民间
The famous classical pianist, Kong
Xiangdong, surprised his
fans
last
week
by
giving
a
concert
combining
classical
music
with
Chinese
folk
music.
Kong
explained
that
he
tried
this
because
he
wanted
to
create
something
new.
―
As
a
musician,
playing
the
same
music
in
different
cities
of
the
world
is
very
boring,
‖
say
Kong.
He
also
feels
that
playing
Chinese
folk
music on the piano can
help bring it the rest of the world.
著名
的古典钢琴师，
孔祥东，
让他的歌迷们上周通过音乐会结合古典
音乐与中国
民间音乐。孔祥东解释说，他尝试这样做是因为他想创造一些新的东西。
―
作为
学海无涯
苦作舟！
一个音乐家，在世界不同的城市演奏相同的音乐是非
常枯燥的，
‖
孔祥东说。
他还觉得，用钢琴演奏中国民族音乐帮助它在这世界上站稳脚步。
Music has always been part of
Kong
‘
s world. As his mother
was a great music lover, he lived with
music from birth.
But it
wasn
‘
t always
easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother
couldn‘t
buy him a piano
until he was seven.
She had to draw
piano keys on a piece of paper so that
he could learn to play as
early
as
possible.
The
5-years
old
Kong
would
practise
on
the
paper piano as his
mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to
practise
the
piano
so
much
that,
at
times,
he
thought
about
giving
up.
However,
he
didn
‘
t
quit,
and
he
became
a
great
pianist. In 1986, at the age of 18, he
become the youngest prize
winner in
Moscow
‘
s Tchaikovsky
International Competition. He
went on
to win awards in competition across the world.
音乐是孔祥东世界中的一部分，
<
/p>
他的母亲是一个音乐爱好者，他的生活伴随着
音乐的诞生。
但是它对于年轻的孔祥东不是很容易。
他的母亲在他七岁之前不会
给他购买钢琴。
她不得不把琴键画在一张纸上，
让他尽早的学习。
伴着母亲用手
拍的节拍，
5
岁的孔祥东在纸钢琴上练习。他在纸上钢琴上练习了很久，他有时
想放弃。但是，他没有放弃，最终他成为了一个伟大的钢琴家。在
1986
年，他
18
岁时，获得了莫斯科柴可夫
斯基国际大赛奖。他在世界各地的比赛中获得了
竞赛奖
Because of Kong
‘
s
talent and hard work, he became famous
worldwide.
But
after
years
of
performing,
he
became
that
in
some ways he had lost his identity.
This is why he went back to
his roots
and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music.
He
began
experimenting
with
different
styles
and
his
Dream
Tour
Concert is the result.
学海无涯苦作舟！
因为孔祥东的才能
和勤劳，他才能闻名于世界。但是经过多年，他迷失了自己。
这就是他要落叶归根且重新
发觉中国民间音乐的美妙的原因。
他开始尝试在自己
的梦想巡回
演唱会上用不同的风格。
Kong
‘
s
new
experiment
in
Chinese
folk
music
is
so
important to him that he even changed
his appearance. When he
arrived at his
concert last week, he had shaved off all his hair!
Since his music style was new, he
decided his hairstyle had to be
new
too!
孔祥东在中国民间音乐的试验是多么重要，
他甚至改
变了他的容貌。
当到他音乐
会之前的最后一周时，
他剃了他所有的头发！
因为他的音乐风格是新的，
他
决定
他的发型也应该是新的！
Whether Kong is changing his appearance
or transforming his
music, he is a
pioneer in music today. The concert last week was
such a success that
Kong
‘
s Dream Tour Concert is
expected to
run for the next two years
in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main
cities before going to Paris and New
york.
不论孔祥东是改变自己的形象或者是他音乐的改变，他都是当今音乐界的先
驱
者。
上周的
音乐会是非常成功的，
未来两年，
孔祥东梦想巡回演
唱会的将在北京，上海和其他的主要城市运行，在这之前，他将去巴黎和纽约。
