輕松美語會話第1輯 此網(wǎng)非彼網(wǎng)

[00:00.00]Mark and Maggie continue their walk to the Post Office. [00:01.53]馬克和瑪姬繼續(xù)向郵局走去， [00:03.06]Mark decides to give Maggie some insight into the developments of the internet,intranet and e-mail in his own country and culture. [00:06.79]馬克決定告訴瑪姬關于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)、內(nèi)部網(wǎng)和電子郵件在他的國家、文化中發(fā)展的根本情況。 [00:10.51]Mark: I can't remember if I told or not,but I'm from France. [00:12.46]馬克：我不記得我是否告訴過你，我來自法國。 [00:14.40]Maggie: Really? You hardly have an accent. [00:15.61]瑪姬：真的？你幾乎沒帶什么口音。 [00:16.81]Mark: Anyway ,I'd like to explain a little about the historcial development of e-mail in Europe. [00:19.08]馬克：不論如何，我想解釋一點關于電子郵件在歐洲特別是在法國的發(fā)展歷史。 [00:21.35]actually in France ,Now you see we in France do have our own system to support electronic correspondence .It's called an intranet. [00:25.58]現(xiàn)在你可以看到在法國我們有自己的系統(tǒng)來支持電子通信業(yè)務。人們稱之為內(nèi)部網(wǎng)。 [00:29.81]Maggie: Isn't that what used in Net-works within companies and stuff. [00:31.70]瑪姬：是不是在公司和職員之間的計算機網(wǎng)絡上操作使用的。 [00:33.59]Mark: Something like that .Well ,France came up with this computer network the intranet-before the introduction of the internet. [00:37.62]馬克：有點像，嗯，法國在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)介紹進來之前就有了這種電腦網(wǎng)站——內(nèi)部網(wǎng)。 [00:41.65]Maggie: Intranet.I think I've heard of that ... [00:43.22]瑪姬：內(nèi)部網(wǎng)。我想我曾聽說過…… [00:44.78]Mark: It was very popular and a very exciting technological advance. [00:46.89]馬克：這是一個非常受人歡迎，非常令人激動的技術(shù)性突破。 [00:49.00]Maggie:Wait,Isn't that what companies use to keep their employees connected. [00:51.39]瑪姬：等等，是不是公司用來保持與他們雇員聯(lián)系的？ [00:53.78]Mark: Yeah,That's one kind of intranet. [00:54.94]馬克：是的，這只是其中一種。 [00:56.09]Maggie: But on the intranet you can only send messages to people who share your same network.It's like a big club. [00:59.26]瑪姬：但是在這種網(wǎng)上，你只能發(fā)送信息給和你聯(lián)網(wǎng)的人，就像一個大俱樂部。 [01:02.42]Mark: Exactly and that was the problem with the intranet in France...But I'm getting ahead of myself. [01:05.03]馬克：確切地說在法國這種網(wǎng)有一個大問題是……我現(xiàn)在找不著頭緒了。 [01:07.64]Maggie: Sorry,I didn't mean to interrupt you. [01:08.85]瑪姬：對不起，我并不想打斷你。 [01:10.06]Mark: Like I was saying it was very popular and very advanced but it was limited in its range. [01:12.63]馬克：正如我所說，它非常受人歡迎而且很先進，但在區(qū)域范圍上有局限。 [01:15.20]Maggie: That's when the internet came along. [01:16.86]瑪姬：這是在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)出現(xiàn)以后…… [01:18.52]Mark: Right ,It was introduced in France some time after the intranet had been adopted by quite a few people . [01:21.11]馬克：是的，在內(nèi)部網(wǎng)已經(jīng)被相當一部分人接受以后的一段時間，才被介紹到法國來的。 [01:23.70]However it was slightly more appealing because it was not limited in range to France. [01:26.40]可是它還是有一定的吸引力，因為對于法國來說，它在范圍上是不受限制的。 [01:29.10]Maggie: Did the internet really pose much of a threat to the intranet? [01:31.51]瑪姬：互聯(lián)網(wǎng)真的對內(nèi)部網(wǎng)已夠成相當威脅了嗎？ [01:33.92]Mark: Yes and no.It wasn't too successful because people were already used to the intranet and it was not too convenient to get everyone to swith. [01:38.28]馬克：可以說是也可以說不是。這并不是很成功，因為人們已經(jīng)習慣內(nèi)部網(wǎng)了，而且任何人都可以互通信息也并不很方便。 [01:42.64]However ,it's competitive advantage came from the fact that it's scope was much larger and this larger and this was a huge advantage in eyes of a younger generation. [01:46.72]但是，它有一個競爭優(yōu)勢就在于它的范圍要大得多，在年輕一代人的眼中，這是一個巨大的優(yōu)勢。 [01:50.81]Maggie: Fascinating ,So that's why the internet is not so widely used in France. [01:53.31]瑪姬：這太有趣了，這就是為什么互聯(lián)網(wǎng)在法國不是很普及的原因。 [01:55.81]Mark: In part....and in my opinion ,it's going to take some time to make the shift. [01:58.33]馬克：部分原因是這樣，我看還要再過一段時間才會有所變化。 [02:00.85]Hey look there's the Post Office. [02:02.17]瞧，郵局在那。 [02:03.48]Maggie: Thanks,It's really decent of you. [02:05.39]瑪姬：謝謝，你真是太好了。
