Newspaper publishers make money mainly from subscribers and advertisers. It’s been that way for centuries. But in the last few years an important new income stream has opened up for newspapers. Among the pioneers is The Gazette Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which since 1993 has been providing information to its readers delivered by both paper and, increasingly, the Web. "If a newspaper views itself as ink on paper, I don’t think it will survive. " says Steve Hannah, vice president of information technology.

Online newspapers are a look into the future, and just pondering it raises the question of whether it isn’t nicer getting your daily news curled up in your favorite chair with your ballpoint pen handy to circle items of interest, or scissors ready to snip out articles you want to save.
The Gazette Company is betting its subscribers want both electronic and paper options, and so far it seems to be right.
The rest of the world is moving into cyberspace more slowly than the United States, and, in the developing world, the Internet has hardly penetrated at all. 62)
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan is determined to change this through the United Nations Information Technology Service, which will train large numbers of people to tap into the income-enhancing power of the Internet.
Annan is also proposing an Internet health network that will provide state-of-the-art medical knowledge to 10,000 clinics and hospitals in poor countries.
The on-rushing Cyber Age has given newfound power to us all, as seen in Jody Williams’s one-woman organization using e-mail to promote a global ban on land mines. Yet, this is but a glimpse of what’s ahead in the minds of those immersed in this great and accelerating transformation.

At Microsoft, Bill Gates predicts that by 2018 major newspapers will" publish their last paper editions and move solely to electronic distribution,’and that by 2020 dictionaries will redefine books as " eBook titles read on screen. "
64)
Computers have metamorphosed from the University of Pennsylvania’s 1961 ENIAC--whose more than 17,000 vacuum tubes had less number-crunching power than today~ s laptop — into thumbnail-sized computer chips containing 42 million transistors.
William Van Dusen Wishard, president of World Trends Research, is concerned. 65)
In a speech to the Issue Management Council in Washington D. C, he noted that "researchers at Carnegie Mellon University cite a two-year study showing depression and loneliness appearing at greater levels in people using the Internet than in others not using it, or not using it as much.
Extensive exposure to the wider world via the Net appears to make people less satisfied with their personal lives. "
选项
答案
在对华盛顿哥伦比亚特区期刊管理委员会的一次谈话中,他特别提到卡耐基梅隆大学的科研工作者引用的一项经过两年的研究。该研究表明,使用因特网的人比其他不使用因特网的人或使用不那么多的人会显露出更大程度的消沉和孤独感。
解析
1) 句式结构
此句的主句为简单句,其主谓结构为he noted,后面的结构较为复杂,由that引导一个宾语从句,带有复杂的状语成分。其主体框架结构为:
In a speech…, he noted that "researchers…cite a…study showing depression and loneliness…; 其中showing depression and loneliness为宾语study的补语,补充说明study的状况;appearing at greater levels为depression and loneliness的定语,in people using…, or not using it as much为地点状语。
2) 理解与表达
本句中几个重点词语的理解:Issue Management Council期刊管理委员会;Carnegie Mellon University卡耐基梅隆大学;cite v.引用,引证,例证;如:He cited a line of verse in his article.他在文章中引用了一行诗。at greater level在更大程度上
此句翻译的关键是把握好后面的宾语补助语以及greater levels所比较的对象,翻译此句标点符号不宜照搬原文,而要根据汉语句子结构的需要,进行必要的断句、加标点。
