The more I see of the Internet, the more enthusiastic I am. We’re living through a period of dynamic change. America is ahead just now, with over 50 percent of the population online; Britain is next, then Scandinavia and Japan, with the rest of Europe lagging surprisingly behind. But it won’t be long before everyone catches up. In the third world especially, the Internet will be a liberating force that will power democracy and economic growth.

The lightning speed of American decision-making in today’s business world is embedded in the technology. In the 1980s, American companies, desperate to fend off Japan and Germany, shed their bureaucratic aspects and returned to the knife-edge of the market.
Companies began to be ran much more aggressively in the interests of shareholders, and that powered the adoption of new technology. The pay of CEOs was tied to stock market performance and businessmen got rich in a way they never previously imagined. The power of greed has always been one of our American lessons for the world.

On the knife-edge of the market some are going to bleed. One big innovation here is "frictionless selling" for cars-buying online rather than through a big talking salesman at a car dealership.
I just bought my new car through Autobytel, which normally sells at 2 percent above what the dealer pays. Arranged finance and got just what I wanted—colour; interior, engine size—in half an hour. That’s great for me. (48)
But there are 25,000—mostly family owned car dealerships in the United States, and in the next century most will die. It’s a transition that will surely be replicated many times over.
If there are losers who need protecting, there are also winners on a grand scale, many of them from ethnic minorities. New technology attracts smart people who want to get rich from all over the world.

Lots of cubicles at Microsoft headquarters hold an Asian or Latino millionaire. And Yahoo was founded by Jerry Yang, who started by putting together a guide to cool websites as a bored graduate student at Stanford. He was under 30, was born in Taiwan, came to America with nothing, and his company is now worth tens of billions of dollars.

Telecom costs are falling towards zero, and computer costs aren’t far behind; by next year we’ll be able to store a terabyte of data for $10,000—and not long ago the entire Internet was held to be a terabyte.
The growth of the Internet in Africa, Asia and the Far. East is putting these tools in everyone’s hands. And I’m confident that if people get the chance to connect, they will quickly create wealth and opportunities across seven continents.
选项
答案
电信的花费现在正朝零跌落,而电脑的售价也在其后不远。到明年我们花一万美元可存储一万亿字节的数据—而不久前整个互联网据说才只有一万亿字节。
解析
主要使用了分译法和词序调整法。该句是并列句,用分号将两个并列成份分开,而译文中,将两个句子分译为两句,使表达清楚。两个分句状语for $10,000调整成为we的谓语,译成"花一万美元"。此外,terabyte意为一万亿字节。
