英语课
We have taken another...one of those brilliant original ideas from Xerox 1 PARC that I saw in 1979,
我们借鉴了施乐PARC的另一项研究成果，也是1979年看到的
but didn't see really clearly then, called object oriented technology,
当时只了解一点皮毛。这项研究叫面向对象编程
and we have perfected it and commercialized it, here and become the biggest supplier ever to the market,
NeXT已经将其商业化，成为最大的供应商
and this object technology let you build software 10 times faster, and it's better.
它可以将软件开发速度提高十倍，而且质量更好
So that's what we do, and we got a small to medium sized business, a large supplier of objects,
这就是NeXT目前做的事
you know we were 50 to 75 million dollar company, got about 300 people, and that's what we do.
公司有300人，资产是5000~7500万美元
And the end of the 3rd show, actually is one moment that we do look into the future, because channel 4 has asked us to do that.
第四频道要求三期节目结束前请嘉宾展望一下未来
So what's your vision of 10 years from now, with this technology that you are developing?
你怎么看未来10年的技术发展趋势？
You know I think the internet and the web…
我看好互联网和web
there are two exciting things happening in software and in computing 2,
软件行业正在发生两件激动人心的事
one is objects, and the other is the web,
一个是面向对象编程，另一个就是web
the web is incredibly exciting because it fulfilled a lot of our dreams,
web将实现我们盼望已久的梦想
that the computer would ultimately not primarily a device for computation but metamorphosis a device for communication,
计算机不再仅仅充当计算工具，开始承担通信功能
and with the web that's finally happening, Secondly 3 it's exciting because the Microsoft doesn't know it,
可喜的是微软还没发现这一点
and therefore it's tremendous amount of innovation happening.
创新的机会很多
So I think the web is going to be profound in what it does to our society.
web将深刻改变我们的社会
As you know 15% of the goods and services in the US were sold by catalog over TV.
你知道美国有15%的商品是通过电视购物销售的
All that would go on the web and more, billions and billions …soon tens of billions of dollars of goods and services are going to be sold on the web.
电视购物很快会被web取代，网络销售的潜力巨大
A way to think about it is ultimately directed customer distribution channel,
网络将成为最直接的销售渠道
and another way to think about it is the smallest company in the world can look as large as the largest company in the world on the web.
而且在网络上小公司与大公司看起来没有区别
