Interviewer: So let’s say we’re talking about telephones and computers as you’ve suggested, what do we mean when we say there’s a “digital divide”?
主持人：那么让我们说，我们谈论的是电话和电脑，正如你所说的，我们是什么意思，当我们说有一个“数字鸿沟”？
Interviewee: this all comes down to having access to information--- being able to find information about crop prices, about the latest research, even news about what’s happening in your country or in your part of the world easily. In industrialized countries it’s all around us. Apart from newspapers and radio stations, we now have the Internet, or you can even get this sort of information on your mobile phone. The problem for developing countries is that they don’t have access to that information.
Interviewer: Success in the modern world depends on having access to up-to-date information--- whether for business, farming, education, healthcare--- for every aspect of life. And in this so-called “information society”, there’s a digital divided between the haves and the have-nots---- those who are able to access information and those who aren’t. But the ability to access information depends on more than just having the right technological equipment.
应聘者：这一切都归结到所获得的信息，能够找到关于农作物价格信息，最新的研究，即使是在你的国家或你的世界的一部分，容易发生了什么新闻。在工业化国家，这是我们周围的一切。除了报纸和广播电台，我们现在有互联网，或者你甚至可以在你的手机上获得这类信息。发展中国家的问题是，他们没有获得这一信息。 面试官：在现代世界的成功取决于获得最新信息---无论是商业，农业，教育，医疗保健---为生活的每一个方面。在这个所谓的“信息社会”，这一数字将富人和穷人----那些能够访问信息和那些不但是获取信息的能力不仅仅取决于有正确的技术设备之间。
Interviewee: there are several big problems wen it comes to the internet access. One of the big ones is that a lot of the material on the Internet is in English, and that instantly puts a barrier up to a lot of people in the world because they have to speak at least some English to understand the information there. The other thing is just the connection. To connect to the Internet, you need to connect either through cables or you can do it through radio waves. But in many parts of the developing world, what you have is a very slow connection over a telephone line. Telephone lines in a lot of these parts of the world are quite unreliable, they’re a bit crackly, they might have some interference on the line. So what you then have is an Internet connection that, not only is slow, but could break at any moment. This is a huge problem for the developing countries.
Interviewer: We’ve talked a bit about the Internet, then, the difference that can make to people’s lives. What about the phone? And particularly the mobile phone?
应聘者：有几个大问题，温总理谈到互联网接入。其中一个大的问题是，互联网上的很多资料都是英文的，而这一点在全世界都会有一个障碍，因为他们必须至少用一些英语来了解那里的信息。另一件事就是连接。要连接到互联网，你需要连接电缆或通过无线电波。但是在发展中世界的许多地方，你在电话线上有一个非常缓慢的连接。在许多世界各地的电话线是相当不可靠的，他们有点脆脆的，他们可能对线干扰。所以你所拥有的是一个互联网连接，不仅是慢，但可以打破在任何时刻。这对发展中国家是一个巨大的问题。 面试官：我们在网上聊了一点，然后，可以让人们的生活不同。那电话呢？尤其是移动电话？
Interviewee: This is almost more revolutionary than the Internet itself. Because what you’re finding now is that in countries like Nigeria, almost everybody will have a mobile phone. In the past they would have had to rely on trying to get a normal landline, something connected with wires to the local exchange, and the problem is there wouldn’t be many of these telephones, they would expensive. But now mobile phones are opening the world of communication to just about everybody. So, selling goods is easier; sharing ideas is much more possible now than in the past; or even just giving advice to colleagues or friends.
应聘者：这是几乎比互联网本身的革命。因为你现在发现的是，在像尼日利亚这样的国家，几乎每个人都会有一个手机。在过去，他
们将不得不依靠努力获得正常的座机，点与导线连接到本地交换，而问题是不会有很多这样的电话，他们会很贵。但现在移动电话正在开放的世界，只是关于每个人。因此，销售商品更容易，分享的想法比过去更容易，甚至只是给同事或朋友的建议。 8. Unit 8
Summaries：politically correct means socially correct according to the views of those who were politically left of center. There are three kinds of political correctness. Type A refers to new ways of saying things, avoiding giving offence to members of minority groups. For examples, person is preferred to man/woman, Ms to Miss/Mrs and physically challenged to disabled. Type B refers to terms used to attack those thought to be politically incorrect. Words such as sexist, racist, Eurocentric are examples. Type C refers to terms indicating a positive program for addressing wrongs.

Listening script
Well, good evening ladies and gentlemen. I’m giving a talk on political correctness. Can you hear me at the back?
What is political correctness? What is it? Well, let’s look at the appearance of the term. In the 1980s, in the United States, then in this country, we suddenly had a number of strange inventions in the language. For example, The Washington Post newspaper, on 12th of March 1984, we read about a writer called Langer. Langer is saying that
novelists have a duty higher than the one they owe to their art, that is the art of writing, of course, and in their private vision of world, they have a duty to be politically correct. And again The Washington Post in the following year, “it is the only caffeinated coffee served by the waitpersons,” they’re called in the politically correct Tacoma Café in Tacoma Park. Well, what’s all this about? What does politically correct mean in its sense? Well, I would suggest in the original sense in the States, politically correct meant socially correct according to the views of those who were politically left of center. It was a descriptive term. 摘要：政治上正确的方法是在社会上正确的，根据那些在政治上离开的人的观点。政治上的正确性有三种。类型指的是说事物的新方法，避免给少数群体的成员们的冒犯。举例来说，人是喜欢男人/女人，小姐/女士和身体残疾的挑战。类型是指用来攻击那些认为在政治上不正确的人。诸如性别歧视、种族主义、欧洲中心主义的例子。类型是指表示一个正的程序来解决错误。如多元文化主义和肯定行动的表达点在点。 听力脚本
女士们，先生们，晚上好。我在讨论政治正确性。你能听到我的声音吗？
什么是政治正确性？那是什么？嗯，让我们来看看这个词的出现。在20世纪80年代，在美国，在这个国家，我们突然有了一些奇怪的发明在语言。例如，华盛顿邮报，第十二月1984，我们看到一个作家叫兰格。兰格说，小说家们比他们欠他们的艺术更高的责任，那就是写作，艺术，当然，在他们的世界私人的愿景，他们有义务
