Berlin Wall
So why build it? There are good political reasons for doing so. It will provide work for the thousands of unemployed defense workers who depended on the Cold War for their jobs, and who make up a substantial proportion of voters in both Russian and the . It will also help keep American/ Russian ties strong- another reason NASA believes the space station is a good investment. And then there is the legacy of the Cold War. The Berlin Wall may have fallen, but NASA and the . government still seem to believe in the ideal of one nation’s superiority in space. Indeed, NASA describes the space as “a powerful symbol of . leadership”.
第二次世界大战结束后,德国被分为东德和西德。由于东德的技术工人、职业人员、知识分子通过柏林逃往西德,东德政府于1961年8月13日晚上下令修筑柏林墙,从而隔断了东柏林以及东德附近地区通向西德的道路。到
1989年11月9日,东德政府迫于压力,允许其人民出入东西德。这座象征着东德和西德政治屏障的柏林墙终于1990年被拆除。
W-CDMA宽带码分多址技术
As impressive as i-mode is, NNT o has even ing. Beginning in May 2001, pany will launch the world’s mercial 3G W-CDMA operation. Service will begin in the greater Tokyo region and will roll out nationally over a three-year period.
和互联网模式同样令人惊叹的是,NNT网站将会有更令人瞩目的举措。从2001年5月开始,公司将在世界上首次在商业上使用第三代宽带码分多址技术。公司将首先向东京的大部分地区提供此项技术服务,并将在今后的三年的时间里在全国范围内推广。
(注解:文章中的3G是third generation的缩写;W-CDMA是Wide Code Division Multiple Access的缩写, CDMA是一种数据传输的编码技术,简单来说,用户的对话会转译成一连串的编码,并利用宽频带电波传送到另一方,最后编码会还原为对话。W-CDMA是第三代无线电话系统的标准,其特点是传输数据快,可以用于多媒体的传输。)
GDP国内生产总值
Between 1870 and 1910, American’s gross fixed investment averaged 21% of its GDP, well ahead of
Britain’s 13%. Likewise, in recent decades, East Asia has sustained substantially higher investment than today’s leaders. South Korea, for example, invests 35% of its GDP --- more than double America’s capital spending.
从1870到1910年期间, 美均为其国内生产总值的21%,远远超过英国的13%。同样,在最近的几十年中,东亚保持了大大高于先进国家的投资数额。例如,韩国总投资是国内生产总值的35%,是美国资本投入的两倍。
(注解:文章中的GDP是Gross Domestic Product的简称,即国内生产总值。它是指一个国家在一段时间里所产生的商品和提供的劳动服务的价值总和。许多经济学家用GDP来衡量一个。他们通常用本国生产总值除以人数来计算出人均生产总值,以便各个国家之间相互比较。到了九十年代初,许多发达国家开始使用GNP
