I had seen statistics on poverty, but I had never really seen poverty.The people there lived in corrugated tin shacks with no electricity, no water, no toilets. Most people didn't wear shoes. They walked barefoot along the streets, except there were no streets, just ruts in the mud.
我曾经阅览过有关贫穷的调查数据,但是却未曾目睹过贫穷。那里的人们住在用铁皮搭成的简陋棚户里,没有电,没有自来水,也没有厕所。人们几乎不穿鞋,赤脚行走。或者可以说根本没有街道,只是一些坑洼的泥土路。
The community center had no consistent source of power. So they rigged up an extension cord that ran 200 feet from the center to the diesel generator outside. Looking at this setup, I knew the minute the reporters left, the generator would get moved to a more urgent task. And the people who used the community center would go back to worrying about challenges that couldn't be solved by a personal computer.
由于社区中心没有持续供电的设施,所以他们安装了一根延长线连接到200英尺以外的柴油发电机上。看过了这些装置,我明白了一旦记者离开后,发电机将会被运用到更紧迫的任务上。使用社区中心的人们也会因此而离开,为电脑所不能解决的问题而担忧。
When I gave my prepared remarks to the press, I said Soweto is a milestone. There are major decisions ahead about whether technology will leave the developing world behind. This is to close the gap.
