复述转写

Hi, I'm Helen Campbell, from DJ interpretation, European Commission, I'm going to talk about Facebook. You I'm sure that you are more familiar with Facebook, a lot, a lot more familiar than I than me. But I've read a love for an awful lot about it. It is indeed a big success in （it）now has half a million people among is 英 /ɪz/subscribe subscribers. Well have a medium just So Facebook is really an enormous success. Well, if it were a country, then it would be the third largest country in the world by is(its) population numbers, but it is not a country. So it is indeed an overriding success.

I'm going to talk about Facebook.英 /ɪts/

我们来聊聊脸书。英 /ɪz/

I'm sure that you're all very familiar with Facebook, a lot more familiar than I am, no doubt. But I've read an awful lot about it, as I suppose like most people. Facebook is a big success, a huge website success. And it now numbers half a million people amongst subscribers. Half a million is an awful lot of people and therefore it is something of an enormous success. In fact, if it were a country, it would be the third largest country by population numbers, but it's not as I said, it's a highly successful website.

我相信你们对脸书都不陌生，毫无疑问，你们可能比我更熟悉。但我和大多数人一样，读了很多关于它的书。脸书是一个巨大的成功，非常成功的网站。现在它的订户已经达到了50万。50万是非常多的人，因此这是一个巨大的成功。事实上，如果它是一个国家，按人口数量计算，它将是世界第三大国家，但它不是像我说的，它是一个非常成功的网站。

Well, this success is is, (it)is being made in this space of six years. Six years ago, a young, older graduate, sat(set) up 额with this web ad to(at) his dormitory room. That is Mark Zuckerberg, of course, he is now the CEO of Facebook. At that time, he thought that it would be a good way to have a website to keep the average ed(ivy league) students to keep in touch with each other  (,)exchange information and news. But then a(it) grow grow(ed in)ing to make(a big) success.

Now, all this has happened, this huge overriding success in the space of only six years. Facebook was set up by a young undergraduate in his early 20s, one Mark Zuckerberg is now of course the CEO of Facebook. He simply began the plan in his dormitory room, and he thought it would be a good way to set up a website to keep the 英 /'aɪvɪ/Ivy League 英 /liːɡ/students in touch with each other, keeping tabs on each other, exchanging some information and news and it's gone from that as I said, in six years only, to a real web superpower. A superpower that can number that many people has an awful lot of influence too.

现在，这一切都发生了，在短短六年的时间里取得了巨大的成功。脸书是一个年轻的本科生，在他二十岁时候创立的，扎克伯格是首席执行官，刚开始建立脸书只是认为建立一个网站是一个很好的方法，可以让常春藤联盟的学生相互联系，互相关注，交换一些信息和新闻，就像我说的那样，在仅仅六年的时间里，它就变成了一个真正的超级网络帝国，拥有巨大的影响力。

Well, he has such a so many subscribers, that means you(it) indeed have (a)great influence. Well, this is really a part of the aspects of the web. Think about where we start macro seeing that think that macro software's made a computer much easier for us. And then Google made a search search more easy for us and them, YouTube says and attenders. But Facebook has (an)advantage of perhaps all of them. That data is because of the users emotional investment is subscribers are laughing on Facebook. They exchange photos. And they talk to each other through Facebook as opposed to talk to each other directly.

Well, it's all part of the development of so many different aspects of the web, thinking back we began with Microsoft that made computers easy for all. Then we had Google to help us search and then YouTube to entertain us. But Facebook, well Facebook has a huge advantage over perhaps all the others because of the emotional investment of its users. The people who subscribe are laughing together, exchanging their opinions, exchanging holiday photographs, genuinely talking to each other, but talking to each other through Facebook, as opposed to directly. 

脸书也是网络发展中众多部分中的之一，回想一下，我们从微软开始，它让所有人都能方便地使用电脑。然后我们有谷歌来帮助我们搜索，然后有YouTube来娱乐我们。但是脸书，脸书拥有比其他所有网站都有巨大的优势，因为它有用户的情感投入。订阅的人一起欢笑，交换意见，交换度假照片，真诚地彼此交谈，但通过脸书，而不是直接交谈。

Well, this means that we'll live our private life in a public arena. Whether this is a good thing or not, is for you to judge. But it indeed abroad, an enormous change compared to that in 10 or 20 years ago, because at that time, we're not live our private life in such a public arena than people do now. Thank you

It means too that this is really a question of living your private life in a public arena. Now whether or not that is a good or a bad thing that is for you to judge but it certainly shows an enormous change now compared with say 10 or 20 years ago, because we didn't live our private lives in the public arena then as people are doing now. Thank you. 

这意味着把自己的个人生活公开展示在公众面前。现在，这是好是坏，由你来判断，但它确实显示了一个巨大的变化，与10年或20年前相比，因为我们不像人们现在这样在社交门户展示自己的个人生活。谢谢你！
