新奇事件簿 万维网30周年(在线收听

The World Wide Web is now thirty years old. Its inventor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, has spoken about his creation on its 30th anniversary. He said he was worried about how people are using the Internet and its two billion websites today. He also said he is concerned about the future of the Web. He wrote a letter saying he knew many people felt unsure about whether the Web was "a force for good". He believes it can be a force for good and can empower billions of people. He wrote that he believed governments and companies must work together to build a better Internet. He said: "If we give up on building a better Web now, then the Web will not have failed us. We will have failed the Web."

万维网已经30岁啦。其发明者蒂姆·伯纳斯·李爵士在其三十周年之际谈到了他的这个创造。他表示他对现如今人们使用互联网以及20亿个网站的方式感到担心。他还表示自己为互联网的未来担忧。他在一封信中写道,他知道很多人对互联网是否是“一种正面力量”感到不确定。他相信互联网可以是一种正面的力量,可以赐数十亿人以力量。他写道,他认为政府和公司必须合作建立一个更好的互联网。他说:“如果我们现在放弃建一个更好的互联网,那么互联网不会辜负我们,而是我们会辜负互联网。”

Sir Tim had three main concerns about the World Wide Web. The first was criminal behavior, like state-sponsored hacking and online harassment. He described it as a "mirror of humanity" where "you will see good and bad". He said governments must pass laws to keep people safe. A second thing that worried Berners-Lee is how social media is used to spread misinformation. The past few years have seen a rise in fake news. In particular, how people were tricked during the 2016 US presidential election and the UK Brexit vote. Berners-Lee is also worried about people's privacy and personal information. He stressed the importance of fighting for a better and safer Web and keeping it free for everyone to use.

蒂姆爵士对万维网的担心主要有三点。第一是犯罪行为,比如得到国家支持的黑客以及在线骚扰。他将其描述为“能让你看到善与恶”的一面“人性的镜子”。他称政府必须通过法律保证人们的安全。第二个让伯纳斯·李担心的是利用社交媒体传播误导信息。在过去几年中假消息在不断增加。尤其是在2016年美国总统选举和英国脱欧投票时,人们受到了欺骗。伯纳斯·李也担心人们的隐私和个人信息。他强调了为创建一个更好更安全互联网而努力以及人人都能免费使用网络的重要性。
