早上好，请允许我和惠普的同仁们一起，欢迎诸位来参加“惠普信息时空”大会。目前，中国工业界、政府和教有部门面临的最大挑战是怎样充分利用电子化世界带来的益处。这也就是我今天上午要谈的话题。在中国，我们本着精诚合作的惠普精神来协助贵国构建电子化的世界。今天晚些时候，我将和徐市长出席惠普（中国）公司和上海信息港合作协议的签字仪式。根据协议，双方将建立一个实验室，共同开发电子商务解决方案。

For many years now, HP has been working towards a world of pervasive information technology that will characterize the 21st century. We call it the Electronic World, and it has four different ingredients. First, there's the Extended Enterprise infrastructure. This foundation of networked systems is based on distributed computing and the Internet. And it allows businesses and people to extend their reach across the boundaries of time and space. Second, there's the sphere of Electronic Business. People are bringing their business processes to "the Net". And they are using the Net to create entirely new businesses. It's very exciting, and it's happening very fast. But that's not the whole story.

多年来，惠普公司孜孜不倦地朝着建设这样一个目标而奋斗：迎接一个信息技术无所不在的21世纪。我们称其为电子化世界。它具有四个不同的部分。首先是扩展型企业基础结构。这一网络化系统基于分布式计算和因特网。它可以使企业和个人的发展跨越时空的界限。第二个部分是电子业务。人们在网上处理业务，并利用网络开创崭新的业务。这一业务令人倍感兴奋鼓舞，且发展迅猛。但这只是其中的一部分。
