段落翻译： 上册 Unit1 1.从前网络只是计算机爱好者的游乐场，而现在他拥有任何一个你能想象得到的使用群体：学龄儿童，爱调情的单身，美籍匈牙利人，会计。 Formerly a playground for computer fans, cyberspace now embraces every conceivable constituency that you can image: schoolchildren, flirtatious singles, Hungarian-Americans, accountants. 2.首先要理解什么是网络。 In first order of business is to grasp what cyberspace is. 3.同样的，你可以把网络想象成一个巨大的无边无界的虚拟的地产世界。 In the same way, you could think of cyberspace as a giant and unbounded world of virtual real estate. 4.良好市民迫不及待的得出结论：最好管管它。 Good citizens jump to a conclusion: Better regulate it. 5.不错，规章制度应该在社区内得以实施，但这些规章制度必须由网络空间内各个社区自己来制定，而不是由法庭或华盛顿的政客们来制定。 Yes, community standards should be enforced, but those standards should be set by cyberspace communities themselves, not by the courts or by politicians in Washington. 6.首先，有私人电子邮件交流，和你通过电话进行的交流类似。 First, there are private e-mail conversations, similar to the conversations you have over the telephone. 7.其次，有信息和娱乐服务，人们可以从中下载各种东西，从法律文件和“大型新饭店”名单，到游戏软件或下流图片。 Second, there are information and entertainment services, where people can download anything from legal texts and lists of “great new restaurants” to game software or dirty pictures. 8.第三，有“真正的”社区——在内部互相交流的群体。用地产术语来说，他们就像酒吧、或饭店或澡堂。 Third, there are “real” communities-groups of people who communicate among themselves.
