【速度2-5】 2 0 53s 0 57s 【越障1-14】6:32 一、福岛核爆炸事件对核电站主要控股者组织TECPO的影响： 1. 财产损失巨大，无力补偿损失，亏损已经超过了总资产十几万亿，股价下跌了90% 2. 本来全国很多国民都投资了核电站，现在人们都失去信心了，股民越来越少 所以TECPO面临着倒闭的危机。 二、控股者已无法解决一个问题，需要政府帮助。 解决办法只有三个：1.倒闭  2. 政府填补损失  3. 什么liability 自身恢复商业运转能力 具体还需要TECPO进一步与政府协商，大概能在今年夏天结束前把问题协商好。 TECPO自身也要商讨出一个系统化的解决方案。 三、但政府是不是要临时地实行nationalism，国家集权。 四、可以肯定的是，企业和人们都对核能源“敬而远之”，很多产业都尽量不用核能了。       原本整个日本都是很依靠核能源的，现在以至未来核电站大概会越来越少，       企业和人们对能源的安全性更加重视了。

【速度2-5】 0行 0行 56s 59s 58s 【越障】 7:13 今天这篇讲的是日本TECPO在地震后核泄漏事件发生后受到的影响。     1. 地震之后的核泄漏事件造成的危害，使得目前TECPO面临巨大的赔偿金，公司董事会甚至曾经有人提出要集体自杀以还债。     2. TECPO在核危机之后的变化：股指暴跌90%，穆迪、普尔先后降低对其评级指数，还使得电费猛增。     3. 介绍公司倒闭可能造成的危害的：     1）介绍了有哪些人持有多少TECPO的股份，其中包括了日本的一些地方政府。某个地方的市长（该地是TECPO的持股人）支持，但是还是要求TECPO控制其运作。     2）电费会进一步提高（是不是在这里说的来着不确定了。。）         总之，TECPO面临的巨额负债如果全部自己负担的话一定会造成公司破产，而由于公司涉及面过大，如果破产涉及面太广。     4. 因为公司的倒闭会造成的严重危害，政府决定贷款给TECPO，帮其度过这个困难。对于政府的选择，有两种反对的声音。     1）说政府的援助拯救了TECPO和涉及到的广大股东，但是代价是老百姓的负担更重了。因为援助资金的来源是税收。     2）觉得TECPO有了资金之后会故技重施，担心将来又会出现这样的安全问题。

Defending Free Speech With a 'Panic Button'计时1 This is the VOA SpecialEnglish Technology Report. We reported last week onprojects by the Obama administration to increase Internet freedom around theworld. Alec Ross, a senior adviser to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,recently discussed these efforts with VOA's Persian News Network. ALEC ROSS: "We're now ina moment of time where it's increasingly the case that the government is tryingto stifle what their people think, what their people say and what content theyaccess. And so we're spending this money so that values that are centuries old-- that go to things like the freedom of expression, the freedom of the pressand the freedom to organize -- are available in the digital age." The New York Times says theState Department expects to have spent about seventy million dollars on theseefforts by the end of this year. Alec Ross says one projectinvolves a so-called panic button. People could use it to quickly remove a listof contacts from a phone or computer. ALEC ROSS: "What'shappening right now is people are being arrested and they are being forced tohand over their passwords, a lot of the times, for their social media accounts.And with a panic button, what it does, is it not only protects the individual,it protects her or his community." Freedom House, anorganization in Washington, released a "Freedom on the Net" report inApril. The group studied thirty-seven countries. It found that twenty-three ofthem had arrested Internet users for content posted online. Nineteen of thecountries at least partially controlled international connections to theInternet. And at least twelve had interfered with networks, listened in onpeople's communications or taken down websites. （286 words） 计时2 Iran has one of the mostextensive systems of online censorship. The Iranian government controls allInternet entry points into the country. Iran has also announced plans to buildits own national Internet. But the Wall Street Journalreported last month that few people think Iran could completely cut its linksto the wider Internet. The newspaper said Iran could move toward a system oftwo Internets like a few other countries. Ken Berman leadsanti-censorship projects for the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the parentagency of VOA. KEN BERMAN: "China isconsidering the same thing, of basically having a closed system that would be hardfor outside information to get in on." Alec Ross at the StateDepartment says "the global community should respond" whereverfreedom of expression is under attack. ALEC ROSS: "Sometimesthat is in countries that have more closed information environments. Butoftentimes, frankly, it's in countries where the United States has friendlyrelationships with their governments, but where we have differences of opinionsabout how open an information environment should be." And that's the VOA SpecialEnglish <a href="http://www.51voa.com/Technology_Report_1.html" target="_blank">TechnologyReport</a>, written by June Simms. You can find part one of our reportat 51voa.com.

The Obamaadministration is leading an effort to deploy what some people call liberationtechnology in repressive countries. The New York Times reported last week thatthese efforts include "shadow" Internet and mobile phone systems.These are secret networks designed to operate independently of a government'scontrol. （265 words） 计时3 Dissidents inthe Middle East, North Africa and other countries are increasingly using theInternet, social media and mobile phones. Some governments have taken steps toblock or spy on their communications. Officials inEgypt shut down Internet connections in February in a failed attempt to stopdemocracy protests. The Syrian government took similar action earlier thismonth. The Obamaadministration is seeking to provide other ways for activists to communicatewith less risk that they might be caught. Ken Berman isthe director of information security at the Broadcasting Board of Governors,the parent agency of Voice of America. KEN BERMAN:"The State Department was looking to allow, I'll say, cyber dissidents,cyber activists, to communicate among themselves and to do that in a restrictedenvironment. They are looking at ways to set up, you might say, theseindependent networks." The New YorkTimes reported that one of these projects is known as "Internet in asuitcase." The idea is to put equipment in a suitcase that could besecretly transported across a border. Then it could be used to quicklyestablish a wireless Internet connection over a wide area. Anotherproject seeks to avoid Taliban interference with cellphone networks inAfghanistan by using towers on American bases. VOA has itsown anti-censorship programs, led by Ken Berman. KEN BERMAN:"So what we're trying to do is give tools to allow people in countriesthat have hostile regimes to circumvent, to go around, the blockage or thefiltering that their own governments do." （254 words） 计时4 During aspeech in February Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Internet freedom"one of the grand challenges of our time." The State Department saysits efforts are aimed at supporting free speech and human rights, notoverthrowing governments. Ken Bermansays whether or not these two things can be separated is a source of continuingdebate. KEN BERMAN:"An educated population is what I think these tools strive for. Whetherthat will lead to government change, whether that will lead to internal reform,it depends on the country. There are so many dynamics in play in so manydifferent countries, it's hard to know what affect open information has." And that'sthe VOA Special English Technology Report, written by June Simms. We'll havemore on this story next week. We'll look at Iran's plan to build its ownnational internet, disconnected from the rest of the world. Our programs areonline at 51voa.com. I'm Steve Ember. Trying to Improve Food Safety With a Camera This is the VOA SpecialEnglish Agriculture Report. Europe's deadly outbreak of arare form of E. coli bacteria has brought new attention to food safety issues.One of the problems when people get sick from food is that the simplestquestion is often difficult or even impossible to answer. Just what did thepeople eat that made them sick? Of course, one way to avoidthese medical mysteries is to keep dangerous organisms out of the food supply.This is easier said than done, but scientists keep looking for new ways. Scientists in the UnitedStates have developed an experimental system that uses a high-tech opticalscanner. The inspection system is meant for packing houses where produce issorted for market. （287 words） 计时5 The system is designed toidentify the presence of contaminants like soil or animal waste on freshproduce. These can be sources of Escherichia coli, better known as E. coli. E.coli bacteria naturally live in the intestines of humans and many animals. Mostkinds of E. coli are harmless but some can make people sick. The new scanner can also showdamage and imperfections that might make the produce unappealing to shoppers. Scientists designed thesystem at a Department of Agriculture research center in Beltsville, Maryland.Moon Kim of the Agricultural Research Service led the team. MOON KIM: "We wererequested, we were asked, to develop a method to detect contamination inproduce. So we started with the apple as the model sample." The scanner uses a high-speedcamera placed over the conveyer belt that moves the produce along. As theapples move along the belt, the scanner captures images of each piece of fruit. The system is equipped withan ultraviolet lamp and a halogen lamp that produces near-infrared light. Aspectrograph device can use the near-infrared light bouncing off an apple toshow evidence of damage. The ultraviolet light can show contaminants. Moon Kim says the team hopesthe system will be available before long. MOON KIM: "We aretargeting for development in commercial plants for the next severalyears." The scanner can direct asorting machine to separate the bad apples from the good ones. The system iscurrently able to show the surface of only half the apple as it speeds by. Theinventers hope to improve the process so it can show the whole surface. (271 words)

Desire, democracy and Deleuze/Guattari Escaping for a while from the suffocating Turkish summer in a beautifully carpeted teashop in Istanbul near the Hagia Sophia, we marvel at the unbelievable flows of energy exuded by one of the most vibrant and variegated cities in the world. It is as if every nook and cranny of this metropolis of 13-million people has been harnessed to capture the attention of visitors, and, of course, their dollars or euros. Istanbul makes Johannesburg look tame, and seems to exemplify the process of energy-flows described by Deleuze and Guattari in Anti-Oedipus. Deleuze/Guattari encourage us to stop thinking substantialistically, as if the world comprises discrete entities, unconnected to one another. Following the thinking of Spinoza, and more recentlyBergson, their world is one of perpetual process, where entities and individuals are the illusory productions of flows of desire. What we think of as a concrete individual is a concatenation of what they call desiring machines — eyes, noses, ears, tongues, hands, sexual organs, organs for excretion, and so on. At any given moment, desiring machines are linked to one another — the hand picks up a teacup, the nose smells the tea aroma, the eyes see its brownish colour — according to the law of binarity, and this extends in all directions, so that multiple connections between desiring machines extend rhizomatically everywhere. The illusion of existing things and individuals arises when a third event interrupts binary couplings: for a moment, intermittently, when flows of desire are interrupted by other such flows (when the eye is attracted by a beautiful woman walking past, and the tea-sipping stops temporarily), and something resembling identity is produced. An undifferentiated thing, seemingly unchanged through time. They call this illusory entity the body-without-organs, which is unproductive, but itself produced by flows of desire. What Deleuze/Guattari describe here is a process-conception of the world, which is accurate when one is able to suspend all the usual prejudices that construct the world as a collection of objects and bodies. The latter are experienced, after all, in a series of events, all of which are a function of need or desire, but which are endowed with attributes of permanence. (In physics, too, the illusion of things is replaced with the notion of the world as a totality of perpetually transforming energy.) Interestingly, Deleuze/Guattari see capital as exacerbating the process nature of reality, in so far as it is constantly striving to set free the productive flows of every possible domain of experience. It can only do this by “deterritorialising” these domains — breaking them into different desiring machines, the way that speculators unbundle large unwieldy companies and sell each part for profit, before the parts start functioning again by unleashing new flows of productive desire. However, capital can only do this in so far as its deterritorialising strategy is matched by the reterritorialisation of society by state bureaucracies and laws which prevent society from collapsing into pure exchanges of energy. Workers and consumers bear the brunt of such an alternating process. They are colonised, first by capital transforming their own desires into exchange value, and secondly, by bureaucracies and laws which restrict the avenues of their flows of desire. But perhaps the richest hermeneutic potential of Deleuze/Guattari’s process-ontology of desiring-production lies in the political domain, specifically in the understanding of democracy. If democracy is always “still to come” (Derrida), it means that the “deterritorialisation” of the body politic — the breaking up of dormant, torpid political bodies-without-organs, and the liberation of democratic potential in the form of flows of desire — is an urgent imperative, lest the truly democratic potential bound up in torpid representational structures remain untapped forever. What happened on Tahrir Square recently exemplifies such a setting-free of the desiring-production process of deterritorialisation. By their refusal, even, of elected leaders (which would enable their adversaries to force the process into stagnation), the protesters were able to conduct democracy along the avenues of Deleuze/Guattari’s flows of desiring-production: grouping and regrouping in different configurations from day to day, thus unleashing the democratic power inherent in people considered as concatenations of desiring machines. By refusing so-called “representative democracy”, with its inherent tendency towards manipulation of the populace, and construing the body politic as an aggregate of desiring machines, the flows of democratising desire can be harnessed against the forces of political and economic repression. 来源：<a href="http://www.thoughtleader.co.za/bertolivier/2011/07/10/desire-democracy-and-deleuzeguattari/" target="_blank">http://www.thoughtleader.co.za/bertolivier/2011/07/10/desire-democracy-and-deleuzeguattari/</a>

（越障1-14） 太慢了，主要是因为想记住内容把时间都忽略了，都9分钟了。。失败。。彻底。。。 大概意思是讲日本的一个叫fukushima的地区遭到强烈的核辐射影响，所以因此各个资助核电站的股东而召开的Tepco会议，主要议题是解决科辐射的发生原因责任问题和之后的恢复问题。其中一些人希望关闭核电站的要求被否决，但是股东的损失却在随着核泄漏而增加。其中涉及到了政府部门和地方有关核部门的究责问题，并且也阐述了此核电站曾经是日本企业主要的核心。在此，一些人希望政府可以筹集资金并予以重新建设，但决定资金的多少不是一件容易的事情，而且这也不能保证bailout可以达到真正的效果，所以也有一些人反对此措施，由于这只是短期的解决问题的方式，所以长期的问题还会表现在核爆有可能会进一步导致银行破产和出售企业股票等等一系列的负面效果。很多政府要员希望减少核站的使用，并且3/4的民众也希望减少其使用，但是日本现在却在面临着能源供给不足的问题，所以如果重新对核战进行建设可能是对恢复经济的一个好的措施，但是大多数人持保守意见。 （速度2-5） 1. 半行 2. 53s 3. 60s 4. 1行 5. 48s
