Time’s Person of the Year:You
《时代周刊》2006年年度人物——你/你们
The “Great Man” theory of history is usually attributed to the Scottish philosopher Thomas Carlyle who wrote that “the history of the world is but the biography of great men.” He believed that it is the few,the powerful and the famous who shape our collective destiny as a species.That theory took a serious beating this year.
“大人物”这一历史理论起于苏格兰哲学家托马斯 卡莱尔.他曾经写道:“世界的历史只是那些大人物们的历史.”他相信正是那些为数不多,那些强有力的和那些著名人物为我们塑造了共同的命运,从而形成了我们这样一个物种.今年这一理论受到了严重挑战.
To be sure,there are individuals we could blame for the many painful and disturbing things that happened in 2006.But look at 2006 through a different lens and you’ll see another story,one that isn’t about conflict or great men.It’s a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before.It’s about the cosmic compendium of Knowledge Wikipedia and million-channel people’s network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace.It’s about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world,but also change the way the world changes.
诚然,有一些发生在2006年令人痛苦不安的事件,我们不得不归咎于一些“个人”.但是从一个不同角度回顾2006年,你会看到一个不同的故事,一个与冲突或伟人们无关的故事.那是就规模来看之前从没见过的一个有关群体和合作的故事.那是有关像宇宙简要一样的维基百科,想有成千上万个频道的老百姓的YOUTUBE,以及像网络大都市一样的MYSPACE的故事.那是有关从为数极少的几大人物手中夺过权利,无偿帮助别人,不仅改变世界,而且也改变了世界变化的方式.
The tool that makes this possible is the World Wide Web.It’s a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter.Silicon Valley consultants call it Web 2.0,as if it were a new version of some old software.But it’s really a revolution.
使得这一些成为可能的工具就是互联网.这是一种可以将数以百万计的网民的微小的力量聚少成多,并使他们变得重要的工具.硅谷的顾问们把它叫WEB2.0,仿佛它是来自旧软件的新版本一样.但是这真是一场革命.
And we are so ready for it.You can learn more about how Americans live just by looking at the backgrounds of YouTube videos — those rumpled bedrooms and toy-strewn basement rec rooms — than you could from 1,000 hours of network television.
我们已经为它准备好了.你可以通过收看YOUTUBE视频了解美国人是如何生活的——乱七八糟的卧室,玩具满地的地下室,而这要比通过收看1000个小时的电视节目理解的多得多.
And we didn’t just watch,we also worked.Like crazy.We made Facebook profiles and Second Life avatars and received books at Amazon and recorded podcast.We blogged about our candidates losing and wrote songs about getting dumped.We camcordered bombing runs and built open-source software.
而且我们并不只是在收看,我们还在行动.像疯子一样.我们注册MYSPACE,创建模拟人生角色,并且在AMAZON订书,录制播客.我们为了竞选失败而发表博客,为了被抛弃而创作歌曲;我们拍摄轰炸事件,制作开源软件.
America loves its solitary geniuses — its Einsteins,its Edisons,its Jobses — but those lonely dreamers may have to learn to play with others.Car companies are running open design contests.Reuters is carrying blog postings alongside its regular news feed.Microsoft is working overtime to fend off user-created Linux.We’re looking at an explosion of productivity and innovation,and it’s just getting started,as millions of minds that would otherwise have drowned in obscurity get backhauled into the global intellectual economy.
Who are these people?Seriously,who actually sits down after a long day at work and says,I’m not going to watch Lost(电视剧) tonight.I’m going to turn on my computer and make a movie starring my pet iguana?I’m going to blog about my state of mind or the state of the nation or the steak-fries at the new bistro down the street?Who has that time and that energy and that passion?
The answer is,you do.And for seizing the reins of the global media,for founding and framing the new digital democracy,for working for nothing and beating the pros at their own game,TIME’s Person of the Year for 2006 is you.
