IBM has enjoyed a relationship with Chinathat has endured for more than half a century
IBM 和中國的合作已長達半個多世紀。
But I do not believe there has ever been a more exciting time to be doing business here,
但是我認為和中國做生意，以前從未有過比現在更令人鼓舞的時刻；
a vast new opportunity is created by your sweeping modernizationand ambitious government-led reform programsfor thousands of state-owned enterprises
因為貴國的全面現代化和在政府領導下的對成千上萬國營企業雄心勃勃的改革計劃為我們提供了新的、廣闊的機遇。
This transformation,I believe,will underscore the critical importance of information technology
我認為，對中國而言，信息技術作為在競爭中取勝和真正經濟增長的推動力量，
as a driver of competitive success and real economic growth for China
它在這場變革中的重要作用將得到進一步加強。
So today,I want to talk to you about what I believehas to be the agenda of a leader of an enterprise-business,
所以，今天我想和各位談一談信息技術。
government agency,university,hospital,bank anywhere in the world-the agenda regarding this technology
我認為它必定憶列入世界地企事業機構領導人的議事日程，不管是企業、政府部門，大學，醫院還是銀行。
Some of you know that before I came to IBM,my backgrund was a lot like yours
各位當中有些人知道，在來IBM任職之前，我的背景在許多方面和你們都是一樣的。
I was a customer of IBM
我那時是IBM的客戶，
I was a customer of the computer industry
或者說我是計算機產業的客戶。
I arrived at IBM with a firmly held convictionthat this technology is one of those transformational technologies
到IBM任職時，我有一個堅定的信念：信息技術是一項劃時代的技術；
that comes along every hundred years or so and changes everything in our society
這樣的技術一百年左右才會出現一次，而且它的到來會改變人類社會的一切。
Today,in almost every industry in almost every part of the world
今天，在世界上幾乎每一個角落的幾乎任何一個產業里，
there are many examples of enterprises applying this technology challenges for their competitors,
都有許多企業通過運用信息技術來獲得競爭優勢，向競爭對手展開挑戰。
I think we're seeing informantion technology reach the point
that all transformational technologies reach
我認為我們正在目睹信息技術進入所有劃時代的技術都會經歷的一個重要階段，
when they are no longer controlled by just a small group of skilled professionals,and they cross over to mass acceptance and ubiquity
它們不再只為少數專業人員所掌握，而轉變到為大眾所接受，并無處不在。
Networking technology is still in is infancy,yet it has reached already the point where we can call it a new mass medium
雖然網絡技術還處于初級階段，但是它已經可以被稱為一個新的大眾媒體。
Less than years after the birth of the World Wide Web,some million people are online around the world,
萬維網的誕生還不到五年，全球已有九千萬人在使用它。
and that number will be hundreds of millions before too long
不需要多久，它使用的人將數以萬計。
Here in China,the number of Internet users has nearly doubled since just last October,to more than million users
在中國，自去年月到現在，互聯網使用者的人數已翻了一翻，達到多萬。
And I've seen statistics that say your Internet populationwill exceed million people by the year
我所掌握的的統計資料表明，到年，中國互聯網使用者將超過百萬人。
