這是個變幻莫測的時刻，一個引起恐慌的時刻…

PS:30秒左右有破折號

It is an uncertain moment, a scary moment. It is the kind of moment in history when, to summarize in the words of Alfred North Whitehead, familiar patterns fade, familiar solutions fail, and familiar options disappear. Of course, the books and periodicals. that are warning society about the removal of jobs, "the end of work", and wage decreases only serve to increase public anxiety - a slow-motion variation of shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater. These alarming forecasts are largely simple projections of the past two or three decades of workplace trends. However, in the absence of plausible alternative explanations for the gloomy economic news of the past 15 to 20 years and the gloomier prospects implicit in the projections of those trends.
這是個變幻莫測的時刻，一個引起恐慌的時刻。我們不妨用阿爾弗雷德?諾思?懷特海德的話來加以歸納：在歷史上的這種時刻，熟悉的模式在消失，熟悉的解決辦法在失效，熟悉的選擇也在消失。當然，那些向社會警告工作崗位消失、“工作完蛋了”和工資減少的書刊雜志只不過是起到了增加公眾焦慮的作用──這就好像是在播放有人在擁擠的戲院里大叫“著火啦”那種景象的慢鏡頭。 這些嚇人的預測大體上是在過去20或30年的職場趨勢的基礎上對未來所作的簡單推斷。然而，由于對過去15至20年里令人沮喪的經(jīng)濟信息及暗含在那些趨勢預測中的更為令人沮喪的前景沒有其他合理的解釋。
