Passage Two
短文二
If you are young and thinking about your career,
如果你还年轻，还在考虑职业，
you'll want to know where you can make a living. Well,
你想知道在哪里可以谋生。
there's going to be a technological replacement of a lot of knowledge-intensive jobs in the next twenty years,
未来20 年，一大批知识密集型的工作将会因为技术原因而被取代。
particularly in the two largest sectors of the labor force with professional skills.
特别是具有专业技能的两个最大的劳动力领域。
One is teaching,and the other, healthcare.
一个是教学，另一个是医疗。
You have so many applications and software and platforms that are going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields,
这两个领域有这么多应用、软件和平台提供信息和服务，
which means a lot of healthcare and education sectors will be radically changed and a lot of jobs will be lost.
意味着许多医疗和教育部门将发生根本性的变革，许多工作岗位将会流失。
Now, where will the new jobs be found?
现在，在哪里可以找到新工作？
Well, the one sector of the economy that can't be easily duplicated by even smart technologies is the caring sector, the personal care sector.
嗯，个人护理领域的工作内容不可能轻易地被技术取代，即使是智能技术也不行。
That is, you can't really get a robot to do a great massage or physical therapy,
你不能要求一个机器人做按摩或物理治疗效果很好，
or you can't get the kind of personal attention you need with regard to therapy or any other personal service.
或者说，你无法得到个性化的治疗或服务，
There could be very high-end personal services.
高端的个人服务可能会出现。
Therapists do charge a lot of money.
治疗师们的收费都很髙。
I think there's no limit to the amount of personal attention and personal care people would like if they could afford it.
我认为，如果人们能够负担得起，那么他们对个性化的需求是无止尽的。
But the real question in the future is how come people afford these things if they don't have money,
但未来真正的问题是，如果人们没有钱，怎么买得起这些东西，
because they can't get a job that pays enough.
因为他们找不到一份足够多薪水的工作。
That's why I wrote this book,
这就是我写这本书的原因，
which is about how to reorganize the economy for the future when technology brings about destructive changes to what we used to consider high-income work.
这本书主要讨论的是在未来社会，当技术给我们曾经认为高收入的工作带来破坏性的变化的时候，应该如何重新规划未来的经济结构。
