Passage Two
短文二
If you are young and thinking about your career,
如果你還年輕，還在考慮職業，
you'll want to know where you can make a living. Well,
你想知道在哪里可以謀生。
there's going to be a technological replacement of a lot of knowledge-intensive jobs in the next twenty years,
未來20 年，一大批知識密集型的工作將會因為技術原因而被取代。
particularly in the two largest sectors of the labor force with professional skills.
特別是具有專業技能的兩個最大的勞動力領域。
One is teaching,and the other, healthcare.
一個是教學，另一個是醫療。
You have so many applications and software and platforms that are going to come in and provide information and service in these two fields,
這兩個領域有這么多應用、軟件和平臺提供信息和服務，
which means a lot of healthcare and education sectors will be radically changed and a lot of jobs will be lost.
意味著許多醫療和教育部門將發生根本性的變革，許多工作崗位將會流失。
Now, where will the new jobs be found?
現在，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，個人護理領域的工作內容不可能輕易地被技術取代，即使是智能技術也不行。
That is, you can't really get a robot to do a great massage or physical therapy,
你不能要求一個機器人做按摩或物理治療效果很好，
or you can't get the kind of personal attention you need with regard to therapy or any other personal service.
或者說，你無法得到個性化的治療或服務，
There could be very high-end personal services.
高端的個人服務可能會出現。
Therapists do charge a lot of money.
治療師們的收費都很髙。
I think there's no limit to the amount of personal attention and personal care people would like if they could afford it.
我認為，如果人們能夠負擔得起，那么他們對個性化的需求是無止盡的。
But the real question in the future is how come people afford these things if they don't have money,
但未來真正的問題是，如果人們沒有錢，怎么買得起這些東西，
because they can't get a job that pays enough.
因為他們找不到一份足夠多薪水的工作。
That's why I wrote this book,
這就是我寫這本書的原因，
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.
這本書主要討論的是在未來社會，當技術給我們曾經認為高收入的工作帶來破壞性的變化的時候，應該如何重新規劃未來的經濟結構。
