Forecast for the future
對未來的預測
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to recongize the features of an effective presentation.
本課結束，你將知道有效的陳述有哪些特點。
STUART: In contrast, there's been a population boom since 2005 of more than twenty percent. In fact, it's estimated that by 2010 there'll be more than fifty thousand people living in the downtown area. Can you see that?
自從2005以來，人口比原來激增了25%。事實上，預測到2010年，會有超過50%的人口居住在市中心。你能看到嗎？
LAWYER: Your graphics are pretty small, Stuart.
你的圖有點小，斯圖爾特。
STUART: I'm sorry about that. It's estimated that by 2015 there'll be more than a hundred thousand people living in the downtown Los Angeles area and that figure is estimated to more than triple by the year 2020 to almost half a million people living in the downtown area. Now just think about that, more than sixteen million people living within a fifteen mile radius of the downtown area. That's actually going to lead to an estimated five thousand jobs. long term jobs!
抱歉。預計到2015年，超過10萬人會住在洛杉磯，到了2020年人數預計是三倍多，有50萬人住在市中心。現在來想一想，超過1600萬住在一個半徑為15英里的市中心地區。那也意味著需要大約5000個長期的工作。
STUART: Which admittedly is not the most exciting portion of my presentation but I'll tell you what is, it is this next thing. It is the renovation redevelopment. Would you believe that within the last few years there've been more than twenty five theatres that have come into the downtown area. In fact by 2015 we'll have more theatres than Broadway or Paris and on top of that 4 skyscrapers, office buildings, apartments, condos and shops.
不得不承認，這并不是我的陳述中最精彩的地方，但是我接下來會告訴你。這是一種革新的再發展。你能相信在最后的幾年中，有超過25個電影院入住在市中心。事實上，到了2015年，我們會有比百老匯和巴黎更多的電影院，在4座摩天大樓，辦公建筑，公寓大廈和商店之上。
