情態副詞

Space - extending infinitely in all directions.

Minds strain and stretch to unlock its mysteries.

yet in that short span of time, space has taught us much.

The more we learn about galaxies, stars and planets,

the more enlightened our own world becomes.

With the advent of the space age, we have for the first time

seen our tiny world suspended in the dark void,

showing none of the artificial boundaries that divide humankind.

and we must all strive to protect it for ourselves

We've learned that the Earth is a perfect, living, breathing sphere.

Once considered unlimited, now we know better.

making resources, food supplies, and the land itself more precious.

Social problems such as crime, debt, poverty,

disease, and incompetent governments compound the problems -

problems that aren’t solved by politics

We are losing faith and growing impatient

as we watch these conditions spread, and rightly so,

since practical solutions are within reach.

We are approaching a time when we must decide upon a new direction

The answers of yesterday are no longer relevant.

We can now act decisively with a new direction,

you will see a vision of the future with a fresh approach.

A vision with human and environmental concern.

The Venus Project presents an alternative design for our culture.

It provides an attainable direction for a bright and better future

by applying the latest technologies directly to our social system

Through education and the intelligent application of what we already know,

we can eventually eliminate war, poverty, hunger,

[Jacque Fresco] There's no place to hide today -

corruption, seems to be prevalent all over the world.

Our main aim and our main reason for funding

are to ensure social and economic stability,

recreation, and access to all the amenities

that a prosperous innovative society can provide.

These goals are not merely a paper proclamation.

They can be translated into a physical reality

A democracy that does not ensure the necessities of life is meaningless.

So I would say the more we invest in human beings,

in warmth, love, education, good fellowship,

and all of the environment surrounding us.

would be damaging to ourselves and our own aim.

We do it because it's the decent and constructive thing to do.

The American free enterprise system does generate incentive.

However, it also creates greed, corruption, crime,

The consuming pursuit of money that grips many in our society

and has led us to our present self-centered values.

What'll happen if we continue to automate production

and the majority of people all over the world

will not have the purchasing power to buy products.

So what good is a factory of turning out automobiles

if they have an automation plant, and the automobiles turned out automatically,

who is going to be around to be able to buy those cars?

So if an automobile factory or any other factory goes completely automatic

and they don't have the purchasing power,

you tell me how the free enterprise system can function.

It comes to an end. And when it comes to an end,

there become gangs and riots, and crime begins to rise.

I'm not advocating this, I'm not for this.

I'm just trying to describe what most likely will happen.

And if that happens, then a military dictatorship will come in,

in which people will tell you how to live and what to do.
