下面是美国Verizon公司董事长的一次会议讲话节选,主题是展望新技术在卫生保健领域的应用前景。
And “Revolution” is not too strong a word for what technology can do for health care – but we need to act with more speed and more urgency to make this happen. Policy makers could accelerate the implementation of health IT dramatically with just a few critical reforms.
If we get this right, we have the chance to dramatically improve the quality of life, not just in the U.S., but around the world. If you think about it, there are more than 5 billion wireless phones in use today around the world. Wireless networks cover more than 85 percent of the world’s population. In less developed countries, they’re more pervasive than roads and electricity.
The World Health Organization has just published a report on the fantastic potential for using these wireless networks to deliver m- and e-health care solutions to the world’s population. They note that, while there are lots of small-scale m-health experiments going on, no one has really solved the security, interoperability and standardization problems that are getting in the way of delivering these vital services in asystem-wide,worldwide basis in a secure and interconnected way.
At Verizon we think it’s time to scale up.
We believe in the disruptive power of innovation to transform health care and dramatically improve the quality of life, for America and the world. This is not only one of the world’s great social and moral challenges, but also one of its greatest growth opportunities. We look forward to working with partners across throughout this industry to finally realize the full potential of the health IT revolution.
Thank you.

下面是国家工商行政管理总局领导就2011年中国知识产权发展状况答记者问。
刚才田局长的通报当中其实讲了,我们的商标申请量、注册量和有效注册量都居世界第一,但是我们与发达国家相比,我国仍称不上是商标强国。
主要表现在:一是我们现在的商标注册数量和市场主体数量相比还有比较大的差距,到去年底,我国企业注册数量——包括个体户,市场主体一共是5062万户。那么5062万户拥有的商标是多少呢?是551万件,这就意味着我们9个市场主体1件商标,由市场主体应用商标推动自身发展的意识还不强。
二是我国商标注册数量虽然多,但是世界知名品牌尚少。去年,世界品牌实验室编制的2011年“世界品牌500强”当中,中国只有11个,100强之内中国只有4个,这说明中国品牌的世界竞争力和影响力还不强。
这也说明我们国家的经济规模——因为我们是第二大经济发展体——和发展速度不相适应。三是我们商标专用权的保护虽然取得了很大成效,但是商标侵权的案件还时有发生,市场公平竞争的市场秩序有待进一步的优化,打击侵权假冒的力度还需要继续加强。

用“革命”一词来形容技术可以在卫生保健领域发挥的作用并不太过,但是要实现这项“革命”,我们需要加快脚步,提高紧迫性。政策制订者只需要进行几项关键改革,就可以极大地加快卫生信息技术的应用。
如果我们能做到这点,就有机会大幅提高人们的生活品质——不仅仅是在美国,而是在全世界范围内。想想看,目前全球范围内使用的无线电话超过50亿部,无线网络覆盖了全世界人口的85%。在欠发达国家,无线网络与道路、电力领域相比,覆盖率已更高。
世界卫生组织刚发布了一份报告,展望了通过使用无线网络向全球人口提供移动及电子卫生保健解决方案的美妙前景。他们指出,尽管目前正在进行许多小规模的移动卫生保健实验,但是,还没有一项可以真正解决安全性、互操作性和标准化问题,而这些问题正在妨碍在基于全球的整个系统范围内以安全、互联的方式提供上述重要服务。
我们认为,是时候上一台阶了。
我们相信,创新能够在美国乃至全世界的卫生保健领域施展革命性力量,显著提升生活质量。这不仅是全世界在社会领域、道德领域面临的一项巨大挑战,也是全世界拥有的一个宝贵增长机遇。我们期待与全业界范围内的伙伴合作,最终释放卫生信息技术革命的全部潜能。
谢谢。
第二环节参考译文
Just now, in his earlier remarks, Minister Tian has said that China runs the first in the world in terms of trademark application, registration and valid registration, however, compared with developed countries, China is not yet a strong trademark country.
I say this because of the following reasons. First, the number of trademark registration in China is way behind the number of market players of China. By the end of last year, the companies -- private companies included -- filed 5.51 million trademark applications, but there were altogether 50.62 million companies, it means only one in nine market players registered the trademark. It also tells us that the awareness of the market players to rely on registration of trademark in their development is still weak.
Second, the number of trademark registration. Although the number is big, the number of world-famous brands is small. Last year, according to the statistics of the world brand lab, of the top 500 world-famous brands in 2011, only 11 come from China. And of the top hundred world brands, only four come from China. It tells us that the international competitiveness of Chinese companies is still weak.
This is totally out of proportion of the economic scale of China—being the second largest economy in the world—and its development speed. Third, although we have achieved a lot in protecting trademark rights, there are still cases of trademark infringements and the environment for fair competition and a good market order is yet to be improved, and the efforts to fight trademark infringement still need to be strengthened.
