逐句精讲

① Of course, the use of the Internet isn’t the only way to defeat poverty.

词汇

defeat /dɪˈfiːt/作及物动词，意为“击败，战胜”。

参考译文

当然，互联网的使用并非战胜贫困的唯一方式。

② And the Internet is not the only tool we have. ③ But it has enormous potential.

enormous /ɪˈnɔːməs/是形容词，意为“巨大的，庞大的”。
potential /pəˈtenʃl/这里作名词，意为“潜力，可能性”，在第二段第二句中是作形容词。

参考译文

而且互联网不是我们拥有的唯一途径，但是其潜力巨大。

第四段

① To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment. ② Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States. ③ When the United States built its industrial infrastructure, it didn’t have the capital to do so.

逐句精讲

① To take advantage of this tool, some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment.

词汇

take advantage of是常见搭配，意为“利用”。
impoverished /ɪmˈpɒvərɪʃt/是形容词，意为“赤贫的”。
get over sth这里意为“解决问题，克服困难”。
outdated /ˌaʊtˈdeɪtɪd/是形容词，意为“过时的，陈旧的”。
anti-colonial /ˌæntɪkə'ləʊnjəl/是形容词，意为“反殖民主义的”，colonial就是“殖民的，殖民地的”。
prejudice /ˈpredʒudɪs/是名词，意为“偏见，成见”。
with respect to 是固定搭配，意为“关于某事，谈到某事”。
investment /ɪnˈvestmənt/是名词，意为“投资”。

参考译文

为了利用这种途径，一些赤贫的国家在外国投资方面将不得不克服他们过时的反殖民主义偏见。

② Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States.
