It has become a buzzword within the high-tech community, but when asked what’s it about and its impact on our life，I’m afraid manypeople are not able to answer right away. As a matter of fact, it’s already a part of daily life for many. The promise of nanotechnology is almost unlimited. Some may think nanotechnology is all in the future; however, that’s not the case. In the US, nano trousers are already on the market. They feel like ordinary cotton trousers but there’s a thin nano layer, which resists spills and stains.So, if you spill your drink, it just runs off. The trousers don’t even get damp.Nano trousers are just one application of the technology. Nano can be used to produce almost anything you want.Nanotechnology is the science of the very small. But how small is small? Well, imagine I were shrunk to a size 1000 times smaller. I’d be about as big as the eye of a fly, but nano is even smaller than that. In fact, much, much smaller. Imagine I were shrunk again, this time by 10,000 times. I’d be about as big as a virus, but nano is even smaller tha n that. You’d have to shrink me another 100 times to get the nano version of me, a billion times smaller than the real me.Industry is already building devices on that scale. In Cambridge, they’re making very thin nano layers ofa plastic that emits light when an electric current runs through it. The technology will soon be on the market, in mobile phones with very bright, energy-saving displays.People will see these developments initially in fairly simple products like mobile phones, but ultimately they will be in TVs, and when the technology moves on to plastics, you’ll have a roll-down TV that you can hang on your wall.Nanotechnology can also be applied to medicine. Ultimately, it will be applied in making a chip that can go into the body, which will release a drug or a whole variety of drugs at an assigned period of time, thus having a healing effect on the body. Nanotechnology can be used in many other fields which are closely related to our daily life as well. The promise of nanotechnology is almost unlimited. That’s why the government is backing it strongly, yet still many critics fear possible side effects.12.5 “.biz”的光明未来Anchor: It’s been 15 years since the launch of popular web domain names like “.com”, “.org”, and “.net”. Now, there are new names about to enter the internet, like “.info”, “.name”, “.coop”, and “.biz”. “.biz”is the domain name built for business. It isoperated by a company called “NeuLeveal”. Today we are glad to have its chief executive officer, Doug Almonchant, join us on the show. Welcome, Mr. Almonchant.嘉宾：谢谢。
我很高兴来参加这个节目。
Anchor: The domain name industry has maintained rapid growth around the world over the years. Do you think that is an inevitable trend?嘉宾：当然。
互联网域名和域名业的增长显然是全球性的。
从大约1999年7月起，在美国以外新注册的域名比在美国注册的要多，我们预计这种趋势会继续，我们相信域名行业会迅猛发展，全世界互联网的发展也会如此。
Anchor: Well, what is the major feature of “.biz”, as compared with other domain names?嘉宾：我们满足的是世界各地企业的需要，针对性很强，不管这个企业是大还是小。
.biz很灵活，可以升级，并且很安全，能够为企业提供在当今激烈的竞争环境下所需要的各种先进技术。
最重要的是，.biz能够让企业成为国际市场上的真正对手。
我们的口号是“帮助您更好地做生意”。
Anchor: If I had a business and I wanted a .biz name, I would go through a retailer to buy the name from you. How much are you making out of me?嘉宾：事实上，NeuLevel 一年从每个注册域名上收到5.3美元的费用。
Anchor: In that case, it’s significantly lower than a website some two years ago. It seems that the domain name now is a really fantastic business, but what will it be like in two years, in your opinion? Will it still be a fantastic business?嘉宾：我相信随着用户的增加，费用还会降低。
我们认为这是一个很棒的生意。
其实，.biz开始使用的时间并不长，而我们接受注册的速度是每小时36000个。
这是很惊人的。
我们相信，.biz很快会成为企业在互联网上做生意的地方。
我们还会围绕.biz提供其他增值服务，也将有越来越多的企业利用.biz这个域名在网上进行有趣的、信息含量高的智能化的交易。
毫无疑问，在未来几年中，域名生意还将继续发展。
