美國(guó)商業(yè)大亨傳奇 第71期:新的對(duì)手(13)

The inventions,the things that literally almost comeout of nowhere,require incredible vision and supportfrom leadership,because those are big leaps.

創(chuàng)新 讓事物從無(wú)到有 這除了需要非凡的想象力 還需要領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力支持 因?yàn)檫@些是巨大的飛躍

If a leader doesn't take that invention and reallyembrace it and own it, it won't happen.

如果沒(méi)有出色的領(lǐng)袖來(lái)推動(dòng) 飛躍就不會(huì)發(fā)生

Morgan has gone against his father's advice by backing Edison,but he's maintained one of therules he's learned.

摩根沒(méi)有聽(tīng)從父親的意見(jiàn) 他選擇了支持愛(ài)迪生 但他堅(jiān)持了自己所學(xué)的一條原則

How much competition do you have, Edison?

你有多少競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手 愛(ài)迪生

Nothing worthy of note.

不值一提

Edison is ignoring what's potentially the biggest challenge to his design for electricity, and itcomes from inside his own lab.

愛(ài)迪生忽略了用電設(shè)計(jì)同自己不同的最大潛在挑戰(zhàn) 這個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)就來(lái)自于他自己的實(shí)驗(yàn)室

His apprentice, Nikola Tesla.

他的學(xué)徒尼古拉·特斯拉

Nikola Tesla,from a very young age, was obsessed with electricity.

尼古拉·特斯拉自很年少起 就對(duì)電非常著迷

And when he first meets Thomas Edison,initially he worships him...

他第一次見(jiàn)托馬斯·愛(ài)迪生時(shí)就開(kāi)始崇拜他

Mr. Edison, sir.

愛(ài)迪生先生

What is it?

什么

I was wondering if you had chance to look at my AC motor design.

我在想 您是否可以看看我的交流馬達(dá)設(shè)計(jì)

Nobody's interested in your design, Tesla.

沒(méi)人對(duì)你的設(shè)計(jì)感興趣 特斯拉

Alternating current is not safe,which is why we use direct current.

交流電不安全 這就是我們使用直流電的原因

Tesla has developed a new form of electricity known as "alternating current", or "AC".

特斯拉發(fā)明了一種新的電力形式稱(chēng)作"交流電" 簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)AC

But Edison believes that higher voltage AC is more dangerous than the direct current electricstandard he's pioneered.

但愛(ài)迪生認(rèn)為 高壓交流電比他倡導(dǎo)的直流電更加危險(xiǎn)

I think Edison probably saw Tesla as a junior employee. I mean, remember.

愛(ài)迪生可能是將特斯拉看成了一位沒(méi)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的年輕雇員

Edison is world-famous, and Tesla's just one of many very bright young men who work for him,and the fact that he's pushing AC is no big deal to Edison, because Edison sees himself as theperson who's really solved this problem and made it commercial.

愛(ài)迪生當(dāng)時(shí)已經(jīng)世界有名 而特斯拉只是為他工作的很多聰明年輕人之一 愛(ài)迪生覺(jué)得交流電并不是好主意 因?yàn)樗X(jué)得自己已經(jīng)解決了問(wèn)題 而且已經(jīng)取得了商業(yè)成功
