读得真好!我严要求使劲挑刺哈。
Let me give you one example. Let’s say(有点儿偏see) I want to create a mobile phone application that would allow people to rate government ministries, including ours, on their responsiveness and efficiency and also to ferret out and report corruption. The hardware required to make this idea work is already in the hands of billions of potential users. And the software involved would be relatively inexpensive to develop and deploy.
If people took advantage of this tool(稍微注意一下l,我看到有书上说要先发一个schwa,然后l,almost like adding a new syllable,你试试), it would help us target our foreign assistance spending, improve lives, and encourage foreign investment in countries(好像有点off) with responsible governments. However, right now, mobile application developers have no financial assistance to pursue that project on their own, and the State Department currently lacks a mechanism to make it happen. But this initiative should help resolve that problem and provide long-term dividends from modest investments in innovation. We’re going to work with experts(要浊化) to find the best structure for this venture, and we’ll need the talent and resources of technology companies and nonprofits in order to get the best results most quickly. So for those of you in the room who have this kind of talent, expertise(same as expert), please consider yourselves invited to help us.
