Transcript of radio broadcast: ANNOUNCER: PEOPLE IN AMERICA -- a program in Special English on the VOICE of America. Every week at this time, we tell the story of a person was important in the history of the United States. Today Steve Ember and Frank Oliver begin the story of industrialist Henry Ford. (MUSIC) VOICE ONE: Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile. But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until eighteen ninety-six. That was eleven years after two Germans -- Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz -- developed the first gasoline-powered automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the factory system that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many manufacturers used this system before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. Others made cars. Henry Ford made better cars. And he sold them for less money. Others built car factories. Henry Ford built the biggest factory of its time. And he made the whole factory a moving production line. Henry Ford had great skills in making machines work. He also had great skills as an organizer. His efforts produced a huge manufacturing company. But those same efforts almost ruined the company he built.

2006年11月26日 ヘンリー・フォード、1863-1947： 彼は、自動車産業に革命をもたらしました。 他の人々は、車を製造しました; 彼は、より良い車を製造しました。ラジオ放送の台本： アナウンサー： アメリカのみなさん－ボイス・オブ・アメリカのスペシャルイングリッシュのプログラムです。 毎週この時刻に、我々は、アメリカ合衆国史で重要だった人物の物語をお伝えします。今日は、スティーヴ・エンバーとフランク・オリバーが、実業家ヘンリー・フォードの物語を始めます。 （音楽） 声1： 多くの人々が、ヘンリー・フォードが自動車を発明したと思っています。しかし、ヘンリー・フォードが、彼の最初の車を造り始めたのは、1896年になってからでした。それは、2人のドイツ人 ― Ｇ・ダイムラーとカール・ベンツ ― が最初のガソリンで動く自動車を開発した11年後のことでした。 ヘンリー・フォードが、労働者を部品のところに行かせる代わりに、自動車の部品を労働者の方へ移動させる工場システムを発明したと、多くの人々は思っています。それも、真実ではありません。 多くのメーカーが、フォード以前にこのシステムを使用していました。 ヘンリー・フォードがしたことは、他人の考えを使って、それらを改良する事でした。 他の人々は、車を製造しました。ヘンリー・フォードは、より良い車を製造しました。そして、彼はそれらの車をより低価格で売りました。他の人々は、自動車工場を建設しました。ヘンリー・フォードは、その当時の最も大きい工場を建設しました。 そして、彼は工場全体を動く生産ラインにしました。 ヘンリー・フォードには、機械を動かすすばらしい技術がありました。彼には、また、まとめ役としてすばらしい技術がありました。彼の努力は、巨大な製造会社を生み出しました。しかし、それらと同じ努力が、彼が築いた会社をもう少しで滅ぼすところでした。

この文を自然に訳して頂ける方。よろしくお願いします;; People say that the 19th century was the era of steam energy, and the 20th century was the era of gasoline engines. Now they say that the 21st century will be the century of electronic energy. We can expect that by 2025,all passenger cars will be electric or hybrid. Interestingly, many small companies in Europe and Asia are putting environmentally friendly affordable electric cars on the market. The Reva Electric Car Company is England, Italy, Cyprus, Spain and Ireland. They are going to be marketed in Australia, Switzerland and Germany soon. Norway also has electric car manufactures. One is the Think Company. It made and sold over 1.000 electric cars there in the late 1990s. Now it is going to expand its market to include America, which already has other companies like Myers Motors, which makes the three-wheeled NmG-1 car, and ZAP. Chinese companies, too, will soon be entering the international electric automobile manufacturing market. However, we should note that the future of the electric car will depend on the development of lighter and longer-lasting batteries and the increase of plug-in stations so that we can travel a long distance in these new cars.

From 1908 to 1914, through trial and error, Henry Ford’s talented team of production managers pioneered the development of the moving conveyor belt and thus changed manufacturing practices forever. Although the technical aspects of the move to mass production were a dramatic financial success for Ford and for the millions of Americans who could now afford cars, for the workers who actually produced the cars, many human and social problems resulted. With simplification process of the work process, workers grew to hate the monotony of the moving conveyor belt. By 1914, Ford’s car plants were experiencing huge employee turnover - often reaching levels as high as 300 or 400 percent per year as workers left because they could not handle the work-induced stress. Henry Ford recognized these problems and made an announcement: From that point on, to motivate his workforce, he would reduce the length of the workday from 9 hours to 8 hours, and the company would double the basic wage from $2.50 to $5.00 per day. This was a dramatic increase, similar to an announcement today of an overnight doubling of the minimum wage. Ford became an internationally famous figure, and the word Fordism was coined for his new approach. Ford’s apparent generosity, however, was matched by an intense effort to control the resources - both human and material - with which his empire was built. He employed hundreds of inspectors to check up on employees, both inside and outside his factories. In the factory, supervision was close and confining. Employees were not allowed to leave their places at the production line, and they were not permitted to talk to one another. Their job was to concentrate fully on the task at hand. Few employees could adapt to this system, and they developed ways of talking out of the sides of their mouths, like ventriloquists, and invented a form of speech that became known as the “Ford Lisp.” Ford’s obsession with control brought him into greater and greater conflict with managers, who were often fired when they disagreed with him. As a result, many talented people left Ford to join his growing rivals. Outside the workplace, Ford went so far as to establish what he called the “Sociological Department” to check up on how his employees lived and the ways they spent their time. Inspectors from this department visited the homes of employees and investigated their habits and problems. Employees who exhibited behaviors contrary to Ford’s standards (for instance, if they drank too much or were always in debt) were likely to be fired. Clearly, Ford’s effort to control his employees led him and his managers to behave in ways that today would be considered unacceptable and unethical and in the long run would impair an organization’s ability to prosper.

よろしければ文章を訳してください宜しくお願いします。 Every planet has an influence on your future and on the future soulmate. Mercury was in Aquarius when you were born. Your soul mate is loyal and faithful. He has modern ideas and thoughts about the way love and romance should be in his life. He may far ahead of his times, so this relationship will be sophisticated and advanced by other peoples standards. He is open to new experiences in life and love. He is not given to deceiving himself or others and will not do so. He will make observations about you. He will take a great interest and curiosity about you. He can be detached, so that while he may be exceedingly interested in what other people say or know about you, he is not influenced by others views, he observes you and sees the truth, sees things that other people cannot always see. And he is perceptive in this. He may be able to see you from a different angle to others, and his insight will be illuminating.
