However, it was the onset of the Civil War in 1861 that provided the great stimulus for the mechanization of northern agriculture.

但1861北战争之初，它促进了北方农业机械化发展。

Mechanization meant superior harvests and more food, mass produced goods, cheaper and faster travel and communication, and usually a better quality of life.

机械化代表着优越收成，更多食物，和规模生产货物更加便宜和快速旅行和通讯，和通常更好生活品质。

Mechanization isn't the answer, either - not yet, at least.

That infrastructure then powers productive centers, such as factories, agricultural mechanization, commercial enterprises and the like.

那些基础设施随后为生产中心供能，比如工厂、机械化农业、商业企业等等。

Well, mechanization has for centuries, actually, taken jobs, but as long as profits were being reinvested back into production, then it didn't matter: new jobs appeared.

然而机械化过去几个世纪已经取代了一些工作，但只要利润持续重新投入生产，这个趋势丝毫不重要：新工作机会会出现。

Even with ingenious mechanization, mass-production still required skilled labor.

即使有了巧妙机械化，规模生产仍然要熟练劳动力。

The mechanization of agriculture and industry made work more hazardous and injuries increasingly common.

农业和工业机械化使得工作更加危险，工伤也越来越常见。

And so eventually the mechanization process was stopped.

最终机械化进程被停止了。

Even before mechanization, coordination from managers enabled mass production.

早机械化之前，管理者协调能力就已推动了规模生产实现。

So think about mechanization and mechanical engineering, and then electricity and electrical engineering.

所以想想机械化和机械工程，然后是电力和电气工程。

Yeah, which we're seeing through mechanization, aren't we?

是，我们正通过机械化见证这一现象，不是吗？

Environmentalists like Ligui of Oregon Wild also point to mechanization.

像俄勒冈野地组织利古伊这样环保人士也指出了机械化影响。

Of course, I hope to use the skills I have mastered and introduce them to our friends in Africa, alongside new innovations, to help them gradually increase their production through mechanization.

当然，我希望能运用所掌握技能， 并结合新创新技术， 向我们非洲朋友介绍，以帮助他们通过机械化逐步提高产量。

The book, as you might have guessed from the title, is about the question of mechanization, and what we do as machines displace humans in more and more endeavors.

你可能从书名已经猜到，这本书探讨是机械化问题，以及随着机器越来越多领域取代人类， 我们该如何应对。

Certainly that is, like we've mentioned, a concern with robots generally and with all forms of mechanization and advances in tools.

当然， 这正如我们之前提到，是机器人技术普遍面临问题， 也是所有形式机械化和工具进步所共同面临挑战。
