　　在一段時間里，動力的發展一直是衡量進步和國家在技術上競爭的主要尺度。首先在海上，接著在鐵路上，然后在公路上，后來在天空，最后在太空，越來越快的運動被視為一件無需擔憂的好事，同時，以某種模糊的方式，越來越快的運動被看成是更充分理解世界的一把鑰匙。

　　【參考翻譯】

　　Advances in motive power were for a long while the main way in which progress and national competition in technology were measured.First at sea,then on the railways,then on the roads,in the air and finally in space,more and more rapid movement was seen as an carefree good and also,in some vague way,as a key to a fuller understanding of the world.
