<注釋>A clear indication of the way in which human effort has been harnessed as a force for the commercial production of goods and services is the change in meaning of the wordindustry. Coming from the Latin wordindustria, meaning .diligent activity directed to some purpose,.and its descendant, Old Frenchindustrie, with the senses .activity,. .ability,. and .a trade or occupation,.our word (first recorded in 475) originally meant .skill,. .a device,. and .diligence. as well as .a trade..As more and more human effort over the course of the Industrial Revolution became involved in producing goods and services for sale,the last sense ofindustry as well as the slightly newer sense .systematic work or habitual employment. grew in importance, to a large extent taking over the word.We can even speak now of the Shakespeare industry,rather like the garment industry.The sense .diligence, assiduity,. lives on, however,perhaps even to survive industry itself.
industry 有一個明顯的含義，即指將人力組織轉(zhuǎn)化成進(jìn)行貨物商業(yè)性生產(chǎn)和進(jìn)行商業(yè)性服務(wù)的方法，而在有此含義前，這個詞經(jīng)歷了多次變化。 這個詞來源于拉丁文industria ， 意思是.為某種目的而進(jìn)行的勤奮的活動.；后來這個拉丁字發(fā)展成古法語單詞industrie ， 其意思是.活動性.、.能力.和.一種行業(yè)和職業(yè).。英文單詞（最早的記載是475年）原意是.技巧.、.方法.、.勤奮.，也有.一種行業(yè).之意。隨著產(chǎn)業(yè)革命的開展，越來越多的人力被用于進(jìn)行貨物生產(chǎn)和商業(yè)服務(wù)，industry 最新的含義及其較新的意思.有組織的勞動或習(xí)慣性的雇傭.變得重要起來， 并逐漸成為這個詞最主要的意思?，F(xiàn)在，我們甚至在提到莎士比亞研究時，就象提及成衣制造業(yè)。不過，.勤勞、勤奮.這層含義仍在使用，也許只要這個單詞存在，這層含義就不會消失
