18世纪中叶,英国人瓦特改良蒸汽机,带动一系列技术革命,在人类近代生产史和科技史上引爆了一场具有划时代意义的伟大革命,史称工业革命。这次工业革命使人类的生产活动第一次实现从手工工场向机器大工厂的飞跃,大大提高了劳动生产率,率先将英国带进现代工业社会,使之成为当时世界创造和拥有社会财富的中心。当“日不落”神话日渐消失了200多年后的今天,我们重新走进英伦的土地,抚今追昔,仍可感受到“世界工厂”的落日余晖。
In the middle of the eighteenth century, Watts, a British steam engine, improved a series of technological revolutions and detonated an epoch-making great revolution in the history of modern mankind’s production and science and technology. The history was called the industrial revolution. This industrial revolution enabled mankind’s production activities for the first time to leap from handicraft workshops to machine factories and greatly enhanced labor productivity. It took the lead in bringing Britain into the modern industrial society and made it the center of the world’s creation and possession of social wealth . Today, when the mythology of “day does not fall” disappears more than 200 years later, we can walk into the land of England once again and still feel the afterglow of “World Factory ”.
