The Industrial Revolution

What makes it especially English ? Obviously , it began in England. England was already the leading ,manufacturing nation . But the manufacture was cottage industry , and the Industrial Revolution begins in the village . The men who make it are craftsmen: the millwright ,the watchmaker , the canal builder , the blacksmith .What makes the Industrial Revolution so peculiarly English is that it is rooted in the countryside.
什么使得工业革命具有英国特色？不言而喻，工业革命起源于英格兰。英国是头号的制造业国家。但是这种制造业是手工作坊，而工业革命就起源于乡下的手工作坊。推动工业革命的是工匠：水磨匠，手表匠，修水渠的匠人，以及铁匠。这场工业革命的英国特色在于它扎根再农村。

During the first half of the eighteenth century , in the old age of Newton and decline of the Royal Society , England basked in a last Indian summer of village industry and overseas trade of merchant adventures . The summer faded . Trade grew more competitive . By the end of the century the needs of industry were harsher and more pressing . The organisation of work in the cottage was no longer productive enough. Within two generations , roughly between 1760 and 1820 , the customary way of running industry changed . Before 1760 , it was standard to take work to villagers on their own homes . By 1820 , it was standard to bring workers into a factory and have overseen.

十八世纪中叶，那是牛顿所处的旧时代，也是英国皇家协会没落的时代。英格兰沐浴在农村手工作坊和海外商人冒险活动贸易的余晖中。余晖消失了，贸易竞争变得愈发激烈。到了十八世纪末期，工业需求变得愈发的尖锐和迫切。农村手工作坊的组织形式生产效率不够。在1760年到1820年，两代人的时间里，工业运作的传统模式在艰难中发生了变革。1760年之前，村民在自己家中工作是通常的做法。到1820年，流行的是组织工人进工厂并且在监督之下劳动。
overseen:监督 ** customary ：传统的 **The summer faded ：余晖消失了
